A new poll reveals that Americans continue to support organized labor at historic levels, even as the Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress take a battering ram to union rights and the nation's working class.

Gallup's annual survey, released Thursday, shows more than two-thirds of people in the US (68%) approve of labor unions and the economic security and prosperity they provide working families. The popular support matches record-high numbers of recent years after a long decline from the 1960s through the early 2000s.

Palestine defenders are preparing for the latest—and largest—Freedom Flotilla Coalition mission to set sail for Gaza in an attempt to break Israel's US-backed genocidal siege on the embattled Palestinian territory.

Dozens of boats carrying hundreds of activists from as many as 44 nations are set to take part in the Global Sumud Flotilla—sumud means "perseverance" in Arabic—as it attempts to run Israel's naval blockade and deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid including food, medicines, and baby formula to the starving people of Gaza.

It's interesting to see nazi flags as the people criticizing the "socialist" countries, when the nazi party called themselves the "national socialist" party. They were only slightly worse at doing the socialism part than China and ussr


in reply to bubblybubbles

Its not suicide if you die from defacto slave labor to create cheap products. Since this strategy of state-subsidised factories, normally operating a massive net loss, being employed to undermine economies around the world in exchange for dependence on China, a workers suicide could be ruled a MIA since its economic warfare. Not suicide.

Social Web Foundation is Betting Big on Client-to-Server API


The Social Web Foundation has been experimenting with the lesser-known other half of the ActivityPub protocol. Here's what they're up to.


Social Web Foundation is Betting Big on Client-to-Server API


From the outside looking in, it can sometimes feel unclear as to what steps the Social Web Foundation is taking to achieve its goals. The non-profit organization’s About Page states lofty ambitions, such as bringing together implementers to build tools, policies, and protocols to advance the Fediverse. The Projects Page includes End-to-End Encryption, a Fediverse Starter Page, GDPR Compliance, and Long-Form Text.

However, the SWF has been working on several interesting projects outside of these stated scopes, and it’s something Evan Prodromou has been bullish about: leveraging the ActivityPub Client-to-Server API. Historically, this piece of the ActivityPub protocol is rarely ever implemented, due to complexity as well as the fact that Mastodon’s own client API has seen widespread adoption.

A quick ActivityPub C2S primer


To really understand the C2S API, we have to go back in time to when the protocol was being developed. The basic concept was that any ActivityPub implementation would effectively act as a generic server, with clients providing unique experiences. Compared to Mastodon’s dedicated API, C2S isn’t explicitly limited to microblogging or statuses. Instead, clients dispatch activities to and from an Actor’s inbox and outbox.

Instead of every new social experience in the Fediverse acting as a bespoke server, the C2S API instead lets a wide range of clients interact with an instance. Instances no longer become specific delegates of what activities can or cannot be used. C2S opens the floodgates for any kind of application to hook in to a Fediverse account. Instead of an instance doing all the hard work, clients would handle much of the advanced logic themselves.

spectra.video/videos/embed/1FR…

There is a meaningful parallel to ActivityPub C2S, and oddly enough, it can be found within the AT Protocol’s ecosystem. Boris Mann presents a fantastic talk that shows radically different sets of apps that all do very different things, some of which have their own social graphs, leverage unique kinds of data, or offer interactions not available in other places.

Social Login


Setting aside unique applications for a moment, one of the key killer-features that ActivityPub C2S could offer the Fediverse is a coherent and streamlined login system for any Fediverse account.

I don’t know what this thing would look like or what we would collectively call it, but here’s some ideas.

This idea is actually not new. Pump.io, the prototype that largely became a foundation for ActivityPub’s design, offered the ability for people to remotely sign in to any other Pump server, using the account that was local to them. This was initially designed to let people interact with remote objects that their own instances had not yet collected.

Pump crawled so that ActivityPub could run.

The idea of a unified method for Social Web logins is extremely compelling. Right now, a lot of Fediverse apps offer platform-specific sign-on, leveraging a bunch of different APIs.

GreatApe, an upcoming media platform, offers four different ways to log in through the Fediverse.

The upside of this approach means that more apps and services can just let people sign in with their remote accounts, without creating a local account there. The downside is that it adds to the maintenance pile, because of how many different platforms exist within the Fediverse today.

What is the SWF is working on?


