Open source maintainers of major projects (hi) are not ready to accept and talk about how the cultural insistence on permissive licensing is just straight up labor exploitation taking advantage of our addiction to popularity (also hi).
Unlike regular labor exploitation, where there’s really not much of a choice at all because you have to be part of the labor force to get any income and survive at all…

A strange feeling it is, to witness how ppl across the world perceive u. I never arranged my words to be the finest, nor my thoughts to be perfectly ordered. All I truly did was to describe, what I am living—even when words & expressions fell short.
I am deeply happy each time I see how the world stands with us, how it stands with #Palestine, & w every instance my sense of pride grows stronger at being part of this world—❤️❤️❤️ #Gaza #palestine

I have been looking for info on what is happening in Indonesia. Massive protests that won't die down. Police brutality. Ambiguous statements from the rulers.
I found this, but cannot verify its authenticity, other than AbolitionMedia published it. Still don't know what to make out of it. Information welcome if you have any. TY
I found some history on this article, detailing how the current Indonesian ruler, Prabowo Subianto, got to where he is. Needless to say, it starts with Nixon and the CIA, 1955/1956.
Prabowo Subianto will take office as President of Indonesia in October. He is a military strongman with a sordid history of killings and human rights abuses. How did he win the election? An Indonesian socialist explains the background to his rise.

The image features a scene from an animated movie, likely "The Penguins of Madagascar." On the left, there is a penguin character with a black head and white belly, wearing a red bow tie, looking somewhat concerned. On the right, there is a character resembling a robot with a large, boxy head and a body that appears to be a mix of mechanical and human elements, wearing red shorts. The background is dimly lit, with a blue wall and a sign that reads "Children's Room." The text at the top of the image is in French and reads: "Tu demande à la prof si elle a corrigé les contrôles et elle te dit 'à ta place je serai pas pressé.'" This translates to "You ask the teacher if she has graded the tests and she says 'if I were you, I wouldn't be in a hurry.'"
