Shlomo Sand: De la rivière à la mer, tous peuvent être libres et égaux


#politique #Israël #Palestine

Shlomo Sand nous fait aujourd'hui l'honneur de participer au podcast. Historien, professeur à l'université de Tel Aviv, ses ouvrages font polémique depuis des décennies. A travers "Comment le peuple juif fut inventé", Sand revisite l'archéologie et les faits pour remettre en cause le mythe de l'Exil, fondement du sionisme et du retour à la terre d'Israël. Plus récemment, "Deux peuples pour un État ? Relire l’histoire du sionisme", Sand remet en cause la doxa de la politique des deux états. Il propose alors d'imaginer un Etat unitaire qui réunirait juifs et arabes sur une même terre, de la rivière à la mer, égaux en droits, et libres.

De l'extrême ouest à l'extrême est... d'Ankara à Tokyo, de Marrakech à Naplouse, de Jakarta au Caire... la terre tremble à répétition et à un rythme accéléré !

La punition pour « trahison » sera-t-elle un tremblement de terre majeur ? Pour que chacun puisse goûter un peu aux horreurs de Gaza, mais sans missiles ni bombardiers venus du ciel, mais depuis les profondeurs, là où Dieu lui ordonne d'avancer, pour qu'il s'élève, furieux et punitif ?!

C'est un nouveau scandale.

La France s’apprête à livrer des équipements militaires à Netanyahou.

Un cargo israélien fera escale demain à Fos-sur-Mer, près de Marseille.

Il transportera secrètement 14 tonnes de pièces détachées pour fusils mitrailleurs fabriquées par la société française Eurolinks. Des pièces qui doivent être livrées à l’entreprise d’armement Israel Military Industries.

Le président @EmmanuelMacron doit s'expliquer. La France ne peut être complice du génocide en cours en Palestine.

How to edit a PDF document:

One tool that is probably already on your Linux desktop is LibreOffice Draw. It can open PDF documents, and edit them, as long as it's not an image.

If you're familiar with vector drawing programs, then Inkscape can also edit PDF documents. For more robust solutions, you have proprietary commercial solutions, including PDF Studio, Master PDF, Foxit PDF Editor, or WPS Office, but you'll have to pay for them.

How to manually sign a PDF:

Okular can actually do that. You can use the manual drawing tool to write your signature, or you can add the ability to paste an image on top of a document, but it's convoluted. You have to go to settings, toolbars shown, enable the quick annotations toolbar, then click the "configure button", click "Add", select the type "Stamp", and click the little button next to the "stamp symbol" field, to pick your own hand drawn signature that you previously saved as an image. Afterwards, you can just add that to any document in one click from that quick annotations toolbar.

You can also open the PDF document in LibreOffice Draw or the GIMP, and add your image signature this way.

How to digitally sign a PDF:

The easiest way is to use LibreOffice. Open the LibreOffice suite, click File, then digital signatures, and then "sign existing PDF", then the "sign document" button at the top. It will list all the available existing signatures and certificates you have installed on your device, and you can pick the one you want.

By default, LibreOffice will look into Mozilla Firefox's certificates list, so you'll have to put your certificate file there. To do so, open FIrefox, then the main menu, Preferences, Privacy and Security, and then "View Certificates". Then click on "authorities" and "Import", and then the "OK" button, and you're done.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)!

A simple option is GImageReader, an open source app that will let you import a document or image, and will recognize all the text inside, in a very large variety of languages. It can take a while to do its thing, but it works reliably, and it was able to extract text from scanned PDFs and images like a PNG.

If you prefer doing these tasks from the command line, then you have Tesseract OCR, which is actually what GImageReader uses in the background.

How to annotate a PDF:

Your best option is probably Xournal++. It lets you open PDF documents, and draw all over them. You can highlight text, add hand drawn notes, shapes, type some text. It can even handle equations and graphs, and has a very customizable interface.

How to modify pages, split and merge PDF documents:

If all you need is modifying the pages in a PDF document, like reordering them, or deleting them, then you have PDF Arranger, a simple GNOME app that will run on any Linux desktop, and is available on Flathub.

Monsieur Retailleau,

La loi définit l'injure raciste comme « toute expression outrageante, terme de mépris ou invective adressé à une personne ou à un groupe à raison de leur origine ou de leur appartenance à une ethnie, une nation, une prétendue race ou une religion déterminée ».

Quand vous dites que « le vote musulman » est antisémite, vous rentrez exactement dans cette définition en outrangeant un groupe en raison de sa religion.

