Je vais continuer à le répéter jusqu'à ce que cela soit bien compris : dire aux gens qu'ils peuvent avoir de la nourriture pour pouvoir les abattre, c'est comme leur dire qu'ils peuvent prendre une douche pour pouvoir les gazer.

"I'm going to keep saying this until it sinks in: telling people they can have food so you can shoot them is no different from telling people they can have a shower so you can gas them."

Urgency to Switch from Windows 10 Builds


The openSUSE Project is part of a growing coalition of open-source advocates urging Microsoft users to install a Linux operating system as Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 this October, and urgency to get that message out is building.

Some in the IT industry are suggesting that as many as 50 percent of the devices remain using Windows 10, which comes at great risk to users and businesses.

Those who remain on Windows 10 and don’t upgrade to an operating system providing security and maintenance updates like a Linux OS or Window 11 will be susceptible to vulnerabilities, malware infections, software incompatibilities, and an increasing amount of system instability and failures over time.

The End of 10 campaign and its initiative aims to promote migration-focused type events to help these users shift from Windows 10 to Linux-based operating systems.

The amount of PCs that will become unprotected on October 14 is unprecedented, and getting people to migrate to Linux operating systems like openSUSE’s is reaching a critical juncture as millions face the looming deadline this Fall.

October 14 is just 12 weeks away and the end-of-support deadline for Windows 10 will expose those who have not migrated to increasing cyber threats.

In additions to the the threats, a big part of the End of 10 movement emphasizes environmental responsibility, digital sustainability and long-term cost savings for those with aging computers that could potentially end up recycled or in landfill.

End of 10 advocates and supporting organizations like NextCloud, REPAIR CAFE, KDE, GNOME, FSFE, EU OS and several other organizations would prefer users find a Linux solution for their older hardware rather than have this event create an environmental disaster. Installing Linux on these old systems can breathe new life into perfectly functional machines that may otherwise be discarded.

Several open-source software projects and organizations and been collaborating for more than a year to create unified resources, tutorials, migration tools and support channels to help lower the barrier to entry for those who seek to install a Linux new operating system.

Members of the openSUSE community and others have been vocal about appealing to Windows 10 users that can’t upgrade their devices to Windows 11.

For those ready to act, the campaign website has resources available and links to community events to help people install Linux.

Anyone who wants to install an openSUSE distribution can follow this A Step-by-Step Guide.

The message to Windows 10 users is clear; don’t replace your computer; reimagine it!

I've had three enshittification experiences already today. One of them took a while to sort out and almost bricked my phone. I was just about to moan at you about it, then realised: there's enough negativity already. The world doesn't need my minor-in-the-scheme-of-things cranky complaint. So instead I'm going to log off all things digital and go touch grass. Or bricks. Actual nice ones, like these ones I saw recently.

Olga #Bazova, journaliste russe :

«Il n'y a qu'une seule explication à la signature si rapide par #Zelensky de la loi qui éviscère les agences anti-corruption et consolide leurs pouvoirs sous la direction du procureur général d'Ukraine, qui fait également partie du cercle proche de Zelensky.

Des rumeurs, notamment l'article de Seymour Hersh, circulent selon lesquelles Zelensky serait sur le point d'être destitué, d'une manière ou d'une autre. Cette précipitation s'explique par le fait que Trump pourrait faire pression sur Zelensky et son conseiller Yermak, par l'intermédiaire du NABU, pour qu'ils favorisent les négociations de paix, quelles que soient les concessions qu'il devrait faire, car Trump considère Zelensky comme un obstacle plus important que Poutine à ses prétendus efforts de paix dans le conflit ukrainien.
Ces efforts ont déjà commencé par des enquêtes sur le cercle de Zelensky impliqué dans la production et l'achat de drones.