There are a few experimental areas where the Social Web Foundation is focusing on building up, so let’s talk about them. The main thing to understand is that these are building blocks, meant for iterative development and discussion with the wider community. As time has gone on, these projects have become more ambitious, and exist to showcase what’s possible with the C2S API.

Places.Pub – GeoSocial Data


Places.pub is an attempt to marry OpenStreetMap data with ActivityPub by using specific GeoSocial parts of ActivityStreams. More specifically, it uses these vocabulary words for activities: Travel, Arrive, and Leave.

One important need for geosocial software is that all objects in ActivityPub, including Place objects, need to have a permanent URL as their id property, which shares the description of that object in Activity Streams 2.0 format. However, there isn’t a good dataset of geographical objects — countries, states or provinces or regions, cities, buildings, businesses, parks, streets — available in AS2 on the Web right now. That is slowing down experimentation in the Geosocial Task Force.

Evan Prodromou, Blog Entry


Interestingly, Places.Pub operates as a hosted service by the SWF, and allows developers to connect to it using the C2S API. It simply acts as a repository of places, represented as ActivityPub objects.

CheckIn – An Example Client for Using GeoSocial Data


Checkin is the example client developed specifically for interacting with Places.Pub. It’s a relatively simple app, but the intention is to demonstrate a proof-of-concept to the community.

Something like this could be used to build a Foursquare-style GeoSocial app, powered entirely by open APIs and protocols. As a bonus, the client-first approach here would mean that developers wouldn’t necessarily have to take on the burden of building a full-stack Foursquare clone with a server backend and federation.

ReactivityPub


Although this is still in the tentative stages, ReactivityPub is an upcoming effort to integrate the ActivityPub C2S API directly into the React framework. It may or may not be related to the ap-components project, which intends to offer a toolkit for rendering and representing ActivityPub data using Web Components.

OnePage – A one-page ActivityPub Server


OnePage.pub is more of a personal project by Evan Prodromou, but could eventually be moved under the SWF project umbrella. Effectively, this acts as a headless server that’s primarily intended for the ActivityPub C2S API. It can be used to log into the CheckIn example client.

Why is this important?


At face value, all of these developments might not appear to mean much. However, these are significant because it shows the SWF taking a progressive approach on several fronts. It showcases the benefits of a long-neglected API, while attempting to address several wide-spread design issues that affect the network. If the organization can continue to build libraries, tooling, and other resources, they might be able to drum up further interest in making C2S possible.

It's fascist eugenics and they all see themselves as the Übermensch. They're really ignorant but too ignorant to see it, and their wealth and the way they surround themselves with like-minded people and ass-kissers ensures they'll never learn.

Also, their whole sense of self-worth ties in with the story that they got where they are through merit, not luck. And the willingness of society to listen to success stories of the wealthy and ignore stories of the non-wealthy means they benefit from its myth-making and financial survivorship bias.

Epstein clearly had other deeply messed up shit going on too though.

I bricked my drive. Help.


I wanted to install Aeon. In a youtube video, the dev said it's increadibly easy. It even asks if you want to backup existing users and it leaves their home folder as is. This info was backed up by the docs.

Once I clicked on "install now" it reminded me that there is no going back once it starts installing the system. I clicked on OK because usually the installation process starts at the end of the configuration phase.

It then loaded, and I feared that it really erases everything now and not after configurartion. I stopped the process by shutting down the computer.

The computer does not detect any filesystem. It should be ext4 if I remember correctly. fsck yields no result. It suggests using two different blocks but with no success. I can't mount anything. Hence I also can't fix grub.

Did I just erase my disk within one second? If so, I can just continue. If not, I'd like to backup some stuff. (Most is backed up, but not the most recent stuff)

Fsck is not a tool to find lost partitions or partition tables. Start from a Live USB stick (or one of the data rescue linux systems) and see what your harddisk/ssd looks like. Maybe the data is still there. If it's gone, try if a tool like testdisk finds your old partitions / old data.

There are some recovery tools available: wiki.archlinux.org/title/File_…

You're using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.


in reply to daydrinkingchickadee

Might be a W for now, but I wouldn't be shocked if they bring back the ties if they get US and IOF support to steamroll the Kurds. But maybe not, just know that they love to play both sides (normally Russia/former USSR and USA). Time and actions will tell as always. This would be a major chance to be on the correct side of history if it can put a dent in stopping the genocide of Palestine. And shames the US aligned Arab nations like Saudi Arabia that have done nothing as they certainly knew and know what the IOF/Zionists plan to do.