Retirez vos propos. Et partez avec.

@VaylLarkinPoet@disabled.social But there's real societal value in learning to cope with one's triggers. I am triggered by things every day both on the fediverse and in real life and it is a valuable life skill to learn how to cope. I can't go around to people around me and ask them to change their behavior simply because I find something they do triggering.
We have no choice over what happens to us in life sometimes.But we have the choice in how we choose to respond. I'm a firm believer in that. That being said, if I know that something I'm doing bothers somebody I'm not going to be a dick and continue to do it if I don't need to.

In my lay understanding, an AI's performance dramatically deteriorates when it is trained on its own output ("model collapse"). To the extent that the web gets flooded with AI slop, genAI is "poisoning the well". There's an eerie parallel here with Steve Bannon's hard-right maxim of "flooding the zone with shit". The point of this discursive strategy is to undermine the basis for reasonable debate, so all statements seem equally (im-)plausible and the audience becomes more responsive to cues.

Unless you go in with a byte editor, you can't change Mercurial's commit history. I didn't say "fabricate", I said "change".

You can, as you say, configure your user name and email to be "Linus Torvalds" and change your computer date and fabricate whatever history you want. You might also be able to go in with a byte editor and fiddle bits and change history that way; Mercurial provides no blockchain-like cryptographic guarantees. But, unlike git, rewriting history is not supported by Mercurial; history is immutable. Rebase doesn't change history; the commit index only ever increments. Squash and rebasing create new commits, and there history of what happened is always in the repo.

There's a distinct and clear difference between Mercurial's immutable history and git's de jour history rewriting, which can literally - with the git command - change published history to make a commit made 3 years ago look like it was committed by someone else. The git workflow used by the kernel team, and the b4 tool, use this history rewriting in the standard workflow.

If you wanted to do the same thing with Mercurial, you'd have to get a byte editor and start hacking the on-disk format, and it would have to be entirely outside of any Mercurial tooling. And there is some sequential hash verification you'd have to work around, even if it's not cryptographically auditable.

The point is, with Mercurial it would be hard and the result would be utterly incompatible with any other clone of the repo: there would be no way to propagate your changes to other clones. With git, this is a standard workflow.

Looks like Mercurial can change the history just fine using the hg command. You just need to enable it first.

Git can also be configured to disable history rewrites.

So the difference between git and hg really just comes down to the defaults.

🧵Gjovik v Apple update: I filed a Motion for Reconsideration in 9th Circuit today. The court dismissed my appeal claiming "no jurisdiction" while ignoring 28 USC §1292(a)(1) - which gives mandatory jurisdiction over injunctive relief denials (my Gobbler claims!). It's not discretionary.

But here's the kicker: While I was fighting this procedural maze, Congress was busy criminalizing Apple's exact conduct through the TAKE IT DOWN Act & AI Whistleblower Protection Act. 📊⚖️

So, I decided to install Linux on that thing. Since Fedora 41was just released, I decided to go for that, with the beta to be precise, it wasn't officially out when I started making this video.

I decided to just apply the basic updates to the distro, and not even look at firmware updates first, just to see if everything worked properly, and I wasn't disappointed. Wifi and bluetooth work fine, the keyboard backlight is supported, the touchpad is able to perform these smooth GNOME gestures, the keyboard works perfectly, suspend and resume as well, there's nothing to add or configure, which is nice., and it's really not always the case with laptops primarily meant to work with Windows.

This is all on Fedora 41, with the linux kernel 6.11, so not even the very latest. The camera, mic, and speakers also perform well, although as always, the mic's default volume is wayyy to high for a laptop mic and needs to be lowered by about half. Even the fingerprint reader located in the power button works perfectly, although registering a fingerprint is finicky. It even works from the terminal, which is cool. Hot swapping the ports fro the laptop's body also works fine, everything is just fully functional.

As per the CPU itself, it's a Ryzen 7 7840U, so not the very latest and greatest from AMD, but it's a very competent CPU nonetheless, with 8 cores and 16 threads. On Geekbench 6, it got 2570 in single core, and 11270 in multi core.

As per battery life, the framework 13 isn't a big champion, it only has a 61 Wh battery with aht specific AMD CPU. For me, resulted in about 8h of looped video playback on youtube, with hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox, over wifi, at mid brightness, on power saver mode, with a 2880x1920 display running at 120hz, with 150% fractional scaling.

As per the actual laptop's hardware, it's great. The build quality is good, and absolute proof that you don't need to sacrifice repairability and maintenance options to get a well built device. It doesn't really flex much apart from the middle of the keyboard, and it feels very rigid and solid, despite that fact that various plates can be unscrewed and removed.

