Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

Hi again folks 👋

As some of you may have noticed, we're experiencing another spam wave. Although a content reporting feature was merged into Forgejo very recently (https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/6977 🎉 ), they didn't make it to Codeberg like some other improvements.

Here's how you can help for now: Just tag @moderation in a reply (or e-mail moderation@codeberg.org), and we will get around to removing all of an account's issues.

Bullshit and fraud are the Trump regime's touchstones, so it's not even a tiny surprise to learn that RFKjr's "Make America Healthy Again” report cites bogus "studies" and lies about real ones.

Fine reporting from Notus, a news site you probably hadn't heard about.

Getting our people out to talk and spread the word and community of Veilid costs money.

We want to keep doing this work, and want to spread the word of a a safer more privacy centric network experience.

But we need your help.

Veilid exists, and new tools keep coming online, but getting the word out is critical.

Here is our fundraiser. Every dollar made will go directly to Veilid Foundation.

Help us continue to get the word out globally.

You may ask, why are you still doing fundraisers?

Because we don’t do this with Venture Capital. We have gotten this far…Punk AF, one T-shirt as a time.

We don’t accept enshittified dollars. Yes, there have been offers.

We do this grassroots and how we see as righteous. No sellout.

The revolution will not be monetized.

Ok #Fediverse: if I was keen to set up an Aotearoa-based tech services #cooperative, what coop models would people suggest I look at - looking for good descriptions of how they'd be set up, especially to recognise the contributions of those involved. All insights appreciated!

The difficult truth is that since the Microsoft takeover, GitHub has evolved into a near-totally automated vast human labour exploitation apparatus, that holds coders to ransom through their legacies and professional dependence upon it. They built up coder morale and buy-in on the back of a rhetoric and culture of openness and collaboration (and great tooling) only to quietly work to implement the very machinery that ultimately threatens that same culture, its openness and warmth.

“The idea that the police are actively tracking the location of women they believe have had self administered abortions under the guise of ‘safety’ does not make me feel any better about this kind of surveillance,” EFF’s @evacide told @404mediaco. https://www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-searched-license-plate-cameras-nationwide-for-a-woman-who-got-an-abortion/

“I may be free from Angola, but Angola will never be free of me.”
Happy early birthday to Robert King of the Angola Three. King spent 31 years in prison—29 in solitary—for a crime he didn’t commit. Since his release in 2001, he’s been a powerful voice against the prison industrial complex and for the freedom of all political prisoners. Check out King’s autobiography, From the Bottom of the Heap, here: https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=506

Five years ago today, after Minneapolis police murdered George Floyd, demonstrators forced them to abandon the Third Precinct and set it on fire—a profound act of solidarity and faith in the possibility of social change.

This account describes how they did it:

Not long after, a Newsweek poll found that fully 54% of those questioned believed the burning of the Minneapolis Police Precinct was justified after George Floyd’s killing.

At that time, Joe Biden was polling around 46% and Donald Trump at 38%.

Never let them tell you resistance can't be popular.

What connects a Mohawk kid diving into the river at Kanehsatake with Palestinian boys leaping into the Mediterranean in Acre?

Joy.
Freedom.
Resistance.

This short scene from our upcoming film A Red Road to the West Bank draws a line between two colonized lands, two childhoods, and one shared spirit: claiming moments of life, even when the world tries to take them away.
