Enver Hoxha: Peaceful coexistence between two opposing systems does not imply, as the modern revisionists claim, that we should give up the class struggle. On the contrary, the class struggle must continue; the political and ideological struggle against imperialism, against bourgeois. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

Germany takes down eXch cryptocurrency exchange, seizes servers
"During the law enforcement operation, the authorities also seized eight terabytes of data and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Dash) worth approximately $38,000,000
There is a suspicion that eXch especially accepted Bitcoin of criminal origin. Among other things, part of the stolen 1.5 billion US dollars from the crypto exchange Bybit, which was hacked on February 21, 2025, is believed to have been laundered through eXch."

Playtron has made some waves in Linux gaming. They have lots of big names in Linux working on the project. Recently they were featured by Framework today in their presentation. However, I think it's abundantly clear that anyone who cares about FOSS should stay far away from this.
I was intrigued by this as well some months ago. I even ignored when they blatantly lied about Valve/Steam locking down their OS to only play Steam games. So I gave it a try and installed it. On setup they wanted me to agree to a EULA. That was red flag #2. Never seen that before. Then they wanted me to agree to their privacy policy. It is a very typical corporate user-hostile privacy policy. Some highlights

So idk if it's just me or if this is happening to others, but Monero p2pool has been behaving oddly since earlier this week. The PPLNS window used to be something like 6 hours, but now suddenly it's dropped down to 1 or 2 hours... this is what p2pool main chain used to be.
I've confirmed via status output that I am indeed running on mini, not main, but p2pool is now behaving as thought it's on main. I used to reliably get several shares per day, even if they didn't always turn into payouts. Now it's been like a week with nothing... again, just like main chain used to be.
I've tried restarting the p2pool process, even rebooting the whole machine, but no change. I might have to blow out the entire container and re-create it just to see if that changes anything, but I feel like this shouldn't be happening.
@Mark yes it is. they have like 200 MH/s which means they have overwhelming majority of power on mini chain. you will get fewer payouts but higher amounts which should result in similar same profitability over time.

The Soldier Who Assassinated Shireen Abu Akleh is Dead
Palestinian journalist and US citizen Shireen Abu Akleh was martyred on May 11, 2022 while covering zionist crimes in Jenin. As the occupation typically does after deliberately targeting journalists, they denied any involvement, claiming that Palestinian resistance fighters had shot the Al-Jazeera journalist.
Independent investigations in the following months all came to the same conclusion: a zionist sniper had deliberately shot Abu Akleh, despite her being clearly marked as a journalist. In the meantime, occupation forces stormed the journalist’s funeral in Al-Quds, assaulting mourners and causing her coffin to fall. Naturally, the United States turned a blind eye to the murder of its citizen by virtue of the fact that her murderer was a zionist settler.
She was neither the first nor the last journalist assassinated in cold blood for reporting the truth: Over 210 Palestinian journalists have been martyred since the start of the occupation’s aggression on Gaza. The occupation has never pursued action against soldiers who target journalists, and the case of Shireen Abu Akleh was no exception: despite a halfhearted apology over a year later, the occupation refused to name the soldier responsible.
A new investigation sought to uncover the identity of this murderer. According to the documentary’s producers:
“Earlier this year, we did what the US failed to do and found Shireen’s killer. It turned out that the soldier who shot Shireen in Jenin was himself killed last year in the same West Bank city. The soldier, Alon Scagio, had been quietly transferred to a different unit after the ‘israeli’ investigation into Shireen’s death.” The operation in which the soldier was killed was recorded in detail on RNN here.
This is the fate of every foreign tyrant who has invaded the land of Palestine, delivered by the resistance, and paid for by the blood of the martyrs. It is worth noting that war criminal Scagio was not targeted for his brutal murder of Shireen: when confronting the criminal zionist entity, one can be sure that they are confronting a monster who is paying for their crimes.
Shireen Abu Akleh was avenged on the pure soil of Jenin, where she was martyred. Every Palestinian will be avenged on the same pure soil, until liberation.

