#piracy has literally become easier than trying to legit pay for media at this point.
Because I can get all my music by ripping MP3s with share links on Mp3/4 conversation sites.
I can get a lot of movies/shows the same way.
I can get every movie, show, game and song imaginable all in one #torrent site unless it's VERY obscure and keep it forever.
All for free, and all easier than paying hundreds or maybe even thousands for a million different arbitrary platforms.

🧵About last night: Needed distraction to clear my mind, tinkering w/ electronics were perfect for a change. On top of that ezpz but one of these days list was my OG 3000, a designated JP model (= 100 V mains). Had to rely on crappy power converters for years, until I (literally) hacked an (oversized in every aspect) toroid 230 V transformer into it. The excess spec of the toroid made the 7x05/7x12 type regulators a lot hotter than before. Aside recapping and resoldering all PSU PCBs (done), there had to be a better solution one of those days.
See the ALT-texts for descriptions of a walkthrough.

Il mio interesse per la Guerra Civile Spagnola risale alle letture dei romanzi di Manuel Vázquez Montalbán di cui sono stato fedele lettore in gioventù. I suoi gialli dipingevano una Spagna devastata dalle conseguenze della dittatura fascista di Franco e fu proprio la sua biografia romanzata scritta da Montalbàn, Io Franco, a spingermi ad approfondire il tema.
Sono passati molti anni e ho deciso di rinfrescarmi la memoria. Il link al testo nel primo commento #beevor #guerracivilespagnola
Palestine is a class struggle. While politicians hide behind words of 'concern', hope is in the workers.
Here, Riccardo Rudino, docker in Genoa addressing the crowd gathered to support the Global Sumud Flotilla (a 🧵):
"I want it for everyone to be clear: around mid September these ships will approach Gaza's shores. If, even just for 20 minutes, we loose contact with our ships, with our comrades, we will block whole Europe.

"I wrote it down here, to never forget. Together with our Union Usb, with all the harbors' workers, with the whole city of Genoa - 13-14K containers per year sails from here to Israel - we won't let even a nail sail."
Genoa, the same city that in 2001 witnessed the brutality of the neoliberal 'rules-based order', the city honored a gold metal for the Italian Resistance, today is a staunching reminder of what class solidarity means.
Thank you, Genoa.

Follow the Global Sumud Flotilla, support Palestinians if you can via donations, keep protesting, and boycott everything you can. No activism is perfect,but no action is futile. To quote Andor's Nemik's manifesto:
"the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."

The image shows a digitally edited composition with a fantasy–motorcycle theme. In the foreground, a man sits confidently astride a striking Harley-Davidson touring bike, specifically a Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special in a bold matte bright-green and black finish. The bike features a large front fairing with a central headlight, custom blacked-out wheels, and sleek saddlebags, emphasizing its modern, powerful design. The rider is wearing a gray t-shirt and ripped black jeans, paired with black boots. His appearance has been humorously altered with added devil-like horns on his head and colorful star-shaped sunglasses, giving the image a playful and surreal twist.
Behind him, the background is filled with fiery orange flames, amplifying the dramatic tone of the composition. To the left, a fierce green dragon with scales, sharp teeth, and wings snarls toward the center, adding a fantasy element to the design. In front of the dragon is the iconic orange-and-black Harley-Davidson shield logo, prominently placed as a central branding element. The overall scene blends motorcycle culture with fantasy and humor, creating a vibrant, attention-grabbing artwork.

He must resign.Mr. #Kennedy and the rest of the #Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office President Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite.

Today in Labor History August 31, 1909: Francisco Ferrer, the Spanish anarchist educator and creator of the first Modern Schools (Escuelas Modernas), was charged as “author in chief” of the uprising known as the “Tragic Week,” when the authorities slaughtered over 600 workers during a General Strike against the Spanish intervention in Morocco. He was executed on October 13, 1909, leading to worldwide condemnation. Hundreds of thousands of people participated in the protests that followed, while supporters created new Modern Schools throughout the world, including dozens in the U.S. While in prison, Ferrer wrote the following on his prison wall: “Let no more gods or exploiters be served. Let us learn rather to love each other.” And when facing the firing squad, he said: “Aim well, boys. I know this is not your fault. Long live the Modern School!”
Francisco Ferrer opened his first Modern School (Escuela Moderna) on September 8, 1901, in Barcelona, Spain. His book, The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School, argued for the co-education of both boys and girls, as well as the rich and poor. During Ferrer’s days, the Spanish literacy rate was only 50% and all schools were church-regulated. The teachers at the Church-run schools emphasized rote memorization of Catholic dogma, were hostile to any scientific and political thinking that displeased the Church and often physically brutalized students. In contrast, Modern Schools purged their books of all religion and their curriculum was fully secular. These ideas were so popular that 40 more Modern Schools opened in Barcelona in just a few years, while 80 other schools adopted his textbooks.

It’s basically a link list to refer to whenever you and me are running out of arguments when debating with others why they should consider showing Bezos, Zuckeberg, Musk, and all the other shady actors the finger.
Plus: a list of alternatives, including those in the Fediverse, of course.

Over 15 Killed in Gaza City, One Day After Israel Ends Daily Pauses for Aid

At the end of July, amid international outrage over the conditions in #Gaza, #Israel said it would pause its attacks in several parts of the enclave, including Gaza City, for much of the day to allow humanitarian aid to enter.But on Friday, the #Israeli military said it would resume operations during those hours in Gaza City, in an apparent effort to pressure #Palestinians to evacuate the area.

Auf einer großen Bühne spielen mehrere Musiker, die sich auf einer Bühne mit einem robusten Metallrahmen befinden, der mit Scheinwerfern und Lautsprechern ausgestattet ist. Die Bühne ist mit einem großen Tuch bedeckt, das von Scheinwerfern in verschiedenen Farben beleuchtet wird, hauptsächlich in Blau und Weiß, was eine dynamische und energiegeladene Atmosphäre schafft. Die Musiker sind in verschiedenen Positionen auf der Bühne verteilt, einige spielen Gitarren, während andere singen oder andere Instrumente spielen. Die Bühne ist mit einem großen Bildschirm umgeben, der das Geschehen auf der Bühne zeigt, und es gibt auch eine grüne Beleuchtung auf der rechten Seite, die das Ambiente ergänzt.
Im Hintergrund sind Zelte und ein Teil eines historischen Gebäudes zu sehen, was auf eine offene Veranstaltung hinweist. Die Zuschauer sind sichtbar, obwohl sie im Schatten bleiben, und scheinen die Musik zu genießen. Die Atmosphäre ist lebhaft und voller Energie, was durch die Bewegungen der Musiker und die intensiven Lichteffekte unterstrichen wird. Die Szene ist ein typisches Festtagsereignis, das die Musik und die Gemeinschaft feiert.
