I can’t wait until later this afternoon when the entire internet becomes experts on India and Pakistan.

Scripture Reading
Romans 6:8-11
We believe that having died with Christ we shall return to life with him: Christ, as we know, having been raised from the dead will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. When he died, he died, once for all, to sin, so his life now is life with God; and in that way, you too must consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus.

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.

Peut-on imaginer un futur sans capitalisme ?
Rejoignez-nous, devenez sociétaire : blast-info.fr/devenir-societai…
“Il est plus facile d’imaginer la fin du monde que la fin du capitalisme” Cette citation attribuée aux philosophes Slavoj Žižek ou Fredric Jameson, en dit long sur notre incapacité à imaginer des alternatives au système capitaliste. Pourtant de nombreux chercheurs et chercheuses le répètent inlassablement depuis des années, il est nécessaire de remettre en question le modèle de croissance économique infinie alors que nous vivons sur une planète finie.
Alors qu’il devient de plus en plus urgent de réinventer nos modèles économiques et que les crises s’intensifient partout dans le monde; le débat public actuel ne porte absolument pas sur la remise en question du capitalisme et de la croissance à tout prix..
Nous étions avec Blast au Festival du film et forum international sur les droits humains à Genève pour justement enfin parler d’alternatives. Comment construire une société qui respecte les limites planétaires tout en garantissant justice et équité ? À quoi pourrait ressembler une économie post croissance ? Une économie régénérative, redistributive qui assure des droits fondamentaux pour toutes et tous. En bref, un tout nouvel équilibre.
Paloma Moritz interroge ses 3 invités sur toutes ces questions et bien d’autres dans cette table ronde avec :
Olivia Lazard, chercheuse et membre de Carnegie Europe. Ses recherches se concentrent principalement sur la géopolitique du climat, la transition climatique et les risques de conflit et de vulnérabilité associés au changement climatique et à l'effondrement de la biodiversité.
Timothée Parrique, chercheur en économie écologique à l’Université de Lausanne en Suisse. Docteur en sciences économiques, spécialiste du lien entre économie, environnement et des théories post-capitalistes. Auteur de Ralentir ou périr. L’économie de la décroissance (2022) au Seuil.
Julia Steinberger, chercheuse en économie écologique à l'Université de Lausanne. Ses recherches portent sur les liens entre l'utilisation des ressources et la performance sociétale. Depuis 2023, elle co-dirige le projet "REAL - A Post-Growth Deal" sur les sociétés post-croissance. Elle est auteure principal du 6e rapport d'évaluation du GIEC au sein du groupe de travail 3.

How the Trump Shock exposed the delusions of Europe’s centrists - Yanis Varoufakis
#politics #imperialism #democracy #EU
Determined to remain wedded to America’s rentier economy, Europe’s and Britain’s elites will not deviate from current policies – not unless we overthrow them first. But for this, we need an agenda bolder than Trump’s and Farage’s and, of course, a radically humanist one – an agenda that is not fearful of radical proposals like a public green investment bank, a trust fund for everyone yielding an unconditional personal income, the termination of all quasi-energy markets, the socialisation of housing and, last but not least, a surge in corporations practising one-employee-one-member-one-vote.