I've been noticing an influx of users with anonomized usernames (ie: fjdasklfpudiosa722104891fdaf20j.srv.us).
As a moderator this concerns me because it immediately triggers a 'this is a bot or nefarious actor' instinct. Is there any reason not to be wary these accounts?
I've been using Fedi for a long time and from the very beginning I've been afraid of spam and bots ruining it, at least temporarily. Spam is still a problem with e-mail, and it's been around for 40 years and they've developed very sophisticated anti-spam mitigations for it.
The problem is that most of the 'spam' comes from official things like websites that you've signed up to and didn't realise would also include dumb fkn emails periodically. And they don't always do it right away either. I've had emails suddenly start arriving from somewhere that I signed up to like a year before.
Personally, my spam mitigation is to have one email address for signing up to shit with. Then these assholes can email me until they're blue in the face and I don't care because the only time I ever visit that inbox is for verification. And then I have another email address for personal use that never gets used because who uses email for personal use these days?
In conclusion. Email is for signing up to things and collecting trash that I'll never look at.
IMHO messages from things you've signed up to are unlikely to be "spam". I've always understood that word to mainly mean completely unsolicited messages from people you have no previous relationship with at all; though if it's clearly unwanted it might include some of the former too.
A ton of things I have signed up for spam me with trash emails that they don't put in the 'sales' or 'offers' categories I unchecked. Just because I was forced to create an account to buy one thing doesn't mean I have a 'business relatiotionship' that justifies multiple daily reminders of what they have in stock.
😆😂🤣 Uuuuhh... Aaaah... I normally generate a random password and use it as my username for most services. Like even my bank.
This is because I've realized the username is mostly useless and is just a handle for my account. It doesn't matter to me if my username is jsmith, meow123, or kekxbek. In fact, it's easier if I don't have to come up with something novel or cool.
I'm a real boy. I promise. Not a malicious bot.
Although... If I were a malicious bot, that's exactly what I would say! 😲

@ambergrey @babumenos My stuff isn’t really much more than demos - doesn’t really feel quite right for Bandcamp! Perhaps I should just do an Old Fashioned Web Site.
@ambergrey @babumenos yeah i wanted to pop in to say exactly this. im already revamping my entire site, i think i'll put a page for shitty ole demos and stuff that aren't proper releases instead of moving to a different corpo that will inevitably go the same route. html supports audio streaming with minimal code, one could go the faircamp route if they want it to look pretty.
@benda @ambergrey @babumenos Yeah makes sense. The thing I worry about with this approach is that I’m swapping SoundCloud-stealing-my-stuff for Everyone-With-A-Scraper stealing my stuff. Perhaps something like a CAPTCHA would be enough to prevent that.

