Just imagine if all that had been kept within an anticapitalist economy.

The (emergent) strategy of the #FOSS movement as a whole is "Make FOSS, change the world". And it worked. 9 trillion of value to the corporate business world and big tech. You can do a lot with that money, and indeed change the world.

Harvard study: Open source has an economic value of 8.8 trillion dollars

Open source software is worth trillions to the economy. However, researchers warn that companies contribute too little to the development of open source tools.

Alaknanda: il JWST scopre una gigantesca galassia a spirale dal design grandioso risalente agli albori dell'universo

#webb @astronomia

Una galassia a spirale, dalla forma molto simile alla nostra Via Lattea, è stata individuata in un’epoca in cui gli astronomi ritenevano che galassie così ben strutturate non potessero ancora esistere.

Analyse der Großwetterlage: Bringt ein Wetterwechsel vor Weihnachten den Winter mit Schnee und Frost?

Wetterwechsel vor Weihnachten. Es kommt wieder etwas Schwung in die mittlerweile doch sehr eingefahrene Wetterküche. Die ungewöhnlich warme Wetterlage endet in der Vorweihnachtszeit und es stellt sich die Frage nach Schnee, Eis und Frost - also nach dem Winter. Welche Parameter sind für den Winter entscheidend und wie reagieren die Vorhersage-Modelle auf die Umstellung, stimmt das mit der Wetterprognose der KI-Modelle überein und wie stehen die Randfaktoren zu einem Durchbruch des Winters? Oder anders formuliert: Gibt es weiße Weihnachten?

We are NOT Your Museum!

Recently, the Trump Administration released the new “National Security Strategy” paper for the USA. This document is horrific in quite a few different ways, but I want to focus on how it treats Europe.

• They want to “restore Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity” (p. 9)
• They want to “Promote European Greatness” (p 29) by supporting “unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history.” Furthermore, “America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism.” (p. 30)
• Furthermore, they claim that “this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure”, including “loss of national identities and self-confidence”, and that “should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less.” (pp. 29)

Considering who wrote this, and what the actual policies of the Trump Administration have been since Trump has returned to office, the implication is fairly clear: They want Europe to revert to a fantasized past when “Mighty Whitey” strode across the world like a colossus, oppressing or slaying brown people as he pleased. European nations should abandon the project of European unification and instead revert to white ethnostates.

To which I say: NO!

We will NOT change who we are to appease a hostile foreign power – for that is what the USA is now, as they have made clear! We will NOT pretend to be a kitschy theme park to fit the notion of some American bigots what “the Old Country” should be like! We will NOT remain in stasis! We are NOT your museum!

I care about German history and culture – deeply so, and with a passion that would have surprised my younger self. And I am more than happy to share my knowledge and my appreciation with the world – which is one of the reasons I put in so much time and effort into translating German folk tales. But this is why I am appalled by such efforts seeking to destroy them – again.

How German history and culture are preserved and honored will be decided here, by Germans – “Germans” as defined by the German Constitution, not “Germans” as the Nazis defined it. We Germans – regardless of ethnicity – have a stake in the future of Germany, while the Trump Administration has not. Trump’s ancestor might have left Germany because he wanted to dodge military draft, but his descendant has no claim upon us. He and his followers have no true curiosity about German history and culture – a far cry from the many immigrants to Germany I have met over the years. They get a place at the table to determine Germany’s future, but Trump will not. And together we will try to build new ways of honoring our country, our history, and our culture, free of the racism and sexism and antisemitism and other bigotries of the past.

Of course, there are Germans who will disagree with me. And many of them are traitors to our country, who are just as willing to kiss MAGA ass as they are to lick Putin’s boots – selling Germany’s future for their thirty pieces of silver. But history will judge them just as history has judged the Third Reich.

Oggi si apre un nuovo capitolo nella Saga del #Self-Hosting. ⚔️📜🐧

Con mani salde e spirito d’avventura, ho evocato un server #XMPP tutto mio, forgiato in casa, libero e fiero. 🏰💬✨
Non è un tradimento verso il mio home-server #MATRIX, anzi, quello resta un compagno d’armi fidato, una roccaforte che non mi ha mai lasciato a piedi. 🛡️🧩

È solo che… io sono fatto così, quando c’è da sperimentare, io sperimento. 😄🔧
E con tanto spazio libero lì che mi guarda e mi fa “usami”, come potevo resistere? 🧠📦👀

Quindi via, nuova creatura online, nuovi test, nuove scoperte… e la soddisfazione suprema di dire: “Sì, questo me lo gestisco io.” 😎🔥🧰

Che l’era dei messaggi sacri abbia inizio. 📡🕯️💙

from today's post:

"never forget that none of it is normal.

wearing us down is how fascism wins. we have to keep on top of all of this shit, and ensure none of it gets normalized. it’s fucking exhausting — but necessary.

here’s the good news: Donny is as shit at fascism as he is at running casinos. we’re seeing the wheels coming off Dear Leader’s clown car. the GOP is backing away from his toxic policies, as they lose election after election."