Grâce aux efforts de tous, le chaos s’installe gentiment
Réflexions décousues et Crêpes au sucre
Au moins la France peut-elle s’enorgueillir d’avoir, outre des paysages magnifiques, une situation sociale très… fluide, qui évolue de plus en plus vite. Ce qui est un événement hallucinant un mois donné devient un fait divers cocasse le mois suivant et passe dans la routine le mois d’après.
Tenez, prenez par exemple cette amusante histoire du déplacement forcé d’une école primaire à cause de trafics de drogue un peu trop frétillants autour d’elle : il y a un mois de cela, début avril, les parents d’élèves votaient courageusement pour que l’établissement de Saint-Ouen déménage loin de sa localisation actuelle, cette dernière étant devenue – fortuitement il semblerait, à lire les médias et les autorités – un point majeur de deal de drogue.
Au début du mois d’avril, certains citoyens – un peu vifs et pas encore affranchis des us et coutumes françaises – pouvaient s’étonner que les autorités locales choisissent cette solution en lieu et place d’un nettoyage musclé de la racaille environnante. Mais avec l’expérience et le temps qui passe, le mois suivant, ces mêmes citoyens trouveront certainement cette réorganisation scolaire relativement normale.
Il suffit en effet de parcourir la presse locale ou régionale pour découvrir ces petites pépites qui forment la substantifique moelle du Vivrensemble dont nos fines élites nous rebattent les oreilles à longueur de journées.
Et si l’on se souvient récemment des festivités contre les prisons françaises dont tout indique à présent qu’il s’agissait essentiellement d’une opération de marketing musclée de la part des gangs marseillais de trafic de drogue, on découvre que les festivités s’étendent jusqu’à Montpellier où des narcotrafiquants ont mis un contrat sur la tête du maire et président socialiste de la métropole, Michaël Delafosse. Apparemment, le fait que notre homme ait décidé de muscler les contrôles dans les stupéfiantes boutiques de ces braves commerçants joue quelque peu dans ce rebondissement montpellierain : les trafiquants du Sud sont taquins et n’aiment pas trop que les autorités leur soufflent sur la nuque, que voulez-vous.
Du reste, ce qui est vrai à Montpellier et à Saint-Ouen semble tout aussi à Bagnols-sur-Cèze ou des lycéens et leur professeur de sport ont été calmement menacés de mort pendant leur cours de sport par des vendeurs de drogue installés pas trop loin : les enquiquinants élèves faisaient trop de bruit à proximité de leur point de deal. Réfugiés dans les vestiaires, ils ont été obligés d’y attendre les forces de l’ordre afin de pouvoir sortir et rejoindre leur lycée.
Bref, la France de nos villes et de nos campagnes apprend petit-à-petit à vivre en harmonie avec les gangs de racailles, les trafiquants de drogue, les go-fasts, les mariages aussi ethniques que colorés et musicalement ambiancés, et les animations pyrotechniques de plus en plus inventives, comme dernièrement, à Vigneux-Sur-Seine, où une aire de jeux pour enfants construite pour un montant de 90 000 euros a été inaugurée par un petit incendie multiculturel, fraternel et cohésif.
Cette nouvelle ambiance, dont les prémisses remontent bien évidemment à plusieurs décennies, semble maintenant se répandre et s’affirmer un peu partout en France. Jadis cantonnée aux riants quartiers sensibles et émotifs, l’ambiance gagne du terrain dans nos petites villes, nos campagnes, nos villages mêmes.
On pourrait y voir un miracle de l’intégration (même si le sens de cette intégration n’est probablement pas celui imaginé par les tenants de ce concept à son introduction, dans les années 70 et 80), et on pourrait aussi déceler une réussite directe et indirecte de nos magnifiques médias, publics et privés, dont la présentation des informations, toujours délicieusement tronquée et partiale, aura largement contribué à cet effet.
Ainsi, en prenant assez systématiquement la défense des racailles – notamment par une euphémisation olympique des faits ou des oublis répétés et souvent cruciaux de contextes aggravants – ces médias ont directement permis à ce climat général de se répandre.
De la même façon, on retrouve ce désir de baratiner l’individu chez la plupart des politiciens qui font assaut d’inventivité pour camoufler une réalité de plus en plus corrosive. L’extrême-gauche est bien sûr en tête dans la course au camouflage (comme ici par exemple), mais tout le spectre politique est atteint du même mal qui nourrit directement et indirectement le refus de l’autorité, de l’usage raisonné et compétent de la force et malheureusement, la disparition complète de toute droite articulée, cortiquée et vertébrée laisse le champ libre aux atermoiements contre les forces de l’ordre.
Enfin, le tableau ne serait pas complet sans rappeler le travail exemplaire et permanent de la magistrature : même si elle n’est pas entièrement acquise au chaos, la minorité (?) qui s’en délecte suffit amplement à garantir qu’il finira par s’installer partout d’autant plus facilement que le laxisme est maintenant devenu une véritable institution. Les exemples abondent et le dernier en date – dans lequel un patron de salon de coiffure d’Aubervilliers, qui vendait de tout y compris des armes de guerre en toute décontraction et illégalité, et n’a été condamné qu’à de la prison avec sursis – ferait presque rire si l’on oublie que ces armes sont maintenant couramment utilisées un peu partout en France pour ambiancer les soirées et les transactions mafieuses.
Bref, il apparaît de plus en plus clairement que les forces de l’ordre sont complètement dépassées en France, que ça ne semble inquiéter personne en haut lieu, que les médias s’en foutent, que les politiciens en font leur beurre et que les magistrats s’en accommodent. Or, s’il est évident que la police et la gendarmerie sont d’abord des instruments de pouvoir de l’État (ceci expliquant la répression sanglante des Gilets Jaunes par exemple), ce dernier doit, en contrepartie de ce pouvoir, garantir que ces forces seront aussi utilisées pour garantir l’ordre auprès des civils.
Ces derniers acceptent le joug étatique tant que, au moins en moyenne, c’est le cas. Cependant, dès que ce n’est plus le cas, l’ordre disparaît effectivement et les civils doivent alors s’organiser, ce qui commence à arriver de façon de plus en plus fréquente, sans même parler des « opportunités business » qui éclosent (comme ici et, à l’opposé du spectre, comme là) dans ce genre de situation délétère.
Au bilan, grâce aux efforts de tous, experts de plateaux et journalistes, politiciens, magistrats et état d’esprit déconnecté de la bourgeoisie dirigeante, le chaos s’installe gentiment dans le pays. Bien sûr, tant que ce dernier n’atteint pas les beaux quartiers, l’élite croit comprendre et agir comme il le faut, au moins pour ses propres intérêts.
Cependant, inévitablement et comme à chaque fois dans l’Histoire, lorsque le chaos les atteindra, il sera trop tard pour eux comme pour tout le monde.
Ce pays est foutu.

