  In other news: “Cleaning up Leonardo’s Last Supper fresco from the wall of Milan’s Cenacolo would cost taxpayers millions“. How does it sound when a work of art is put on the same level as an act of vandalism? No taxpayer with a bit of brains would put the works of #Banksy at the same level as a graffiti depicting a crude dick. And yet this is how some press wants to depict them. As acts of vandalism that cost taxpayers money because of the costs to clean them up. Future historians and art...

  Security, terrorism and migration are the magic words used by the reactionary political right all around the world. You keep repeating them like a mantra, and they can justify everything. Forced repatriations, extra-judicial arrests, suspensions of international treaties, of the rule of law, of freedom of movement, of freedom of speech. Fascists don’t even have to mention exactly why such extreme measures are required. A fascist can just say that it’s for “security reasons”, and to defend th...

  The creed and ideological dogmas of #Zionism have become indistinguishable from those of fascism. Zionist hate no longer targets only Muslims or obvious antisemitic targets, but also Jews themselves blamed of not being “Jewish enough” to support an uncompromisingly supportive stance towards the genocidal Zionist entity. The trend of labelling liberal or left-wing Jewish as “not real Jews” is an act of pure fascist ideological hate - socialists in Italy were also described as “unpatriotic Itali...

  You know what’s the dumbest thing about Adam Howard a.k.a. LinuxIsBest or any of the dozens of accounts he created? His insistence that he’s actually providing useful added value to the community. He complained about all the requests to take down his list of GazaVerified accounts because “it’s censorship!” His “people must know!” anti-censorship approach went as far as mirroring his infamous “Gaza Verified scam acccounts” list also to torrents and Limewire, as if it was the unredacted Epstein...

  There won’t be any future for #Nicaragua unless Daniel Ortega is assassinated - preferably in the most humiliating and painful way in order to dissuade any future wannabe tyrant. https://www.npr.org/2026/07/21/nx-s1-5902228/nicaragua-ortega-no-elections

  The combination of widespread surveillance, ads-fuelled economy and AI has ushered an era of cross-pollinated monsters that defy even the imagination of the most creative Black Mirror writer. Beware of some cheap HDMI TV sticks (like the H96MAX Screencast). Gone are the “boring” days of TV sticks that would “just” scoop juicy data out of everything you watch on your TV. Nowadays, some TV sticks connect in the background to AI-generated websites and click on ads. Picture it like the perfect m...

  There’s an uncomfortable tension between my employer supporting human rights through the Pride parade, to the point of being the top sponsor of it, while staunchly refusing to stop doing business with the illegal genocidal settlers in the West Bank. Perhaps doing the right thing in the West Bank doesn’t come with the same branding visibility as putting your logo everywhere on the Pride parade. Perhaps supporting LGBTQIA+ minorities in a liberal place like Amsterdam isn’t as controversial as re...

  Infantino’s rule over #FIFA is so greedy and corrupt that even UEFA is done with it. https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/02a7-213a92896eb0-54dfbf454e3b-1000–statement-on-behalf-of-uefa-and-its-55-national-associations/

  I am left with no option but to block those who send me requests of support under posts where I speak of something else. I love my friends in Gaza, and I’ll always do everything in my power to support them through the great injustices they’re going through. But I will no longer tolerate those who respond to every single post I write about something else asking me to support them. If you want to receive sustainable support, be also respectful of other people’s privacy and boundaries. This is...

  @nada@manganiello.eu is trying to stand back on her feet, after the genocide in #Gaza has taken everything away from her multiple times. But it’s hard to stand back on your feet when your health keeps failing, and when even the means to take care of your body and its basic necessities are a luxury. A luxury often denied by a nearly collapsed healthcare system, and an embargo that puts many medications and healthy foods out of reach for many in #Palestine. She is (hopefully) in the final phase...

  Time to call the Zionist terrorist organizations with their names, rather than euphemistically calling them “settlers”. Time for those organizations to be treated the same way we treat al-Qaeda. https://www.newarab.com/news/who-are-jewish-terror-groups-driving-west-bank-pogroms

  📢 #GazaVerified archive updates I’ve dedicated a bit of time to fix a couple of issues on the gaza-verified archive as well as implement some long-standing feature requests. Filter out inactive accounts. As the initiative progressed, some accounts were suspended, deleted, moved or their instances were gone, but the list was never cleaned up. The archive API and the UI now expose a Hide Inactive filter that allows to easily filter out accounts that are permanently inactive. Note that inactive ac...

