Tα ξημερώματα της Τετάρτης 9/7/2025, η ΕΛΑΣ σε συνεργασία με τις Κτιριακές Υποδομές (ΚΤΥΠ) και τον Δήμο Αθηναίων, εκκένωσαν τον ελεύθερο χώρο του Αυτοδιαχειριζόμενου Κήπου Κάτω Πατησίων, στην Πάτμου και Καραβία 23.
Ο κήπος των 2.1 στρεμμάτων που ξανάνοιξε στη γειτονιά στις 13 Ιουνίου 2025 μετά από 2 χρόνια για να γίνει ένας ανοιχτός κοινωνικός χώρος και ένα δημιουργικό εργαστήρι αυτοδιαχείρισης, οριζοντιότητας και κοινωνικής αλληλεγγύης στα Κάτω Πατήσια, σήμερα έκλεισε από την αστυνομία, την ΚΤΥΠ και τον Δήμο Αθηναίων ώστε να επιστρέψει στην πρότερη κατάσταση του.
Στόχος τους είναι να ρημάξει ώστε κάποια στιγμή να «γκρεμιστεί», να αποχαρακτηριστεί, να το μπαζώσουν και να το τσιμεντοποιήσουν. Η Δημοτική Αρχή του Χάρη Δούκα σε συνέχεια της παρακαταθήκης του Κώστα Μπακογιάννη επιτίθεται και εκκενώνει απελευθερωμένους χώρους που μάχονται για περισσότερο πράσινο και λιγότερο τσιμέντο.
Σε ΚΤΥΠ, Δήμο, Χρυσοχοϊδη και εργολάβους, ένα πράγμα έχουμε να πούμε: ΔΕΝ ΦΕΥΓΟΥΜΕ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΓΕΙΤΟΝΙΑ, ΕΣΕΙΣ ΔΕΝ ΧΩΡΑΤΕ ΕΔΩ.
ΟΧΙ ΑΛΛΟ ΤΣΙΜΕΝΤΟ ΣΤΑ ΠΑΤΗΣΙΑ

Einer dieser Indikatoren, dafür wie kaputt heute alles ist, ist ja dass keine Suche mehr "keine Ergebnisse" liefert.
Das wäre ja auch furchtbar!
Seinerzeit, zu meiner Zeit, war es ja mal üblich korrekte Ergebnisse zu liefern. So sehr dass es #Googlewhack als Begriff für Google-Suchen nach zwei geläufigen Wörtern gab, die zusammen nur genau EIN Ergebnis lieferten.
Stattdessen heute mal im PlayStore nach "pleroma" suchen? Erstes Ergebnis ein einigermaßen tauglicher Client, ein weiterer halber, dann totaler Schrott, Malware und unten am Bildschirmrand weitere Werbung. Auf Seite 3 kommt dann noch ein halb-funktionsfähiger Client und auf Seite 7 der nächste.
Vergleich #FDroid? Drei Ergebnisse die 'pleroma' tatsächlich in ihrer Beschreibung stehen haben.
Du musst dich schon anstrengen um eine schlechtere Suche als FDroid zu bauen, aber als Such-Gigant und Marktführer schafft man das natürlich. /s

give different results
Me:
Hey playstore show at least 1 result from the results I got from [pleroma] in ["pleroma"]
Play: sorry, can't oblige
Me: Wait, do you mean that the query [pleroma] is completely different from ["pleroma"]??
Play: It's not the same thing.
Me: IT IS.
Play: WRONG! GOODBYE!
Anyway, both these screenshots with ALT text show the difference.
Also no result in one search appears in the other

I prefer Vivaldi because of its customization, world class favorites/link syncing, beautiful design, best in class notes, tasks, and calendar integration.
My favorite features are the desktop on the new tab (which is open on my desktop much of the day) and the favorites bar which open links with one click. Many browsers strive to be the 'OS of the web', but only Vivaldi truly achieves that in my opinion.
Privacy, features, convenience.

The European Central Bank modelled the economic risks of a series of climate disasters in a row.
If we’re unlucky in the next few years:
“a series of extreme climate events could cause euro area GDP to fall by up to 5% – a downturn similar in magnitude to the economic impact of the Global Financial Crisis.”

So. The far-right in the EU parliament pushed for a vote of no confidence on Ursula von der Leyen and thus the @EUCommission
In support: 175 votes
Against: 360 votes
Abstain: 18 votes
So while I agree that von der Leyen is not the transparent force of democracy she should be, I am satisfied that this far-right Attacke went nowhere.
