I believe reporting about events as accurately as possible helps move the world in a positive direction.
I believe voluntary mutual aid is better than imposed mutual destruction.
Resistance to oppression is inherent to all life.
Liberation can not be imposed no matter how well intended, as that only changes whose will is imposed on others.

After forcing through the "Putin-law"/"Russian law" requiring e.g. NGOs with outside funding (e.g. if you donated via Amnesty International, HRW, etc) in Georgia to register as "foreign agent", in spite of huge protests and presidential veto, here comes the next step by the Orabán-ally ruling party:
a first reading in parliament will take place this month for a proposed legislation banning "LGBTQI-propaganda" similar to the one in far-right authoritarian Putin's Russia since more than a decade where it has been made further and further wide reaching to the point that now people are fined or worse for just a picture with a rainbow (yes, actually). All in the name of "traditional family values" and blaming it on the children.

The eradication of academic independence in Turkey by the dictator by decree taking the power to appoint the universities' bosses without any need for academic experience, which was valiantly protested by university students and staff especially at the prestigious Boğaziçi University leading to mass-expelling/firings, denial of graduation, police brutality, etc for simple acts like standing apart on a lawn,
has now been ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Turkey.
https://www.duvarenglish.com/top-court-rules-turkish-presidents-appointment-of-university-rectors-unconstitutional-news-64451

It is noteworthy and somewhat related that it is required by the constitution of Turkey for the President to have a university degree,
which Erdoğan has not managed to show having any even after having been in office for a decade, so the entire rulership is seemingly invalid.

Twitter is now a porn-site.
https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/03/x-tweaks-rules-to-formally-allow-adult-content/
I guess Musk wanted to ensure the platform will be blocked by corporations, etc from their networks.

@b9AcE@todon.eu avatar

@jasper Yes, but you are not a for-profit corporation with shareholders, a government agency or a church... I don't think? ;-)
Such entities will very likely have strongly voiced demands from members/shareholders/etc to not be on a porn platform, regardless of what either your or I think of it.

b9AcE,
@b9AcE@todon.eu avatar

@jasper Yes.

In my opinion the main reason as many people are still on twitter as they still are now is simply because so many others are too, in a self-sustaining mechanism,
but if e.g. corporate IT-departments are ordered to block access to twitter because it is considered a porn-site, that decreases at lot of people's presence on their and if the corporations also consider that they don't want to advertise their products on or issue statements or other PR where it may be right next to platform-endorsed porn, then that removes a lot of the content that people are there to consume.
If politicians campaigning for power see a similar risk then they will not want to campaign there either, because it creates a risk of undesired association, loss of votes, etc.
Without the politicians present a large part of the news-media likewise will not have as much reason to be present there anymore, as they will not have to keep checking if any politicians or corporations made important statements there and now taken all together there is a negative spiral of reasons for people to be there, so people can go elsewhere,
like here, where each corporation, political party, politicians, news-outlet, etc can in theory own their own instance and have complete control over what is published next to its content.

Just because I keep thinking of how immensely silly they looked, I'll share this video although it was two days ago it was included it in a report on that on May 24 employees of the Center for Banking Services No 714 of Belarusbank in the easternmost town Krychaw/Krichev marched singing "Our father is cool, he is one of a kind in the world" in a song about dictator Lukashenko, by a composer close to the dictatorial family which e.g. wrote the anthem of the prosecutor's office and has been declared the best in the country by the dictator's daughter-in-law.

@CatHat Ah, I forgot that detail.

Hmm, well, I feel like it's very much an either/or situation, where some always carry at least 3 guns anywhere and seem to just dream of having an excuse to use them,
while others even in some cases claim they would not even if they were being shot at at the time pick up a found gun to shoot back.

As in many other cases Kropotkin expressed the view I already had when I first read it with something along the lines of that, as freedom revolutionaries we must strive to minimize but not absolutely reject violence as if we seek violence we will create a continuation of oppression with people then wanting our deaths for killing people they cared about, but to entirely refuse violence when oneself or others are being oppressed or killed is suicidal or condoning their abuse.
I'm heavily paraphrasing because it's probably like close to three decades since I read it and I can't remember exactly where it was. Some foreword, I believe.

Microsoft's crappy "diskpart" storage device management tool is the only place I can remember ever using Hollywood's view on how computers work from movies and it actually working that way, after a full profession lifetime as an IT-consultant mostly in servers administration.