Name it anything you want, I go with names like “glasses” and “no-glasses” since…I wear glasses. Some random person on GitHub with a multi-monitor setup has it set to looking at different monitors. Whatever you want, doesn’t really matter.
You can use sudo howdy test to check if it works. A red outline means it’s an unrecognised face, a green outline with the name means it is a recognises face. no outline means not a face. Also check that whether it is a “dark frame” or not vs a “scan frame”. You might need to set the dark threshold higher using config. (this was an issue I faced as well, for me 80 works)

Lenin: Throughout the civilized world, the teachings of Marx evoke the utmost hostility and hatred of all bourgeois science... And no other attitude is to be expected, for there can be no “impartial” social science in a society based on class struggle. In one way or another, all official and liberal science defends wage-slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on that slavery. 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.

2025 hardcore list of 17 linux distributions without elogind and other systemd parts
Posted on 20241228 by sysdfree-editor
Welcome antiX and Noir linux to the strict list, with edition 23 antiX is fully functional and lighter than ever without a trace of elogind!
Edited: December 28th 2024 (replacing older strict list)This list is going to be short and there may be a sublist of distros with a medium strict standard. We shall explain what the object is, below the short list (which we hope the community will assist in making longer as we have not been able to currently review the work of every distro and fork).
2025 list of “healthy” hardcore distros in alphabetical order with date/activity indicator (xxx)
antiX —> antixlinux.com debian fork without systemd/elogind nearly as famous and popular as Debian itself now
CarbsLinux —> carbslinux.org (Kiss fork with CPT pkg manager shinit/sinit/runit/busybox 02/2023 )
Damn Small Linux DSL —> damnsmalllinux.org ( compact Linux distribution tailored for low-spec x86 computers – fluxbox jwm)
Glasnost —> www.glasnost.org (Kiss fork – multi-arch tarballs 05/2022)
Glaucus linux –> glaucuslinux.org (active 09/2023)
Hyperbola Linux —> hyperbola.info A libre gnu-linux distro like debian with pacman, or arch but stable as debian in transition to a BSD system – so it will be removed again (active 09/2023)
Iglunix Linux —> github.com/iglunix/iglunix/rel… iglunix.xyz. (musl busybox no-gnu + alt kernels + wayland NoX) (active 09/2023)
Joborun Linux —> pozol.eu/joborun Arch based w/o systemd building env runit (default) (active 12/2024)
Kiss Linux –> kisslinux.org independent from community influence (dormant for quite some time) (neglected but still a strong base to start something new)
Kwort Linux –> kwort.org (active 09/2023)
Mere Linux —> merelinux.org (alpha project – active 1/2023 Musl + pacman – it boots now!)
Milis linux (LFS based) —> milislinux.gitlab.io/en/ (mostly in Turkish – unsure of contents but demanded by community)
NOIR linux –> github.com/noirlinux a promising kiss-linux fork with a more aumated building system (may 2023)
Oasislinux –> oasislinux/oasis (active 09/2023)
Obarun Linux –> obarun.org (the most extensive general use distribution that meets the criteria) (active 09/2023)
PCLinuxOS —> pclinuxos.com a long term distro with wide variety of ready made sw without elogind or systemd
Sabotage Linux –> sabotage-linux (most inspiring commitments and goals) (active 09/2023)tive 09/2023)
Venom Linux —> venomlinux.org (forked from LFS – glibc now with runit – active 9/23)
recently removed:
Superboxon Linux –> superboxon.com Slackware based BSD type init, no elogind,PAM (ac
Mutiny linux –> mutiny.red site vanished/downPlease keep the recommendations going, for inclusion and exclusion from the list. We can not keep and maintain installations for all of them, we count on you.
Hardcore because they seem honest and dedicated to the war against totalitarianism by IBM and other mega corporations to dominate the Open and Free software world.
