Yeah, but that's also an ouroboros: if you could securely reach your teachers, that indie newspaper journalist who has written on someting you have information about and your town's zoning department on Mastodon much more people would have joined then.

It's more complicates than that: Macron WANTED the far rights to win when he dissolved the national assembly. He just couldn't act upon his desire when "the left" united and he was forced to ask his candidates who came third to desist becausebhe couldn't officially align with the far right when there suddenly was a credible chance they would lose. And many of his candidates DIDN't desist anyway.
Also there is a bunch of neoliberals and reactionaries the "left" union we had to do. We'll have to wait and see who he nominates as prime minister now.
The real twisted, devilish thing for him to do now would be to pick Glucksman.

Meanwhile child marriage is legal in all but 10 states in the USA. Around 200 000 children have been maried to adults since the year 2000, most of them little girls, 25 states don't have a minimum age limit and we know of cases involving children as young as 10 years old. The most backward countries are not always the ones that first come to mind.

To be fair aparently everything is going according to his plan. The idea was that he wanted the far right to have two years in government and to fuck it up royaly because they have a notorious lack of cadres, while he would opose them posturing as the last wall of democracy from the presidencial palace.
But it is true that the left union has kind of deprived him of this narrative for now. For those who actually care about the far right not getting access to power the left have been the ones who immediately actually did something, which makes him look like what he is: the guy who empowered them and cinicaly toyed with the future of democracy.

Êtes-vous des militants, des journalistes, de futurs lanceurs d’alerte? Le fond de l'air effraye et les fafs et les flics se sentent pousser des ailes.
Avez-vous besoin d'établir facilement un canal de communication en ligne véritablement privé et ultra sécurisé avec une ou plusieurs personnes sur votre téléphone ou votre ordinateur? Et ce même si vos communications sont surveillées par vos fournisseurs d’accès, les flics, les services ?
https://briarproject.org
Briar est une application de messagerie libre et gratuite créée par une communauté de bénévoles. Mais qu’est-ce qui la différencie d'autres applications comme Signal ou Telegram, et pourquoi est-elle si sûre?
1. C'est une application peer-to-peer qui n'a pas de serveur central: rien n’est jamais uploadé sur "le cloud". N’oubliez pas : ce qu'on appelle le cloud n'est jamais que l’ordinateur de quelqu’un d’autre. Lorsqu'on envoie un message sur Briar, il est transmis directement de l'appareil de l'expéditeur à l'appareil du destinataire, et si le destinataire est hors ligne, l'appareil de l'expéditeur réitère le message régulièrement jusqu'à ce que le destinataire se connecte.
2. Briar n’a pas nécessairement besoin d’un accès Internet. Si l'expéditeur et le ou les destinataires sont géographiquement proches les uns des autres et qu'il n'y a pas de réseau ou d'internet, Briar peut toujours fonctionner via Wi-Fi ou Bluetooth. Ce qui est utile en manif, par exemple.
3. Votre compte Briar est pseudonyme. Tout ce que vous avez à faire c'est fournir un nom d'utilisateur et un mot de passe. Ni vous ni l’application n’avez connaissance des numéros de téléphone de vos interlocuteurs. Cela vous protège, par exemple, si les téléphones ou les ordinateurs de vos interlocuteurs sont saisis. Pensez, bien évidement, à choisir un identifiant qui ne soit pas évident.
4. Sur Internet, les messages sont réacheminés via le réseau TOR jusqu'à l'appareil du destinataire. Cela rend EXTRÊMEMENT difficile (car rien n’est jamais vraiment impossible) pour le fournisseur d'accès ou les flics de tracer le message et de connecter les adresses IP de l'expéditeur et du destinataire.
5. Tous les messages sont également chiffrés de bout en bout, ce qui les rend illisibles pour un tiers si les paquets venaient à être interceptés sur le réseau.
6. Briar est entièrement open source, ce qui signifie que le code est audité à tout moment par des dizaines de bénévoles du monde entier qui recherchent d'éventuelles failles de sécurité et les solutions pour les faire disparaitre.
Briar est disponible sur Google Play, mais vous pouvez aussi l'installer depuis F-droid si vous ne voulez pas que Google sache que vous l'avez installé sur votre téléphone. Vous pouvez également l'installer directement depuis le site web de Briar à partir d'un fichier .apk.
Que peut faire Briar?
Briar peut envoyer des messages de texte instantanés et vous pouvez également configurer des groupes de discussion et des forums. Briar fonctionne sous Android, Linux, Windows et Mac OS. Il peut également faire office de client RSS afin de partager facilement des articles avec vos contacts.
Qu'est-ce que Briar ne peut pas faire ?
Appels, messages vocaux, vidéos, et transfers de fichiers. Ça reste une application assez frugale qui ne satisfera pas tous vos besoins.
Briar ne fonctionne pas encore sur iOS (mais c'est prévu).
Le projet Briar est également sur Mastodon. Suivez-les et soutenez-les avec une petite pièce si vous pouvez.

