Everyone should listen to Blowback Season 3. The genocide the US Empire committed against Koreans on both sides of the division the US made, the outlawing of the PRK that Koreans were setting up for themselves, all of it is a massive wake-up call for anyone that hasn't studied the Korean War.

Because Israel doesn't want peace and they love nothing more than pushing the boundaries of what they are allowed to do.

So far Israel has been punished zero times for violating every supposed red line the West put on them. Except by Iran and the Houthis.

This is Why You Don’t Let Libertarians Run Your Country


In Argentina, President Javier Milei has screwed the economy up so badly he needs a $20 billion bailout. That’s because his “free market” economics don’t actually work.
in reply to acargitz

Wait a moment, wasn’t Argentina’s economy in the toilet already? If it happens like Mexico in the 80s, this 20 billion loan won’t prop the economy, but the pockets of government officials and robber barons.
in reply to TeamAssimilation

Regardless of the state of Argentina’s economy and government, this is a $20 billion gift from one fascist to another. Trump is probably hoping for Millei to back any move against Venezuela the US might make.

California’s “anti-discrimination,” “antisemitism prevention” bill: A bipartisan assault on democratic rights and public education


The signing of California Assembly Bill 715 (AB 715) by Governor Gavin Newsom on October 7 marks a milestone in the bipartisan campaign to criminalize political dissent and rewrite history in the service of imperialist policy. The timing of the bill’s signing, two years since the events of October 7 and the beginning of Gaza’s genocide, was no accident.

Passed under the fraudulent banner of “antisemitism prevention,” AB 715 embodies a reactionary fusion of state power, corporate censorship and Zionist ideology. It is part of a nationwide effort to equate opposition to the Israeli state with hatred of Jewish people, silencing criticism of the Gaza genocide and US imperialism in the Middle East.

The unanimous passage of AB 715 exposes the class character of American politics. In May, the Assembly approved it 68–0; the Senate followed 35–0; and the Assembly concurred 71–0. Not a single Democrat or Republican voiced objection. The “progressive” state that boasts of diversity and inclusion has united the entire establishment behind a law attacking freedom of speech, placing in grave danger academic freedom and democratic principles.

Unanimity among the ruling class is not progress but a warning. The American capitalist class achieves consensus when preparing war, abroad or at home. AB 715 is a declaration of war on democratic rights and public education, part of the ideological groundwork for dictatorship in the United States which will only facilitate the Trump administration’s war on the working class.




"AI is an attack from above on wages": An interview with cognitive scientist Hagen Blix


Hagen

One of the stories we have in the book is about that Apple Crush ad. There was that ad where they had all these instruments and drawing materials, et cetera, like all these art related things. on the hydraulic press, and then the hydraulic press crushes it. The piano keys shudder, the trumpet gets crushed, the paint gushes out, and at the end of the hydraulic press, there’s, the iPad.

BITM

And people hated it. They had to apologize for it.

Hagen

Yeah, they apologized—for an ad. So there’s this sense of, “yes, this is actually about transferring knowledge and skills into a tool so that you can pay people who use the tool less.” This is happening over and over again in capitalism. And we’re going to dismantle by force all of these things that you love and that create beautiful art.

It’s such a useful metaphor that they handed us. It was so beautifully clear that this is a way of bulldozing precisely the aspects of like human creative activity, which labor should be. Labor should be, you’re changing something in the world in accordance with your will. And that’s what it means to be alive as a human.

This is a good time to mention how we have been propagandized about the Luddites.

This is precisely the issue they had with the newindustrial tooling up they were facing, it wasn't the tools, per se, that they objected to, but the de skilling and Disenfranchisement of the way those tools were being deployed by industrialists.

Being a luddite was and is about ownership of the tools and abuse by capitalists on skilled workers, and the disruption of our important knowledge base and skill sets.



OMG! German influencers face tax dodging crackdown


Frankfurt (Germany) (AFP) – They could soon be unboxing fines rather than freebies -- Germany's online influencers are facing a tax evasion crackdown that has left them screaming OMG!