Basically, after some odd experiences with Nutyx and its full turn into systemd-dom, basic functionality of starting X , such as vte terminals, filemanagers (thunar and pcmanfm) was impossible. Why was it impossible? Because they REQUIRE elogind and dbus to be running in order for them to start. So off this site any further mention of Nutyx.
If such development spreads there has to be a differentiation between distros that include such crap like elogind, for obvious and overly discussed reasons, and DO NOT make their use necessary everywhere that there is no absolute need, to make it necessary. In other words, there seems to be a new trend from utilizing elogind to accommodate needs of upstream desktop dependencies, but some distros go out of their way to enforce the use of elogind EVERYWHERE THEY CAN!
There is a qualitative difference between drinking socially, a cocktail, a beer or two, some wine while dining with friends and comrades, AND being a full blown alcoholic where the first thing you do when opening your eyes, is to reach next to your couch, where you slept with your shoes on, and grab the bottle of 151′ proof rum to rinse your mouth, then swallow the mouthwash. HUGE difference!
….. and such madness was listed as systemd free linux on our long list! No more, that old list will remain to reflect the wide variety of Pid1 switchers.
In light of recent development and discovery of such development, seatd comes to compliment consolekit2 to replicate the functionality of elogind. Its use in Obarun made starting wayland and sway successful. The same developer who wrote seatd has also written greetd, a display manager that is wayland compliant without using elogind/systemd. So the common excuse “we use elogind for wayland” has run out, while with the last edition of ck2 (12/2020 note: there have been later updates to this one) the excuse of it being unmaintained is also fading. People in the BSD ecosystem are contributing plenty of development for ck2.
The difference between elogind and (ck2-seatd) is size and complexity, and it is counted in multiples. So for those who follow unix tradition of simplicity, single use, compliance with everything else, the way to go is clear.
Another proposal
What will now be a proposed as a medium strictness list? Where distros choose to make elogind available, but not absolutely necessary for all X software.
We want to believe that all forms of adelie, antiX, alpine, and Void are still healthy, we are unsure of Artix, but we will investigate and take your recommendations and suggestions as they come. Our last attempts to start X on artix without elogind were futile, but we may be wrong.
The screen is/will be:
Can X be started without elogind?
Can the most popular WMs start within that X session without elogind?
Can basic common terminals and file-managers start without elogind?
Can common file-managers work without automounting devices?
We can repeat this process with dbus, and there are situations where things start and run fine, even though they may throw some warning and errors for not accessing a running dbus channel, while being 90+% functional, and situations where they lose basic functionality. Like LibreOffice has the entire prime menu bar (File Edit View … Help) missing when started without a live dbus session, while a ton of their other icon intense menu bars work.
Medium strict list:
adelie adelie.pkgs.org
alpine alpinelinux.org
artix artixlinux.org
TinyCore Linux tinycorelinux.net (simply amazing size and functionality – elogind is present and available but not necessarily used)
void voidlinux.org
Help us fill the blanks here or remove the sick ones if you have direct current experience.
Edit Dec. 30th 2020
This (Slackware & forks) was meant to be yesterday on the list, it is now removed, sadly. It seemed to have been a nice system we neglected over the past few years. Ever since Dec 7th 2020 it passed on the other side of one of the many distros succumbing to the pressure, biting the bait, hook, line, and sinkers.
5 Slackware –> (Zenwalk and Slackel are currently reviewed, no elogind found anywhere, ck2 seems available – specific reviews are coming shortly – that is not to say that all slackware forks will adopt or maintain this commitment, and there are many many of them)
Spoke too soon, there is more elogind enforcement in Slackware than there is in Fedora!