Pour ce qui est du fascisme il y a des lignes rouges, des point de non-retour à partir desquels ceux qui sont en mesure de le faire doivent faire des choix dificiles de résistence passive, de désobeissance civile, d'action clandestine, etc., etc., ...
Je veux seulement vous suggérer que c'est le moment de commencer à déterminer ou se trouvent ces diférentes lignes rouges pour vous, mais aussi pour vos amis et vos proches: car ce qui est aujourd'hui une question politique, philosophique et morale deviendra le moment venu une question opérationelle et stratégique. Et ce moment viendra sans prévenir.
- Commencez à en parler aux gens de confiance autour de vous.
- Ne faites pas trop confiance aux gens autour de vous.

Not all the time, but there are many known, frequent operations where basically yes. But we should also design the sewages to facilitate the operations that are known to cause problems. I know the worst one is pressure washing the grates that stops the big chunks. Basically they are pulverizing everything into a mist in a enclosed space.

Oh yes. Sewer workers have high incidences of digestive and respiratory symptoms, and irritations of the nose, throat and skin. There is also an increased frequency of certain infectious diseases. As for the mortality studies, they show a significant excess mortality mainly for liver and lung cancers. They are exposed to a cocktail of chemical and biological agents, including carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic compounds.
When we think of their job we think of piss and poop, but A LOT of chemicals also end up there.

Their other argument is "anarquism can only work on a small scale, you can't maintain a productivist society at a nation's scale".
Well, we don't know: historically every time we began building a society that emancipates men you massacred it before we had a chance to get to the productivism part.
But I'll tell you what: you on the other hand had many ocasions to build productivist societies, and each time you failed to emancipate men in the process.

2024-06-28 04:20:45

- reply

"No one would want to work in the sewages" is their go-to counterpoint to anarchism. The sad part is their conclusion is always that we should strive to design a society that coherces people into working in the sewages, not design sewages that are safely operable.

Actually i was watching their list and it grew A LOT since i suscribed. Maybe too much? There is no real way to know what motivated their decisions, and i never thought of it before but that might be a problem in itself.
Also there is a new rule (i think) that says you can't post any propaganda for a party or a candidate running for elections (anarquist instance), a sentiment i agree with in general terms, but i am a frenchman living in argentina, i went through the election that put Milei in power and we are curently going through the election that will most likely put the national rally at the head of the government in France, so i definitely broke that rule a couple of times.

Gnome is alright. One thing I give them major props for is the ergonomy: how any action can be done eficiently either with only a keyboard or only a mouse. Xfce or LXQT are better for me but they can't do that.
Their desktop paradigm is a big shift and you need ro commit to it at first but honestly it's not as bad as people say.

I use logsec + syncthing and it works allright. Logsec is a diferent take on a "second brain" kind of note taking app from obsidian, and it's also opensource.