  The US is neither a friend nor an ally anymore. They’re just another pathetic totalitarian regime that must be treated like any other pathetic totalitarian regime. https://apnews.com/article/un-us-france-human-rights-walkout-bbca1f1381a40aa2870889fd8fa99442

  #Italy has a long-standing issue with private ownership of beaches. In some locations, up to 80-90% of the beaches are privately owned. If you want to go to the seaside, you pay a fee to the owner of the facility (“lido”) and then you can access the beach. When the phenomenon started, the Italian State used to assign licenses to develop seaside facilities to private owners, who were in turn allowed to charge people for the access to the sea in order to fund further development. Slowly, the l...

  Elon Musk’s definition of “open source” is interesting - but in line with what I’d expect from a man who knows nearly nothing about engineering. He announced that #Tesla would open source their Model S and Model X. I hope that the release will be better than the one Tesla made for the Roadster model. Because, after Musk said that Tesla would have released “_all design & engineering of the original Tesla Roadster - whatever we have, you now have”, they ended up publishing a repository only...

  The biggest issue with the current trend towards tech mass surveillance is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be codified into law for it to be effective. Even if the UK doesn’t manage to pass a law that bans VPNs, even if the EU puts stringent regulation around user data collection, mass surveillance can still de facto be implemented above the law. Sure, VPNs may not be illegal. But what if my website has a daily updated database of known VPN servers offered by the major providers (it’s just...

  For any tut users out there (and if you are a terminal guy and you don’t know what it is, please go have a look): I’ve just pushed two features that may be useful: General purpose :search command, to forward search queries to the instance and return results (posts, hashtags, users…) in a new pane./ vi-like command to search within panes, allowing to quickly find e.g. notifications or posts by a certain user. I’m not sure of the current status of development of tut, since the last changes were pu...

  It’s ok #Google, I don’t care if you remove my two browser extensions (Platypush and RSS Viewer) from the Chrome Store. I still won’t migrate them to that technical horror named Manifest V3 that you wanted so badly. There are two reasons: Manifest V3 is your own creature. Web extensions were doing just fine with Manifest V2. You wanted Manifest V3 only because you hate ad-blockers. And you lied for a long time saying that it was, as usual, for “increased user security”. So I won’t give you a...

  Geo-blocking is the copyright holder’s problem, not the VPN’s. Providers are not liable for users bypassing restrictions, and VPNs are lawful technical. https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/vpns-are-lawful-technical-tools-says-eu-court-in-landmark-anne-frank-copyright-ruling

  Liberal Zionists claim that Israel is or can be a democracy. But ethnostates can never be democracies. In order to exist in territories that are not ethnically homogeneous, ethnostates must rely on ethnic supremacy, ethnic cleansing and apartheid.

  The most greedy, corrupt and sociopath man to ever rule a Western country is charging a $100k/month subscription for faster access to his posts on his own private social media. And, for some reason, nobody is outraged and nobody is showing up in front of the White House with a guillotine. I don’t know why publicly calling for the assassination of a head of State is such a taboo, even when everyone is aware that the world will be a much better place once that person is dead. #USPol https://ww...

  There is something deeply concerning in the ways #America is trying to export its uniquely aggressive and dumb brand of #fascism to #Europe. The American fascists have already been nudged a few times to stay outside of European politics. They were reminded in September by the EU Council president Antonio Costa, when a US Security strategy paper called for Europe to “correct” its trajectory, curb migration and listen to its private strategists when it comes to political decisions - yet stating...

  The #UK government is run by bad parents who think that curfews and dumb rules can make up for their absolute inability to understand and follow their children. And those bad parents feel entitled to turn their awful parenting habits into law and impose them on millions of children who have better parents and are actually doing just fine. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c982857nlrlo

  @njalla@njalla.social are you aware of any #SSH crawlers lurking for public IPs on your #VPN? Because I’ve noticed a lot of suspicious lines in my system logs when I connect from my laptop to your VPN. Clues: No other system in my networks experiences such SSH scans (and my laptop is the only one that runs Njalla VPN).My laptop has no publicly exposed IP that could justify its SSH port to be reachable from the outside - only the Njalla VPN interface.When I take Njalla down, the scans also stop...