Mais bien sûr, les proches de Zelensky au sein du #SBU ont découvert une «connexion russe», ce qui est risible, sachant que ces organisations dépendent directement de l'ambassade des #États-Unis à Kiev.
Zelensky sait que cette décision risque de lui faire perdre le soutien restant de l'Occident, mais il l'a quand même fait. Il compte très probablement sur la soif insatiable de guerre contre la #Russie des russophobes européens impuissants au pouvoir, en particulier la Coalition des Attardés, pour continuer à soutenir l' #Ukraine tout en blanchissant des milliards d'euros.

Ainsi, Zelensky reste au pouvoir indéfiniment, ou jusqu'à son éviction par d'autres moyens, tandis que les eurocrates continuent d'injecter l'argent des contribuables dans le gouffre ukrainien, tout en se remplissant les poches. Une situation gagnant-gagnant pour tous, sauf pour les Ukrainiens et les citoyens européens ordinaires.

Les médias occidentaux, pourtant en guerre contre Zelensky, poursuivent leur campagne. La situation pourrait vite devenir incontrôlable ».

Selon Oleg #Tsarov, les agences dites anti corruption d’Ukraine ont été créées par des activistes de Soros, impliqués dans le coup d’état du Maïdan.
Oleg Tsarov était alors député de la Rada et c’est un témoin précieux de cette époque.

En 2013, un «Maïdan étudiant» à Kiev a été dispersé avec violence, ce qui a fait descendre dans la rue de nombreuses personnes, marquant le début du Maïdan de masse.

Cependant, lorsque Oleg Tsarov et ses amis ont commencé à étudier attentivement les photos et vidéos de cette dispersion, les procès-verbaux des arrestations, les admissions à l'hôpital, il leur est apparu que la grande majorité des manifestants étaient des membres d'organisations non gouvernementales. Il n'y avait aucun étudiant, et encore moins d'écoliers, parmi les personnes arrêtées ou blessées.

«Plus tard, écrit Tsarov, ces activistes ont été appelés les «sorosyata» (les petits soros). Ce sont eux qui ont constitué l'ossature du Maïdan. Ensuite, ils ont appelé à la constitution de l'ATO, se sont opposés à la mise en œuvre des accords de Minsk et ont soutenu la poursuite du conflit avec le Donbass — tant que «tous les territoires de l'Ukraine ne seront pas libérés».

Et maintenant, Zelensky a commencé à retirer aux «sorosyata» le contrôle du domaine anticorruption. C'est comme arracher une dent venimeuse à un serpent — après cela, on peut faire ce qu'on veut avec lui. Et les «sorosyata» le comprennent. C'est pourquoi ils descendent maintenant dans les rues de Kiev et d'autres grandes villes pour organiser des manifestations.
Ils comprennent que l'étape suivante après la destruction des organes anticorruption ukrainiens sera l'élimination progressive des «sorosyata» eux-mêmes. Étant donné tout ce qu'ils ont fait, il n'y aura pas de problème à trouver des raisons.

Les manifestations aideront peu. Trump ne viendra pas à leur secours — car ils sont étrangers pour lui. Ils agissaient au nom de Soros. Ils ont aidé à initier des procédures de destitution contre Trump.
Zelensky n'est pas Yanoukovitch. Ces manifestations seront dispersées. Et ensuite, on s'attaquera aux «sorosyata».
Et je vois là une certaine justice universelle. Ceux qui étaient à l'origine du Maïdan souffriront eux-mêmes de ses conséquences.
Kolomoïsky est déjà en prison. Le tour des «sorosyata» viendra aussi».

——

Zelensky a donc supprimé les deux agences anti corruption d’Ukraine.
La loi limitant les droits du NABU et du SAP a été publiée sur le site officiel du journal du parlement «Golos Ukrainy». Rapidement, comme jamais.
Cela signifie qu'elle entre en vigueur à partir du 23 juillet.

Désormais, Zelensky pourra agir sans restrictions majeures, et les sorosistes qui ont créé ces agences s'attendent à des temps difficiles.

