Quotes
- 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: 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.

- 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.

Operating a business means navigating risks. While some, like economic changes, are expected, others, like fraud or conflicts of interest, can strike unexpectedly, damaging trust, finances, or stability. Secretarial services and company secretaries are critical in preventing these issues. Let’s dive into their role.
Risk management is about spotting and stopping problems before they grow. Fraud—think manipulated records or external scams—and conflicts of interest, where personal interests clash with company duties, are major threats. For example, an employee might approve a contract that benefits a relative.
These risks can lead to lawsuits, lost credibility, or financial damage. A company secretary provides the expertise to manage them.
A company secretary goes beyond paperwork. They’re a linchpin of compliance, transparency, and ethics. Their risk management contributions include:
A forward-thinking company secretary keeps risks in check.
Fraud often lurks in small details—a fake expense or a ghost supplier. Secretarial services fight it with:
Secretarial services make fraud harder to hide.
Conflicts of interest, like a manager favoring a friend’s firm without disclosure, can undermine trust. A company secretary tackles them by:
Their neutrality safeguards the company’s integrity.
See how secretarial services and company secretaries deliver:
A company noticed odd payments. The company secretary traced them to a fictitious vendor, halting the fraud and strengthening processes.
A board member pushed a supplier they co-owned. The company secretary caught it, ensuring recusal and a fair process.
These examples highlight the power of oversight.
To maximize secretarial services:
Collaboration is key to managing risks.
Fraud and conflicts of interest are persistent challenges, but company secretarial services and company secretaries are your partners in tackling them. Their expertise strengthens your business, often behind the scenes. Embracing these services isn’t just about dodging trouble—it’s about fostering a more ethical, resilient company.
Start leveraging secretarial services today.
Corporate secretarial services are an integral part of business management and compliance, particularly in the context of corporate secretarial services in Singapore.Entrust Public Accounting

« Les chars de Gédéon »... Un nouveau nom biblique pour une nouvelle opération militaire !
Qu'en a dit le correspondant militaire de Maariv ?
Avi Ashkenazi a écrit ce matin :
La guerre qui a débuté le 7 octobre 2023 bat chaque jour de nouveaux records, de sa durée à l'ampleur des forces nécessaires à l'effort de guerre. Et maintenant, un nouveau record est tombé : le nombre de noms donnés aux guerres et aux opérations : la Guerre des Sept Fronts, la Guerre de la Résurrection, la Guerre des Épées de Fer, la Guerre d'Octobre, l'Opération Flèche du Nord, l'Opération Bâtard et Épée, et hier, nous avons reçu un nouveau nom : l'Opération Chariots de Gédéon. À en juger par le nombre de noms, nous aurions dû gagner cette bataille sans fin depuis longtemps. Avec ce nouveau nom, les objectifs fixés par le cabinet restent les mêmes : (la maîtrise décisive du Hamas à Gaza et la libération de tous les otages).
Et à propos du résultat, il a dit :
Il n'existe en réalité aucun consensus politique quant aux résultats souhaités. Les forces armées n'ont pas de plan clair quant à ce qui leur est réellement demandé. Ce qui existe : des slogans creux, porteurs de la vision messianique de ministres extrémistes au sein du gouvernement, qui tentent d'imposer leur doctrine (le Grand Israël) à Israël. (Je termine).
C'est leur histoire... menée par un groupe extrémiste fou pour commettre des erreurs, jusqu'à atteindre la fin... la fin pour laquelle le « déluge » a donné le coup d'envoi.

Six soldiers were killed and another missing after an attack last Sunday by the FARC splinter group, the EMBF (General Staff of FARC Blocs and Fronts). This guerrilla group, led by Alexander Diaz, alias “Calarca,” claimed responsibility for the attack and produced a video showing guerrillas treating five captured soldiers after the attack in Guaviare province. The EMBF added that it acted in self-defense and was under constant attack from the army, despite ongoing peace negotiations with the government of President Gustavo Petro. The EMBF is a split from the largest FARC dissident organization, the EMC (Central Staff of the FARC). The disagreement centered on peace talks, including a ceasefire with the security forces.
For their part, commanders of the EMBF’s 33rd Catatumbo Front have agreed to concentrate their guerrillas in northeastern Colombia as part of peace negotiations with the government. The agreement to concentrate these fighters in a Temporary Regroupment Zone (ZRT) outside the town of Tibu was made public by President Gustavo Petro yesterday, Saturday. Once established, the ZRT will be protected by security forces, and the institutions will participate in the agreed territorial transformations. Residents of the Catatumbo region will also participate in the peace process, according to the agreement. Talks with the EMBF guerrillas in Catatumbo have apparently accelerated following the ELN offensive launched against them since January.

On 2008-05-18 15:49:33, the father of the #Fediverse and creator of #ActivityPub, Evan Prodromou, sent the first ever message in what was later called the "Fediverse" social network (not Mastodon® social network).
Here is the archived post: This is my first post.
The network never went down. From the first protocol, OpenMicroBlogging, it switched to the protocol OStatus (also by Evan), then to ActivityPub as most know it today. It's exactly the same social network since 2008!
Happy 17th Year Anniversary Fediverse network!

