"all you anarchists do is organize book clubs and get into fights with chuds, how are you a proper Leftist movement" was a question I got asked by a pro-state leftist earlier today. so let's talk about the visibility (and invisibility) of anarchist work.

We can disagree on political stuff all day, but you will find this very interesting.
I read it when you previously published it, and i'm personally not a fan of GrapheneOS approach. I was just pointing out posts on /c/privacy should be understandable by people passing by who don't know the whole story, and that you could make a /c/graphenelies community dedicated to this particular story, where no additional context would be required in a post.
There is also a section where one of the Reddit power mods admittedly want Lemmy to stay obscure.
Fun fun fun :)
These people do not merely reside in my brain
Sorry i think you misunderstood me, and i meant no insult. I meant we other Lemmy users who are not in your brain need additional context/info to understand the matter.
As for the work I do, I have been arguably one of the people who have done the most legitimate work in privacy community
So to be clear i was not attacking/diminishing you in any way (or at least did not intend to) and you do not have justify your involvement. Still, thank you for taking part in privacy struggles.
Sounds like a bug. When you turn on debug logging do you see anything specific? (i don't even know if debug logging is a thing in Lemmy ansible setup). Can you maybe also try with another SMTP client like msmtp to see if you can reach your mail server from it? It's possible that some network misconfiguration prevents it, or that your mail provider has blocked your IP/range for some reason.
This is a post about the biggest cult in privacy community witch hunting, and you do not recognise it.
I do recognize it because you talked previously about it. I just don't think it's pertinent to show in this form for people who don't know about the entire story (even i don't know the whole story). I would recommend either to make a community dedicated to this topic, with a stickied thread serving as introduction, or to give more context to your post on the topic. But shitposting random conversations about a topic of interest of yours into random communities is not really cool for people who do not reside in your brain :D
Also, bit of personal advice: you seem really obsessed with this community and story. I think it would do you good to focus on something else... You seem to imply it's a "big" thing but seriously i've never met a single person using GrapheneOS and they only support Google phones so there's no risk it's becoming a big thing any time. Maybe try to get involved in Lineage or /e/OS or PostMarketOS communities? You may help build the mobile distro you wanna see instead of loosing a little bit of your sanity every time the GrapheneOS mods do something. Take care :)
SVGs can be minified after edition, but of course nothing will beat hand-crafted SVGs...
Vector images can be a good fit though! If you can fit a URL in there, a SVG could fit in too :)
From what i can read here default email.tls_type value is "none" and it's not overridden in lemmy-ansible. Maybe try this?
Sorry but i don't understand what this post is doing here:
- it's not about privacy, as it's about subscribing to public posts on public forums (unless this is supposed to raise awareness about why multiple identities/nicknames is important?)
- there's not enough context to understand wtf is going on
I haven't dug into lemmy setup/code yet but "465" sounds like lemmy is trying port 25 and the server says "no no no what are you doing plz use TLS over 465"
There are well known research in gender studies / psychology about for example the cliché that girls are less good for math than boys which is of course complete bullshit.
You don't need to wait 25 years to study that.
Fun fun fun. Where's the source code comrade? :)
Also, can you maybe tell us more about what data set you trained your model with?
@k_o_t@lemmy.ml @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml can we get this thread pinned? i didn't read it all but it looks like decent advice and the question about what's tor and how to use it best comes up frequently
Is this about bending gender roles or about cheering for military institutions who employ women? I'm so to say more comfortable with one option than the other.
PS: For context, the only 2 posts in this sub are propaganda pictures of women soldiers from Russia and some asian (not sure which country) military.
That's also why i love the rust ecosystem. If you have rust installed and have your local dependencies (or only use the standard library), the docs can be generated locally (cargo doc). I certainly remember local manuals helping me out more than once over the years :)
I mean we could be critical of some lyrics, i'm not saying otherwise. But claiming socialism is about supporting war efforts from one of the biggest empires on earth run by an ex-secret-service operative... that's a major shift in direction!
Can we talk about French genocide of Algeria? Or USA’s ongoing genocide of Yemen since many years?
Please do. We've been talking about it for years, but more conversation/information is always welcome.
« Ce Dimanche 27 Février, notre ami Libre Flot a décidé d’entammer une grève de la faim alors qu’il est toujours enfermé et à l’isolement dans la prison de Bois d’Arcy (78). Nous retransmettons (...)
Below, a quick translation of the article:
> This sunday february 27t, our friend Libre Flot [free flow] has decided to start a hunger strike while he is still imprisoned and held in isolation in the prison of Bois d'Arcy. We share a communique from him, to share widely.
