Kurde, pamiętam, jak Konstal N jeszcze się czasem trafiał (chyba już jako awaryjne uzupełnianie taboru) jak jeździłem do podstawówki. Jakbym go miał na co dzień, to by mi pewnie zbrzydło, ale dla dzieciaka te drewniane siedzenia i inaczej otwierane drzwi to była atrakcja.

Samsun ufkunda bir güneş doğdu, diyorlar. Oysa Karadeniz’in dağlarında ölüm, kan, duman tütüyordu. Bir millet doğdu diyorlar, bir başka millet toprağından, dilinden, tarihinden siliniyordu.
Adına “kurtuluş” dediler, ama kim için, kimden? Yıkılan sadece bir imparatorluk muydu, yoksa komşunun evi, kilisesi, mezarlarıymıy dı?
Bir elinde nutuk, ötekiyle susturulan çığlıklar… Rum anaların çocukları Karadeniz’de boğuldu, Sürgün yolları taş değil, kemik doluydu.
Ve şimdi… Her 19 Mayıs’ta, birileri bayrak taşırken coşkuyla, birileri içinden kanlı bir denize bakar sessizce.

The UK has paused trade negotiations with Israel over the country's "indefensible" aid blockade in Gaza. It comes after the UN warned 14,000 babies could die in the next 48 hours if the blockade of the enclave continues. Follow the latest here.
UK sanctions individuals, illegal settler outposts and organisations supporting violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank, as Foreign Secretary pauses free trade agreement negotiations with Israel.
Daniella Weiss war zuletzt in Theroux BBC-Doku zu sehen, die taucht überall auf wo es um Siedlungen geht - quasi die Königin der Siedlerbewegung, die Pläne für Siedlungsbau in Gaza schmiedet und laut ihrer Aussage "Das tut was die Regierung nicht öffentlich tun darf" sie helfe der Regierung.
Libi hat eine Vorgeschichte von Gewalt, beste Beziehungen zu Parlamentariern, baut Siedlungen und war auch in Gaza aktiv und hat dort Gebäude zerstört.
After more than a year of publicly vilifying anti-genocide and anti-war crimes protesters in the harshest terms possible, actively aiding the culprit, consistently voting against the pro-humanity majority and falsely legitimizing the atrocities as "proportionate right to defense" which literally is not a thing that exists, yesterday the government of Sweden finally had enough of Netanyahu and gang's crimes against humanity and issued a public condemnation.
Today "Sweden seeks EU sanctions targeting 'individual Israeli ministers' [...] over Israel's treatment of civilian Palestinians in Gaza". lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Don't worry "dear" rulers, you're still co-culpable (also legally).
Da das offenbar etwas größer wird noch etwas Kontext für interessierte:
ich habe eine Hausarbeit in der qualitativen Sozialforschung über Hürden & Motivation bei politischer Partizipation geschrieben. Explorative Pilotstudie, zwei Interviews. Die Erkenntnisse möchte ich bei einem baldigen Talk vorstellen.
Weil mir das Thema am herzen liegt habe ich ein paar Freundinnen & Bekannte gefragt, ob sie Lust haben über Erfahrungen in Hackspaces zu Reden. -> Gleiche Methode, anderes Thema, mehr Daten!
Eins führte zum anderen, ich wurde auf die Idee gebracht meine Bachelorarbeit zum Thema an der TU Chemnitz zu schreiben. Gespräche dazu laufen aktuell, aber so richtig fest ist es noch nicht.
So oder so: am Ende interessiert mich was wir als Community erleben und wie wir vielleicht wachsen können. Dieses Thema möchte ich mit qualitativer empirischer Sozialforschung beleuchten.