Yeah.
Although there were already discussions about it as early as 2005 (and earlier), Loic and company had been hosting a Web3 conference in France ("Le Web3") for a few years back then. (The real Web3, not the crypto-Web3. < this is why many, if not most, Fediverse devs don't like crypto, the crypto enthusiasts stole "Web3")
The discussions revolved around: #LinkedData #SemanticWeb #SocialWeb and Federation. It was how Web2 was actually envisioned by Tim, father of WWW, to be a federated social network but big corps took over and Web2 became closed social networks.
Lastly, the first approaches were through tech that existing networks were encouraged to implement. For example, few people remember the "Open Social" set of technologies. The SNS platforms who applied Open Social were Hi5 and Google+ to mention two.
In addition, before the #Bluesky "Open Social"—to promote #ATproto —there already was an #OpenSocial. Before the current Social Web came to be, the label was already being used in the early 2000s for similar purposes but larger and more inclusive.
(Note: trying to remember things from back then)
UPDATE from @drspod@lemmy.ml
Although there were already discussions about it as early as 2005 (and earlier), Loic and company had been hosting a Web3 conference in France (“Le Web3”) for a few years back then. (The real Web3, not the crypto-Web3. < this is why many, if not most, Fediverse devs don’t like crypto, the crypto enthusiasts stole “Web3”)I think you've retconned a little bit here. LeWeb3 was named as a sequel to the previous conference which was called LeBlogs2. Remember, at that time Web 2.0 hadn't really taken off yet - browsers had only just implemented the XMLHTTPRequest API - so it wouldn't have made sense to already be talking about Web 3.0.
Here is an original document containing some history of LeWeb3: web.archive.org/web/2007070405…

Yep!
Laconica was renamed to StatusNet. Then later when Evan started working on PumpIO, he agreed to have it transferred to GNU. GNU then later merged StatusNet with another project and called it GNU Social.
There are still GNU Social instances around, but they are still running on the OStatus protocol. IIRC, there was work to implement ActivityPub in it but it seems it wasn't finished. Other than that, GNU Social instances are still around.
The network never went down.
You say that but, everything I ever posted on identica (and also on Evan's later OStatus site Status.Net, which i was a paying customer of) went 404 just a few years later. 😢
When StatusNet shut down I was offered a MySQL dump, which is better than nothing for personal archival but not actually useful for setting up a new instance due to OStatus having DNS-based identity and lacking any concept for migrating to a new domain.
identi.ca/evan/note/6EZ4Jzp5RQ… notes that Evan's own first post is "still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that." ... but for whatever reason he decided that most accounts (those inactive over a year, iiuc, which I was because I had moved to using StatusNet instead of identica) weren't worthy of migrating to his new pump.io architecture at all.
Here is some reporting about it from 2013: lwn.net/Articles/544347/
As an added bonus, to the extent that I can find some of my posts on archive.org, links in them were all automatically replaced (it was the style at the time) with redirects via Evan's URL shortening service ur1.ca which is also now long-dead.
imo the deletion of most of the content in the proto-fediverse (PubSubHubbubiverse? 😂) was an enormous loss; I and many other people had years of great discussions on these sites which I wish we could revisit today.
The fact that ActivityPub now is still a thing where people must (be a sysadmin or) pick someone else's domain to marry their online identity to is even more sad. ActivityPub desperately needs to become content addressable and decouple identity from other responsibilities. This experiment (which i learned of via this post) from six years ago seemed like a huge step in the right direction, but I don't know if anyone is really working on solving these problems currently. 😢

Quotes
- 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.
- Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
- Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
- Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
- Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
- Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
- Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
- 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.
- Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
- Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
- Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
- Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
- Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
- Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
- Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
- Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
- Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
- Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
- Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
- 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.
- Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
- Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

It's true that bread stays bread regardless of the baker's political stance. But it's not like the nazi baker is the only one in town. Just get your bread from a different baker. Bread is bread. The point of alternatives is that you can pick your source, whom you want to support. And that's what OP is suggesting.

in reply to Pamasich • • •First, criteria for what one considers a nazi are open to interpretation and nowadays the bar is ridiculously low. We have a bicycle kitchen cooperative in Croatia where almost all of us volunteers hold leftist views, but there's an occasional boomer known to say problematic stuff as a shitty joke, or a grandma shows up with her son's bicycle that has one of the many Croatian totenkopf variants which the kid put up using same protocol as Marge with a potato. We never refuse to help them. I also engaged some of them in conversation and when you get down to the bottom of their exclusionary views you often find they're decent people with good moral compass and the stupid jokes or totenkopf stickers are adopted wholesale through the media or because of a personal tragedy.
Sure, the free market will fix it, very American thinking. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Croatia is a good example because our fight for independence in the 90s saw the attempted rehabilitation of actual nazis from the 40s as freedom fighters and Croatian patriots, which means that (still, nowadays) whenever boomers have a celebration with alcohol, there'll be some singing about the superlative exploits of actual nazis. It's just the way our society currently is, it's still our society. The only way to change that is to engage with them and show them you hold a different opinion and are still a relatable human being. I have a feeling most lemmy users would just cancel their entire family if they were Croatian.

And they suggested that if they don't want to support lemmy developers they should "go back to stormfront".
There surely is an abundance of people calling other nazis just because they disagree with them.

do you really need to start fights with people that are striving for the same goal, just because you have differing opinions on other things? do you think that different political parties should never work together?
my opinion is otherwise

in reply to Lost_My_Mind • • •The idea there should be some definitive, canonical domain for the Fediverse is somewhat at odds with the core tenents of the Fediverse itself - decentralisation, and no single point of ownership or control. And on that basis, we absolutely should not care about a particular domain, or assign any level of 'specialness' to it.
I understand your worry - that some 'bad actor' could buy the domain and do something anti-Fediverse with it and mislead the public, but my response would be to simply not worry. The strength of the Fediverse is that we are diverse and unbothered by whatever nonsense some centralised platform is trying to pull. We don't have a profit motive. We don't care.
People who want to find the real Fediverse will absolutely still find us, all on their own, regardless of who owns some random domain 😀