WHY I AM ON HUNGEr STRIKE
For more than 14 months i have refuted this infamous and defamatory accusation of criminal/terrorist association.
For more than 14 months, the DGSI [secret services] has told me i was not arrested for what they wanted me to believe, that is my involvement with the armed kurdish forces against Daech in Rojava.
For more than 14 months, nothing validates the theory elaborated out of thin air by the DGSI, despite for at least 10 months being followed, tracked and under surveillance 24/24 in my vehicle, my residence, spied upon even in my own bed.
For more than 14 months i understand that it's my political opinions and my participation with the kurdish forces of YPG in the struggle against Daech that they try to criminalize.
For more than 14 months they accuse 7 persons, who don't even all know one another, of being a criminal association.
For more than 14 months, i have answered the questions of a judge using the same insidious techniques as the DGSI: manipulation, decontextualisation, omission, and invention of words and actions in the attempt to influence answers.
For more than 14 months, i endure the provocations of this same judge who, while i'm rotting in the cages of the Republic, dares to say this case is a waste of his time in the fight against terrorism. Even worse, he dares the most unacceptable insult by refering to the barbarians of the Islamic State as my « friends from Daech ». Although it's only spoken words, it's still an incredible violent act. It's inadmissible that this judge takes the right to insult me in this manner, slanders me, and spits on the memory of my comrades and friends, kurdish, arabs, assyrians, turkmen, aermanians, turks and internationals fallen in the fight against this organization. I remain to this day scandalized!
For more than 14 months, this partial [biased] investigation has seen the judge, contrary to his role, only building a case against, and never in defense. He does not even consider what falls out of the pre-established scenario and only serves to validate a fake personality formed from A to Z by the DGSI, which is far from representing me and only reflects the paranoid fantasies of this political police. Thus, they always present me as « the charismatic leader » despite any non-horizontal mode of organization is contrary to my egalitarian principles.
For more than 14 months, i've been imprisoned without a trial and i've faced terrible conditions: life in isolation (see my letters from March and June 2021) is considered "white torture", an inhumane or degrading treatment by several instances of human rights.
For more than 14 months, i've been buried alive in an infernal and permanent solitude without anyone to talk to, just being able to contemplate the crumbling of my intellectual capacity and the degradation of my physical state, and all of that without benefiting from any psychological support.
After giving under fakely-neutral pretenses some fallacious arguments to the prison administration to ensure i would remain in isolation, the judge asks for rejecting my demand to be released, just like the national anti-terrorist parquet [tribunal]. To this end, they take in almost copy/paste the report from DGSI dated February 7th 2020, the basis for all this case, whose information we don't know where they come from and whose veracity has not been demonstrated. We're entitled to wonder what use were the taps, the surveillance, the microphones, and these two years of investigation since the facts that debunk DGSI's dishonest construction are hidden.
The national anti-terrorist parquet and the judge never cease to try and instill confusion and create conflation with islamic terrorists, although they know quite well i have fought against the Islamic State, for example during the liberation of Raqqa, where the attacks of November 13th [2015] had been planned.
The judge pretends to fear that i inform imaginary people of my situation, despite this situation being public notably because the DGSI or the anti-terrorist parquet themselves have leaked the information from the very first day. It pretends in this manner to prevent any pressure on witnesses, victims and their families, all the while there are no witness, no victim because there is no act. This is crazy. He also mentions his fear of a coordination between the people investigated in this case, even though all these other co-accused have been freed, he has not interrogated anyone beside me since october 2021, and that i waited patiently for him to finish questioning me to push forward my request for liberation.
I could be comical in other circumstances to witness the use of ordinary facts of life in a criminal case against someone such as: enjoying my right to circulate freely across France and Europe, my lifestyle, my political opinions, my sports practices, my taste for militant rap or kurdish music.
The judge attacks my mom by designating her as not being a valid guarantee [that i will not flee], for the simple reason she did not prevent her 33 year-old son to join the Kurdish forces of YPG in the fight against Daech. Once again, it's my participation in this conflict that's being criminalized. They also reproach her to use encrypted apps (Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram...) like millions of people do in France. Finally, he refuses an entire bloc of all other options for guarantees (work, housing...) without having anything to criticize, despite the SPIP [prison and conditional-freedom administration] workers whose job it is, have rendered a positive opinion.
How then can we understand that after asking for investigation of the possibility to free me have underlined the possibility of me wearing an electronic tag, the judge of Freedom and Detention despite this report refuses to implement it? We are many people witnessing in this case that « justice » violates its own laws and is subdued to the political agenda of the DGSI.