Aesthetically, there is not much of a tradeoff ether, apart from the ports which look weirdly far apart from one another because, well, they have to to make this module thing work, but it's honestly not a big deal, it looks fine, and at least you don't bump multiple peripherals into one another, and you don't block ports, with a big USB drive.

The plastic bezel is fine as well, the branding is very minimal, it all looks good. I enjoyedn the screen, it's bright, colors are good and it has an anti glare coating. It goes up to 500 nits, and covers 100% of sRGB. it's also 3:2, which i like as an aspect ratio. It can go up to 120hz as well,but that's only for the 2880x1920 display I got i my review unit.

The keyboard and touchpad are great as well, among the best laptop keyboards I've used. Keys are stable, correctly sized, and have good travel, they feel really nice to type on. The touchpad is smooth glass, it works perfectly for touchpad gestures, and it'ws precise not fiddly at all. It's also centered, which is good.

Other nice things include the mic and camera privacy switches that will stop them from being used electrically.

As per the cost, it's more expensive. With everything I got in the box, the review unit costs 1748 euros, with the 20% VAT included. But, with the framework laptop, you are almost guaranteed to get just a new motherboard when you need it, and you don't need to buy an entire new laptop every 5 years, which might save some money in the long term.

Mastering the Selection of a Company Secretary


 Choosing the right company secretary is crucial for your business's efficiency and compliance. By breaking down the process into key factors, you can simplify the decision-making process.

The task of selecting a company secretary can be daunting, especially with the vast array of secretarial service providers available. Whether you're a startup founder or managing an established enterprise, choosing the right secretarial services provider is essential for your business's efficiency and compliance. This guide will help you navigate the process by breaking down the key factors to consider when comparing secretarial service providers.

Understanding Your Business Needs

Evaluate Your Requirements

Before you start comparing providers, it's crucial to understand what your business truly needs. Are you looking for basic administrative support, or do you require comprehensive services that include compliance management, board meeting coordination, and document filing? Identifying your specific needs will help you filter out providers that don't align with your requirements.

Plan for Future Growth

Consider the future. As your business grows, your secretarial needs will evolve. Choose a company secretary that can scale with you, offering services that will continue to support your operations as you expand.

Expertise and Experience

Industry-Specific Knowledge

A seasoned company secretary with experience in your industry can offer invaluable insights and tailored support. For instance, a tech startup might require different compliance assistance compared to a manufacturing company. Look for providers who understand the nuances of your sector.

Check Their Track Record

Don't just take their word for it—check their track record. Ask for case studies or client testimonials to gauge their reliability and effectiveness. Have they successfully managed secretarial duties for businesses similar to yours? Their history can be a strong indicator of their capability.

Range of Services

Comprehensive Service Offerings

Not all secretarial services are created equal. Some providers offer a broad spectrum of services, while others specialize in specific areas. Ensure the provider you choose can handle all aspects you might need, such as compliance management, board support, and document management.

Customizable Packages

Every business is unique. Look for a provider that offers customizable packages, allowing you to pick and choose services that fit your specific needs without paying for unnecessary extras.

Technology and Tools

Leveraging Modern Solutions

In today's digital age, leveraging technology can significantly enhance the efficiency of secretarial services. Providers who utilize advanced software for document management, communication, and compliance tracking can offer a more streamlined and effective service.

Robust Security Measures

Sensitive business information needs to be protected. Ensure that your chosen company secretary employs robust security measures to safeguard your data. Ask about their data protection policies and the technology they use to prevent breaches.

Cost and Value

Transparent Pricing Structures

Cost is always a consideration, but it shouldn't be the only factor. Look for providers that offer transparent pricing structures without hidden fees. Clear understanding of costs helps you budget effectively and avoids unpleasant surprises down the line.

Value for Your Investment

Cheapest isn't always better. Evaluate the value you're getting for the price. A slightly higher cost might be justified if the provider offers superior services, better expertise, or more comprehensive support.

Communication and Support

Prompt Responsiveness

Effective communication is key to a successful partnership. Assess how responsive the secretarial services provider is during your initial interactions. Do they answer your queries promptly and clearly? This responsiveness often reflects the level of support you can expect once you're onboard.

Dedicated Support Contact

Having a dedicated point of contact can make a significant difference. It ensures you have someone familiar with your business who can address your needs promptly and efficiently.