everything being economic that is
Yeah, oh how that infuriates. The outrageously dangerous myopic-blinkered reductive conflation, a seemingly wilful ignorance that opens the doors to all manner of authoritarians to usurp with their centralised council or tyrant.
If only Marx had listened to Bakunin, more than Engels. ... And all Marxists too, heed bakunin's warning, now with added historical weight: "We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality." --Mikhail Bakunin
Much better than "well then we'll make them free" oxymoronic'ness of "communism" (as in the totalitarian's gutted and popularised use of a term originally coined by anarchists... but some people get headspun by the economics-only delusion, missing that totalitarianism is not anarchism... )
Okay, Ima stop before I write a bookload of rant on that. SO INFURIATING. ... The damage, historical, noospherical, ongoing, ... rRrRrrRrrRRRRGH! [ "to their comfort level," ... Maybe it'd infuriate me less if I remember it's a psychological protective maladaption... ]
Freedom first.
Engels was a true materialist, but couldn't escape Marx's economism.
The core idealism in Marxism stems on being individualistic and wanting a concrete theory and doctrine to appeal to the individual, ideologically, then once convinced follow/serve the "party". It is an on/off switch, you buy the idea then engage in the centralized direction of activism. Then they speak of class consciousness also as an individualist. Then they expect the managerial class of experts to develop a consciousness contradicting their own personal interests.
They even make the leap to conclude that capitalists and pro-capitalism individuals are convinced of an ideology supporting capitalism. Capitalism came to be, its evolving ideology and pseudo theory came after the fact. They just fabricated a dress to cover the monster. Marx expects to fabricate a different dress and expects some monster to appear and fit right into it.
Social relations, in particular exchange, are part of material conditions, it is not all production and consumption. Being oppressed is just as bad as being exploited, whether it is the boss at work, the teacher, the cop, the parent, the man, the white man, the husband or mother in law, what you experience is part of those material conditions. It is likely that the wealthier you are the milder the oppression, tell that to the abused wife or child, to the mistreated elderly, to the ethnic/reli/nati/racial minority ...
Material conditions, including social, provide people with enough motivation to want things changed, and the realization they must act collectively towards change is not far. If a certain ideology, theory results from collective action, then fine. But don't start at the wrong end of the pipeline.
But if you read capital book2 chapter 3 Karl explains ... The working class has either kept away or followed total idiots for a century and a half reducing everything to economic terms. The working class keeps falling victim of its own silly vanguard that can only reform capitalism to state owned capitalists.

La rapporteure des Nations Unies pour les territoires palestiniens occupés, vient d’accuser les responsables de l’UE, dont la présidente de la Commission européenne Ursula von der Leyen, de complicité de crimes de guerre et crimes contre l’humanité pour leur soutien à Israël dans son génocide à Gaza.
« Je ne suis pas quelqu’un qui dit : L’histoire les jugera – ils devront être jugés avant cette date. Et ils devront comprendre que l’immunité ne peut être assimilée à l’impunité » , a déclaré Francesca Albanese dans une interview à Intercept.
Une plainte contre le Leyen, le président de la Commission européenne, a été déposée devant la Cour pénale internationale en mai dernier pour complicité de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l’humanité à Gaza. Il ne faut pas en rester là.
Au-delà de l’obligation de rendre des comptes concernant les dirigeants de l’UE, Francesca Albanese a indiqué qu’elle travaillait sur un rapport qui exposerait les banques, les fonds de pension, les entreprises de technologie et les universités pour complicité dans la destruction de Gaza.
« Toutes les personnes impliquées dans l’occupation illégale, en lui fournissant un appui, aident et encouragent les violations du droit international et les violations des droits de l’homme, et un certain nombre d’entre elles constituent des crimes », a-t-elle déclaré.
« Il peut y avoir une responsabilité individuelle pour ceux qui ont aidé et encouragé ou rendu possible ces crimes », a affirmé courageusement la rapporteure des Nations Unies qu’Israël n’a toujours pas réussi à dégommer, et qui fait face à des menaces de mort.
« Ma sécurité est devenue moins sûre depuis que j’ai présenté mon rapport « Anatomie du génocide », a déclaré Francesca Albanese. « J’ai reçu des appels au milieu de la nuit pour moi, les membres de ma famille, mes enfants. Bien sûr, je prends des précautions, j’ai une protection. Mais en même temps, je ne me laisserai pas paralyser à cause de ces techniques de type mafieux ».
« Je viens d’un endroit qui m’a appris que la mafia tue par silence », a-t-elle déclaré. « Il tue quand les gens ne réagissent pas. C’est pourquoi je suis tellement motivée dans ce que je fais et je continuerai », a conclu la rapporteure de l’ONU.