Good old ed(1). I don't know why, but every now and then I like to edit my files using ed(1). Are there frequent ed(1) users around here? What is your motivation to use it?
I deeply, deeply do not care about the latest updates to your planet-burning BS-spewing machine. I do not want to use your planet-burning BS-spewing machine. Please stop shoving your planet-burning BS-spewing machine in my face every chance you get.
Look, I *really like* the idea of machine learning and actually really want to use ML features that make my life easier/better. Autocorrect/keyboard suggestions? Yeah I’m a fan. Text to speech? Convenient and accessible! Stunning photos from a tiny sensor? Yes please! Categorizing my photos or extracting text from screenshots? Great, useful!
But I do not want to “chat” with an LLM, doubly so when every interaction is keylogged and then used to train more planet-burning BS-spewing.
I don’t want a computer to pretend to “reason” when it literally can’t reason as well as my five year old—but it sounds sophisticated and smart, so it will trick people into thinking it can.
There are some features LLMs would probably be really good at and I don’t have anything against that, but the fact that the world’s largest corporations are all competing to out-market one another in this space means it’s largely all time-wasting nonsense.
GMKtec EVO-X1 Review: Mini PC shows big performance can come from small packages
The GMKtec EVO-X1 is a mini PC that combines a versatile set of ports with a powerful 12-core, 24-thread AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix Point processor with 16-core RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics and an NPU that delivers up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. And all of that fits inside a compact body that’s smaller than a typical 4×4 NUC computer.

Enver Hoxha: The Marxist-Leninists are not conservative and fanatical, as the revisionists and bourgeois charge. On the contrary, they are the most progressive people, resolute fighters against everything outdated and backward. They stand firmly on the positions of the new and fight with all their might for its victory. The revisionists and all the other opportunists who, as lackeys of the bourgeoisie, defend a lost cause, defend an obsolete order of oppression and exploitation, are conservative and reactionary. It is precisely this reactionary position which has plunged modern revisionism into a new crisis. The liberation of the consciousness of the proletariat and the peoples from the inhibiting influence of revisionism, the dissemination of Marxism-Leninism which points out the only correct course for the struggle and victory, is a primary task today in order to carry forward the revolutionary process in each country and on a world scale. 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.

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.

#Football / Are some European nations moving to ban Israeli sports teams?
As reported by Israeli right-wing populist Ynet, without disclosing sources, #Spain, Belgium and Scandinavian countries reportedly organizing to suspend #Israel from international sports competitions, similar to Russia/Belarus sanctions. Movement targets #FIFA, #UEFA, #FIBA and #Olympic federations following Spanish PM Sánchez calling Israel an "apartheid state" and French President Macron suggesting EU-Israel trade agreement review.
If implemented, Israeli teams would be barred from competing under national flag internationally. No confirmation from sports bodies yet.
»Yair Golan issues a scathing denunciation of the government and the war in Gaza, saying that Israel is killing children in Gaza “as a hobby.”
“Israel is on the way to becoming a pariah state, like South Africa was, if we don’t return to acting like a sane country,” the left-wing leader, a former IDF deputy chief of staff
“And a sane country does not fight against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not give itself the aim of expelling populations”« timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent…
Ergänzend damit kein falscher Eindruck ensteht: Golan ist alles andere als eine Friedenstaube. Er hat in d. Vergangenheit bereits sehr üble Sachen gesagt, etwa Hunger als Waffe befürwortet
>>Zunächst einmal müssen alle Grenzübergänge nach Gaza geschlossen werden. Ich denke, dass humanitäre Hilfe im Rahmen dieser Kampagne nicht zugelassen werden darf. Wir müssen ihnen sagen: Hört zu, bis sie freigelassen werden, werden wir sie verhungern lassen. Das ist völlig legitim<< www-ynet-co-il.translate.goog/…
Yair Golan hat für seine Aussage sehr viel Gegenwind bekommen, teils wüste Beschimpfungen und Diffammierungen.
Mittlerweile hat er einen längeren Post (Übersetzung siehe Screenshot, leider ohne Bildbeschreibung) verfasst, in dem er deutlich macht, dass er mit "tötet Kinder, und vertreibt die Bevölkerung" nur die Regierung meint, und nicht die israelische Armee, die diese Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit durchführt. Er wolle sie schützen, vor dieser Regierung.
Etwa das war leider auch das was bei ihm zu erwarten war.
Er hat spricht die israelische Armee frei davon Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit begangen zu haben, am Ende haben sie für ihn quasi nur Befehle befolgt, vielleicht ja noch nicht mal das.
Es ist eine Art der Kritik, die jede Selbstreflektion innerhalb der Armee, und jedes ethische Fundament innerhalb der Armee unmöglich macht, weil das eigene Handeln gar nicht reflektiert werden muss/soll.
Einfach zu sagen "alles nur die crazy Regierung" ist die billigste Art der Kritik, weil sie die Macht der Regierung unagetastet lässt, gar nicht mehr in Frage stellt, dass ein Großteil der Opposition alles im wesentlichen mitträgt, und all das was die Regierung will und tut nur möglich ist, weil sie eine komplett militarisierte Gesellschaft haben und ein Militär, dass Netanyahus macht ermöglicht. Jede Regierungskritik, die die Machtbasis - das Militär - nicht angreift - ist keine.

