Hey Fedi!
I want to create a floor plan that is somewhat to scale. Is there any Linux tool I can use to make that without dedicating four weeks of my time to FreeCAD?
Please boost!! ♻️

unbekoming.substack.com/i/1598… Sample quote: "..Today this control of public health and the medical industrial complex is exercised by David Rockefeller’s protegé and eugenics advocate, Bill Gates, self-appointed czar over the WHO and world vaccines. Dr Tony Fauci, head of NIAID, dictates vaccine mandates without evidence. The fraud behind the polio virus scandal after World War II has been refined with use of computer models and other ruses today, to advance one alleged deadly virus after the other, from Covid19 to Monkeypox to HIV. As with polio, none of those has been scientifically isolated and proven to cause the diseases claimed. None.
The same tax-free Rockefeller Foundation today, posing as a philanthropic charity, is at the heart of the global medical tyranny behind covid19 and the eugenics agenda of the World Economic Forum Great Reset.
Their poliomyelitis virus model helped them create this dystopian medical tyranny. We are told, “trust the science.”

"The government fought the numbers game, then introduced the lottery.
It fought Ponzi schemes, then introduced Social Security.
It fought organized crime, then introduced the FBI, civil forfeiture, and qualified immunity.
The government doesn't fight crime.
It fights competition.
Governments all over the world committed crimes against humanity with lockdowns & coerced injections, but not a single person will go to jail. Yet, you still say, "We can't get rid of government because criminal gangs would take over!" Wake up, government is the most successful criminal gang ever because it has duped you into believing it's legitimate and necessary.
"Government is always made up of the most criminal-minded, Self-serving megalomaniac, power and money-mongering people.
GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR FRIEND"

This had me captivated for a good five minutes. I just kept watching how the patterns matched up, trying to parse out the connections in my brain.
Who knew an animation of a Rubik’s Cube and some corresponding concentric circles could be so stimulating?
I have absolutely no idea who created it. Tried to find out to no avail. (Happy to edit with a citation if someone knows.)

Σαν φύγω από αυτόν τον κόσμο
νοητά ή συνειδητά
Στη Γη που δεν πεθαίνει ποτέ
Μια επιθυμία έχω
Να βρω όλους τους μάρτυρες
Να τους φιλήσω τα κεφάλια
Να υποκλιθώ μπροστά τους
Ζητώντας ταπεινά συγγνώμη
Απ’ τα μωρά που δεν έγιναν παιδιά
Απ’ τα παιδιά που δεν έγιναν έφηβοι
Απ’ τις γυναίκες που δεν πρόλαβαν να χαρούν το φως της ζωής
Απ’ τους άντρες που δεν πρόλαβαν να αγκαλιάσουν τους αγαπημένους τους
Να τους πω συγγνώμη εκ μέρους της ανθρωπότητας
Υπήρξαμε λίγοι
Σιωπήσαμε
Αργήσαμε
Συγγνώμη που δεν μπορώ να πω
“Κάναμε ο,τι μπορούσαμε”
Συγγνώμη που δεν μπορώ να πω
“Ποτέ ξανά πια”

Does anyone know what happened to #creativeCommons #france ? It looks like someone took over their domain - and I can't see many French resources on CC outside of some FAQs on the main page.
do you have any French-language interviews / essays about different Creative Commons licenses? I might be searching wrong, but I found only English texts from you - and FramaSoft is mostly talking about software, not Open Culture.
I saw peppercarrot.com/fr/philosophy… from you.

In text, that's probably the main page up to date.
I often talk about it in interviews and conferences. Maybe there is still somewhere (Ytb? Peertube?) a record of the talk I gave for Libre Planet about the problem of proprietary fan-arts , mainly ones made about non-free culture.

At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.”
It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all.
Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society.
As @pluralistic often writes, group problems need group solutions.

The libertarian billionaires carping about "self-sufficiency" and "individualism" are all hypocrites.
Billionaires fund malign influence campaigns deliberately to erode trust in groups, undermine group actions, and torpedo the functioning of democracy.
They purposely manipulate public sentiment towards "easy to fail & frustrate" individualism.

Most are tax-evading sleazebags who freely take government subsidies, tax cuts, and bailout money with lightning fast readiness whenever there's a crisis.
Hugely profitable oil refineries still taking tax breaks 50 years after the 1973 OPEC Oil Embargo; that's just one example.
As MLK Jr wrote "This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor."
Rugged individualism is too often a lie encouraged by the privileged.

I self host too and I also host other people. However, I don't do as much of it as I used to. Hosting other people is a huge headache so I let that business fade out.
I never made a serious effort to grow my #hosting service. It ran it as a social enterprise.
I didn't just offer good hosting to them, I also offered them support and advice they could trust. That kind of service is something that I should have valued more and priced in a way that was more fair to me.
Offering artisanal hosting run by an expert who knows you, your site, and your goals is something I wish I had more time to do. I'd love to see other people build a business from this model. My advice is to be sure to price it fairly to yourself and clearly explain the value you are providing.

If you have always wanted to do a talk, or if you feel that security conferences don't seem to provide you with the content you'd like to see in the world, I encourage you to apply.
The CFP process is very open and it is a very supportive community to learn to present.
The talk structure is also a lot of fun - having a fraction devoted to personal hobbies keeps things fresh.
