Karl Marx: Along with the constantly diminishing number of the magnates of capital, who usurp and monopolize all advantages of this process of transformation, grows the mass of misery, oppression, slavery, degradation, exploitation; but with this too grows the revolt of the working-class, a class always increasing in numbers, and disciplined, united, organized by the very mechanism of the process of capitalist production itself. 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.

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.

Like I'm seriously considering adding #California under all my photos. Which seems very silly and stupid, cause it's not like anyone else on this website is using #Germany under their posts.
However, I'm like, proudly Californian. Much more so than I am proud of being American, at this specific moment. And with the constant barrage of negative news under that hashtag, I would like to bring at least a bit of positivity into that otherwise negative space.
Especially since the majority of the negative news about California is hyperbolic and astroturfed, funded by MAGA and MAGA sympathizers afraid of successful counternarratives to their agenda.
Trump's fear of California and his preventative measures to counteract Californian policies and politicians have been well-documented now in books such as “Fight” by Jonathan Allen & Amie Parnes and “Revenge” by Alex Isenstadt, just to name a few.
We now know that the increase in right-wing talking points against California towards the latter half of the last election season is due to the Trump campaign's fear of Joe Biden dropping out and California Governor Gavin Newsom taking his place on the ballot.
As rumors about Newsom's potential presidential candidacy continue to grow, and as our attorney general, Rob Bonta, steps down from seeking higher office to better focus on suing MAGA for their crimes against democracy, I just know there's gonna be an increase in negativity against my home.
I know that people will once again tear apart the policies that have improved millions of lives and the safety of this planet, for not improving *all* lives and outright *saving* this planet.
Because to MAGA and MAGA sympathizers, striving toward salvation without attaining it is no different than being damned.
Obviously, there's not much I can do about that kind of prejudice. But with the importance of hashtags in timeline curation on Mastodon, I think changing how I write mine to add a little cheer into someone's doomscrolling routine is a net benefit for the health of Fedi.
Anyways, tl;dr: I apologize to everyone who has ever boosted my photos for the notification spam in advance, part 2.
California often functions as a nation, culturally and politically. Its presence in the national news is not unlike the United States' presence in global news. No other state or province accurately compares to it in that regard, so any other analogy I could make would've been even weaker.

The Benefits To Alberta Becoming a American State, ( Best parts of the talk 😀
The amount of investment our agricultural and energy industries would see with companies listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ vs the TSX would be astronomical.
Likewise, without the foreign exchange volatility in dealing with the Canadian dollar, capital would flood into the province, seeing a sustained economic boom unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
The Alberta oil industry struggles constantly to ride market price increases because of the very small pool of labour we can attract to actually implement large energy products.
We almost drained the entire province of Newfoundland in the last boom, and it still wasn’t enough to meet up with labour demands. That isn’t a problem with over 325 million Americans who could cross into our border without any kind of a passport or work visa.
All those factors would also be a boon to all our secondary industries as well: forestry, mining, tech, tourism and financial services.
Cost of living would fall like a stone and living standards would consistently increase.
Then there’s the strength of The American Constitution which actually has meaningful protections for the right to keep and bear arms, property rights, and most importantly freedom of speech.
Oh… and the Oilers and Flames might actually be able to win the Stanley Cup.
( No Canadian team can win because the American teams pay better and players aren’t taxed to de@th as they are in Canada. / That’s why the best Canadian talent moves to the US (and not just in hockey).

Stalin: Power to the Soviets implies a thorough purge of every government institution in the rear and at the front, from top to bottom. Power to the Soviets implies that every "chief" in the rear and at the front must be elected and subject to recall. Power to the Soviets implies that all "persons in authority" in town and country, in the army and navy, in "departments" and "establishments," on the railways and in post and telegraph offices must be elected and subject to recall. Power to the Soviets means the dictatorship of the proletariat revolutionary peasantry. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Someone gave me a helium balloon the other day and I'm amazed at how I forgot what I learned as a kid: Which is that playing with a helium balloon can be loads of fun and a great distraction. I liked giving it a nudge every time it inched close to my desk, only to watch it meander its way back in a minute or two.
Note to self: Tethering a helium balloon to your desk is not a great idea if you also have touch screens. I was AFK for like 10 minutes and come back and the thing had gotten my browser into quite a mess, and there were like 10 tabs open for various sketchy sites. Thankfully this was all in a VM, but just FYI: Balloons may look harmless, but they definitely have a mind of their own.
We misunderstand the strengths of the commons of tools and not knowing how we play to our strengths.
Free software today is usually promoted through big brands like libreoffice, gimp or firefox. These are successful in terms of branding, but is not playing to the strengths of the commons. In the commons, we move away from the walled and towards the interconnected.
The strenghts doesn't lie in bloated and branded tools, but rather in the small tools that anyone can make if they have some spare time. We need to reframe away from the bloatedness to the caresome. Where the tools are easily made, available by birth and easily tinkerable.
And we need towards the descriptive instead of the branded. Towards letting words dictate tools instead of tools dictating words.
Today operating systems revolves around the branded, bloated and wasteful. The lokening is to move towards operating systems that inbosoms the caresome and descriptive.
I wonder what these two have been taking about for the last 150 years? These heads are on neighbouring door surrounds on 1870s townhouses on Westbourne Gardens in Glasgow. It's unusual that they're looking away from their own doors rather than towards them.