Ferhat Kurtay, Eşref Anyık, Mahmut Zengin ve Necmi Öner: Kürt Ulusal Direnişinin 18 Mayıs’ı…
Elias Nin
12 Eylül Askeri Darbesini yapan Generallerin yegâne görevi Kürdistan’daki ulusal ve sınıfsal uyanışı ve Türkiye’deki sınıf mücadelesini boğmak değildi; düşüncenin de tasfiyesi planlanmıştı. Devrimcileri hapsetmek, ezmek, fiziki olarak ortadan kaldırmak bir çare değildi, bunu onlar da biliyordu. Kesin çözüm, ütopyayı ortadan kaldırmaktı, bu da ancak içeriden kuşatmayla mümkün olabilirdi. Bu bakımdan, bunun karşısında direnebilecek kadroların ezilmesi gerekiyordu. Mesela bu yapılmadan Öcalan yolu açılamaz, Kürdistan’ın Türkiyelileşmesi bir “siyasi zafer” olarak Kürtlere sunulamazdı. Diyarbakır 5 No’lu Cezaevi, tasfiye planının 1 numaralı merkeziydi. Tutsakların bu saldırılara karşı koyacak tek silahları vardı, çıplak bedenlerinde vücut bulmuş olan iradeleri. Onları acı ve ölümle tehdit eden düşman, ancak ölüm yenilgiye uğratılarak, bu silah düşmanın elinden alınarak yenilgiye uğratılabilirdi. Mazlum Doğan’ın kendi canına kıyması tam da buydu: O, düşmana şu mesajı vermişti:
“Beni ölümle korkutamazsın, senin elinden o silahı alıp seni silahsız bırakıyorum.”
Mazlum’un ölümü, tutsakları savunma hattından saldırı hattına taşımıştır; onun bayrağı Ferhat Kurtay, Eşref Anyık, Mahmut Zengin ve Necmi Öner tarafından devralındı: Onlar da bedenlerini ateşe vererek Mazlum Doğan’ın yaktığı ateşin alevlerinin bütün Kürdistan’a yayılmasını sağladılar. Tarih: 17 Mayıs 1982 idi. Hayri Durmuş, Kemal Pir, Akif Yılmaz ve Ali Çiçek ise açlıkla açlığı yendiler. Açlıktan bitap düşmüş bedenlerini düşmana siper ederek, Mazlum Doğan, Ferhat Kurtay ve yoldaşları tarafından kazanılan mevzide direndiler. Düşman bir kez yenilgiye uğratılmış, tutsaklar ve onların nezdinde Kürt ulusal direnişi teslim alınmamış, Kürdistan’ın üzerini kaplayan gri bulutlar dağılmaya başlamıştı. Ne var ki bu yeterli olmadı, dışarıdan kuşatan düşman yenilgiye uğratıldı ama düşmanın içeriden kuşatması önlenemedi ve bugünlere gelindi. Sonuç ne olursa olsun, Ferhat Kurtay ve yoldaşlarının yaktıkları ateş gelecek kuşaklara yol göstermeye devam edecek.

