the fact that Devuan tweeted support of #Xlibre makes me never want to suggest this distro ever again.

and the fact that Artix already excitedly made an experimental ISO with Xlibre means I'm going to have to put BSD back on my laptop, if not Alpine. jfc.

PKK Burns Weapons in Bid for Integration Into Reactionary States

Following a call from PKK leader, Abdullah Öcalan, to lay down its arms, the PKK held a disarmament ceremony in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) on July 11th.

Besê Hozat, co-chair of the KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council, led the group of 15 male and 15 female guerrillas who burned their weapons and belts.

Speaking at the historic ceremony, Besê Hozat said: “We are taking this step in response to Leader Apo’s call, the February 27 call, and the decisions of the PKK’s 12th Congress.”

Kurdish militants want to return to Turkey and enter mainstream politics, one of the PKK’s joint leaders told AFP on Friday after the group’s fighters began destroying their arms at the ceremony.

Speaking to AFP after handing in her own weapon alongside 29 of her comrades, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party’s top female commander Bese Hozat said if Turkey were willing, the disarmament process could be completed very quickly.

But the 47-year-old militant also warned the fragile peace process risked being derailed if Ankara fails to free the PKK’s jailed founder Abdullah Ocalan, also known as ‘Apo’ — Kurdish for ‘uncle’.

“If Apo were freed tomorrow and… Turkey made legal and constitutional arrangements the next day, within a week we could return to engage” in bourgeois state politics, she said of a process which Ankara expects to last for months.

Hozat said it was essential Turkey put in place mechanisms to allow them to return without fear of prosecution or reprisal.

“We do not want to wage armed struggle against Turkey, we want to come to Turkey and do democratic politics. In order for us… to achieve democratic integration with Turkey, it is imperative we can freely travel to Turkey,” she said.

“If Turkey takes concrete steps, enacts laws and implements radical legal reforms… we will go to Turkey and engage in politics. If (not)… we will end up either in prison or being killed.”

Asked whether she now expected Turkey and its Western allies to remove the PKK from their blacklists of terrorist organisations, Hozat said the issue was irrelevant.

“Right now, the PKK no longer exists, we’ve dissolved it. We are a freedom movement.. advocating for peace and a democratic society.

“The PKK has achieved its main goal: the existence of the Kurds has been recognised.”

The PKK dissolution represents a severe turning point for internationalist politics, as the organization that permitted revolutionary collusion in the region speed walks its way into collaborationist politics.

Democratic integration into Turkish politics is essentially an oxymoron as class politics and reactionary parties dominate the state.

Furthermore, the PKK’s posture in Syria has also drifted into collaboration as the new regime continues its massacres and clearly settles into a riole as a gendarme for US and Zionist imperial schemes. The PKK’s attempt to join this regime is damning, even if minor concessions are wrangled out in the negotations.

#nsfw guardando la #pioggia!

I discovered an anti-corpo lifehack and tbh I think its a pretty great one!

So you know those annoying "sign up for our free trial" sites that basically "forget" to notify you that you need to cancel and try to get you for like 10,000 years of subscriptions?

I found a way to counter.

I use a lot of cash purchased "nonreloadable" credit cards bc I'm trying to counterpunch with privacy, okay? Last night I was signing up for a free trial of a thing and I didn't have a disposable card avail that would cover the "post trial" cost.

So... I used one of the many leftover cards I have with like, less than five dollars on them for a "two hundred after trial" thing.

Aaaaaaand it worked.

So basically:
- I used a throwaway email
- I used a 'paid in cash' card to secure my trial
- There's literally no way they can really charge me unless I decide I want to continue.

Obv this only works if they take gift card style credit cards (the ones I use only work for US based payment processing annoyingly) and you need to be able to like, GET one but yeah.

Fuck corpo scams!

URGENT MUTUAL AID - $0/175

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I am in need of some help.

I am a trans nonbinary disabled neurodivergent individual (ME/CFS) who is unable to work. I have not yet been able to get disability, so until I do get it, I'm in need of some help.

I don't get my EBT benefits until Wednesday, and we have a heat wave coming this week, and I need to get some foods that don't require heating so I can avoid using the stove and microwave. In addition, I need to get some more cat food/cat litter and personal care/hygiene items.

Help is much appreciated.