Compliance and Reliability

In-Depth Regulatory Knowledge

A reliable company secretary should have a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape relevant to your business. They should not only ensure compliance but also keep you informed about any changes that might affect your operations.

Consistent Reliability

Dependability is non-negotiable. You need a provider you can trust to handle critical tasks without constant oversight. Look for signs of reliability, such as consistent service delivery and positive feedback from other clients.

Cultural Fit

Alignment with Company Values

Your secretarial services provider should align with your company’s culture and values. This alignment fosters a smoother working relationship and ensures that the provider understands and respects your business ethos.

High-Level Professionalism

Professionalism in handling your affairs is essential. The provider should exhibit a high level of professionalism in their interactions, ensuring that your business is represented appropriately in all matters.

Making the Decision

Create a Shortlist

After evaluating providers based on the factors above, create a shortlist of potential candidates. Compare them side-by-side to see which one ticks the most boxes for your business needs.

Ask Detailed Questions

Don't hesitate to ask detailed questions during consultations. Inquire about their processes, experience, and how they handle specific scenarios related to your business. Their responses can provide deeper insights into their suitability.

Consider a Trial Period

If possible, opt for a trial period to assess the provider’s services in real-time. This hands-on experience can help you make a more informed decision before committing long-term.

Reviews like this make the blood, sweat and tears working on this adventure game while being an underpaid social worker in the US ghetto worth it. And yeah, let's make cyberpunk PUNK again! store.steampowered.com/app/673… #cyberpunk #indiegame #indiedev #SteamDeals
Holy 90s adventure revival, Batman. Neofeud is a non stop feast of deja vues of interesting but arguably worse games from the 90s like Noctropolis, Harvester or | Have No Mouth and | Have To Scream, done mainly by a (arguably very very intelligent) guy that is from Hawaii and works as a robotics teacher in a probably difficult place - meaning, what you see in the game are things that probably he has been living there. The best part though is how he mixes all the 90s “cd rom multimedia” cyberpunk aesthetic and how he runs with it all along. And the game is very well written, very fair (for the moment at least) and has atmosphere in spades. Maybe if the references are nothing to you, you will not be able to enjoy it. But that's part of it. Neofeud is a game about empathy, about humanity, about fighting the oppressor, which is what Cyberpunk was about until it was washed out to be the bland neon aesthetic of today. | love it. | love the author, and | hope to see many things from him. Was this review helpful? dh, Yes No (© Funny |

Neofeud on Steam

Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals.

İzmir Büyükşehir işçilerinin grevi sosyal medyada muhalifler tarafından linç edildi. Eyleme destek veren DİSK, AK Parti işbirlikçisi ilan edildi. Grevdeki işçilerin eyleminin haksız olduğu tezine en büyük argüman ise işçilerin Tuncelili, Mardinli olması gösterildi. Yılmaz Özdil: “İzmirlileri tehdit eden sarı sendikayı söküp atalım.” Mine Kırıkkanat: “Bunlar işçi değil, İzmirli değil, KK zamanında göz kırpılan partinin militanları.”

JEWISH LIES AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES

In 2024 in Western countries sales of electric vehicles fell for the first time.
The Jewish media claims that drop is a passing blip, but the truth is that with the rapid growth of the alternative media, people are finding out that they had been duped about man-made climate change.
The masses are finding out that carbon dioxide (CO2) only accounts for the diminutive amount of 0.04% of the atmosphere and methane, which is supposed to be the second worst heat-trapping gas, accounts for the infinitesimal amount of 0.0002% of the atmosphere.
CO2 is so insignificant and irrelevant, that it has to be measured out of every one million molecules in the air and methane is even more minuscule and so tiny, that it has to be measured out of every one billion molecules in the air.
How can something so diminutive and insignificant be changing the world climate?
The reality is that it is not.
People are also finding out other truths about biology, atmospheric physics, botany and related fields, which show that if carbon dioxide falls below 150 parts per million (ppm), all plants die because carbon dioxide is fundamental for the survival of plants and actually food for plants. If plants die, everything else dies.
CO2 is essential for life and it is only because the Jewish media had a monopoly on information up to 2019, that it managed to dupe a huge share of the world population with the narrative that carbon dioxide is bad.
During the last Ice Age, called the Last Glacial Maximum, some 20,000 years ago, CO2 levels fell to just 180 ppm and life almost disappeared. The mega fauna like mammoths and saber tooth tigers died off and the human population shrunk massively.
In 2020, CO2 was at about 430 ppm.
The billion long geological and atmospheric history of the world shows that the higher the CO2 in the atmosphere, the better it is for plants, animals and humans.
In fact, the higher the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the faster plants grow, which is the reason why many farmers buy expensive carbon dioxide producing machines that are placed inside greenhouses to accelerate the growth of vegetables, flowers or other plants
The evidence suggests that as the share of the world population, but more so, as the share in Western countries that is aware of the biological and atmospheric truth grows, the sale of EVs will fall because a huge share of the people who in past years bought EVs, did it because they bought the lies of the Jewish media which said that by driving an EV, people were contributing to save the world from a colossal climatic catastrophe.
It was all a lie and once people become aware of that lie, the justification and motivation for buying an EV, which are inferior vehicles in many aspects relative to a combustion engine automobile, disappear