The issue hit the headlines after the country's most populous state announced a specialised unit of investigators was probing influencer tax dodging on a massive scale.

They are assessing a stash of some 6,000 data records from social media platforms that point to unpaid taxes on everything from earnings from views to advertising products.

"We know that there is a lot of money circulating right now," Stephanie Thien, head of the state office for combating financial crime in North-Rhine Westphalia, told AFP.

"And we also know that not all of it is being taxed properly."

Like elsewhere, the number of influencers on platforms like TikTok and Instagram has exploded in Europe's top economy in recent years.

According to the German Association for the Digital Economy, the amount of money that companies spend on influencer marketing rose from 223 million euros ($262 million) in 2019 to 477 million euros in 2022.

For some teens who become overnight sensations by cracking jokes or pulling pranks online, failing to pay taxes is a simple error.

"There have been cases where people come to us and say, I've been doing this for two or three years, but I've never thought about taxes," Christian Gebert, head of the tax advisory firm Steuerberaten.de, told AFP.

"Many influencers achieve success quickly, and at the start, they often lack proper tax arrangements", added Gebert, whose firm counts many creators among its clients.

But there are others who seek to evade paying tax by under-declaring their earnings, or not making a declaration at all.

A common trick is pretending to relocate overseas -- Dubai is a popular choice -- to avoid high tax rates at home, and then in reality spending most of the time in Germany.

It is these cases of intentional evasion that North Rhine-Westphalia is targeting.

Thien said her office was "truly targeting serious financial crime, the big cases".

Even before the launch of the recent campaign, the state was already conducting criminal proceedings against about 200 influencers based there -- with some accused of underpaying their taxes by millions of euros.

Other German tax authorities are getting in on the act, with the city-state of Hamburg and the state of Thuringia among those conducting probes.

Such investigations are tricky because of the numerous ways to earn money online.

These range from getting paid by for clicks and views, to payments from brands for product placement, and earning commissions when followers buy promoted items.

It is also common for influencers to receive gifts, from hotel rooms to flights, in exchange for promoting businesses.

But all theses earnings could be subject to tax -- including income, business or sales tax -- and it is up to creators to navigate bureaucracy-loving Germany's complex web of rules.

Alex Schoenen, who runs an agency that supports up-and-coming TikTok creators, said that authorities had not done enough to explain rules that were "far too complex".

They should run more information campaigns, including on social media, said Schoenen, who is himself a popular influencer on TikTok under the handle "Der_Typ_ist_anders" ('That guy is different').

"What I've witnessed in the past three years has been a pure disaster," he told AFP, saying he felt many young people were badly advised by tax consultants.

Even before North Rhine-Westphalia's probe hit the headlines, there was growing debate about influencers being targeted.

In an episode of the German podcast "Das A&O vom Kaffequatsch" earlier this year, hosted by influencers Anahita Rehbein and Olivia von Platen, the pair took a break from their usual topics of motherhood and lifestyle to talk taxes with two experts.

Von Platen said that a tax official had told her: "Influencers are the new top targets for the tax office because they're the easiest to 'take down'".

Authorities say their aim is simply to ensure people pay their taxes fairly.

"It is very important that our tax system is there to enable the state to fulfil its obligations for the common good," said Thien.

"We are interested in tax justice."

Interview with John O’Nolan about Ghost 6

We were excited to see the recent release of Ghost 6 with ActivityPub features. The Ghost team have been an active participant in our Long-form Text project. John O’Nolan, founder and CEO of Ghost.org, was kind enough to answer our questions about the software and its community.

SWF: For our readers who don’t know Ghost, how would you describe the platform?

JO: Ghost is an independent publishing platform for people who take writing seriously. We’re open source, non-profit, and built to give creators complete ownership of their content and their audience. We’ve helped indie publishers generate over $100 million in revenue from sustainable modern media businesses like 404Media, Platformer and Tangle News.