⬛Quelles sont les causes du Black out en Espagne ? C'est le sujet le plus abordé sur le plus grand salon consacré au solaire Intersolar.
Nous n'avons pas les résultats de l'enquête officielle mais nous avons collecté des hypothèses pertinentes depuis une semaine.
🧑🤝🧑 version pour un enfant de 5 ans : C'est comme si on change le moteur d'une vieille voiture par le moteur de tesla sans changer les freins, en ligne droite tout va bien mais dans les virages... c'est la cata.
👨🔬version pour les grands : Pourquoi l’Espagne a perdu 15 GW de production électrique en quelques secondes, provoquant un black-out.
en synthèse : en cas de défaut, les centrales solaires se deconnectent en quelques millisecondes provoquant une réaction en chaîne ingérable. Alors qu'un système à inertie se déconnecte beaucoup plus lentement. Le système de régulation utilisé a été conçu à l'époque des machines tournantes et pas avec du solaire. Nous devons changer les seuils de déclanchement.
En détail : utilisons la règle des 5 pourquoi
Pourquoi n°1 :
Pourquoi la production a-t-elle chuté si brutalement ? Parce qu’un grand nombre de centrales solaires se sont déconnectées simultanément du réseau.
Piste RTE : cela s’est produit principalement en Estrémadure, dans des zones très ensoleillées avec beaucoup de PV raccordé en réseau moyenne tension.
Pourquoi n°2 :
Pourquoi les centrales solaires se sont-elles déconnectées ? Parce que les protections automatiques (anti-îlotage, chute de fréquence, surtension, etc.) ont été déclenchées en cascade, en réponse à une variation brutale de fréquence.
RTE explique que certains onduleurs ont réagi de manière trop sensible à une chute de fréquence locale, provoquant une réaction en chaîne.
Pourquoi n°3 :
Pourquoi la fréquence a-t-elle chuté si rapidement ? Parce que le système électrique espagnol manquait d’inertie, c’est-à-dire de masses tournantes (turbines, alternateurs) capables d’amortir les fluctuations.
Un système très renouvelable, très solaire, ça c’est bien. Mais quand le soleil brille, y’a peu de turbines en marche : moins d’inertie = plus de sensibilité.
Pourquoi n°4 :
Pourquoi manquait-il d’inertie dans le réseau ? Parce que la production d’électricité était ce jour-là majoritairement assurée par du photovoltaïque (et un peu d’éolien), et que peu de centrales thermiques tournaient.
La production solaire représentait plus de 60 % de la couverture de charge à ce moment-là. Mais il est utile de rappeler que le système Espagnol a déjà fonctionné avec 100% d'ENR.
Pourquoi n°5 :
Pourquoi la structure du réseau n’était-elle pas prête à encaisser une telle situation ? Parce que le dimensionnement et les paramètres de réglage des protections n’étaient pas suffisamment adaptés à un réseau massivement renouvelable sans inertie.
Traduction : l’Espagne est en avance sur la transition énergétique, mais son système de protections, conçu à l’époque des grosses centrales thermiques, doit évoluer.
If you'e been wondering how to monetize your fediverse posting ... sub.club has good news for you!
"If you post quality content and you've developed a loyal audience, you should be able to ask your most passionate followers to support you with a premium subscription.
That's a promise not available on the Fediverse ...until now."
sub.club's a project of The BLVD, Inc, the makers of @mammoth. I know there was a lot of skepticism when Marc Benioff, Mozilla, Long Ventures et al, funded Mammoth ... with so many good apps out there, how are they expecting to get VC-level returns on their investment? But if sub.club can tap into the creator economy, there's clearly money to be made!
Attached: 1 video
We've been working on a little something with @bart@moth.social and friends and it's launching today!
https://sub.club/ is now online and already integrated into @IceCubesApp@mastodon.
"The potential for sub.club could grow alongside the open social web. When Meta’s Threads fully integrates with ActivityPub, it would bring a new class of creators into the fediverse, and they may be looking for alternative means of monetization beyond advertising, which the fediverse generally avoids. (Threads, however, may not).
That’s a potentially monetizable activity, Decrem thinks, which is why Mammoth and sub.club’s parent company, The Blvd. Inc., is seeking to raise a seed round.
“If people start building little apps, you’ll start seeing entrepreneurial activity and money flowing through the system. And I think that’s exciting to a class of investors,” Decrem said."
Sub.club thinks premium feeds could also serve other use cases, like supporting helpful bots or generating funds to help maintain a community's Mastodon server, for instance.
Meanwhile my post starting this thread is just barely in the top 10 ... at -57!
OK, sure, her artcile's a lot better than my post, fair enough ... but -57 🤣?
From the comments, it looks like some people thought my post was self-promotional spam ... which is pretty funny actually. No, I was just reporting the facts. Good times.
The Soldier Who Assassinated Shireen Abu Akleh is Dead
Palestinian journalist and US citizen Shireen Abu Akleh was martyred on May 11, 2022 while covering zionist crimes in Jenin. As the occupation typically does after deliberately targeting journalists, they denied any involvement, claiming that Palestinian resistance fighters had shot the Al-Jazeera journalist.
Independent investigations in the following months all came to the same conclusion: a zionist sniper had deliberately shot Abu Akleh, despite her being clearly marked as a journalist. In the meantime, occupation forces stormed the journalist’s funeral in Al-Quds, assaulting mourners and causing her coffin to fall. Naturally, the United States turned a blind eye to the murder of its citizen by virtue of the fact that her murderer was a zionist settler.
She was neither the first nor the last journalist assassinated in cold blood for reporting the truth: Over 210 Palestinian journalists have been martyred since the start of the occupation’s aggression on Gaza. The occupation has never pursued action against soldiers who target journalists, and the case of Shireen Abu Akleh was no exception: despite a halfhearted apology over a year later, the occupation refused to name the soldier responsible.
A new investigation sought to uncover the identity of this murderer. According to the documentary’s producers:
“Earlier this year, we did what the US failed to do and found Shireen’s killer. It turned out that the soldier who shot Shireen in Jenin was himself killed last year in the same West Bank city. The soldier, Alon Scagio, had been quietly transferred to a different unit after the ‘israeli’ investigation into Shireen’s death.” The operation in which the soldier was killed was recorded in detail on RNN here.
This is the fate of every foreign tyrant who has invaded the land of Palestine, delivered by the resistance, and paid for by the blood of the martyrs. It is worth noting that war criminal Scagio was not targeted for his brutal murder of Shireen: when confronting the criminal zionist entity, one can be sure that they are confronting a monster who is paying for their crimes.
Shireen Abu Akleh was avenged on the pure soil of Jenin, where she was martyred. Every Palestinian will be avenged on the same pure soil, until liberation.

