"Tim Walz calls out ‘damn lie’ that he’s in the pocket of labor unions," reported The Independent recently. What fascinates me about liberals who still claim representative democracy is the best and only system, is the fact that on one hand, professional politicians allegedly represent the working classes through being elected to government, but God forbid they represent the working classes who are organised collectively via unions. An incredible giveaway to what the state truly protects: power -- over the people. independent.co.uk/news/world/a… #union #unions

Back when I was more of a democratic socialist, I rarely met an anarchist who cared to actually articulate what anarchism was, as though they enjoyed it being this tiny little club; cool and edgy. It took me years to actually find out for myself what it actually was, which is what folks like David Graeber explained it as: believing human beings are capable of behaving in a reasonable fashion without having to be forced to. Tangible examples are non-hierarchical mutual aid, direct democracy where communities literally decide for themselves, cooperating rather than competing with other communities in a decentralised network, providing resources from those according to their ability to others according to their need, and so forth. Anarchism isn't chaos; it's order without power.

Conversely, capitalism has brought us chaos, corruption, and terror, based on the power of a few over the many, while the state concentrates power into a small group of professional politicians who are expected to represent us better than we could ever represent ourselves, which of course is utterly absurd, not least because - as Graeber put it - "Power corrupts and those who spend their entire lives seeking power are the very last people who should have it."

Der DB Navigator entspricht auch in der neuen Version 24.26.0 nicht den Anforderungen der #DSGVO und des #TDDDG. Klage läuft - leider dauert alles (viel) zu lange. 😔

@ksp1968 Abgesehen vom Kontrollieren, gibte s ja auch Apps wie #Blokada, die als Trackingblocker agieren (auf DNS-Ebene aber technisch bedingt). Dazu habe ich nix in der Empfehlungsecke gefunden?




I met @davidgasquez, and his ideas for funding models of data infrastructure + work with open data in Web3 fascinated me. So, I interviewed him :). Read the transcript to find out how he makes $10k a year running open data portals as open-source projects: heltweg.org/posts/meta-data-1-… #OpenData #OpenSource #Blockchain

AI met fruit fly, and a better brain model emerged


A virtual version of a fruit fly’s visual system could help scientists understand how brain networks process information. The model could also lead to more efficient AI systems.

Hey, #linux bubble, when I use my #bluetooth headset, why do I have to choose between decent audio quality and having the microphone be available?

I can't use the integrated microphone when using an A2DP sink, but if I use an HSP/HSF sink the microphone works but my audio quality sucks.

#Android doesn't seem to have this issue, or if it does, it switches between these so smoothly that I've never noticed.

Any workarounds/solutions for this would also be welcome.