Emmanuel Florac reshared this.
The UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories has just accused EU officials, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, of complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity for their support of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
"I'm not someone who says: 'History will judge them—they must be judged before then. And they must understand that immunity cannot be equated with impunity," Francesca Albanese said in an interview with the Intercept.
A complaint against von der Leyen, the European Commission President, was filed with the International Criminal Court last May for complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. It must not stop there.
Beyond holding EU leaders to account, Francesca Albanese indicated that she was working on a report that would expose banks, pension funds, technology companies, and universities for complicity in the destruction of Gaza.
"All those involved in the illegal occupation, by providing support to it, are aiding and abetting violations of international law and human rights abuses, and several of these constitute crimes," she said.
"There can be individual accountability for those who aided and abetted or enabled these crimes," courageously asserted the UN rapporteur, whom Israel has still not managed to oust and who is facing death threats.
"My safety has become less secure since I presented my report, 'Anatomy of Genocide,'" said Francesca Albanese. "I have received calls in the middle of the night for myself, my family members, my children. Of course, I take precautions, I have protection. But at the same time, I won't let myself be paralyzed by these mafia-style techniques."
"I come from a place that taught me that the mafia kills by silence," she said. "It kills when people don't react. That's why I'm so motivated in what I do and I will continue," the UN rapporteur concluded.

Mahmoud's words are wise but grammar/gender should change, some day, if not today hopefully soon. In Israel ALL women and men must serve a minimum sentence in the military and receive retraining all the way to their 40s.
Really, as long as there is inequality there will be armies protecting it, and being in the army is not as bad as being in "the wrong army"

WordPress Themes: Unlocking Style and Speed
WordPress is a go-to platform for websites, but a theme’s true strength lies in how you customize and optimize it. Whether you’re a web designer or working with web design services, getting this right delivers a site that’s both eye-catching and lightning-fast.
Here’s your guide to making it happen.
What Makes a WordPress Theme?
A theme sets your site’s visual vibe—layouts, fonts, colors, and more. Some are sleek and minimal; others are packed with features you might not use.
The downside? A heavy theme can slow your site or restrict design tweaks. Smart theme selection and optimization are critical for a site that performs.
Step 1: Start with a Lightweight Theme
Your theme’s code drives performance. A bloated theme with extras like sliders or animations can drag even the best hosting down.
Look for themes with:
- Clean, efficient code
- Minimal or no bundled plugins
- Fast demo load times
- Simple, flexible design
Try themes like GeneratePress, Neve, or Hello Elementor for speed and versatility.
Step 2: Customize with Precision
Customization lets you craft a unique site, but overcomplicating things can hurt speed.
Focus on:
- Colors and typography: Use a consistent look with one or two fonts.
- Layout tweaks: Stick to theme settings to avoid heavy builders.
- Header/footer: Include only essentials like your logo and menu.
- Homepage: Design for user goals, not visual overload.
When partnering with a web designer, avoid vague asks like “make it pop.” Be clear about what your site needs to do.
Step 3: Eliminate Bloat
Themes often come with features like portfolio grids or testimonial sliders. If they’re not essential, disable or remove them to reduce code.
Same for plugins—install only what you need. A leaner site loads faster.
Step 4: Prioritize Mobile Performance
With mobile users dominating traffic, your theme must excel on smaller screens.
Check for:
- Smooth, responsive navigation
- Tap-friendly buttons
- Clear text
- Fast load times on mobile networks
Web design services should emphasize mobile-first design, but always verify their work.
Step 5: Boost Site Speed
A fast site keeps visitors and improves SEO. Use these strategies:
- Caching: Plugins like WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache pre-load pages for quick delivery.
- Image optimization: Compress files with tools like ShortPixel or Imagify without quality loss.
- Reduce scripts: Limit external fonts, embeds, or trackers.
- CDN: Cloudflare or BunnyCDN serves content from nearby servers.
- Minify code: Trim CSS and JavaScript with plugins or manual edits.
Step 6: Test Performance
Don’t assume your site’s fast—measure it with tools like:
- GTmetrix
- Google PageSpeed Insights
- Pingdom
Track metrics like:
- First contentful paint (FCP)
- Time to interactive (TTI)
- Total page size
- HTTP request count
Small tweaks, like compressing an image, can yield big speed gains.
Step 7: Keep Themes Lean
A theme should be the foundation, not the whole system. Use plugins for specific tasks:
- Forms (e.g., WPForms)
- E-commerce (e.g., Easy Digital Downloads)
- SEO (e.g., SEOPress)
This modular setup keeps your site flexible and easy to update.
When to Hire a Pro
If your site’s slow or looks off, a web designer can step in. They can:
- Create child themes to protect customizations
- Remove unnecessary code
- Optimize without breaking the design
- Ensure speed and SEO are solid
Choose web design services that prioritize performance over just visuals.
Final Word
WordPress themes can elevate or hinder your site. Pick a lightweight theme, customize thoughtfully, and optimize for speed.
A fast, user-focused site always beats a slow, flashy one. Test often, streamline where you can, and get help when needed.

