Malcolm X: The number one weapon of 20th century imperialism is Zionist dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist Israel.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

"Given the opportunity, the IRS will take the easy way out and grab whatever it can... the IRS does not really care about you and what your future... may be." ~ Santo Presti
I can vouch for the veracity of this statement. The IRS assumes everyone is a criminal tax dodger. They don't even know what the benefit of doubt is. This is very ironic, given that the tax code is so complicated that they can't even fully comprehend it.

So yesterday I saw a @postmarketOS toot about their web flasher for Android devices, and I thought - how hard would it be to make one for L5? Turns out - not hard at all. Here it is booting Jumpdrive.
Some caveats: - requires permission setting on Linux π I may work out-of-box on other platforms though - it's sloooow, but there's hope: github.com/WebAssembly/design/β¦ - asks 5 times to allow access to the device. Could go down to 3, but no less than that.
In the last meeting we briefly discussed this, and it was suggested that I write up more details of the problem and some possible solutions. I did that here: https://gist.github.com/kripken/949eab9...
@opensourceopenmind @postmarketOS Yes, it needs WebUSB & WebHID and therefore Chromium. Dunno how well Chromium plays with Flatpak though, sounds like it could be fiddly.
I'm not sure I'm convinced about convenience being so much better. Definitely on Windows or macOS, but since uuu is packaged across distros it would seem to me that the option with the least friction is usually to just grab it from the repos. I'm willing to accept that I'm the weird one though π
@datum @postmarketOS The thing is that the permission popup needs to be triggered by a user gesture. Not a dealbreaker, but makes designing a proper UI around it somewhat awkward - and I'm afraid that having so many buttons and popups in the process could actually *increase* the chance of just clicking through them all mindlessly π€ͺ
βThe IRS is an extraordinary example of the end justifying the means. The means of this agency is growth. It is interesting that the revenue officers within the IRS refer to taxpayers as 'inventory'. The IRS embodies the political realities of the selfish human desire to dominate others. Thus the end of this gigantic pretense of officialdom is power, pure and simple.

I told the office to tell them I'd call on Monday and not to give any information or answer a single question b4 that. This should be fun.

Escape the Corporate Cage Most people go through life in a trance. They are in a rut, a routine, and go through the motions of daily life without thinking. And then, life slips by.
For most people the joy of living is muted by the daily grind. They never find the time or the money to embrace life on their own terms. Some people, keeping an open mind, however, discover an escape route from the drudge of daily living.

Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
Father, by the love of your Spirit, may we who have experienced the grace of the Lordβs resurrection rise to the newness of life in joy. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
