@hemlockcookie congratulations, well done! 🎉
@erikdelareguera you make a good point.
Usually the phrase "Israel has the right to defend itself" is used to justify things Israel is doing, even when innocent people get killed.
But in this case:
"Israel has the right to defend itself... against journalists"?
That does not seem convincing. They really should give access to journalists.
@neil I'd be hugely disappointed if the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto turned out to be such a clown.
@johansaxe ja jag kan rekommendera den här boken, väldigt intressant.
En sak han skriver om är att det var brist på meningsfulla alternativ i Tyskland på den tiden. Det fanns liksom inte två sidor där nazisterna var den ena, utan det fanns nazisterna och sen fanns det mest en oklar passivitet i övrigt.
Det kan jag känna igen lite i nutiden, att det saknas någon som med eftertryck säger att vi ska faktiskt ha ett fritt samhälle och att frihet är bra och något att vara stolt över.
@jonaslarsson neeeeeeej! de har funnits i hela mitt liv ju. tror jag
Today came news of a local politician for that party having an "Adolf" tatoo: https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/sd-politikerns-tatuering-adolf-i-runskrift-lamnar-sina-uppdrag
I'm disgusted by this, and also amazed: how can the current government fail to see that the whole thing looks really, really bad?
I mean, just the optics of it. Even if you want to throw away human rights and establish an authoritarian state, surely you must see that it looks bad to do it together with nazis? It's so wrong and so ugly.
How do these people think?

Now, in Sweden, we have similar proposals from the current government, backed by the "Sweden democrats", a party founded by nazis and other fascist-leaning people.
The government is proposing increased surveillance, violating citizens' right to privacy, and letting the police stop and search people for "looking suspicious" or wearing the wrong kind of clothes.
All cheered on by the founded-by-nazis "Sweden democrats" party.

About the Reichstag fire in 1933: "Only the morning after did I read about the fire in the parliament building, and not until noon did I hear about the arrests [people sent to concentration camps]. Around that time came the order abolishing the freedom of opinion and the secrecy of correspondence for private citizens and giving the police unlimited rights to [search, arrest, etc]"
Those were obvious steps for the nazis then, in 1933, when establishing their dictatorship.

Reading "A German man's history" (Geschichte eines Deutschen) or "Defying Hitler", written by Sebastian Haffner in 1939 about the decades leading up to the Nazis coming to power.
Made me think about current Swedish politics. #svpol

@nixCraft what do you mean by "restore time"?

@dos Great talk, and above all impressive work getting to the bottom of that issue!
Thanks for mentioning my contribution regarding reproducing it (at about 15 minutes into the talk). It was this https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux/-/issues/303#note_222036 and this https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux/-/issues/303#note_225396
Lots and lots of testing and recompiling kernels with different extra debug printouts behind that. 😅
Also this Factually episode on the Gaza war is extremely good. https://overcast.fm/+BBanT7BaT0
@hehemrin jag tycker att posten borde bli bättre på att leverera brev snabbt, inte sämre! Kanske skickas inte lika många brev som förr men det är ingen ursäkt, posten är fortfarande viktig infrastruktur som behöver finnas och som behöver fungera bra, snabbt och pålitligt.