Washington Post quotes a source: Trump “wants Gaza resolved” by the time he visits the region english.almanar.com.lb/2401071
“Steampunk is so cool, it’s kind of a shame the steam era ended.”
“It didn’t”
“Huh?”
“Nuclear power stations, heaps of factories, even coal stations use steam. The sugar cane mill near where I grew up has been running on the same steam engine for a hundred and twenty years.”
“Heh, ok I guess”
“And my watch, look, it has fold-out cooling towers!”
“Is…is that a coal fired wristwatch?”
“Eeew, no, too dangerous. Thorium and molten salt”
I love it how the steam era just never ends. From steam as turbine driver to steam as easily piped process heat, steam isn't going away soon.
Favourite bit is how gas turbines generating electricity can increase output by recovering heat from exhaust gases to drive a steam turbine – Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT). IIRC, there's an aluminium plant in WA that splits the steam between running a turbine and providing process heat, as required.

- 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.

The Purpose of Buying a Mobile Crushing Plant
The mining and aggregate industries are rapidly evolving, with growing demands for flexibility, efficiency, and fast project execution. In this dynamic environment, the mobile crushing plant has become a critical solution for producers looking to enhance productivity and reduce operational delays. Unlike stationary systems, mobile crushers can be transported directly to construction or mining sites, delivering on-site crushing capabilities that reduce the need for material hauling and processing delays.
With its increasing popularity, it's essential to understand why businesses choose a mobile stone crusher machine(maquina chancadora de piedra) and how it can impact the performance of operations involved in quarrying, road building, demolition, and concrete recycling.
Why Mobility Matters in Crushing Operations
On-Site Crushing Saves Time and Costs
A mobile stone crusher eliminates the need for long-distance transport of raw materials to fixed crushing facilities. Instead, materials such as rocks, demolition debris, and recycled concrete can be processed directly on-site. This reduces transportation costs, speeds up production, and minimizes environmental impact.
Mobile plants are particularly useful in remote locations, temporary construction sites, or projects that require short-term crushing capacity. Whether it's a mining operation or a roadwork project, these portable systems allow you to respond quickly to changing job site needs.
Easy Setup and Quick Relocation
Unlike traditional crushing systems that require significant time and infrastructure to install, mobile plants can be deployed and operational within a short period. This means companies can begin producing aggregates almost immediately upon arrival at the site.
For contractors and construction firms working under tight schedules, the mobility and rapid deployment of these plants offer an undeniable advantage.
Core Functions of a Mobile Crushing Plant
Versatile Crushing Capabilities
Most mobile stone crusher plants(planta chancadora movil) are equipped with components such as a stone crusher machine, screening unit, and conveyor system. Depending on the model and configuration, they can crush a wide range of materials including granite, limestone, concrete, and gravel.
From coarse crushing with jaw crushers to fine shaping with impact or cone crushers, mobile plants offer the flexibility to meet various project specifications. Some advanced systems even allow for quick adjustments to output size and production volume.
Ideal for Recycling and Urban Projects
Mobile crushing plants are particularly effective in urban environments or demolition sites. A concrete crusher installed on a mobile unit can process old buildings, sidewalks, and concrete slabs into reusable aggregate. This not only supports sustainable construction practices but also reduces the volume of material sent to landfills.
Using a stone crusher machine(trituradora de hormigón) to recycle waste material on-site promotes a circular economy, where old materials are transformed into valuable new resources.
Benefits Beyond Crushing
Reduced Equipment Footprint
For companies working in space-restricted sites, a mobile plant requires minimal setup area. This compact footprint allows for more efficient use of space and safer working conditions.
Better Cost Control and ROI
Although mobile plants may have a higher initial price compared to individual crushers, the total cost of ownership is often lower. Businesses save on transportation, installation, and labor while increasing their ability to adapt to multiple jobs. Over time, the faster returns on investment make mobile crushing a sound long-term strategy.
Flexibility to Scale Operations
Whether you’re scaling up for a large infrastructure project or downsizing after a job completion, mobile crushing plants can be adjusted accordingly. Units can be added, removed, or reconfigured based on the changing needs of the operation.
Conclusion
The decision to buy a mobile crushing plant is driven by the need for flexibility, speed, and cost-effectiveness in aggregate and construction material production. Whether you're working in mining, quarrying, or recycling, a mobile stone crusher empowers your business to operate more efficiently and sustainably.
Combining a robust stone crusher machine with modern mobility features, these plants provide the performance of traditional systems with the added benefit of on-site processing. When combined with the ability to serve as a reliable concrete crusher for demolition and recycling work, the mobile crushing plant becomes a powerful asset for any construction or aggregate-producing company.
If you're looking to enhance your crushing capabilities and adapt to the fast-paced demands of the modern industry, a mobile crushing plant may be the perfect solution.

