this is what the fbi is calling an illegal zine publishing house that gets you 30 years in prison when you weren't even there when the so-called "crime" happened

@dhampirdamsel a bit late but... I've just seen this post. I'm an orthopedist (in Spain that is not the one doing surgery, we are specialists of braces, compression, wheelchairs, etc). Medi from Germany is the best one, and if you want a more sporty version, they do have CEP Compression (they are amazing!)

A very late feed for the #sheep today. It’s so warm that it’s still in the 20s at 11 PM.
These boys are not fans of the heat.

#HolosSocial got a large invisible rework on the server side. The relay receives everything but does not know who follows who, so it used to keep a separate reference for every user. The database grew without limits, the cleaning scripts could no longer keep up, and the app slowed down over time. It now keeps shared content in one place that every device reads from. The home timeline is currently fixed at 30 days for everyone, the notion of inactive accounts is gone, and the relay stays dumb.

@rysiek Thank you kindly, I will definitely investigate!

I found a different but related book earlier this year via some Mastodon thread I don't have handy now - mostly about how there’s an undercurrent in people who revel in abuses of power and will always want their slice of it.

The book was Alberto Toscano's 'Late Fascism', who claims fascism is a foundational aspect of capitalism that existed alongside and within the previously liberal institutions and societies. He points to the existence of seeds of fascism in people, ready to surface when the tides of history change.

Definitely gave me food for thought. My home country (Romania) also has its history of totalitarian authoritarianism, and echoes of it are still present today in how young people understand, and relate to power, looking for strongmen and paternal figures.

L'Africa scommette sul Software Libero per il futuro della scuola: l'unione fa la forza digitale

Dall’Etiopia al Ghana, fino al Kenya, in Africa mi sembra chiaro che la rotta per la digitalizzazione della scuola si faccia anche sotto l'insegna di due principi: open source e sovranità digitale.
Anche l'Africa ha compreso che non conviene adottare tecnologie senza promuovere un'istruzione democratica, accessibile e indipendente dalle costose licenze dei colossi privati.

@scuola

Tre recenti iniziative dimostrano come la cooperazione e le risorse aperte stiano cambiando la didattica:

- Piattaforme e AI "Made in Africa": La Commissione dell'Unione Africana ha annunciato le linee guida per l'imminente Expo "Innovating Education in Africa" ad Addis Abeba. L'obiettivo macro è ambizioso: definire standard comuni continentali per l'uso di intelligenza artificiale open source, piattaforme libere e robotica accessibile, spingendo su soluzioni software interamente concepite e costruite in Africa (African-built solutions) per colmare il divario nelle materie STEM.
- Risorse educative aperte contro il divario sociale: In Ghana, la Ghana Library Authority e l'organizzazione EIFL hanno unito le forze nel progetto "Digital Learning @ Ghana Public Libraries". Rivolto ai ragazzi tra i 12 e i 18 anni, il piano contrasta la disinformazione e garantisce il diritto allo studio attraverso percorsi formativi basati interamente su OER (Open Educational Resources), assicurando un accesso democratico alla conoscenza.
- Competenze Linux per l'autonomia tecnologica: In Kenya, la digitalizzazione passa dalle competenze di base del sistema operativo del pinguino. Il Linux Professional Institute (LPI), in collaborazione con LANet Consulting Group, ha esteso i programmi di certificazione open source a scuole e università. Un tassello fondamentale del Presidential Digital Talent Program per formare studenti e docenti capaci di gestire autonomamente le infrastrutture scolastiche, abbattendo i costi statali.

Il filo rosso? Che si parli di grandi strategie continentali o di progetti sul campo nelle biblioteche locali, la scuola africana ha iniziato a capire che chi fa da sé fa per tre, che le tecnologie offerte dalle potenze globali sono solo una nuova forma di colonialismo e che la vera inclusione digitale si ottiene solo quando la tecnologia è libera, condivisa e priva di barriere economiche.

Here’s just one of the unprecedented measures the Liberals pushed through at the end of this session:

Cabinet ministers will now be allowed to authorize the use of banned pesticides in the name of “national economic security.”

Even if they’ve been deemed unsafe for human health.

Debate was shut down, and scientists, public health and environmental experts were not allowed to testify before the bill was passed.

Another gift to powerful corporations at the expense of Canadians.

Legislation by lobbyists.
