The image displays a "SQUAD PAYOUT" screen from a video game. The background features a gradient sky with a horizon, and two guns are visible on the sides. The screen is divided into sections with different types of rewards.

At the top, the title "SQUAD PAYOUT" is prominently displayed. Below it, the section labeled "SAMPLES" shows three different types of rewards: a green circle with the number "33," an orange square with the number "29," and a pink cross with the number "5."

The next section, labeled "CURRENCY," shows two types of in-game currency. The first is represented by a yellow "R" with the number "7,002," and the second is a skull icon with the number "7."

Finally, the "XP" section shows the experience points earned, which is "1,593" in blue text.

The overall layout is clean and organized, with each reward type clearly labeled and visually distinct.

I don’t know why any of the western leaders think Iran would engage in diplomacy. They have been illegally attacked under false pretences for exercising rights under the NPT. Why would that get them to “return to negotiations”, particularly considering it was these illegal attacks that disrupted diplomacy?

These talking points are the logic of war, nothing more. Unconditional surrender or violence. It has never lead to peace.

The image depicts a serene rural scene with a grassy field where four cows are grazing. The cows are primarily brown and white, with one having a predominantly brown coat. They are scattered across the field, with one cow slightly separated from the others. In the background, there is a large brick water tower with a conical roof and a weather vane on top, standing prominently against a backdrop of lush green trees and a partly cloudy sky. The grass is a vibrant green, with some patches of bare earth visible, and a small piece of driftwood lies on the ground in the foreground. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and pastoral, with the cows calmly feeding and the water tower adding a historical element to the scene.

that words don’t hurt is biggest cope in internet culture. Our brains is wired to get triggered by any hostility, the senses, include the eyes reading and ears hearing, giving a signal to brain, which causes massive butthurt. That’s how we function as species. Of course once you get used to hearing something very often it no longer hurts as bad, but something said to you in the worst moments is going to cause massive butthurt.
in reply to Not a Comedic Lunatic

yes true. everyone gets hurt by words, some are just better at hiding it than others.
in reply to foxcat

I can't hide the hurt. Not from words, but painful experience.

If you want to bring it up, it will *sting* but not hurt like the original event.

Be right back, have to visit a grave. What were we talking about again?

Words do not hurt
Being willing to be hurt hurts

Valuable commentary about Trump's decision to bomb Iran continues to unfold. With this posting, I'm going to begin a new thread of commentary on this topic, since the previous one had gotten long.

In a statement entitled "Bombing God's Love," Brian Kaylor calls on Bob Dylan as a witness that

"Dropping bombs on people doesn’t count as loving God."

Though Trump invoked the name of God several times after annoucing he had bombed Iran….

"In rejecting diplomacy and choosing war, not only in breach of international law but at the behest of a country pursuing annihilation in Gaza, the US has delivered a resounding blow to the architecture of global affairs. It has signalled that countries that negotiate (Iran) face stark consequences, which those which rush to own the bomb (North Korea) can avoid."

One of Europe’s Hottest Cities Rediscovers an Old Cooling Technique

By Laura Millan
August 8, 2023

"The streets of #Seville in southern #Spain were so hot that July afternoon that it felt almost impossible to walk outdoors. As temperatures approached 42C (108F), people scrambled to find shelter in air-conditioned homes, offices and public buildings. Yet, less than two miles from the city center, a cool breeze blew under a giant white roof.

"The structure is a part of CartujaQanat, an architectural experiment in cooling solutions that doesn’t rely on burning more planet-warming #FossilFuels. The site, about the size of two soccer fields, includes two auditoriums, green spaces, a promenade and a shaded area with benches. But its star performer remains hidden — the qanat, a network of underground pipes and tubes inspired by Persian-era canals.

"The grid of #aqueducts can lower surrounding temperatures by as much as 10C using just air, water and #solar power, according to Emasesa, the Seville public water company that helped to build it. The system is modeled on ancient tunnels dug to bring water to agricultural fields that were first documented in what is today #Iran. The Persians realized 1,000 years ago that the running water also cooled the air in the canals, so they fashioned vertical shafts to bring that air to the surface.

" 'This is not an air-conditioning system like the one you may have in your home,' says Juan Luis López, the project’s supervisor and an engineer at Emasesa. 'We use natural techniques and materials to reduce temperatures.' "

The Fediverse path could be the most important #openweb reboot of the commons of this decade. This is a story of power, plain and simple hamishcampbell.com/this-is-a-st...

This is a story of power, plai...


This is a story of power, plain and simple


Over the last few years, we’ve been watching a familiar story unfold, we’ve seen repeat itself in radical spaces, tech movements, and grassroots networks for decades. It starts in the grassroots with “progressive” #fashernistas (yes, them) pushing themselves into the front to speak for “us.” They talk the talk of decentralisation, care, community, and #FOSS ethics. They wear all the right hashtags: #opensocialmedia, #Fediverse, #commons, #techforgood. But when you look at how power is actually exercised behind the scenes, it’s something else entirely. This is a story of power, plain and simple. Not in the dramatic “revolutionary” sense. But in the subtle creep of careerism, institutional capture, and “safe” social capital games that flatten the radical and uplifts the “palatable”.

