the protests in were largely ignored in german mass media. the flood catastrophe came in handy to have an excuse to ignore it.

meanwhile journalists here are wondering why nobody trusts them anymore. associated press and reuters had something about the protests, the agencies from where our outlets usually just copy verbatim. it seems that if it doesn't fit the narrative it's just ignored here that 100k are protesting.

a decent surprise was deutschlandfunk where it was in the news, but this is a programme only a tiny minority listens to (deutschlandfunk.de/frankreich-)

hunter thompson was more objective than most german journalists.

@fribbledom @eris nope. as a system programmer with 20+ years of experience I assure you: dbus and useless-d are total crap and terrible misuse of resources and generic try of Red Rat to take control over the open source development. that's why I especially recommend to keep out of any of their "improvements", unless you want to get discovered of an inseparable corporate hook in your arse system one fine day.
I can advice for suckless software, for brutality web design, for light and fast web protocols like gemini, for p2p applications networks and many more things that can help us to get rid of da Big Brother in our old good open source. and their doubtful "help".

Another thing he learned from porn was details were so important. Like a woman who was trying to act like a teen, it was a lot better if it was obvious that she had taken the time to research an actual 18 year old having sex on video. There is just a bunch of subtle things going on. So it's not fair to judge her by standard cinema. She's good at what she does. She may not be a Meryl Streep. But she is good at conveying the fantasy. Also he liked a sparkle of intelligence in a porn girl's eyes.

As Rosenberg wrote in his work "live with your values, if you don't you alienate yourself" the issue with "society" is that people believe that they don't have choice and make the choice to go against what they believe in a lot of cases.
And in most cases it's because of work, "we aren't competitive enough" "this is what the market asks for" "not my problem" etc.... Society relies on people who willingly work and share the same goals/culture, globalism has ended that and created a homogeneous way of work that is anti-human.

A "podcast" behind a paywall is not a podcast.

A "podcast" that only one app can receive is not a podcast.

A "podcast" without a public feed that can be freely pulled into any podcast client or RSS reader is not a damn podcast, don't let people get away with calling it that.

Computer Science towards sustainable permacomputing

Computer Science which assumes everyone lives in VR in the future

it's still a dictatorship, i know. the west isn't really going to be much better if we continue with the bullshit currently done, namely reduction of freedom in every direction.

on the other hand, the embargos may well be what enables the level of autonomy they have. can't get your stuff spoiled by ultracaplitalist bullshit if you are embagoed.

i always wonder how cuba would fare if they'd be not under constant bullshit embargo from the west. they are probably doing something right, given how well their health system works under these circumstances and compared to similar countries.