SWF: Tell us about your user community. Can you paint a picture of them with a broad brush? What kind of people choose Ghost?

JO: Ghost attracts people who care about owning their home on the internet, rather than having another profile on a social media platform. Our publishers range from solo journalists and creators, to established news outlets and large businesses. They value independence, and they’re willing to do the work to maintain control of their brand, distribution, data, and relationship with readers.

SWF: What is it like to be a Ghost user in 2025? What kind of problems are your users facing today?

JO: The big challenge today is the same one that’s haunted independent publishers for two decades: discovery. You can own your platform and serve your audience beautifully, but if people can’t find you, none of it matters. Email newsletters have been a solid answer, but they’re still dependent on deliverability and inbox placement. Algorithms on social platforms actively suppress links now, so sharing your work there is like shouting into a hurricane.

SWF: Tell us about your experience with ActivityPub. Why did you decide to add ActivityPub support to your software?

JO: Ghost has had support for delivering content by email newsletters for a number of years, and email has remained an unassailable distribution platform for publishers because it’s an open protocol. No company controls your email list except you, so it’s one of the best investments you can make. ActivityPub is now doing the same thing for social technology. It allows publishers to own and control a distribution channel that allows their work to spread and be discovered by others. For the first time, you can publish independently and grow faster than ever before.

SWF: What stack is Ghost built on? What development tools does your team use?

JO: Ghost is all built in modern JavaScript; mainly Node and React. Our ActivityPub service is built on Fedify, and everything we build is released under an open source MIT license. Our development tools are constantly evolving, and now more quickly than ever before with the advent of AI tools, which seem to change on a near weekly basis.

SWF: What was the development process like?

JO: Challenging, honestly. ActivityPub is beautifully designed but the spec leaves room for interpretation, and when you’re building something new, there’s no roadmap. Building interoperability between other platforms, who’ve all interpreted the spec in their own unique ways, has been a real challenge. The approach we took was to ship early versions as quickly as possible to beta testers so we could learn as we go, using real-world data and issues to guide our process. We’re in a good spot, now, but there’s still a lot to do!

SWF: Ghost produces long-form blog posts, articles and newsletters. How was the experience adapting Ghost articles to the microblogging interfaces of Mastodon and Threads?

JO: In some ways really easy, and in other ways quite tricky. We’re at a pretty early stage for long-form content on ActivityPub, and the majority of other products out there don’t necessarily have interfaces for supporting it yet. The easy part is that we can provide fallbacks, so if you’re scrolling on Mastodon you might see an article title and excerpt, with a link to read the full post – and that works pretty well! The dream, though, is to make it so you can just consume the full article within whatever app you happen to be using, and doing that requires more collaboration between different platforms to agree on how to make that possible.

SWF: You’ve been an active participant in the ActivityPub community since you decided to implement the standard. Why?

JO: ActivityPub is a movement as much as a technology protocol, and behind it is a group of people who all believe in making the web a weird, wonderful open place for collaboration. Getting to know those humans and being a part of that movement has been every bit as important to the success of our work as writing the code that powers our software. We’ve received incredible support from the Mastodon team, AP spec authors, and other platforms who are building ActivityPub support. Without actively participating in the community, I don’t know if we would’ve gotten as far as we have already.

SWF: Ghost has implemented not only a publishing interface, but also a reading experience. Why?

JO: The big difference between ActivityPub and email is that it’s a 2-way protocol. When you send an email newsletter, that’s it. You’re done. But with ActivityPub, it’s possible to achieve what – in the olden days – we fondly referred to as ‘the blogosphere’. People all over the world writing and reading each other’s work. If an email newsletter is like standing on a stage giving a keynote to an audience, participating in a network is more like mingling at the afterparty. You can’t just talk the whole time, you have to listen, too. Being successful within the context of a network has always involved following and engaging with others, as peers, so it felt really important to make sure that we brought that aspect into the product.