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.

Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.

Celui-ci, c'est typiquement mon genre de jeu solo préféré. Jets de dés, combos, cartes, puzzle game, issue binaire (on se fait laminer par le jeu, et parfois, sur un malentendu et une série de jets de dés favorables, on le bat). On doit défendre sa forteresse assiégée par une horde de 5x5 cartes. Les 4 premières lignes sont des créatures (qui attaquent et font des dégats lorsqu'elles sont en première ligne), la dernière, des engins de siège (qui ont une portée définie). On doit attaquer tout ça et éviter que notre forteresse tombe. À chaque manche, on lance notre pool de dés (7 au départ, mais ça varie durant la partie), on résout les engins de siège à portée (dégats éventuels), on tire un évenement (forcément défavorable), et enfin on attaque (on assigne des dés aux créatures en première ligne). Quand on bat une créature, on gagne sa carte qui a un pouvoir (généralement, de manipulation des dés qu'il nous reste). En fin de manche, les premières lignes non-vaincues nous font des dégats, tout le monde avance vers la fortersess, et on pioche de nouvelles créatures/engins pour combler les trous. Condition de victoire, venir à bout de la pile de 18 engins de siège (même si il reste des créatures). Conditions de défaite, prendre trop de dégats (4) sur une des 5 colonnes, avoir un engin de siège en première ligne lors de la résolution des engins, épuiser la pile de créatures lors du renforcement. Pour résumer, 7 tours pour casser 18 cartes qui ne sont pas immédiatement à portée, tuer des créatures pour bénéficier de leur pouvoir, mais pas trop pour ne pas épuiser leur pioche. Trèèèès dificile ! J'ai encore jamais gagné (4 parties). Les parties durent environ 45min, le niveau est très élevé mais la mécanique est fluide et les combos hyper satisfaisants (donc on y revient plein d'espoir). La rejouabilité est très grande car la grille de 25 cartes n'est jamais la même, et on gagne parfois des "héros" qui nous permettent des combos supplémentaires. L'artwork est démentiel (comme sur toute la gamme des jeux "Valéria"), le matos de grande qualité. J'adore ce jeu. 35€ en neuf, chopé à 15€ en occas', une affaire vu comment je l'apprécie.
Dans un article publié par The Palestine Chronicle, l’historien israélien Ilan Pappé explique avec beaucoup d’acuité le silence de l’Occident sur la Palestine – en particulier celui des universitaires, des journalistes et des politiciens – par un phénomène de « panique morale » qui conduit à une absence de compassion et de solidarité avec les victimes du génocide en cours à Gaza.

trajet de 500 km, température d'environ 18-22°C ce jour-là, donc idéale.
5h30 de route environ. Aller à 130 une fois passé Roissy, retour plutôt 110/120.
1h20 de charge environ (54kWh rechargés)
Départ chargé à 100%. Retour 32%. J'aurais donc pu charger un peu moins longtemps pour arriver entre 10 et 20% de batterie, en utilisant la planification de charge avec par exemple ABRP.
Clairement la Ioniq 38, malgré sa capacité de batterie limitée et sa vitesse de recharge très faible par rapport aux normes actuelles, reste parfaitement utilisable grâce à sa consommation très faible par rapport à la majorité des véhicules du marché (à part la BMW i4 et la Tesla Model 3). En pratique, elle ne doit pas mettre plus de temps que des voitures comme la R5 (52kWH, charge à 85kWh) qui consomment beaucoup plus que la Ioniq 38 sur autoroute (R5 : 21 à 23 kWh/100 km à 130).
On constate sur les graphiques qu'il n'est pas intéressant de charger au-delà de 75% : la puissance de charge baisse alors à 22 kW. Une charge typique est donc de 20 kWh environ, de quoi parcourir environ 150 km à 110.
Ainsi, sur un long trajet autoroutier, on fera typiquement 200 km sur la première étape, puis environ 150 km sur les suivantes.
Charge au départ : 38 kWh
Charge à l'arrivée : 12kWh
Total chargé en route : 54kWh
Puissance moyenne de charge : 41kWh (sur un maximum de 49kWh : on dit merci à la température extérieure favorable)
Consommé 67 kWh, moyenne sur le parcours 14,5 kWh/100km.
Consommation à 130 km/h : 15 à 16 kWh/100 km.
Consommation à 110 km/h : environ 13 à 14 kWh/100 km.
Coût de la recharge sur autoroute : entre 0,68 et 0,69€/kWh, 37€
Coût comparatif avec ma Volvo diesel (6l/100 km à 120) : 51€ de gazole environ. Même au tarif exorbitant du kWh sur autoroute (3 à 4 fois plus cher qu'à la maison), ça reste rentable.