I recently learned from the same director of detention in the prison of Bois d'Arcy, who i thank for being honest, that my imprisonment and keeping in isolation were decided from the first day by very high-ranked people and no matter what i say and no matter what he says or do, nothing would change, this is above him, the requests won't even be read and i will remain in isolation and nothing will ever change before the presidential elections [spring 2022].
Since they try to criminalize militants who fought with the Kurds against Daech,
Since they use pre-trial detention in the goal of punishing political opinions,
Since this case only exists for the aim of political manipulation,
Since today they leave me with the only perspective of the slow destruction of my being,
I am declaring i am on hunger strike since sunday february 27th 2022 at 6pm. At this time i only ask for my immediate liberation, before i can prove [in front of a tribunal] the fallacious side of this shameful accusation.
Libre Flot.
> Because our friend Libre Flot still rots in isolation for more than 14 months and he chose to strike back with a hunger strike, let's not leave him alone in this dirty political game. It's now that it's necessary to show our support, by spreading his word and by any means possible!
> We will not wait without reaction for the next elections so that they finally free him!
Who genocided the muslim populations of the USSR? Was it the USA and western colonizers too? Does that ring any bells? From the wikipedia page on Deportation of Chechens and Ingush:
The deportation was prepared from at least October 1943 and 19,000 officers as well as 100,000 NKVD soldiers from all over the USSR participated in this operation. The deportation encompassed their entire nations, as well as the liquidation of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The demographic consequences of this eviction were catastrophic and far reaching: of the 496,000 Chechens and Ingush who were deported (according to Soviet archives; Chechen sources put the deportees at 650,000[1]), at least a quarter perished. In total, the archive records show that over a hundred thousand people died or were killed during the round-ups and transportation, and during their early years in exile in the Kazakh and Kyrgyz SSR as well as Russian SFSR where they were sent to the many forced settlements. Chechen sources claim that 400,000 died, while presuming a higher number of deportees.
Just because western empires are evil does not mean other empires have to be good.
Ukraine would have become Afghanistan 2.0 if NATO was allowed to take over.
Are you saying that western powers were planning a military invasion of Ukraine? This makes no sense, as there was no major military deployment indicating it, nor was there any psyops in the west to mount a narrative justifying such invasion.
Chipmaker has until Friday to comply or see its crown-jewel source code released.
The updated demands:
``` So, NVIDIA, the choice is yours! Either:
–Officially make current and all future drivers for all cards open source, while keeping the Verilog and chipset trade secrets... well, secret
OR
–Not make the drivers open source, making us release the entire silicon chip files so that everyone not only knows your driver's secrets, but also your most closely-guarded trade secrets for graphics and computer chipsets too!
YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY, YOU DECIDE! ```
Will this be the only way to achieve decent hardware support cross-platform? Can't wait for someone to take AMD/Intel managers hostage ;-)
BTW not sure why these people are called cyber-criminals. Sounds like cyber-heroes to me... I mean i don't agree with their motivation (cryptocurrency mining) but they're doing what government regulations should have done a long time ago, which is preventing hardware manufacturers from fucking up life for everyone. (or at least they're trying)
this “laicité” concept, which is often mistranslated as secularism
Hey that's a very good point but you miss some French cultural/political context! Laïcité does exactly mean secularism, and its legal basis means freedom of thought/beliefs for everyone: laïcité was formally established in 1905 when the State was separated from the Church (again and almost finally, except in Alsace/Lorraine where the Catholic Church is still part of the State apparatus for other reasons).
The 1905 law clearly states that the State has no business telling people what to believe or not, that this is a private matter between people. This is the legal basis for laïcité.
But since the 80s, some segments on the far-left and far-right have been involved in transforming the concept in public discourse to target it against muslims. It started with unionized teachers from marxist-leninist organizations (was it FO? not sure anymore) refusing to do classes to veiled schoolgirls, and bringing TV crews to the classroom to embarrass those poor kids. I don't believe at the time it was presented to be in the name of "laïcité".
Then this discourse grew in both New Atheist circles (a subset of the wider anticlerical movement) on the left, as well as in Judeo-Christian conservative groups on the right. Especially after September 11th, this discourse was instrumentalized against muslims by building a narrative that veiled girls are supporters of terrorism or that they advocate for Shariah, or that they're submitted to Male authority. Many outlets even made parallels to Afghanistan or Algeria, but we're talking about kids who grew up here (for the vast majority), only speak French, and have no ties or clue to what's happening around there. As for male domination, there's a few blind spots in this argument:
- it's just a piece of cloth?! you can be abused/dominated by men with or without any external sign for it
- if you truly believe the girls are being abused and they need to get help, how does it help to ban them from public schools so they remain in their bubbles?
