Really feeling for Amanda from @whitecoatcaptioning, our wonderful captioner, who has to type out all of these variations of "enshit-" in the middle of this breathless talk from @pluralistic. AMAZING JOB.
Really enjoyed @pluralistic’s #pyconus keynote about enshittification. It was especially great coming immediately on the heels of the messages from the conference’s corporate sponsors, some of whom Cory explicitly called out as bad actors in his talk. Can’t imagine they were very amused 😂
Plato: There is no one who ever acts honestly in the administration of states, nor any helper who will save any one who maintains the cause of the just. 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.
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.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) reported Thursday that around 90% of Gaza residents have been forced to flee their homes since the onset of the war.

Karim Khan, procureur en chef de la Cour pénale internationale, est en congé temporaire. C'est ce qu'a rapporté l'agence de presse Reuters, s'appuyant sur des sources proches de la Cour. Khan fait actuellement l’objet d’une enquête pour inconduite sexuelle présumée. Cette enquête est presque terminée. La CPI annoncera officiellement le départ de Khan plus tard dans la journée lors d'une conférence de presse, rapporte Reuters. On ne sait pas encore qui prendra la place de Khan pendant son congé.

AKshully. It isn't the panels but the inverters to convert DC to AC and put the power on the grid that is the problem. These components are connected to the internet so that they can receive updates, BUT... Additional, undocumented channels of communication, including radio, have been found in the equipment. This could allow China to spy on our power grid. breitbart.com/tech/2025/05/14/…
U.S. engineers have discovered mysterious, undocumented communication devices lurking in some Chinese-made solar power inverters and batteries, Reuters reported.
”A pair of trials covering 1.3 per cent of the Icelandic workforce revealed that slashing weekly hours led to better employee #wellbeing, with less stress and burnout, while #productivity stayed the same or improved. The positive results sparked union pressure in Iceland, and now 86% of Icelandic workers either work shorter weeks or have the right to ask to do so.“
For 90% of working Icelanders, a 36-hour week means less stress, more job satisfaction and time to enjoy life beyond work, says teacher María Hjálmtýsdóttir
"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.
"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""
"Tl;dr: Cyber criminals bribed and recruited a group of rogue overseas support agents to steal Coinbase customer data to facilitate social engineering attacks. These insiders abused their access to customer support systems to steal the account data for a small subset of customers. No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed and Coinbase Prime accounts are untouched. We will reimburse customers who were tricked into sending funds to the attacker. We’re cooperating closely with law enforcement to pursue the harshest penalties possible and will not pay the $20 million ransom demand we received. Instead we are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible for this attack."
When crime can pay your workers better than you do, it's really hard to hire integrity. Particularly when you've obviously chosen to source your workers from the cheapest place possible.

@Salinger 3 non c'est le contraire, l'UE ne tient que par le ressassement permanent de la seconde guerre mondiale, parce que les nations c'est méchant et que le patriotisme c'est mal (enfin c'est très bien quand ce sont des Croates, des Algériens ou des Ukrainiens bizarrement).
@{salinger3@diaspora-fr.org je n'ai rien contre les Allemands (comme je n'ai rien contre aucun groupe sans aucune cohérence, les blancs, les noirs, les juifs, les petits, les grands, etc). Par contre je me méfie de l'Allemagne et de ses invariants anthropologiques. Quand le chancelier allemand annonce que l'Allemagne va se réarmer et avoir "la plus puissante armée d'Europe", mes cheveux se dressent sur ma tête. J'aime tellement l'Allemagne que je préfère qu'il y en ait deux comme disait Mauriac.
Réfléchir les relations internationales comme un jeu de nations est un classique qui mériterait d'être actualisé par les formes de l'action citoyenne et des échanges produits par les individus non inféodés à la politique. Dans le cas contraire, nous reproduirons la sempiternelle verticalité, l'habituelle servitude devenue volontaire et sans doute, comme cela se profile semble-t-il, la perpétuation de la guerre au profit d'une poignée qu'il est légitime d'appeler oligarchie. S'instruire maniaquement sur les mouvements géopolitique est une entreprise que j'ai longtemps pratiquée et qui ne m'a guère plus servi qu'à étaler un savoir sans avenir. Il devient urgent, et pour moi manifestement sans doute, de construire une pensée différente, prendre part à l'élaboration de l'avenir d'abord et surtout parce que la dictature en tant que concept reprend bel et bien du poil de la bête
Les deux existent, bien que l'individu n'existe pas sans la société, de la même façon qu'en économie on distingue le micro du macro, lesquels sont interpénétrés

AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" Ubuntu 30% better performance than Windows 11
"Running Ubuntu 25.04 out-of-the-box on the HP ZBook Ultra G1a powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 led to 30% better performance than Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
Out of nearly 150 benchmarks in total, Ubuntu 25.04 was faster 80% of the time"
Now having shown the very strong AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 Linux performance for this 'Strix Halo' SoC with Radeon 8060S iGPU for its integrated graphics, you may be wondering on the same hardware how this compares to Microsoft Windows 11.
