I am not sure this is a wide spread behavior among the IT. Reading the "Debian Free Software Guidelines", we could have some doubts. My point is not that free software are good or bad, but that is not enough. If we want te be responsible as producers, we have to organize as such to stop production that killing us (with climat change or military for example) and promote the one that emancipate us. Free software are a way to achieve the last one, unions the fist one

I said such things too, but one day I ask myself, could I said it in front of people bombed by my tools ? Our tools are not neutral things, but produce and distribute by social relationship that we could fight. Sorry but we the rise of fascism and ecological disaster we could not afford to give up our power as producer to mass murderer

Law do not exist by itself; it's the result of balance of power. How would you know that your State do not use illegally free software ? And if you know it, could you sue it ? Even if it's a classified administration ?

Apply laws Internationally is even worse. It usually depends of the imperialist relationship between States. For exemple, Facebook rules was illegal in France, but France changes it's laws rather than sue Facebook. A decade later, the whole European Union could forte RGPD upon the GAFAM.

China have nothing to fear in ignoring those licence, and we shouldn't rely on it to protect our work. However we could strengthen our common defenses, through FOSS for people in the US … and maybe trade unions elsewhere.

Why Gaza ?

Sadly yes, Linux kill

The goal was to make a Flash Gordon adaptation. So objectively, this is a failure. A very cool one

Recycle your unvisited rooms for next dungeons. I know it's cheap, but hey you're the only one who would know.

French government make electricity price scale on the most expansive one. So with the war in Ukraine, the price of gas plumed up, and so do every electricity bill that was never so expansive, by far.

The "liberalization of energy market" force everyone to buy electricity from courrier that don't do anything; they do not produce or invest, they just buy and sell electricity. This firms take all the money between the price and the cost. This severely threat the electricity production, that is still made by the former public firm (ex « Électricité de France » ); even if it's electricity is the cheapest, and it's the firm that invest the more in renewable energy.

Okay guys, maybe the is a contradiction in capitalism that make it collapse. It just append to be toxic masculinity

I hope you where paid by Lockheed-Martin. Don't make unfair competition to public relationship

Yep, in a lot of countries. In France, the fascists has been stopped by the union of left parties, and the union of trades unions, and lead to the most social progress we still rely on (the first paid holidays for example). If we shall not thing that history repeat itself, this period have a big particularity that is not enough told : those social progress where not planned by the political parties, and the reunification of trades unions (like CGT and CGT-U) where not at the initiative of their leaders. Workers took the street and very offensive strike forced them off. Their sure is a lack of initiative of the workers, I think that's why we fail during the retirement movement; and If trade Unions sure have a place, I'm not sure that it's next to political parties in these "Nouvel Union Populaire".

Pro:

• Look this shitload of money you don't have to pay for insurance, parking and gaz

Con:

• Look this shitload of time you've spent to "fix just this another thing"

Okay now we establish who deserved what, maybe we should ask ourselves if this punishment help to prevent this murders to happen again, or will their cause another disaster in the futur.

We could find the Isralien army more or less virtuous than the Palestinians armed resistance, and throw examples and counter examples, our we think about what cause it, and how to stop it. Having a materialist approach

This kind of stories rely on the same narratives that mass media : their is obvious injustice, and a way to fight it. Maybe if the first part of that stories spoke to us from the dominant side, it would be way more effective.

Andor showing us that agent from imperial political police want stability, to feed their family, and being respected. The Witcher, where a lot of people speak about Scoiatel as a racist group.

It shall not be something like "both side are equally evil" but "what make people act like that ? And Who have the choice, and who don't ?".

We aren't speaking about employee in an hydroelectric dam. Even if both took part in an the economy of an oppressive system, one give electricity, the other mass murder. If they do not agree with, they think that taking part in this crime give them more chance than deserting.

Whenever You Gamble, My Friend, Eventually You’ll Lose.

You know that the hamas is not the whole resistance neither the only one being bombed, right ? Also, you should watch Andor

They will think twice before fire someone else. Well done

If there were 49% of "to radical leftist" in France, we sure do not need election to proclaim socialism. Most of us are not enough politicized to criticized them as a political line. Still we couldn't convince people by ignoring their feeling when their are legit, even if those feelings may leads to actions that seems against our common interests.

If we claim equality, we shall listen before speaking.

The most "anti-fascist" parliament group (LFI) is the same that vote "yes" for spying instant messenger. I did vote; but I couldn't blame people for feeling betrayed by parties. We are, and shall not expect otherwise unless we threat those the same people we send too parliament by direct actions. Organizing on our needs make people vote, but voting do not lead to class based organization

This kind of demonstration took place in a lot of city in france, if not all.
