@histodons 'Brassed Off' (1996) - not all strikes end well.
'Gung Ho' (1986) - we can change things if we want to change them.
'Pajama Game' (1957) - some strikes end well and sabotage sometimes works.

My frustrations in trying to find a small stuffed animal to clip to the backpack I use every day at school means I ended up buying a cheaper knockoff #Labubu from the vape shop. It is actually a nice light color which softens my backpack a bit and kind of cute so I'm glad I did, but just funny how much labubus and copies have spread.
How Turkmenistan turned censorship into a lucrative extortion scheme by intentionally restricting internet access in order to sell its own VPNs to citizens
::: spoiler Comments
- Hackernews.

In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention. Tor would come to understand that this marked the beginning of a new era of censorship and restriction in this post-Soviet country. But let's rewind...The Tor Community has long been defending internet freedom, running relays and providing bridges to combat internet censorship.
Over the years, the Tor Project has called for action to run more bridges, Snowflake proxies, while we've investigated and adapted our anti-censorship strategies, and shared information about online censorship in Turkmenistan.
Modern censorship circumvention systems are generally built around the concept of "collateral damage", where a censor cannot block access without blocking the entire internet or popular online services. However, in Turkmenistan, the censors' behavior has been strikingly different. They have openly blocked vast parts of the internet without concern for the collateral consequences, sparking curiosity: why do Turkmenistan's censors seem unbothered by the collateral damage their actions cause?

In Turkmenistan, one of the most isolated regimes in the world, internet censorship has evolved beyond surveillance and control.blog.torproject.org

Always follow the money.
Donald Trump may be running an authoritarian political project, but the big money that has been backing him has been running a cryptocurrency project at the expense of the dollar and your standard of living.
When Trump goes, their currency project continues.

Arbeitsministerin Bas für weitere Nullrunde beim Bürgergeld
Nach der Nullrunde in diesem Jahr wird das Bürgergeld auch im kommenden Jahr wohl nicht erhöht. Das geht aus Plänen von Arbeitsministerin Bas hervor. Die SPD-Politikerin kündigte auch härtere Sanktionen an.
Sollte das nicht eine Sozialministerin sein?
Und mit dem was die Bürgergeldempfänger*innen dadurch WENIGER im Geldbeutel haben, werden die ganz sicher das Wirtschaftswachstum ordentlich ankurbeln, damit das BIP steigt und wieder mehr Firmen Leute einstellen. 😏
(Sarkasmus)
Listening to this interview of Rudy from #blacksky, I get the impression that there is no simplifying decentralization. You can either do it on the frontend like #mastodon does, or ask/expect people to decentralize later like #bluesky does. Either way, you will need to explain why it matters and help them make it happen.
[I'm unconvinced by arguments beyond #DemocracyOfReach so far. We don't need "decentralized social media" for community. Start a subreddit/discord.]
