[Video] Massive "Red-Line" demonstration in The Netherlands yesterday, advocating for sanctions against Israel. Video shows the start to the end of the marching line
  • You have a system that is mostly based on gentlemans agreements from a time when most of them were slave traders/owners.

    Similar to the British system, if a cunt gets into power, there's no real safeguards against them acting cuntishly because it's a system based on gentlemen agreements amongst the descendants of the Norman aristocracy

  • No jail time for B.C. man with ‘relatively modest’ child porn collection, judge rules
  • Despite pleading guilty to the charges, Keenan maintained that he is not sexually attracted to children, and had only stumbled upon the child pornography in 2017 while “searching for other images such as sunsets and beaches,”

    In all the time I've been online (early to mid 90s), I've only encountered CSAM once & that was browsing 4chan back between 2005 to 2008 when arseholes did a flood of one of the boards & I went on a major sanitisation of my machine.

    Never have I encountered it "in the wild" nor when looking for images such as "sunsets and beaches".

    Jail the guy for a long time and put the judge in a neighbouring cell.

  • Isreali commandos taking Gaza-bound aid ship, Madleen, to Isreal
  • While Netanyahu has been a shit stain on the world stage for the last +25 years, getting rid of him alone will not stop the violent zionist settler colonial project. It existed before he was born and will continue unless the root cause is fully understood.

  • Should there be a law mandating all AI generated content be tagged?
  • No, just legislate that all AI companies have to publish every single source they used for their training models and proof they have permissions/licenses to do so. If its later shown that they used a source and didnt list it, they can be fined & sued for a % of the companies revenue.

    Then all the copyright holders of those sources then sue the AI companies for infringement/retrospective licenses.

  • Inside a phone smuggled out of North Korea
  • Considering that the bbc is not a very trustworthy media outlet, I view them reporting this with the same incredulity of all the maga cried going on about Hunter Bidens laptop.

    Not to say I don't think PRNK isn't an authoritarian regime but all the things they claim about that phone are the kind of malware that Western agencies use all the time.

  • Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Releases Statement on Israel and Gaza
  • You can watch the TRNSMT festival back in 2017 where he was giving the middle finger to people with Palestinian flags so he's always been a zionist apartheid apologist piece of shit.

    He's doing the same thing as Bernie Sanders with the "Netanyahu is the bad guy so if they get rid of him, the violent settler colonial project will be viewed in a much better light"

  • Israeli foreign minister says arms embargoes will lead to 'second Holocaust' and end of Israel
  • Go educate yourself on how Israel came into being in the first place.

    It wasn't through peacefully asking Palestinians to share the land but by three groups, who gleefully wore the title of "terrorists" that bombed & killed their way into terrifying the populace.

    It wasn't the Palestinians that planted a bomb in the King David Hotel that killed 96 in 1947. It wasn't Palestinians that carried out atrocities such as throwing babies into ovens in Deir Yassin and Tantura.

    Israel was born out of collaboration with colonisers & imperialists, through selling out other Jews who opposed zionism, through a thousand acts of indiscriminate terrorism against the indigenous population and through an apartheid system since.

    Bbbbbut what about October 7th?!!!

    It's history equivalence is the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising but Israel ain't the oppressed fighting back.

  • In the UK, if I opened a page that had CSAM on it but closed it as soon as I realised without opening the images, the fact that my browser has cached that page (with thumbnails) means I'm in possession & could be prosecuted.

  • Israel Accuses UK of Antisemitism Over Sanctions Threat | Novara Media
  • The UK have literally done fuck all though & this threat of sanctions is lip service to public opinion (+400,000 marched through London last weekend but you'd never know from British media!).

    David Lammy, the foreign secretary said that he had suspended 29 of the 300+ arms contracts to ensure they wouldn't be used against civilians in Gaza.

    He didn't specify our give any details about those contacts, just a vague bit of handwaving.

    Now we know that the UK has flown+600 surveillance flights over Gaza since October 7th (from the still colonised Cyprus) & have passed that intel to the Israelis.

    The state never does anything willingly & when it dies stood like this, it's purely performative.

  • Sharon Osbourne calls for Kneecap's work visa to be revoked after pro-Palestine messaging at Coachella
  • Shes the daughter of one of the biggest rock managers and her own company had a roster of significant artists so shes definitely independently wealthy.

    Shes from a privileged background (despite her dad being abusive and her mum trying to kill her a few times) and thinks that entitles her to tell other people how to behave. Maybe she should have focused on her own kids a bit more seeing how problematic they were.

  • Sharon Osbourne calls for Kneecap's work visa to be revoked after pro-Palestine messaging at Coachella
  • Kneecaps response was succinct and to the point:

    In an email to Rolling Stone, band member Mo Chara wrote, "Her rant has so many holes in it that it hardly warrants a reply but she should listen to ‘War Pigs’ that was written by Black Sabbath."

  • Muslim scholars issue 'fatwa' calling for 'jihad' against Israel as strikes pummel Gaza
  • They've been happening already

    My current system

    Just found & joined Lemmy and so want to add to it by starting a community on a favourite (time & money consuming!) hobby: modular synthesis.

    This is my current system although I'm currently building a Befaco Hexmix, Robaux LL8 and a Sonic Potions Penrose quantizer.

    I have a new case arriving next month that's portable so once we can go outside and congregate again, I'm going to look at playing some shows (if I actually have any music and haven't just disappeared down a noise rabbit hole!)

    ---------------

    2 years on and the system looks like this:

    ! !

    Another case by Case From Lake and plenty of modules that I managed to acquire through luck such as the ACL Sinfonion for £750!

    I'll have to go through my ModularGrid page to update my racks there and post them