Three civil society groups claim that Israel's Channel 14 News aired hundreds of statements like 'it really needs to be total annihilation' in Gaza and 'there are no innocents' – while Israeli authorities refused to act against the channel
Der israelische Sender Channel14 ist der Haussender von Netanyahu. Hier läuft seit eine so umfassende Masse an Hass über den Bildschirm, dass klar wird - hier werden systematisch genozidale Verbrechen an Palästinensern gefordert.
In Israel ein Verbrechen, bei dem das Rechtssystem selbst tätig werden muss, und Strafen bis zur Todesstrafe möglich sind. (Eingeführt mit dem Beitritt Israels zur Genozidkonvention)
Einer der Anwälte der die Klage eingereicht hat ist der israelische Menschenrechtsanwalt Michael Sfard, der in einem Thread hier beschreibt um was es geht. Er betont dass die Menge an Aufhetzung so enorm ist, dass es sich nur um eine redaktionelle Linie handeln kann. Michael Sfard merkt auch an, dass der Sender eine vergleichbare aufhetzende Funktion wie Radio Ruanda hat, folgerichtig sind dann hohe Mitarbeiter als Kriegsverbrecher vom ICC verurteilt worden.
@sfardm: . 1. היום, הגשתי יחד עם עו"ד עינת גייר ממשרדי עתירה לבג"צ בדרישה לפתוח בחקירה נגד ערוץ 14 בשל הסתה לרצח עם, לפשעי מלחמה ולפשעים נגד האנושות. זה לא כיף להיכנס ללוע של מכונת הרעל, אבל...
Erst in dieser Woche forderte der Produzent von Channel 14 Elad Brashi dazu auf die Bevölkerung in Gaza zu vernichten, explizit forderte er einen Holocaust, Gaskammern und Eisenbahnwaggons.
Auch Mosche Saada, MK der Likud redete wieder beim Channel 14 und kündigte ein "großes Ereignis der Eroberung, Auslöschung und Auswanderung aus Gaza" an. Vor wenigen Wochen bekannte er sich dazu dass er die Menschen in Gaza komplett verhungern lassen wolle und eine Pflicht zur Vertreibung postulierte.
👍 Es gab in Kulturzeit schon mehr als einen Bericht darüber, wie sehr die Medien in #Israel manipuliert werden und dass es immer schwieriger wird, eine kritische Sicht auf die Situation zu senden. Netanjahu und sein ultrarechter Koalitionspartner verbieten so etwas zunehmend.