Some people still talk about COVID-19 as if it was a thing
In Sweden and a lot of other countries COVID-19 Either didn't exist or it somehow had a negative impact on mortality since we had a lover than average 5 year annual trend mortality
All causes
Car accident's included
This is how I look at things
Because if U account for all mortality, simple tricks as renaming flu death COVID deaths wont suffice
And no, there weren't less car accidents than normal
But how many were killed by NIGGERS?
Yes, taken out of context I see that my post can be interpreted that way. What I meant was people still talking about COVID-19 as if it was a dangerous flu. Reminding us that it is still too early to relax.
Wear a mask, stay 10 feet apart, take many boosters, don't attend private gatherings, don't visit grandma, don't visit small coffee shops and restaurants.

The German communist urban guerrilla group known as the Red Army Faction (RAF) kidnapped the German businessman Hanns Martin Schleyer on this day in 1977. But did you know that Schleyer was a former SS officer? A fact often ignored in the historical narrative. Schleyer’s aggressive anti-communist views, his history with the Nazi Party, and later his position as a prominent member of the right-wing Christian Democratic Union made him one of the main enemies of the 1968 student movement and a target for the RAF’s kidnapping operation. The RAF used Schleyer to blackmail the West German government into releasing imprisoned RAF members, including two of its founders, Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin. After all the imprisoned members were found dead in their jail cells, Schleyer was killed by the RAF. Early in his life, Schleyer became an enthusiastic Nazi follower and quickly rose in the ranks of the Nazi Party. After being held as a prisoner of war following the defeat of Nazi Germany, Schleyer was released in 1948 and became one of the most influential German businessmen. He was simultaneously president of the Confederation of German Employers’ Association and the Federation of German Industries. The RAF was a West German communist, anti-imperialist urban guerrilla group that emerged from the 1968 student movement. It was founded in 1970 and remained active until 1998. Due to the RAF’s numerous activities against the West German state and its NATO allies, it became one of the leading communist urban guerrilla groups in Europe. The infamous picture of Schleyer being held by the RAF, taken 20 days into his capture, has since become one of the most iconic pictures of the 20th century.

I tried it about a week ago but since i have zero interest in alternatives to systemd or gui tools I find its easy to just install something that uses the things i want by default.
If you enjoy having that extea option and managing it with gui tools then im glad mx works for you, but it seems overcomplicated with no practical benefit to me.
What can sysv do that systemd cant anyway?

FTC Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees to Take Effect on May 12, 2025

Karl Marx: Labor is not the source of all wealth. Nature is just as much the source of use values (and it is surely of such that material wealth consists!) as labor, which itself is only the manifestation of a force of nature, human labor power. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

in reply to blast, le souffle de l’info • •Ce que les Européens vantent comme une « réinvention » d'un système économique, par opposition au capitalisme, n'en est pas une, mais plutôt un système éprouvé et raté à maintes reprises, causant des millions de morts et une pauvreté généralisée à chaque fois : le communisme et le socialisme.
Les deux systèmes peuvent être abusés, et c'est regrettable. Mais là où le capitalisme équilibre automatiquement l'offre et la demande et permet une production et une distribution optimales, le socialisme, n'incitant absolument à aucune efficacité, engendre systématiquement une pauvreté généralisée.
Il y a une raison pour laquelle, à l'époque du mur de Berlin, les gens ont tenté de fuir Berlin-Est pour Berlin-Ouest, il y a une raison pour laquelle ils tentent de fuir la Corée du Nord, il y a une raison pour laquelle ils affluent des pays voisins vers les États-Unis et le Canada : notre système, malgré ses failles et malgré ceux qui en abusent, fonctionne, et les autres non.
Vous devriez prendre le temps d'apprendre suffisamment d'histoire avant d'essayer de réinventer ses échecs, les gens n'ont pas besoin d'échec, ils ont besoin de succès, et l'agenda anti-humaniste de l'UE est la fin de la civilisation.
