@farah A tree tried to kill me and I am suffering every day since.
I have the full right to hate trees.
The same could happen to all of us who are not fascists. This is the time for solidarity.

There’s a great Tim Curry reading of Journey to the Center of the Earth; unfortunately it’s only on Audible.
Too bad there’s no ways to enjoy this otherwise.
@thomasfuchs ahhhh, Prologue is so much less crusty than Audible.
I imagine your timeline could use some sunflowers.
Trump designated an Italian web-hosting provider as a foreign “terror” group. It could take antifascist sites in the U.S. offline. https://theintercept.com/2026/08/28/trump-antifa-terrorist-websites-free-speech
WHAT DO YOU MEAN VIRUSES ARE NON-LIVING??
Last Wednesday I had the pleasure to play again with the great Manu Chao, for an amazing audience at Südbrücke Open Air in Cologne. Manu is an artist who has always stayed true to his ideals and we need his internationalist sound today more than ever!
Found this thing I made ages ago.
You have probably heard about the US regime's crackdown on the Italian IT collective Autistici/Inventati. Someone wrote down what it means and what can be done about it: https://www.wewillfreeus.org/the-server-called-paranoia-defend-autistici-inventati-before-september-25/ (thanks to @geertlovink and @liaizon for the link).
I first met A/I people in Florence when I attended the first European Social Forum in 2002. They provided a room full of computers with Internet access so that the grassroots press could report on the event. Great, friendly people.
Now the supposedly independent ICANN has destroyed the domain autistici.org and might do the same with https://inventati.org soon. A/I will lose their bank accounts etc. The same could happen to all of us who are not fascists. This is the time for solidarity.

I procrastinated moving my dead blackblog to noblogs for so long that the fascists are killing noblogs too now?
*Kolektiva Statement in Solidarity with Autistici / Inventati*
In the face of the US Treasury and State Department's recent designation of the Autistici / Inventati collective as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity, Kolektiva declares our full, unequivocal support to our Italian comrades, and to all those who seek to protect our movements from the clutches of states, surveillance capitalists, and other agents of social control.
Today, as we bear witness to the rise of authoritarian and fascist regimes all around the world, supporting independent and autonomous digital infrastructure has become more important than ever. Anarchist, anti-authoritarian and autonomous movements have centuries of experience fighting and resisting state repression, whatever scope, shape or tactic it has assumed. Today is just another of those moments.
Yet despite the many ways that the State's attacks have adapted and evolved over the years, one thing remains the same: the most effective resistance has always been rooted in collective and international solidarity! Our networks are deep and wide. We're always two or three people away from being in contact with any collective anywhere in the world. And that's where our strength lies.
This is a call for material and practical solidarity with the fantastic people from Autistici / Inventati, but it is also a broader call for political groups and collectives to redouble our efforts to build resilient networks of autonomous infrastructure, and to properly maintain and support them over time.
We need to be creative. Even if we don't all have the specific technical skills to code or maintain network infrastructure, the time to volunteer as a moderator, or the money to help cover operating costs, we probably have the skills to throw a party, a music festival, or a community BBQ to raise money and build support for an autonomous tech project that we rely on.
Each of us must take care to avoid the pitfalls of disillusionment and complacency. We must remember that even where there's a calm between storms, we remain at war with the life-destroying logic of capitalism and the states that uphold it. And as long as we resist exploitation, oppression, and the destruction of the world that gives us life, those states will seek to crush us. So we need to be prepared.
We strongly encourage all those who see the value in building and maintaining autonomous tech infrastructure to provide whatever material support you can to those collectives who find themselves in the State's crosshairs today - such as Autistici / Inventati - or those other tech collectives who may be in their crosshairs tomorrow.
As we wait to learn the best ways to help Austici / Inventati in their fight against the Trump regime's efforts to isolate them and cut them off from networks of financial and material support, we would hope that comrades around the world take this opportunity as a reminder to support the other tech collectives that exert so much (often voluntary) effort to help keep our movements safe.

just saw the franglais phrase "the rest is hystérie" for the first time and I cannot tell you how happy this makes me
If the US government made hosting a fediverse server illegal, would you:
@liaizon
As a Canadian, I'd have to say that I'm open to being a front for anyone else to run a fediverse server. I'm not allowed near important technology, or I'd run a bunch myself to stick it to the fashies.
If you make blasphemous jokes on an encrypted platform like Signal, does god still see it and judge you, or am I ok?
@MishaVelthuis I think God has the encryption keys. But I don't know for sure.
i've gained over 100 followers since this morning and i think all of them know what vim is except me
Rich white people joining the Internet and discovering everyone hates them had a disproportionate effect, I think, as they reorganized the entire government around punishing us for it.