SWF: Your reader is, frankly, one of the most interesting UIs for ActivityPub we’ve seen. Tell us about why you put the time and effort into making a beautiful reading experience for Ghost.

JO: We didn’t want to just tick the “ActivityPub support” checkbox – we wanted to create something that actually feels great to use every day. The idea was to bring some of the product ideas over from RSS readers and kindles, where people currently consume long-form content, and use them as the basis for an ActivityPub-native reading experience. We experimented with multiple different approaches to try and create an experience with a mix of familiarity and novelty. People intuitively understand a list of articles and a view for opening and reading them, but then when you start to see inline replies and live notifications happening around those stories – suddenly it feels like something new and different.

SWF: If people want to get a taste of the kind of content Ghost publishers produce, what are some good examples to follow?

JO: Tough question! There are so many out there, and it really depends on what you’re into. The best place to start would be on ghost.org/explore – when you can browse through all sorts of different categories of creators and content, and explore the things that interest you the most.

SWF: If I’m a Fediverse enthusiast, what can I do to help make Ghost 6 a success?

JO: Follow Ghost publishers and engage with their content – likes, replies, reposts all help! Most importantly, help us spread the word about what’s possible when platforms collaborate rather than compete. And if you’re technical, our ActivityPub implementation is entirely open source on GitHub – contributions, bug reports, and feedback make the whole ecosystem stronger.

E' da quasi due mesi che uso NodeBB, la piattaforma di forum federata, e le mie impressioni sono positive. Per apprezzare al meglio le caratteristiche e le potenzialità di NodeBB occorre loggarsi come utente amministratore e non come utente normale.

Quando mi collego a NodeBB come utente normale, ad esempio, è difficile seguire le vecchie discussioni, perché tanti post risultano eliminati, probabilmente dall'utente che li ha scritti o dalla piattaforma remota, come può essere Mastodon che tra le opzioni ha la possibilità di eliminare i post dopo tot giorni.

Questa caratteristica di eliminare i vecchi post post rende molto frustrante l'esperienza forum.

Screenshot pagina NodeBB con vecchi post eliminati

Se invece mi collego a NodeBB come utente amministratore riesco a seguire i thread delle vecchie discussioni molto meglio, perché i post "eliminati" me li ritrovo intatti al loro posto, probabilmente perché sono stati memorizzati da qualche parte da NodeBB che li riproduce solo agli utenti amministratori.

Comunque l'utente amministratore ha a disposizione una tale quantità di caratteristiche e opzioni di configurazione che non sono a disposizione dell'utente normale.

NodeBB poi, lo si apprezza decisamente meglio se lo si naviga dal browser del desktop sul monitor del PC, piuttosto che dallo smartphone. L'esperienza mobile di NodeBB, secondo me, è da migliorare, anche perché NodeBB ha caratteristiche evolute che per essere gestite e apprezzate necessitano di uno schermo ampio, poco gestibili invece dallo schermo di uno smartphone.

Tra le cose belle di NodeBB c'è quella di poter definire le categorie di argomenti e indirizzare i vari post degli utenti remoti seguiti nella giusta categoria, in base ai tag presenti nei post. Inoltre è possibile anche per le categorie seguire categorie remote, come se fossero degli utenti e ritrovarsi i post degli utenti delle categorie remote nelle categorie locali che le seguono. Così tante opzioni e caratteristiche che neppure io riesco ancora a capire il funzionamento di alcune, rendono inevitabile la presenza di bug da correggere.

Tidal playlist downloader?


All these open source options seem to only do the first 60 seconds. What out there can batch do this automatically? I could just rip them in audacity but I'd get a quality drop, which will still be better than the microphone quality video recording I am trying to drop them over.

Am I manually going to have to record each file with audacity which will be a time consuming pita or is there a way to batch download a play list for free?

Should download whatever you want.

in reply to shades

Yeah thats to be expected sorry. If you want to use a free option youll need to look into deezer or qobuz downloaders. Streamrip should work, but afaik tidal always requires a paid subscription to download from.

