The fucking Nazis complain that some tech companies are dragging their feet to implement Septemberprogramm for them.

Climate as casualty of endless war.

Please, please, please consider organising off Facebook. Really. It's not snobbery. It's really dangerous to people who use their legal names to use Facebook for organising.

@Antanicus Fascists attacking immigrants day in, day out should have been a more powerful indicator. They don't care about books anymore. Every important book written in history is available for free to anyone able in the western world. Nobody reads them.

Fascists are ahead of the curve taking new territories and the left worries about irrelevant things all the time, acting like the law and enlightenment still matter to fascists.

Fascists are at war, this is not a drill.

As we approach a future when computing power will begin to finally be truly democratised, I don't see where capitalist art and entertainment leads other than complete atomisation and partitioning of mainstream culture into a million schools of thought, and derived cultures originating from existing tribes.
Say for example, there would be nothing preventing a myriad communities of Trans and Queer people from producing their own art and entertainment that matters to them.

Facebook has been omnipresent this week, and Zuckerberg asking forgiveness from wise old men of Congress is a distant memory.

These bits stand out:

- FB applies to patent a face recognition system that ranks you matching your social media activity with your buyer profile in shops.

- FB prepares to launch its own satellites

- Zuckerberg says it's not for FB's to do anything about "Holocaust deniers" (euphemism for Nazis)

“No government fights fascism to destroy it. When the bourgeoisie sees that power is slipping out of its hands, it brings up fascism to hold onto their privileges.”

- Buenaventura Durruti

If you like Pink Floyd, you probably have listened to most of their catalogue and this may not be of practical use to you, but it's still interesting that they have been uploading all their best works to Youtube in the last week. In the case of songs for which a music video was produced, that has been placed in playlists in lieu of the audio-only rendition.

Somebody make it happen on Peertube?

Here's The Dark Side of the Moon, for example

Apple's San Francisco "free" font download is a work of art. Not because of the quality of the typography but because of the intellectual property engineering they've devised, comparable to the pyramids of Gizah to make it impossible to use in systems other than Apple's. Curiously, I may be able to reverse engineer it under the law of the jurisdiction where I live.

@edgecontrol Tienen solución, pero no la quieren usar porque en caso de desalojarlo, estarían perdiendo control del poder ellos mismos.
Son exactamente la misma basura tanto ellos como los Demócratas, con ligeras variaciones estéticas y retóricas.

Possible archaeological discovery in Meath, Ireland described as 'very significant'.
The henge, which could measure up to 200 metres in diameter, is believed to have been built some 500 years after the Newgrange site, around 3000 BC.

Going fully neoliberal on IP supremacy, EU Parliament sets out to implement DRM system for 3D-printing

@iona I like the Jazz Manouche channel on Jazz Radio (France),
http://www.jazzradio.fr/radio/webradio/10/jazz-manouche

That's just one of the 32 streams (they call them "les webradios") airing music around the clock. Not all of it strictly jazz, but variations of folk, soul, funk, etc. There's one for everyone.

@mike_hales @mako

Free Software needs many things, such as a focus on diversity, a more deliberate way to fund itself without depending on corporatism, and increased interest in other human factors like accessibility.

I believe that coops can be helpful to deliver improvements on those fronts.

@mako @mike_hales Free Software was built to free people from their shackles. Free Software was almost exclusively built by Free Software people. It would be a good thing if people arrived into the world of Free Software with humble aspirations to learn how the Free Software collaborative mode of production came into being in its 30+ years of existence, and undeniable success.

@mike_hales @mako Most coop people don't understand software, let alone Free Software. Most Free Software people don't understand coops. The intersection of these two groups is tiny, but hopefully growing.

What I would like to see would be more people interested in learning, and less people trying to impose their very particualr views on the other camp.

The implied assumption that Free Software projects can't possibly stay honest is indicative that a lot more work is needed.

Centrist fundamentalists are the new President Hindenburg.

There is no civil way to condone the practice of putting children in concentration camps.

Fuck centrists for protecting Nazis from accountability.

Shithub, Medium, and Twitter are protecting fascists from the dissemination of publicly available information.

Seize the means of memorisation.