Pas un mot de Macron ou de Barrot qui est fièrement en route vers Kiev.
Pas un mot d'Ursula Von Der Leyen ou de Kaja Kallas, les principales têtes de pont (p=c) de l’UE restent complètement silencieuses sur cette mesure.
Les ardentes fans russophobes de l’Ukraine doivent réfléchir car cette mesure anti anti-corruption devrait entraver l’adhésion de l’Ukraine à l’UE. Comment vont-elles pouvoir l’imputer à Poutine?
Grattage de têtes 😅

WashPost Complains Trump Admin Ignoring 1 in 3 Court Orders

Germany’s federal government is preparing massive cuts to social welfare benefits, pensions and healthcare starting in the autumn. Chancellor Friedrich Merz made this clear last Friday at his summer press conference.

If I could ask powerful world leaders a question and get an honest answer the question that interests me the most is "How do you see the future of your country? Who is a part of it? How are they a part of it?"

In the US Republicans are peddling a vision of a white, English-speaking, Christian America. A nation with very few or no non-citizen residents.

America is currently a largely white, overwhelmingly Christian nation with a significant population of non-citizen residents.

11 million people out of 326 million people, who live in the US, aren't citizens and will never be citizens (unless we change something.)

They are here because US companies can pay them lower wages. A non-citizen is less likely to complain. Not because "Americans won't do those jobs."

I hate when people say that. These people are essentially Americans. How can we make *that* argument while also saying they are somehow mysteriously able to do exhausting, work for low wages?

From most Democrats the "vision of the future" is murky, but amounts to "just leave things as they are" far too often.

I think we should be a diverse nation, as we have always been. A nation that both assimilates and is changed by the people who live here.

I don't think we should have a significant portion of the population who lives here indefinitely but will never really be a part of America.

It's OK to visit, but if you live here we need your help with running the government.

The Republican project to eliminate undocumented Americans is either a fake out: that is, we will look around in 10 years and there will still be millions of undocumented people working in the shadows with no path to citizenship.

OR it's the same kind of eliminationism that leads to some of the worse crimes in history.

I want to hear someone say NO. There should be a path to citizenship. Requirements should be reasonable. Become a part of America if you want to stay.

I think a lot of people would agree with "Become a part of America if you want to stay."

A friend of mine works in roofing. He's been doing the job for 20 years which is amazing because it's a very dangerous job. From time to time I've had to talk him down from supporting Republicans because he sees directly how his wages are lower, his job is less safe because most of the other people doing the same job are here illegally.

It's easy to blame immigrants for "not following the law"

5/

in reply to myrmepropagandist

Blaming immigrants for "not following the law" is also BS because the US laws have been contradictory. They way the laws are enforced ranges from random to incomprehensible.

This is obviously because there are business owners who want to hire people for lower wages, but don't care about them beyond that. We can all see this happening.

There have even been attempts to make government programs to codify this arrangement.

Things like "guest worker" programs that let people work in the US in agriculture for two years but then they need to return to their home country for a time before they can return to do two more years. Basically an exception just so farm owners can get their field workers without those workers ever becoming a part of the country.

Just keeping a thumb on people pressing them down.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

When I was a kid, my dad complained up and down about other farmers and other roofing contractors (he was both) and their immigrant workforces. He complained both about the immigrants and the people who hired them. He also loved to complain about OSHA.

Then he would make his own kids work for him, pay us a pittance, and put us in horrifically dangerous working conditions. He loved the farm loopholes in employment law that let you make slaves out of your kids.

100% this.

…I tried just now to compose sentences in agreement with your point, but all my attempts to put into clear, concrete language the implications are so horrifying and depressing that even thinking them makes me nauseous. I can’t write such nihilistic things before breakfast, I just can’t.

Never again IS now. _Here_ and now.

And it didn’t have to be this way.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

Thing is, The Netherlands is the same. Temporary workers from out of the EU-region, allowed to work their shifts on the fields, which have highest amounts of pesticides and poison.
Out when season is finished. In some industry a fence runs through the complex. The temps and the fewer fixed contracts can not have contact with each other. And talk about ¨things¨.
Germany, max. 2 hr drive from anywhere in NL has laws for that. Fix and temp have same wages and protection.
