Throughout my life, I've become obsessed with different things, until I inevitably become (or at least feel that I've become) a resource rather than a student of these things. It's never actually a nice thing to be, and just leads to frustration.

I think tech won't ever be like that, though. If anything, the other way around: I've spent years learning everything I can about Linux and networking, and I still feel like an idiot compared to so many people that I just casually meet here. It's nice.

It's nice to be an idiot.

This action in the Knesset is a typical example of 'what you don't hear, doesn't exist'.

As long as the word 'GENOCIDE' is not spoken out in the Knesset, there is no genocide.

Parliamentarian Ofer Cassif crossed that line and therefore had to be removed.

I was in favour of being extra careful when using the word "genocide", as it has a rather strict sense of "deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group". I must admit I was not completely sure. But I am getting closer and closer to using it; since 1948, Israel has based its existence in expelling and killing the Palestinian population to grow in their "promised land". I will take sides: Zionism brought nakba, apartheid and, now, genocide.

Seven Critical Anti-Bolshevik Theses for the Updating of Revolutionary Communism

Pendant des millénaires, les philosophes ont spéculé sur les
principes qui régissent les rapports des hommes entre eux. Toutes
leurs méditations et leurs études n’ont abouti finalement qu’à un
seul précepte. Il est aussi vieux que l’histoire de l’humanité.

qu’ils agissent envers toi- même. »

Keep fighting Democrats!

But we have to think and coordinate across all attack vectors while simultaneously avoiding and combating the psychological warfare. We either get extremely good at bringing together the right people for the right problems or we are in trouble. This is what Nostr's sole focus should be across the board right - hyperconnectivity and visibility to each other based on need/want/topic.

Si nous sommes si bassement égoïstes que nous ne puissions
dispenser un peu de bonheur autour de nous, ni faire un
compliment, sans espérer tirer quelque chose d’autrui en retour, si
nos coeurs ne sont pas plus larges que « l’aigre et chétive pomme
sauvage », alors nous ne manquerons pas d’essuyer l’échec que
nous méritons.

Trump Admin Partially Walks Back Plan to Deny Disaster Aid to Cities That Boycott Israel

#WotW #Hubzilla has the ability to block imports of posts containing certain strings — for instance, the Mastodon scammers that always end with the same fake handle claiming to be the security team.

It's a little unintuitive how you do this: Go to your channel settings, and in the "do not import posts with this text" bit, enter in the string you want to block, one per line. I find using regex usually works better, especially with hashtags or strings with spaces, ie:

/*Mastodon Support*/
/*#aiart*/

#JuliaChuñilCatricura is a 72-year-old #Mapuche leader who defended her community’s ancestral land from #forestry expansion in southern #Chile. Last November, she vanished without a trace while herding animals in the forest. Her family says she had received #threats after refusing to give up her land for money, and they believe her #disappearance is no accident.

Julia is not the first Indigenous land defender to go missing or be harmed.

Over the past decade, several Mapuche defenders have disappeared or died under suspicious circumstances.

To address the dangers faced by Indigenous land defenders, the Escazú Accord, a legally binding pact across Latin America, was signed into law. But three years on, advocates say the Chilean state is failing to uphold its promises. In 2024 alone, attacks against Indigenous defenders surged, and over 70% of those targeted were women.

What's funny about the Gudas getting "kidnapped" is that he/she willingly signed up for it and agreed to be drugged. The Gudas aren't aware they were actually in Antarctica way way later when they defeat Goetia.
This reminds me of that time where Waver hypnotized some unfortunate couple in Fate Zero so he had a place to stay in Japan.