- in many parts of the world France has colonized, women either held power or had a history of it (for example, Kahina in amazigh regions of North Africa is becoming a symbol again in the new struggles for Kabyl independence)
- women to this day in France are struggling to have their basic rights preserved (against police abuse and power/sexual abuse in the workplace and in education), no matter their religion (see also Me Too movement)
- men telling women what to do (or not to do) framed as a feminist argument, really? how is French police officers (male) asking a woman to undress any different from Iranian police officers (male) asking a woman to dress up?
- in particular in the western world, the "sexual liberation" movement of the 60s has given birth to a new norm/dogma where women must be sexually available for men to enjoy in the name of sexual freedom (where the veil is seen as an obstacle to sexual availability): this has been greatly described in Ovidie's documentary À quoi rêvent les jeunes filles?
Starting with Sarkozy, this new formalized islamophobia was given a legal basis, which reused some discourse about laïcité but amended it so much that it completely lost the spirit. The new texts, instead of saying that the State must be neutral in faith/religious matters, says that agents of the State and public services must not promote religion in any way: this led to the ban of religious signs from public servants (which may or may not have been illegal before, but was certainly not enforced), which was then extended more broadly, for example for parents accompanying children on school trips. And more recently, it's given birth to the complete hysteria about "burkini" and other non-sensical racist "controversies".
All along, this was anti-muslim racism. It actually predates the situation i just described: colonization in much of the world (including french colonies) was often framed as a humanitarian intervention against uncivilized (male) barbarians hurting their poor women (which some political commenters have dubbed "white men saving brown women from brown men"). For example at the height of the colonial war in Algeria (1950s-1960s), the French government was organizing mass unveiling campaign (see this poster with the message: "aren't you pretty? unveil yourself").
Frantz Fanon has explained in great lengths how the colonial enterprise must destroy any sense of belonging or cultural identity in the colonized in order to succeed. I strongly recommend (all of) his books. If you speak french, Un racisme à peine voilé ("A thinly-veiled racism") is a documentary from 2004 which goes to great lengths to explain the rise of the anti-veil sentiment in schools since the 80s. It's a bit dated and does not account for the most recent racist developments but is still very much on-point.
One last point to conclude: newer, restrictive laws on "laïcité" (against religious signs) do not apply in practice to christians and jews, and even less so to minority religions whose religious signs bigots are unable to recognize. It's not uncommon to see public servants (including teachers) wearing christian crosses, despite the law saying otherwise.

Version longue en français: https://www.bortzmeyer.org/coupure-russie.html
Several ISPs in France have started censoring rt.com via their DNS resolver.
Why are they doing this? I guess officially they'll say it's because of Russian propaganda about Ukraine, and that's partially correct.
But also worth pointing out is that despite very uncritical propaganda from the regime about what happens in Russia, RT is one of the only mass media (non-independent publication) where you can have decent news about social uproar in France (gilets jaunes, anti-police-abuse riots, etc).
We haven't reached the point where posts to RT are censored on social media (where it's most popular) so i can't exactly say we have "one side" to the news yet but it's getting closer.
This message is both a fuck you to french ISPs engaging in censorship (remember Sci-Hub? TPB?) and a reminder to all the Putin fanboys around here what "there's only one side to the news" really means: Russia is already there (there's a few independent publications but they've been struggling for years with State censorship and journalist assassinations) and France is getting closer (on the other side of the narrative). The rest of you who live in countries with more free speech can't even realize what information control means so please don't take these words lightly.
Russia and China have been historically the main protagonists against Nazism
That's not wrong. I'm just pointing out both also have their history of ethnic cleansing and cultural supremacy. And i'm also pointing out that just because some structure did something good a while ago doesn't mean they can't do something bad (and vice-versa), especially given the major political changes there were since 1945 all around the world.
You aid English Fascism, and that isbclear from the Lithuania link you use to smear Russia.
Please get educated. You seem to indicate either that the top-level domain of a domain domain, or a specific language, is an indicator of State-sponsored propaganda: that makes no fucking sense. And if you want me to post more links about neo-fascism in Russia, i'll gladly put up a compilation tomorrow when i find the time :)
I am not sure how true that is because I don’t know much about Russia.
