The earthquake that hit Lisbon in 1755 toppled buildings and shook the foundations of the #Enlightenment.
Was God punishing humanity, or was the disaster man-made?

Xerrada d'Embat a Lleida
Dia 19 de Novembre a les 18:30 a la Biblioteca Anarquista Maria RiusLes formes d'organització ha estat una qüestió central dins l'anarquisme des del seu naixement.
Com aconseguim generar la força social suficient per vèncer un sistema que ho té tot a la seva disposició per dominar-nos? De quina forma ens articulem per tal de lluitar?
Sabem que el fi no justifica els mitjans, al contrari, els mitjans condicionen el fi. Per tant, és clau trobar formes organitzatives que no reprodueixin allò que combatem al temps que funcionen amb la suficient eficiencia com per mantenir el combat.
En aquesta xerrada explicarem la nostra posició al respecte d'alguns d'aquests debats. Parlarem de què és el dualisme organitzatiu, d'alguns dels nostres referents (com la plataforma o l'especifisme), així com d'exemples de com han funcionat algunes organitzacions anarquistes en el passat, i com funcionem nosaltres ara. -
Americans are strange...
The last time Americans went to war for good reasons It was World War II
later they were sent to fight wars for 'politics' and greed...
For almost 50 years you have stood up to a devious and cruel enemy
(the #Russians)
and today your #POTUS kneels to THAT enemy, and betrays ALL your Allies.
And the Americans?
they watch.... without doing anything. -
To USians, VOTE if you haven't already. To the rest of the world, wish us luck at stemming the tide of fascist lunacy.

Once, trying to be a good friend, I agreed to meet a guy in an obvious pyramid scheme for lunch to "hear him out" after my friend had got wrapped up in it. I spent the whole lunch questioning how it wasn't a pyramid scheme and at the end I said goodbye and that I wasn't interested and both the friend and the person who'd made him his mark were obviously super irritated that I wasn't a moron. I had fulfilled my promise but nobody was happy.
If you are wondering, yes, the friend in question never made back any of the money he "invested" and we ended up drinking the energy drinks he was hawking ourselves.

💔 I am exhausted from fighting every day just to keep my children alive. My husband lost his foot in the war, I suffer from chronic thyroid disease, and Hamza and Jouri depend on me completely. I have no income and no strength left to keep asking. Please, don't ignore our suffering. 🙏

I had lost my gpg private key sometime year back, so this yubikey was only one able to sign things.
Now to do weird exercise of creating new gpg key without single cross sign and asking people to trust me lol.
I'll hopefully manage to do some level of cross signing at FOSDEM to establish my connection to web of trust.

It is granola day, the day I fire up the oven and make a month worth of granola for my morning cereal. Ingredients: oats, almonds, walnuts, pepitas, ground flax seed, applesauce, honey. I used to put unsweetened coconut, but that's totally empty calories so I stopped. These days, I'm using Trader Joe's pumpkin spice pepitas, which are already roasted, salted, and sweetened. I reduce the honey and add them after the baking is done. Comes out very good!

Don't misconstrue this as pro-AI, but there is an ethical inconsistency I find troubling when people argue we mustn't use AI because of its many harms . Those harms I don't deny, but if you rely solely on whether something causes harm for its ethicalness, then you'd have to avoid a lot more than just AI to be consistent.
The use of any product or service perpetuates harm somewhere. E.g., you could buy the most repairable phone, but exploitative and pollutive mining and factories were still needed. You could argue that a phone or a car is required to have in today's society, but that's not really true; it's not logically impossible to go without a phone or a car, it's just difficult.
Seemingly the only ethically consistent lifestyle is to live like a hermit in the wilderness. I can't find middle ground between that extreme and the other extreme of mindless consumerism, that's self consistent. 😕 Thoughts?

Мои друзья, которые давно живут в США - примерно так и думают:
"Если демократы покажут ожидаемые результаты на сегодняшних промежуточных выборах в США, шампанское будет открываться по всей Европе. Но тем, кто поднимает бокал, стоит подумать о том, что будет после выборов.
Перехват контроля над Конгрессом демократами вряд ли принесет Европе немедленное облегчение. Ограниченный внутри страны, Трамп все равно сможет сосредоточиться на внешней политике и торговле, где исполнительная власть США сталкивается с относительно небольшим контролем со стороны Конгресса, что увеличивает риск новых споров и ужесточения требований к Европе".

I'm guessing a combination of stupid American date format and #AI has infiltrated the #HSL public transport comms team. I get an email from them saying (in English):
"Come and experience the world’s most beautiful archipelago tram route on 11 July!"
Except they mean 7th November (ie. 7.11 everywhere in the world, except in the US, which their AI translator is probably set to).
I was confused for some time about why they'd advertise something for next summer!

I just received a job application (I’m not recruiting for anything). It read weirdly, like the applicant really thought a job was advertised but couldn’t specify what it was. I looked at the email headers, the domain points to “your AI career agent” which, for a monthly fee, “finds and applies for real jobs”. It seems to have hallucinated the entire vacancy, so I’d say that’s not off to a great start.

I even showed up at my polling place with my anti-Switch so I'd have something to do while I waited in line.
There were only three voters when I arrived and two more came in while I voted. In Oklahoma, I'm kinda hoping this means the MAGA voters in OK are sitting it out in the state this year.
