RI Zap of May 23, 2025: March to Gaza – Humanity put to the test en.reseauinternational.net/ri-…

Le député conservateur britannique Mark Pritchard, s'exprimant à la Chambre des communes : « J'ai eu tort toutes ces années de soutenir Israël... Je voudrais retirer mon soutien maintenant, et je condamne ce qu'Israël fait au peuple de Gaza. »

De telles déclarations sont plus dangereuses pour Israël que les missiles, car elles détruisent un faux récit construit depuis plus de sept décennies !

They are ruthless criminals, they don't even spare the children.

These ruthless people have been supported by the EU leaders for 19 months. ⬇️

"The enemy is NOT Hamas... EVERY CHILD in Gaza IS the ENEMY"

During a recent appearance on Israel’s Channel 14, former Knesset member Moshe Feiglin openly called for the complete genocide of Gaza, portraying the entire population — including children — as legitimate targets for annihilation.

One of Kurt Vonnegut Jr's most brilliant ideas was the concept of the granfalloon.

"A granfalloon, in the fictional religion of Bokononism (created by Kurt Vonnegut in his 1963 novel Cat's Cradle), is defined as a "false karass". That is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is meaningless."

A government or a state is an entity that is purely fiction. Propagated by indoctrination to public school and the media but who has no real legitimacy, and whose existence is mitigated by logic...(Which is why the corporate controlled media nowadays is at war with logic and critical thinking).

"The very concept that a small group of men, chosen by dubious popularity contest, have some sort of moral or ethical responsibility to use violence, coercion, extortion, and murder to press their ideas on the rest of society is not only illogical, it is immoral and criminally insane." -Gary Williams

Politis a trouvé de l’argent magique !

politis.fr/articles/2025/05/ec…

À l’aide de nombreux travaux d’économistes, Politis recense cinq mesures qui permettraient de trouver plus de 50 milliards d’euros par an. Davantage que le montant recherché par François Bayrou. Un bonus exceptionnel – pour seulement un an – rapporterait 100 milliards d’euros additionnels.

L'excellent blog « Rail du Sud » retrace l'histoire du #tramway toulonnais et les tourments politiques qui l'entourent.

Sans jamais hésiter à entrer dans le détail, le blog dresse un petit état des lieux qui met en lumière l'absurdité du choix d'un B«H»NS à Toulon.

On espère que la prédiction des mobilités qui vont « enflammer les esprits durant la campagne des prochaines élections municipales » se réalisera. À lire!

A system is what it does.

Si tienes una instancia "flagship" que tiene la mayoría de usuarios de tu plataforma significa que tu sistema federado no incentiva lo suficiente la descentralización.

Si encima tu instancia flagship se excusa en el antisemitismo para acallar a personas que denuncian un genocidio, la cosa se pone más compleja.

@aral mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114562015…


Admin of todon.nl suggests, and rightly so, that the default/flagship Mastodon instance (isn’t decentralisation great?) be moved to a more neutral jurisdiction than Germany:

“Herewith the urgent request to move the Mastodon server presented to new users as the default (mastodon.social) to a more neutral jurisdiction (e.g. Switzerland). An alternative is to set up a new Mastodon server in a more neutral jurisdiction, which can then serve as a new flagship server.

The trigger for this is the regular negative moderation of people who speak out against the largest and bloodiest genocide of our time, the one in Palestine. In particular they use (or abuse, how you want to look at it) of a German law that seeks to counter so-called Holocaust reversal. With hiding behind this law, the moderators of mastodon.social (and especially its owner) are also unwittingly sitting in the chair of the (German) judge.

Apart from the fact that one local law should not affect the entire Mastodon project, the question is whether this law and the concept of Holocaust reversal are legally tenable in an international context.”

Mastodon mod closes the ticket after stating “There is no current plan to make changes to the Mastodon instances operated by Mastodon gGmbH. People are free to choose any Mastodon server when signing up for the platform.”

And this (see screenshot) is what that “choice” looks like.

This decentralisation anti-pattern – along with the fact that they didn’t close registrations after hitting a certain size to create a social precedent and allow distribution to other servers (as I advised Eugen to do back in the day) – is why there is a flagship instance to begin with when it’s an absolute contradiction of terms in a system that purports to be decentralised.

Recent disruptive changes from Setuptools


Discussing a breaking change in Python's setuptools.

The really interesting part is in the discussion section.... and it shows once more how incredibly well-designed the GNU Guix package manager is -- which solves these problems very very well, for arbitrary languages and with a fast growing distribution of, by now, about 50,000 packages.

in reply to WalnutLum

Guix is really making fantastic progress and is a good alternative in the space between stable and fully FOSS distributions, likes Debian, and distributions which are more up-to-date, like Arch.

And one interesting thing is that the number of packages is now so large that one can frequently install additional more recent packages on a Debian systems, or ones that are not packaged by Debian.

For example, I run Debian stable as base system, Guix as extra package manager (and Arch in a VM for trying out latest software for programming).

The thing is now Guix often provides more recent packages tham Debian, like many Rust command line tools, where Debian is lagging a bit. There are many interesting ones, and most are recent because Rust is progressing so fast. Using Guix, I can install them without using the language package manager, regardless whether iy is written in Rust, Go, or Python 3.13.

Or, today I read an article about improvements in spaced repetition learning algorithms. It mentioned that the FLOSS software Anki provided it, and I became curious and wanted to have a look at Anki. Well, Debian has no "anki" package - and it is written, among other languages, im Python and Rust, so good luck getting it on Debian stable. But for Guix, I only had to do "guix install anki" and had it installed.

This works a tad slower than apt-get ... but it still saves time compared to installing stuff and dependencies manually.