Thanks for acknowledging this, the discussion on Lemmy would be easier if we started from this (honest) point rather than spewing propaganda from every side. Please note i also know relatively little about Russia: what i know i know from ex-USSR political refugees i've met throughout my life so i've got close to zero academic knowledge but plenty of anecdotes and homebrew political analysis (from an anarchist perspective).
You could say that Russia being a capitalist country is maybe not idealogically opposed to fascism but use the history of the Great Patriotic War for nationalistic purposes.
That's precisely what i'm saying. If you follow the links in my original post (two of which are written by russian collectives) they'll even argue that Putin's is a direct fuel of both neo-nazism (there were, i don't know if it's still the case today with this new State narrative, government support toward neo-nazi groups) and a revival of Russian fascism (Putin has given a lot of power to the orthodox church).
If you'd like to read more from both russian/ukranian perspective on the topics of neo-nazism and fascism on both sides (Ukraine/Russia government), i strongly recommend the articles published on crimethinc.com since mid-february.
But equating Ukraine which glorifies Nazis and had neo-Nazis brought to power in the 2014 coup seems like a false equivalence to me.
There is a symbolic difference: Neo-nazism is a reverence to Hitler and his specific ideology, but fascism is an evolving beast and can take many forms. You don't need swastikas or antisemitism to obtain fascism. In this sense, fascism is very much alive and well on both sides of the border.
Let's take another example: France has strong laws against nazism and racial discrimination, but they are never applied. France is a deeply racist country with structural racism at play on many levels. That leads to contradictions like Eric Zemmour: the guy was paid to be every day on public television spewing hatred (against women, against muslims, etc). It only stopped a few years back when he was condemned for encouraging we deport all muslims from France (suggesting "it's been done before" in reference to Hitler and the jews), yet the next week he found a very comfortable spot appearing every day on a private channel. The guy is now a candidate for presidency who like Trump back in the day all media advertise for. This guy is a pure product of French society, which on paper is supposed to stand for the opposite.
France is supposed to be anti-racist, but glorifies racist police abuse, or figures like Christopher Columbus or Jules Ferry. The law tells us little about actual political context somewhere. The situation is rude for antifascists both in Ukraine and in Russia, and i personally stand in support of them both against their respective government.
I feel like a lot of these people are just marxism gone wrong. Add a pinch of stalinism, and a bit of leninist/trotskyist discourse, and what you have is uncritical support on any tyrannical power that's not the USA/UK. In the real world, in the unions and in the squats, we call these people fascists (of the red-brown kind because they use red words to promote fascism).
I mean, just imagine going to your union comrades and saying invading a sovereign country is justifiable in the name of socialism. You'll get weird looks and nervous laughter. If you add the bit about the persons leading the invasion are siding with oligarchs and having privatized the entire country since the USSR collapsed, you'll get called a scab and may come home with a few bruises.

Dear Lemmy, as you may well be aware, racial hierarchies and colonial empires are doing good in these early 2020s. In particular, in the days of the war in Ukraine, it's important to point out the fascist tendencies at play.
Fascism and racial/cultural hierarchies are on the rise on every continent, from Turkey to Brasil, to China, to France, to India... Fuck all Nations! Destroy all borders, and long live autonomous Communes!

On the Ukraine side of things, there's a bunch of neo-nazis in the army, as well as more traditional nationalists/fascists. It's not exactly a secret, and the former president was very close to these circles:
!Photo montage with ukrainian neo-nazis
On the Russian side of things, there's also a bunch of neo-nazis in the army as well as traditional nationalists/fascists. It's not exactly a secret either:
!Russian military officer with a nazi eagle
Both governments have long fought against popular movements and anarchist/antifascist networks. Both countries have neo-nazi/fascist militias parading down the streets and beating/killing random people. Just like France or USA have them too.
Don't trust me? Check out the wikipedia page on neo-nazism. Follow their sources and make yourself an opinion. It's very instructive, although very incomplete. I definitely recommend to check out the Racism in Ukraine and Racism in Russia pages, too.
Please remember that when you try to paint one side of a conflict as the good anti-nazi hero. Nazis are fucking everywhere. Fascists and nazis have been running the show in much of the world even after WWII ended. Nazi collaborators were responsible for France's war against the algerian people, and their grandchildren (spiritual or biological) are responsible for today's new repression, wars and genocides.
We need to dismantle nazism and fascism at its root: the nation State and cultural supremacy. Yes, you should be proud of your local culture and land. No, that does not justify diminishing other cultures/lands.
All we exploited/struggling people have to stand in solidarity with other people struggling for freedom and equality across the planet. No border divides us in the international socialist/anarchist movement. We will fight against all Empires for autonomous communities worldwide!
