I am prepared.
What do I want?
Unprecedented.
On a grand scale.
Shake the MF up.
Make EVERYBODY come alert.
Wake the F up.
Realize the stakes ahead.
Realize the treachery behind.
Punish them.
Set examples.
Publicly.
Behavior.
Must become what it once was.
Return the genteel.
Kindness.
Regard.
Societal grace.
Less hard edges.
We have devolved.
Recognize that.
Turn back.
This is not advancement.

Michael Parenti: Well before hostilities ceased, the West was preparing to resume the crusade to make Eurasia safe for capitalism. Kim Philby, the British agent who defected to the USSR, reports that between the wars, the greater part of British intelligence’s resources 'devoted to the penetration of the Soviet Union.' When the defeat of the Axis was in sight, British espionage focused once again on 'Bolshevism.' The August 1943 minutes of the combined chiefs of staff, made public in London and Washington in 1970, reveal that ten months before the end of hostilities in Europe, 'military strategists discussed the possibility of repelling the Russians if they suddenly began overrunning Nazi Germany.' Both U.S. chief of staff General George Marshall and British chief of staff Sir Alan Brooke were interested in ascertaining whether Germany would help allied troops enter Europe 'to repel the Russians.' On the eve of the first atomic test, President Truman’s first thoughts were of the Russians: 'If (the atomic bomb) explodes, as I think it will, I’ll certainly have a hammer on those boys.' According to one visitor, Truman asserted that 'the Russians would soon be put in their places' and that the United States would then 'take the lead in running the world in the way that the world ought to be run.' General Groves, head of the Manhattan Project that developed the bomb, testified: 'There was never—from about two weeks from the time I took charge of the project—any illusion on my part but that Russia was the enemy and that the project was conducted on that basis. 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.

Delphine #Horvilleur: HONTE À VOUS !
C’EST AUJOURD’HUI QUE VOUS VOUS DÉCIDEZ À PARLER ?
Après 19 mois à accuser d’ #antisémitisme tous ceux qui osaient s’émouvoir, à humilier publiquement la courageuse Blanche #Gardin (et d’autres), à partager des informations erronées issues de la propagande d’extrême-droite israélienne, à servir de caution intellectuelle à tous ceux qui nous ont discrédités, nous qui depuis 19 mois avons du mal à dormir la nuit après avoir vu les images quotidiennes des massacres israéliens à #Gaza, et qui le disons….
Après 52.000 morts dont 18.000 enfants, des centaines d’exécutions sommaires en #Cisjordanie, des ambulanciers mis dans la fosse commune avec leur ambulance…
Après les appels desespérés de l’ONU, d’Amnesty International , de milliers de militants juifs israéliens de B'Tselem בצלם ou de Standing Together….
Après les dénonciations de soldats, de déserteurs et même d’anciens officiers israéliens de Breaking the Silence…
Après les mandats d’arrêts de la Cour pénale internationale…
Après les éditoriaux sans équivoque du quotidien israélien de gauche Haaretz הארץ…
C’est au 52.653ème mort de cette immonde guerre, que vous réalisez que le nettoyage ethnique que mène Israël depuis 19 mois n’est pas compatible avec les préceptes de votre Bible ?!?…
Et pire encore, vous sous-entendez dans votre texte que vous le SAVIEZ depuis le début mais que vous vous forciez à vous taire pour ne pas donner du grain à moudre aux antisémites ?!

Mais Madame la rabbine, je fais partie des milliers de Juifs, en #Israël, aux Etats-Unis, en France, qui hurlent depuis 19 mois et même avant, (12.000 palestiniens tués par Israël entre 2000 et 2023), qu’il faut arrêter l’ #occupation, arrêter le #nettoyage-ethnique, arrêter les #assassinats d’ #enfants, arrêter de se référer à la Bible pour spolier les Palestiniens de leur terres, arrêter le gouvernement d’Israël et son comportement colonial et meurtrier.

Et comment nous avez-vous nommés ? Juifs honteux ? Les insultes et reproches que j’ai essuyées de la part de mes (ex) amis juifs et de ma famille depuis des mois ne sont rien par rapport à ce qu’endurent les courageux militants israéliens dans leur pays.

Et vous pendant ce temps, vous vous taisiez volontairement ?!

Je ne crois en aucune Bible, contrairement à vous, et je n’ai pas besoin de m’abriter derrière un texte écrit il y a 2.500 ans pour savoir quoi penser quand un pays massacre des enfants.

Vous, et tous ceux, Juifs ou non, qui vous citent comme leur caution, êtes méprisables et votre parole est aujourd’hui plus discréditée encore que jamais.

