TKP-ML IB Statement On The Commemoration Of The Nakba
Resistance Until Liberation: The Unfinished Return
On the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, we stand with Palestinians everywhere to shatter the silence that hides ongoing dispossession. In May 1948, more than seven hundred thousand lives were uprooted so that colonial powers could plant their flags in the Middle East. The violence of 1948 did not end with history; it echoes today in Gaza’s relentless blockade, where families endure chronic shortages of food, water, fuel, and medicine; in the West Bank, where airstrikes and sniper fire stalk children playing in the streets; and in Jenin and other refugee camps, where bulldozers raze homes by night and soldiers carry out mass arrests at dawn.
We fully expose, in all its brutality, the settler-colonial Zionist ideology that legitimizes the genocide against the Palestinian people. Imperialist states arm occupation forces, spin tales of “peace” and “stability,” and look away as bombs fall on refugee tents and entire neighborhoods are flattened. Their calculated silence is part of a broader strategy of re-division, an ominous prelude to a new imperialist world war in which Palestine is but one battlefield among many. Yet their plots only bind us more tightly together in solidarity.
Our solidarity is rooted in everyday acts: workers refusing to service weapons factories, students organizing divestment campaigns on campuses, and communities hosting Palestinian artists and speakers. We bring Palestinian voices into our unions, our neighborhoods, and our classrooms, offering spaces where their stories are heard, learned, and passed on. Through these actions we make clear that the right to return is not a distant hope but a shared responsibility and collective mission.
As long as checkpoints still choke movement, blockades starve families, and imperialist powers scheme fresh carve-ups under the threat of a third world war, our solidarity will pulse through every corner of the globe. We are bound together in struggle until every Palestinian can walk home again, unhampered by colonial walls.
Long live the struggle of the Palestinian People!
Long live International Solidarity!
Free Palestine!

Are these personal or corporate friends? Or the personal corporate friends one typically gains after passing certain treshold of github stars? You know, the nice marketing & sales friends who milk you for PR value based on popularity metrics. Buddies that see you as product, hook you as bait.

[Spiegone del mattino ☕] potrebbe anche diventare una rubrica 🤫
Il motivo per cui ultimamente parlo di Software Libero, Open Source e software proprietario, è perché secondo me le persone, anche quelle interessate a non usare il software prodotto da una grande azienda, spesso non hanno ben chiare le premesse.
La questione del Software Libero è "antica", informaticamente parlando, risale agli anni 80.
Le distinzioni specifiche si sono formate durante questi anni e hanno portato a tutta una serie di differenze sostanziali nel modo di concepire l'informatica.
La distinzione fondamentale secondo me è quella tra: avere un'idea di in che direzione dovrebbero andare le cose oppure rilasciare un botto di codice che comunque è utile avere pezzi per costruire cose.
Secondo me il Software Libero rientra nella prima categoria e sono abbastanza d'accordo sull'idea che esprime.
Ci sono altre idee, con cui sono meno/non d'accordo e poi ci sono "non idee" nel senso che tutta questa filosofaggine passa in secondo piano.
Quindi insomma, no, non è automatico, secondo me, che: una cosa è gratis/open/l'ho presa su [distributore di cose open di fiducia] o chi per esso -> sto andando nella direzione giusta.
Bisognerebbe sempre controllare la licenza, in teoria.
Poi...nella pratica al momento se volessimo usare solo Software Libero dovremmo recuperare qualche macchina un po' vecchiotta e...probabilmente sarebbe più complicato usare internet. Per non parlare dei telefoni con Android.
Questo non toglie che secondo me è una direzione in cui andare, quindi se possibile sarebbe preferibile preferire quello.
E controllare.
Controllare è parte dell'essere fruitori consapevoli invece che utenti pecore.

“In the Netherlands, every citizen is allowed to clear and plant a strip of paving slabs up to 50 centimeters away from the house wall without asking the authorities. ‘We want as many people as possible to take responsibility for making cities greener and therefore more resilient to the climate crisis,’ explains Landegent as he rolls up a blue fiber optic cable that was buried in the sand bed under the tiles. Later, he says, they’ll lay the cable back in the bed. Doesn’t the network operator have to agree to this? Or send a fitter to supervise? Or doesn’t the homeowner at least have to be informed? Landegent smiles and shakes his head. Dutch people—who are accustomed to taking matters into their own hands—would never ask such questions, he seems to think.”

in reply to jbz • • •I have been in software development for quite some time. I have tried vibe-coding several times. I just don't get it.
The AI agent makes fundamental mistakes, and it takes many prompts to fix them. The AI rewrites the entire file even if changing just one line is enough.
Also, just writing the code is often easier than explaining what I want to do to the AI.
It's frustrating.