You might need a trial account to use qobuz but it should let you. You can also find 'paid' arls for deezer to allow downloading flac.

There are services that can migrate playlists across services for you also, but i dont know of any free ones.

Yeah I'm just manually downloading them with scdownloader and its quite a pain in the ass. Even if I pumped it full throttle for GPT to skeleton me a code that scrape the info and puts it into scdownloader, that'd still probably take longer than manually typing in the song title and copying a link and pasting it into a another tab and clicking download.

I'm not gonna pay for downloading these tracks. I was just hoping to not have tc spend so much time doing it. FLAC doesn't matter, it just needs to be better than the phone mic quality recording that the video has the audio files into. I'm just dropping them over before I publish the content to my odysee page.

I want to mark some of my posts in !banpitbulls@lemmy.ca as "video". Should I use tags and should I use flairs?
in reply to cloudless

I've only ever posted twice, but the post that I made quickly, without bothering with any tags, did way better. Obviously a hilariously low sample size but as far as I can tell the tags are just hashtags, more visible to Mastodon than Lemmy.
in reply to cloudless

The two serve similar, but different purposes. A quick guide:

Post Flair


Post flair are created per-community by the community moderators. Categorizing posts with flair makes it easy for users to just look at posts within that community with just that flair. To see what I mean, try checking out !fediverse@piefed.social and click a post flair in the sidebar there. It will filter all the posts in the community feed to just posts that have that flair. If you are familiar with post flair on reddit, this is intended to work pretty much the same way.

Tags / Hashtags

Within a community


Tags are a thing that can function in a similar way to post flair when we are talking about within a community, so I understand the confusion some people have. For example, if you click on a hashtag in the sidebar of !fediverse@piefed.social, it will similarly filter the community to just posts that have that hashtag. So...same thing, right?

Across communities


Well, hashtags can also serve another role. They can help group similar posts across multiple communities as well. For example, clicking the #Mastodon hashtag in the sidebar of !fediverse@piefed.social community takes you to this page, where all the posts within that community using that hashtag are listed. However, posts in other communities can also use the #Mastodon hashtag...so how do we see those?

The answer to that is that there is a way to search for posts by tag. Here is the page for piefed.social. You can search for a hashtag, and then when you select it, you can see all the posts (across all communities) that use that hashtag. Following up on the example we used earlier, if you want to look at all the posts using the #Mastodon hashtag, here you go.

Across the fediverse


The other thing that hashtags do that post flair doesn't is that microblogging services like mastodon understand them better. So, it helps users on other fediverse software platforms find your posts better. @rimu@piefed.social wrote a bit about that just the other day over here.

in reply to wjs018

Thanks. I think I will use flair for now. Will use tags when I have some specific topics/subjects like #pomeranian
in reply to cloudless

Tags work with mastodon, and accross the fediverse. So you should use both 😀

Ex-Ilva di Cornigliano. Quale futuro?

Sulla newsletter L'Unica Genova (vedi link sottostante) un approfondimento sul future della acciaieria Ex-Ilva di Genova-Cornigliano.

Lo stabilimento dell’ex Ilva di Genova si estende su un milione di metri quadrati tra il mare e il quartiere di Cornigliano. È il secondo più importante in Italia dopo quello di Taranto, ed è il principale punto di collegamento con gli altri impianti dell’azienda in Piemonte, come quello di Novi Ligure. A Genova, al momento, viene prodotta la banda stagnata, ovvero la latta per usi alimentari. Non a sufficienza, però: Genova ne produce centomila tonnellate all’anno, ma il Paese ne consuma 800 mila. A Genova si producono anche la banda cromata e quella zincata. Il forno elettrico del futuro, in ogni caso, dovrebbe servire non solo per la lavorazione dell’acciaio – che oggi viene spedito dallo stabilimento di Taranto – ma anche per la sua produzione. Con l’obiettivo di tutelare l’occupazione: a Cornigliano i lavoratori sono 1.200 e il piano prevede altri 700 posti di lavoro.