Thousands Rally in Burkina Faso in Support of Revolution Following Alleged Coup Attempt
Thousands of people rallied in Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou on Wednesday in support of the revolution after an alleged coup attempt and comments by an American official criticizing the leader Ibrahim Traore.
Last week, the West African country’s government said it foiled a “major plot” to overthrow Capt. Ibrahim Traore, with the army alleging the plotters were based in neighboring Ivory Coast.
Earlier this month, Gen. Michael Langley, the head of U.S. military in Africa, tried to smear Traore during a U.S. Senate committee hearing of using Burkina Faso’s gold reserves to benefit the junta at the expense of the population.
Crowds of protesters gathered at the Place de la Revolution in Ouagadougou on Wednesday, chanting “Long live Captain Traore!” with some holding banners showing a photo of Gen. Langley with the word “slave” written on his head with red marker. Others waved Burkina Faso and Russia’s flag, a close ally of the West African country.
Ocibi Johann, a musician who came to the protest, said he is not surprised at the accusations launched by Langley. “Because Colin Powell lied, Iraq was destroyed. Barack Obama lied, Gaddafi was killed. But this time, their lies won’t affect us. That’s why we tell them – we’re not against them – but we are against predation and economic slavery,” he said.
Until last year, the U.S. had military bases in neighboring Niger as part of its supposed counterterrorism work in the Sahel, land south of the Sahara, but withdrew after the West African nation ended the military agreement between the two countries.
Burkina Faso, along with its neighbors Niger and Mali, has for over a decade battled an insurgency fought by jihadi groups, including some allied with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.
Following military coups in all three nations in recent years, the ruling parties severed military ties with colonial Western countries such as the U.S. and France, and turned to Russia for military support.
Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger created their own security partnership, known as the Alliance of Sahel States, in 2023.
Following a September 2022 coup, Capt. Ibrahim Traore was named the transitional president of Burkina Faso and promised to bring security and prosperity to the West African nation, following in the tradition of Thomas Sankara, capturing the hearts and minds of many young people in his country and around the world.
Sekou Ansumariam Dukaly, one of the protester, said he came to Burkina Faso all the way from Liberia.
“I came to Ouagadougou today to participate in this demonstration in support of Captain Ibrahim Traore, because he represents hope for Africa, hope for Black people, hope for all freedom fighters around the globe,” he said.

Terence McKenna: Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coersion, brainwashing, and manipulation. 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.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.

Trying to set up clamonacc to watch /home, /tmp and /storage (where I mount other drives). It keeps failing due to ERROR: ClamInotif: could not add element to hash table for ... that causes ERROR: ClamInotif: issue when adding watch for /home/lojcs and ultimately ERROR: ClamInotif: could not watch path '/home/', Invalid argument passed to function.
The initial error was triggered by the steam folder, empty cache directory of starship, firefox cache directory, my 'Games' folder and after that I stopped excluding the directories. I don't see the point in having on-access scan if I need to carve out large chunks of the filesystem to make it work for reasons I don't understand. I don't see anything common with those directories or what makes them different than the ones it has no problem watching.
Has anyone successfully set up clamonacc? This is like the 3rd time I'm trying in the last couple years and it never works.
I didn't, I followed the arch linux guide which uses a systemd service. But there doesn't seem to be anything the documentation says to do that I didn't neither, it's written as if it's supposed to just work

Especially since the majority of the negative news about California is hyperbolic and astroturfed, funded by MAGA and MAGA sympathizers afraid of successful counternarratives to their agenda.

We now know that the increase in right-wing talking points against California towards the latter half of the last election season is due to the Trump campaign's fear of Joe Biden dropping out and California Governor Gavin Newsom taking his place on the ballot.

I know that people will once again tear apart the policies that have improved millions of lives and the safety of this planet, for not improving *all* lives and outright *saving* this planet.
Because to MAGA and MAGA sympathizers, striving toward salvation without attaining it is no different than being damned.

California often functions as a nation, culturally and politically. Its presence in the national news is not unlike the United States' presence in global news. No other state or province accurately compares to it in that regard, so any other analogy I could make would've been even weaker.