Just say no to SaaS, or Software as a Service, a cloud-based delivery model where users access software applications through the internet, typically on a subscription basis. You think it couldn't happen to you until one day through no fault of your own your cut off as these innocent Russians (please note the distinction, Russians, ordinary people, are NOT the government, of which the later is evil everywhere, be it the Russian government or some other government like that of the United States, or your local state or city government) found out the hard way:
SuperTux is NOT the best game ever. It's a generic Mario clone.
You don't need to go full freetard to have an enjoyable gaming experience without the SaaS dystopia getting in your way. Just play older games (either through original hardware of emulators), mods/hacks of existing games, or DRM-free games on sites like GOG or itch.io.
@xianc78 Well, it is a scroller game for sure, but those are a dime a dozen and not exclusive to Mario or Nintendo, but that said not sure it constitutes a clone. Still love the game independent of what anyone else thinks.
Most other platforming games at something to the table or do something different. Sonic has you run into enemies. Kirby has you swallow them and copy their abilities.
SuperTux IS a clone. Even the enemies in the game function the same as the ones from Mario, just with different appearances. It's not a bad game per se. I played it before and enjoyed it. But it feels like most of these libre games don't bring anything new to the table and there is no reason to play them unless you are committed to only using 100% free/libre software.
My main point was to bring up that you don't need to only play FOSS games to avoid the bad business practices of the modern AAA industry.
Hmm, true, you could just not play games too. Playing proprietary (I don't mean assets, just code) games is just wrong. So many better things you could be doing with your time. I'm far from anal when it comes software freedom, but I also don't make excuses for gaming companies. I was mostly OK with what ID did back in the day for example with many games like doom with the release of source code, but licensed the art assets. If you wanted the full game you paid for a copy. The software though you could install for free and the source for that matter.

NASA is demonstrating new microgravity fluids technologies to enable advanced “no-moving-parts” plant-watering methods aboard spacecraft. Crop production in microgravity will be important to provide whole food nutrition, dietary variety, and psychological benefits to astronauts exploring deep space. Unfortunately, even the simplest terrestrial plant watering methods face significant challenges when applied aboard spacecraft due to rogue […]
Musk recently stepped back from his Trump administration Special Government Employee role of leadership of DOGE to focus on his businesses, especially Tesla which was the target of violent attacks over his efforts to reform the federal government and rein in deficit spending.
After spending about $260 million helping elect President Trump and Republicans last year, Elon Musk said Tuesday he does not plan on spending large amounts of money on elections, saying, “I think I’ve done enough,” but did not entirely rul…
#supertux A project that teases you with a cryptocurrency donation link, but then won't actually take your crypto. 🙁 Coinbase supports 5 wallets no one has ever heard of. You apparently can't actually send crypto of any kind to the project. It might be time to just post some IDK Bitcoin, Monero, Dash, Bitcoin Cash, and whatever other actual crypto QR codes instead of relying on an evil intermediary like Coinbase. And yea, Coinbase is truly evil.. They've done everything they possibly can to undermine the use of cryptocurrency as a currency. With their "wallet" they batch payments so if you try and pay a bill it doesn't send it till a while after the button is hit resulting in no payment received by the merchant. You meanwhile are stuck having lost the crypto, look stupid, AND probably will end up having to pay in some form of dirty fiat (government money, of which the benefit is your enabling governments to drop bombs on women and children overseas).
@xianc78 No idea. Do you mean self-hosted or self custody wallets? I wasn't aware of any countries banning self custody wallets other than maybe the stories that have come out saying china has banned bitcoin or crypto or something like that.
I think self custody is allowed and privacy coins aren't banned so much as exchanges and the like are being harassed and threatened into not supporting them. The later is certainly the case in the US.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is facing fierce backlash from conservatives after downplaying the chilling July 13th assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally — and none other than Trump’s former spokesperson, Liz Harrington, is leading the charge.

Trump’s ’One Big, Beautiful Bill’ hangs in the balance, and with it, permanent tax cuts, extra border security funding, and other items supported by GOP voters.
Trump's full response to Walmart CFO John Rainey's warning was: "Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, 'EAT THE TARIFFS,' and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!"
