And so the Metropolitan Police have been at it again; menacing & arresting a women for a Facebook post 'red flagging' her ex-partner, who (well, here's a surprise) was a serving police officer.

And then after he failed to get a civil order against her for molestation, the police conducted their own investigation into the officers' conduct (him & his mates) and found no case to answer...

And the police wonder why we don't trust them?

"The same logic that obliterates Gaza also demonises migrants in Britain, criminalises dissent, and elevates white nationalist narratives ~ Blade Runner ~ Far-right mobilisation continues across the UK, with protests flaring this weekend in Manchester and Newcastle. In London, a far-right protest was held on

"An international scientific review, published this Sunday in The Lancet, has compiled all the known harms caused by exposure to plastics and issued an important warning: there is now sufficient evidence that living surrounded by these polymers poses 'grave, growing, and under-recognized' risks to humans at all stages of life."

'Shameless actions': Pakistan condemns Israeli ministers storming Al-Aqsa mosque dawn.com/news/1928668/shameles…

Censorship of content relating to Palestine is a result of the UK government banning Palestine Action and duties placed on platforms by the UK Online Safety Act to moderate 'illegal' content.

Signatories to our open letter call on Ofcom to proactively defend the right to free expression.

The UK Online Safety Act requires platforms to assess and moderate 'illegal' content.

This mixed with the UK’s vague definition of terrorism could lead to content being wrongly flagged and removed.

This includes supportive posts about Palestine or protests and debate about the Palestine Action ban.

This is what it looks like when you tell somebody to go fuck themselves, and immediately block them afterwards.

Also, it's not condescending if it wouldn't be culturally appropriate for me to say instead: "Stop 👏 Linking 👏 To 👏 Substack 👏!"

But what is condescending? Using your #WhitePrivilege to ignore the fact that you're basically supporting (and advertising for) a literal #NaziBar.

And I'm going to continue to call out #Nazi supporters when I see them, regardless of how many times I'm told to go fuck myself because supporting #Substack is supporting #Nazis.

Dans cette interview par Olivier Berruyer pour Élucid, Jean-Baptiste Fressoz détruit le mythe de la transition énergétique : elle n'a jamais eu lieu et n'aura jamais lieu. L’histoire énergétique des sociétés industrielles n’est pas celle d’un remplacement, mais d’une accumulation : à chaque nouvelle source d’énergie s’ajoutent les précédentes, avec à la clé des effets rebond massifs. Depuis le début de la prise de conscience écologique, la ligne des pays riches n’a pas changé : poursuivre la surconsommation, épuiser les ressources, et s’adapter — autant que possible — à une planète qu’on continue de maltraiter.

According to capitalists:

✅ Working for a company like Google or Microsoft that is complicit in genocide.

❌ Displaying images of the genocide.

Maybe if the consequences of your work are considered “Not Safe For Work”, you shouldn’t be doing that work in the first place.*

But, no, it’s just much easier to look away, isn’t it? After all, you’re just following orders, right?

* Update: because I just *know* that someone will pipe in maliciously with “oh, so you mean sex workers shouldn’t be doing that work?”, I just want to preemptively say “fuck off, you pernickety prat, you know exactly what I’m talking about and it isn’t that.”

The former Knesset member said it clearly, they don't have problem with starving children their problem is with people seeing those images.

They have murdered almost all the reporters in Gaza, don't allow foreign press in and control almost everything.

My posts are now on moderation filter so most people on mastodon won't see them unless someone reshare them.

And we watch silently doing nothing to stop them .

El estado de Israel es el ejemplo perfecto de cómo el supremacismo es el pilar fundamental de la derecha a nivel internacional.

Si le preguntas a alguien de derechas que cuál es el pilar fundamental de su ideología, te contestará que la propiedad privada.

Pero a pesar de ello no tendrán problemas a la hora de ponerse de parte de un estado construido sobre la confiscación y robo de la propiedad privada de millones de palestinos.

Porque, de nuevo, por mucho que digan, el supremacismo pesa más en su escala de valores que el respeto a la propiedad privada.

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.

With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.

We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.

Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.

Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.

Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.

Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.

The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.

Your profit:

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.

That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.

If you like this project and want to loan us money, message me on WhatsApp or Telegram for more details.

If our project is suitable for you and you would like to lend money to our holding, send a message to my WhatsApp number or Telegram username below and I will give you detailed information.

After getting frustrated with Nextcloud being so slow and fiddling with its proxy, I finally decided to just try out Caddy. It looks so simple, there's no way shit just works like that, but hey, I'll give it a shot.

Half an hour later every single one of my services is running in a Caddyfile of like maybe 20 lines.

We'll see if I eat my words in an hour or so when I realize something is fucked up, but in the meantime...why the fuck does anyone even use Nginx?

in reply to Comrade Ferret

I get that it's powerful and you can do some more niche things. And apparently it's faster for very high-traffic services. But it seems like for the large majority of cases, when you just want things to work, you use Caddy. Nextcloud AIO just absolutely would not work period with Nginx and I still don't know why. Maybe someone who knows more about Nginx might offer to lend me a hand.

(4) Facts Will not Save You - by Seva Gunitsky - Hegemon


#science #AI #facts

as Goethe said, every fact is already a theory. That’s why facts cannot save you. “Data” will not save you. There can be no objective story since the very act of assembling facts requires implicit beliefs about what should be emphasized and what should be left out. History is therefore a constant act of reinterpretation and triangulation, which is something that LLMs, as linguistic averaging machines, simply cannot do. E.H. Carr wrote about this sixty years ago: “The belief in a hard core of historical facts existing objectively and independently of the interpretation of the historian is a preposterous fallacy, but one which it is very hard to eradicate.” The facts never speak for themselves; the historian always speaks for them.

@Yvan-Raphaël Tous les néoconservateurs qui ont écrit sur les crimes de Staline (du communisme) étaient d'anciens trotskistes. Tout ce qui a été dit contre Staline est en fait tiré directement de Trotsky.
Comment l'URSS aurait pu atteindre 10% de croissance économique et une augmentation de la production industrielle de 400% en 10 ans, tout en massacrant 30 millions d'habitants et en mettant 20 millions au goulag ? C'est juste absurde.
Et quand on creuse, par exemple en analysant les archives des procès de Moscou et bien... tout est faux.