On attend maintenant le retournement de veste du #CRIF, qui expliquait en janvier que l’année de guerre à Gaza avait été positive et qui justifie les morts civils parce que les « terroristes potentiels » sont nombreux chez les Palestiniens, de Joann Sfar qui efface chacun des 52.000 morts gazaouis derrière le #7octobre, du grand rabbin de france Haïm Korsia qui appelait il y a quelques mois Tsahal à « finir le boulot », d’Yvan #Attal qui a déclaré que les Palestiniens « enviaient la Shoah » aux Juifs et s’inventaient un #genocide…

Le vent tourne… La dernière phase de la conquête de Gaza par Israël approche, les déportations suivront, et l’annexion de la Cisjordanie gangrenée par la #colonisation n’est plus qu’une question de mois sans-doute… Alors chacun se précipite pour être du bon côté de l’Histoire… On a déjà vu ça dans le passé.

Mais nous n’oublierons pas.

Texte complet de la prise de conscience lunaire de la rabbine Delphine Horvilleur :
Texte publié par Delphine Horvilleur le 8 mai #2025, le 579ème jour des massacres Israéliens contre les civils de Gaza: tenoua.org/2025/05/08/gaza-isr…

Actually, most devices today run an amd64 kernel (amd or intel cpus in typical desktops or servers) or arm (phones, some modern notebooks). Those architectures never supported 486 cpus.

I assume, the code removed is in the x86 branch, excluded when compiling for other architectures. As others said, I guess this is mostly about maintainance effort and testing.

(But then i don't know much about the kernels. Maybe there's some interplay between amd64 and ~~x64~~ x86 architectures.)

Masked ICE agents arrest the Mayor of Newark New Jersey, while he was going to check out an ICE detention facility in his city.

The facility is suspected of operating illegally. He was accompanied by members of Congress. Seeing this shit reminds me of Nazi Gestapo in WWII. Instilling fear by use of force. What kind of monster does that for a job & enjoys it? I don’t care what Tom Homan says. “Just following orders” didn’t cut it as a defense during the Nuremberg trials.

Patience.
Appreciate the gift.
Expertly crafted.
Fault.
The rush to find fault.
The impertinent.
They are the fools.
They will always be.
Take the time to number them.

Warning: Newsom’s War on Oil Refineries Could Push Gas past $6 Per Gallon — Or $9 — in California

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s hostility to the oil industry could lead to the closure of local refineries — which, in turn, could push gas prices past $6 per gallon, or even $9 per gallon, a local analyst has warned.

"How happy and prudent is the man who strives to be now in this life what he desires to be found at his death. For it will give a man great confidence of dying happily, if he has a perfect contempt of the world, a fervent desire to advance in virtue, a love for discipline, the spirit of penance, a prompt obedience, self-denial, and patience in bearing all adversities for the love of Christ."

—Thomas a Kempis, author of "The Imitation of Christ", from which this quote was taken.

Le 9 mai 1945, le Général de Gaulle a écrit à Staline :
« Au moment où s’achève par la victoire commune la longue guerre d’Europe, je vous prie de transmettre Monsieur le Maréchal, à votre peuple et à vos armées, le témoignage de l’admiration et de l’affection de la France pour son héroïque et puissante alliée. Vous avez fait de l’URSS un des principaux éléments de la lutte contre les puissances d’oppression. C’est par là que la victoire a pu être remportée. Ainsi, la glorieuse Russie et vous-même avez mérité la reconnaissance de l’Europe tout entière qui ne peut vivre et prospérer que dans la liberté. »

The most beautiful burrito.

I’m heading back to Mountlake Terrace, and I decide to get dinner. Chipotle sounds reasonable, so I get a chicken burrito and a soft drink, figuring it would be good sources of protein for a post-orchi healing body.

I’m about to pay when a “mom” looking women tells the clerk “I’m paying for her meal”. I look over, and I have no idea who she is, but I say “Are you sure? Why thank you very much!” She smiles and wishes me a good evening.

So I get my Diet Coke, and sit down and the woman comes up and says “excuse me for a minute?” I figure she just paid my dinner, so I say thank you again and no problem.

She looks at me, and goes “I have a teenage daughter just like you.”.

Oh?

I notice the “Protect Trans Kids” pin on her jacket.

OH!!!

I smile and say “You must be very proud of her then”.

She smiles and says “you give me hope. I am so scared for her right now, but I can see her at your age right now, and that helps me.”