GOP Investigation Pressures Wikipedia to Reveal Identities of Editors Accused of 'Bias' Against Israel


A pair of House Republicans is moving forward with an investigation that will seek to reveal the identities of Wikipedia editors who have edited articles to include information that portrays Israel negatively. The representatives asked Wikimedia's CEO, Maryana Iskander, for "assistance in obtaining documents and communications regarding individuals (or specific accounts) serving as Wikipedia volunteer editors who violated Wikipedia platform policies as well as your own efforts to thwart intentional, organized efforts to inject bias into important and sensitive topics."

Of chief concern to the legislators is investigating Wikipedia's handling of content related to Israel. They cited a report from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a pro-Israel lobbying group, which the legislators said "raised troubling questions about potentially systematic efforts to advance antisemitic and anti-Israel information in Wikipedia articles related to conflicts with the state of Israel."

The ADL report makes the allegation that 30 "bad-faith" Wikipedia editors, whose identities are not public, were collaborating to edit pages about the Israel-Palestine conflict by "spotlighting criticism of Israel and downplaying Palestinian terrorist violence and antisemitism," and in the process violating Wikipedia's commitment to neutrality.

Thanks and farewell to Steven Deobald | Gnome Foundation's Executive Director leaves after just 4 months


in reply to Leaflet

He probbaly didn't realise the committment involved.

Sitting in someones front garden, on the edge of a pond with a red pointy hat, with a fishing rod, for days on end, can be very tiring.

Then you got the cats pissing on you and the birds landing on your head.

Its no fun, I can tell you.

Its tough being a gnome

in reply to Leaflet

Who is the guy and how did he get that position?

I'm guessing he's just a businessman that was hired based on connections or "credentials"? Does he have any connection with the free software space at all?

We need to keep scumbags like that as far away from the ecosystem as possible. They are leeches and will take advantage of our ignorance if we let them.

I have practically no respect for the gnome project at this point, so it wouldn't surprise me if this guy was brought in because the gnome foundation wants to emulate proprietary software companies.

Looking at his list of contributions, he didn't do much but probably sucked up a fat paycheck.

“Nothing More Than a Piece of Paper”: Armenians Displaced From Nagorno-Karabakh Say New Peace Accord With Azerbaijan Abandons Rights and Accountability


Emily Wilder
Aug 27, 2025

In September 2023, after years of alleged abuses by Azerbaijani forces against Armenian civilians and soldiers—including beheadings and torture—and a 9-month Azerbaijani military blockade of movement and humanitarian aid into the region, Azerbaijan began shelling the capital city of Stepanakert and other areas of Nagorno-Karabakh for two days. Following the surprise bombardment, Azerbaijan opened the one road from Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia, and in the course of ten days, over 100,000 Armenians fled—an event that human rights experts described as ethnic cleansing, even genocide. Only a few dozen Armenian people remain in Nagorno-Karabakh, according to representatives, while the rest have resettled in Armenia, Russia, and elsewhere.


Russia & China are destroying us, openly, and we haven't done anything about it


I have thought about this a lot, and I came across this Wikipedia page about a Russian book today, and this book about China's plan, and it both terrified and enlightened me further. Based on these two pages (read them before reading this), I have a couple of additional thoughts (closer to conspiracy theories, but anyway):
- The Israel-Hamas conflict (and a genocide) is a distraction from Russia and Iran (yes, they disregard human lives that much), to avoid people from figuring out their plans, keeping a far-right Israeli government, and distracting from Ukraine. It also allows for Iran (and thus Russia) to test against missile and drone defense systems in Israel (that are the best anyway, therefore anything that passes will shred through any Western nation).
- Climate change isn't ignored; rather, it is done purposely. If farming fails, we will be in starvation, allowing them to take us out/dominate us much more easily. Additionally, there are studies that prove an increased temperature leads to lower productivity, thus proving this hypothesis further — and Russia won't feel as big of an impact there, especially in winter.
- The “AI” hype is being funded by both Russia and China, to lower our critical thinking, also allowing us to be tricked and attacked more easily. Furthermore, it increases the speed of climate change, and takes away even more clean water from us. This allows them to be able to poison our waters much more easily, since only a select few freshwater points will be out there,