To paraphrase:
-Delete partition!
-Protected! Cannot delete!
-Override!
-Okey-dokey!
It's like a parody of how clueless people portray "hackers" using computers, but is instead Microsoft being "serious".

The two current design paradigms of Intel and AMD.

Intel: Push all the watts in the world into every CPU to get even just 100MHz higher CPU frequency to put on our charts!
Users: ...and more performance?
Intel: Performance, pershmormance, we have hot hot herzes, we don't need performance for our PR-strategy to work. (P.S. motherboards may catch fire, actually)

AMD: Yo dawg, we heard you liked performance with your power savings, so we put a ⅕ performance increase in your super-cool power savings.
Users: What's the trick? What catches fire?
AMD: Fire? Why? Are you doing a mehmeh again? Anyway, also, our new desktop motherboards will work for all desktop CPUs beyond 2027, like how our previous motherboards should be good for ~10 years since release. Anything else we can do for you?
Users: Hey... Intel, have you seen this?

Intel: HERZ HERZ HERZ!! UNZ UNZ UNZ!! BWOWOWOOWOOOW!! HERZ HERZ HERZ!!!

The sub-category of "the State" of members of the "Confederation of Unions for Professionals" (UNIO) started a strike in Norway during previous week and today they expanded to 3300 employees on strike.
The expansion of people on strike covers "especially the border control at Gardermoen and Flesland [airports], passport offices in Bergen and Trøndelag, the Meteorological Institute [weather predictions], the National Library and the teacher and nurse training programs",
said the boss of the strike committee for "the State" sector of UNIO, vice chair of the police guild Ørjan Hjortland.

Forgot to mention that several employees at the Sámi Parliament of Norway are covered by the strike, 27 at the Sámi University of Applied Sciences, etc.

The central dictatorship government of Turkey has begun its purging of the people's will in landslide electoral victories, just as it usurped the will of almost all of those local local elections the previous period, by revoking the won posts and replacing with "trustees" through decree and in a persecutional manner prosecuting the elected as "terrorists" implicitly but clearly and methodically for having won elections.

Two videos of the mass-protests that have begun over Erdoğan's central dictatorship regime today usurping the people's representative chosen by recent overwhelming electoral victory in Colemêrg/Hakkâri of Turkey-held part of Kurdistan.

Police using their shields to censor the press as seen in part one is their default practice whenever a crowd speaks criticism against the actions of the wannabe-Sultan and entourage in public.

You will see more protests about this, I am sure.

The co-chairs and members of the anti-racist, antifascist, feminist and encironmental DEM Party as well as its ally Democratic Regions Party (DBP) held a sit-in through the night in Colemêrg/Hakkari in protest against the usurpation of the people's electoral will by replacing the elected Mayor and arresting on claims of "terrorism" for being elected for the exclusively electoral politics party as was done to almost all of those elected to local positions for the equivalent party during the previous mandate period.

Apparently it was very scary for the dictatorship that the political party leaders sat down, because police came and surrounded them.

Kati Piri, member of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands for the Labour Party, commented on dictator Erdoğan's usurpation of the people's will as clearly expressed in recent local election in Colemêrg/Hakkari.

─────
Erdogan believes democracy is perfectly fine, as long as you vote for his party.

The people of Hakkari elected their Kurdish mayor Mehmet Sıddık Akış just two months ago.

Arresting and replacing him with a government trustee is NOT democracy.

Quite excited looking forward to Noctua's "next-generation NH-D15" (https://noctua.at/en/product-roadmap).
It's been just over a decade... while others in the same field release like one new top model every second year, but the trusty old D15 is still considered among the top performers.

Noctua NH-D15 G2: in June.

Remains to be seen how good it actually is through proper 3rd party tests of course, but the previous D15 remained considered as top tier for a decade during exceptionally rapid development by others.

The latest press release from the People's Defence Forces (HPG) Geneva Conventions compliant guerrilla of the PKK defending against Erdoğan's imperialist war of aggression in S Kurdistan/N Iraq.

The ban against using chemical weapons in warfare is absolute.
Except apparently if it is inconvenient to NATO, EU and Putin at the same time,
in which case the organization that has taken upon itself to investigate every such instance, OPCW, will resolutely... call the police on people protesting its inaction outside its HQ and refuse to investigate the videos and soil samples sent to it, just as it refused to reject the bribe it proudly publicly announced having received from Turkey just before Erdoğan began the chemical warfare.