I start to cry a bit. Tell her that I’m in my late 50’s and have only been myself for a few years. How my mother is 90 and enjoying finally having a daughter.

I tell her “You will more than likely have your daughter longer than my mother will have hers. Cherish her. She’s a strong woman to become who and what she really is.”

She sniffs back tears of her own. Says thank you and she’s got to get her family’s food to them. And asks if she can give me a hug. Which is freely given.

I watch her leave, and sit down to my burrito. It is the most ineptly wrapped mess I’ve ever had and I give up trying to eat it properly and use a fork for the rest of it.

I’ve never had a burrito taste so wonderful before.

  • 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.

Le pervers sociopathe #macron continue tranquillement sa route grâce aux journalopes du #médiavers et à l'abrutissement général savamment entretenu...

♦️Philippe Murer : « #Macron est en train de partager la dissuasion nucléaire avec la Pologne via le traité franco-polonais. Une honteuse trahison de la France et le Parlement ne demande aucun compte, ne vote pas !
Le Conseil constitutionnel ne dit rien. »
🔥Macron qui, debout dans sa voiture, saluait hier une foule imaginaire, continue de prendre seul des décisions aberrantes qui engagent notre pays après avoir pris le contrôle de toutes les institutions et avec la complicité active ou passive de la prétendue «représentation nationale».

Sde Teiman : un camp de torture. Un abattoir humain. Une fabrique israélienne de la mort.

Ce n’est pas une fable militante, ni un récit anonyme : c’est un soldat israélien lui-même qui parle.
Il a servi là-bas. Il a vu. Il a tu. Et aujourd’hui, il brise l’omerta.

À Sde Teiman, l’État d’Israël torture en série.
Des Palestiniens raflés sans motif, entassés, affamés, privés de soins, opérés sans anesthésie, forcés à vivre dans leurs excréments.
Certains entrent debout, ils ressortent dans des sacs mortuaires.
Et tout le monde sait. Les médecins. Les gradés. Les journalistes. Israël sait. Israël laisse faire.

Le commandant lui-même parlait du camp comme d’un « cimetière ».
Parce que c’est ce que c’est : un site d’exécution lente, silencieuse, couverte par l’un des appareils militaro-médiatiques les plus rodés au monde.

Haaretz a publié ce témoignage. L’armée l’a ignoré. Les médias israéliens l’ont enterré. Pas un mot sur les meurtres. Pas un mot sur la torture institutionnelle.

Et pourtant, les médias israéliens ont osé réduire tout Sde Teiman à “un incident” : l’introduction d’un objet dans l’anus d’un détenu.
Mais ce n’est pas un dérapage isolé, ce n’est pas une anomalie — c’est une torture sexuelle, une méthode de domination coloniale parmi d’autres. Ce n’est pas “trop”, c’est exactement ce que permet et encourage le système.

Le problème, c’est que cet acte, aussi monstrueux soit-il, est utilisé comme vitrine d’horreur acceptable. Comme s’il suffisait de pointer un abus “choquant” pour masquer les centaines de crimes invisibles, les morts silencieuses, les humiliations banalisées.

C’est ainsi qu’on transforme un enfer organisé en simple “dérive”. C’est ainsi qu’on blanchit un camp de torture avec un seul exemple de barbarie, pour mieux taire tous les autres.

Mais à Sde Teiman, c’est Israël la barbarie. C’est Israël la terreur. C’est Israël le camp.

We increasingly hear about China travellers who use #deltachat successfully where Whatsapp and Signal fail to work. Recently a family onboarded including a 85 old mother, to prepare for China travel. Everbody succeeded, no troubles!

#deltachat is all about resiliency and "just works" user experiences. Despite ongoing and prospective network blocking attempts, our apps manage to mitigate and remain working everywhere. Meanwhile we are preparing some next level resiliency/security features ;)

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.

Exterminating Gaza was always Israel’s plan, but now it’s official

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity.

#SoundCloud updated its Terms of Service, apparently in Feburary 2024

uk.news.yahoo.com/soundcloud-q…

Basically, unless you have a record label or other third party rights holder managing your SoundCloud, this line in the ToS applies:

"You explicitly agree that your Content may be used to inform, train, develop or serve as input to artificial intelligence or machine intelligence technologies or services as part of and for providing the services."

See: soundcloud.com/terms-of-use

They've doubtless already scraped my work, but they don't deserve to keep it if they pull T&C changes like this.

I'll be taking my stuff off there and hosting Faircamp, I reckon. Maybe dump the actually popular stuff over to Bandcamp for discovery purposes? (But is that just asking for this to happen again.)