No. It's mostly due to personal/personnel matters.

But it's a reminder to folks to not bring that shit from reddit where you scream at mods and admins all the time. When you post flagrantly illegal shit it's their asses too (some instances have their own interpretations of these things, so learn them!)

These are often unfunded volunteers begging for donations to provide a service for the rest of us. Be grateful and don't add to their list of problem. Don't go on witch hunts, don't put mods and admins on blast because you don't like their rules (saw this yesterday), don't be an entitled ass. Appreciate what we have and make their lives easier. This whole project is a gift.

re point a: if the rules of the instance are not followed, of course mod action is legit. that guy was a douche it seems.

i think mods of nsfw instances also deserve certain praise; modding that stuff must be … ugh. especially since the instance could be on a 486 in someone’s bedroom. having ran newsgroup servers back in “the day” - turning on anything “alt.bin” was .. not advised.

i had content recently removed for “advocating violence” (iirc it was when i suggested criminal charges for all shareholders of corps who do violent things like allow death when choosing profit over people, yadda yadda.) No example of what the offending remark was and I could not find the old comment to manually review or correct or apologize. in this case I messaged a mod. no reply yet. was it a legit removal? probably certainly! was it poor “customer service” to not follow up with me? probably. does it make me confused as to what the line is there and therefore distrust that community? certainly.

anyway yeah. so the feedback loop could be improved. mods could be more human. and commenters could be less dicks all around! 😀

@flandish @LandedGentry I simply offered my site as a potential option for those losing access to the site going down. In response to this I get 50 some odd dislikes and two SYN floods.

Unlike the admin of the existing site, I DO have a thick skin having been in the game since well before Linux existed.

But the environment would be so much richer and better if everyone didn't act like 13 year olds on a testosterone rage.

Not trying to victim blame or anything, but I find it hard to believe that someone operating a low-moderation instance would truly expect people who don't like moderation to stay away.

Don't get me wrong I agree with your sentiment and dislike that behavior, but what I'm saying is that asking or expecting users not to go on witch hunts or to behave in a certain way is a fool's errand that will always lead to burnout. A more sustainable approach for admins and mods is creating space for what they want to host and not trying to control what they don't.

joda, sporing er et samfunnsproblem. Eller et samfunns gode... Spørsmålet er hvordan det brukes. All informasjon kan misbrukes. I visse tilfeller er det en fin ting at det er sporing på folk.

Eneste måten å unngå å gi ut informasjon er personlig. Samfunnet kan ikke stoppe det. Du må ta aktive valg selv for å hindre sporing av deg. Eller hva som skal ha sporing.

Du kan forby det med lov, men så lager de en avtale som du må si ja på, da er det godkjent 😃

@tomidar dette var virkeligheten før GDPR kom, som satte en del begrensninger for hva man kan gjøre med brukerdata. Holder ikke lenger med skjulte vilkår som selger sjela di 😛

Men jeg tenker GDPR er første steget på en lang vei. Det er ikke perfekt, men det funker. Det setter verdi på personvern og det disse tjenestene tar fra oss.

Jeg mener det neste steget er adferdssporing og målrettet markedsføring, som er et rotterace med mer og mer inngripende sporing for mindre og mindre avkastning.

Lecture en cours avec la dernière partie du formidable « Les algorithmes contre la société » d' @hubertguillaud

Je vous le conseille pour l'analyse précise et accessible tout autant que pour les notes de bas de page qui en font un 2e ouvrage riche de très nombreuses sources à lire et pour des principes à défendre comme :

On pourrait imaginer une règle simple : pas de calcul sans accès. Pas de calcul du social sans accès social à ce calcul.


Simple, basique !

Ensuite, ce sera « le rapt d'Internet » de @pluralistic ainsi que le tout dernier exemplaire de @socialter intitulé « De la lutte à la victoire ». ✊