Let’s take a few examples from the #activertypub world, first with the #SocialHub stagnation, this open space was originally created for grassroots to shape the standards of the decentralised web, It was originally a commons, protocol-building and governance exploration space. So, what happened? The people now “leading” came from lifestyle #fashionista activism and wannabe NGO circuits, who in the end were all trying to be embedded in the institutional funding environments, or visiting from the safe academic bubble. And thus they brought with them the dogmas of safe spaces, of “emotional consensus,” “hidden affinity group governance,” and “(ex)inclusive dialogue”… that JUST SO happened to exclude the radical and messy paths that are actually native to the #openweb, the bad mess they then made, ended up only pushing the dogma of the #geekprolem as it was the ONLY path they could imagine controlling in a way that would not threaten the thin connection to the institutions they were feeding from. This behaviour so often slips into forms of parasitism, which is not a good thing at all.

Then we have the current #Fediverse outreach infrastructure capture, where we’ve seen the same class of actors attach themselves to the most visible projects – like Mastodon, ActivityPub standards, and now “Fediverse governance.” They secure seats on boards. They host conferences with glossy branding and friendly logos. They use these controlled spaces to then push out “code of conduct” documents and “safe space” branding… while closing and excluding the very messy native infrastructure of discussion and direction that is both native and needed.

Examples? #Mastodon’s GitHub, issue tracking, and moderation are all tightly controlled by a small clique around the project founder. Community voices are kinda tolerated at best, discarded at worst. The project is moving onto the #NGO path, no bad thing in its self, but with its years of pushing its own branding as THE Fediverse, it becomes a bad thing. In this, there is a very real debt of damage they need to pay back – as a part of a functioning gift economy – saying sorry and admitting mistakes is a good first step.

Then we have the example of the #FediForum events, pushing into the space blindly, with zero historical context or any actual knowledge, to represent the activertypub ecosystem. The problem is they paywalled and increasingly gate kept #NGO commercial interests are then pushed to the front to represent “us”. When the radical and experienced grassroots voices obviously don’t get involved, as they simply refuse to step over the paywall. This is an ongoing mess, that we do need to compost and not only with #fashionista outrage but with real working paths, we used to do this, but we can’t anymore – why?

Over the last few years we have had proposals for genuine horizontal governance, that could have been used to shift this mess making and to actually shifts power outward – but these were labelled “too messy,” “too political,” or “not the right time.” This is not accidental, it is liberalism functioning as control – with a smile. So… what can we do? Let’s be clear: This is a power issue. It’s not about bad intentions. It’s about how power is used, and then abused, even in the so-called “horizontal” paths.

The first thing we have to do is recognise the smell of #NGO-style liberalism that so easily hides itself in good intentions, grants, DEI language, and “process.” But it then ends up:

  • Disempowering community autonomy
  • Replacing radical potential with “professionalism”
  • Marginalising away activists and messy real-world projects
  • Recreating the same vertical hierarchies, just with better “open” branding

Composting this mess is needed to break the cycle:

  1. Build and back native projects. The only way to push back against capture is to grow infrastructure from within our communities, like: #OMN (Open Media Network) #OGB (Open Governance Body). These must be trust-based, not credential-based. That means supporting those doing the work without demanding they translate it into pointless and most importantly powerless NGO-speak to be taken seriously.
  2. Use the #4opens as a filter, this simple social retelling of #FOSS is designed precisely to push out the 95% of #techshit and focus energy on projects with: Open source Open data Open standards Open governance. Apply these consistently, and the parasite class will struggle to keep and find a foothold.
  3. Push for messy, lived governance, stop waiting for perfect systems. We need to prototype imperfect, transparent, accountable governance now. It should be: Based on trust, not rules-lawyering Driven by use, not representation Grounded in solidarity, not status
  4. Refuse the “leader class”, just because someone has a title, a grant, or a #dotcons following, doesn’t mean they speak for us. Call out the unaccountable influence. Politely or not. Let’s not let careerists write our futures.:

The Fediverse path could be the most important #openweb reboot of the commons of this decade. But it will only be that if we keep it rooted in social power, not polished #PR and #NGO mess. We don’t need new kings. We need more gardeners, to work together to compost the piles of #techshit and keep the space open and safe.

🔴 NEW: Scottish universities have accepted millions of pounds from Chinese organisations with alleged links to the military, human rights abuses and spying.

Our investigation: theferret.scot/scottish-univer…

in reply to The Ferret

Some universities accepted money from companies and institutions with ties to the People’s Liberation Army in China, including those which are sanctioned by other countries.

Other universities took funding from institutions and tech firms accused of helping the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spy on and target users, spread misinformation and abuse human rights.

in reply to The Ferret

The director-general of MI5 last year warned vice-chancellors that China and other states the UK Government views as adversaries are attempting to steal technology from universities that can “deliver their authoritarian, military and commercial priorities”.

The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China said The Ferret’s research suggests that funding from CCP-linked organisations in Scottish higher education is particularly prevalent.

in reply to The Ferret

However the Chinese Embassy in London has accused critics and media outlets of “politicising and stigmatising normal educational exchanges between the two countries”. It has denied the use of subversive tactics abroad and argues that research collaboration with UK universities has “enhanced mutual understanding”.

Read the full story: theferret.scot/scottish-univer…

in reply to The Ferret

given the complete cluster caused by the US and UK governments and the countries to which they contribute money, I would have thought that China is one of the least worst options nowadays.
