Da noi si dice "quel che è tuo è mio, quel che è mio è mio".
If property legally comes with responsibilities ("Eigentum verpflichtet[...]", Art. 14 (2) Grundgesetz), then why is there no automatism to expropriate irresponsibly handled property? E.g. if I as a landlord leave a house standing empty, why do I not automatically lose ownership over it, rendering squatting it legal? If I as a supermarket throw away edible food, why do I not lose ownership over the "trash", rendering dumpster diving legal?
These are rhetorical questions, I know that the capitalist system has no interest in expropriation of privileged people / companies. But it seems like it should be achievable within our current system & society, whilst still having a revolutionary / utopian vibe. Perhaps something worth fighting for?
@metacolon focusing on property, the DWE people did get a law drafted, but that is Berlin/big city focussed https://dwenteignen.de/unser-gesetz Still lot's of stuff standing around empty.
I'm not even sure that capitalism benefits so much from them standing empty... monopolists, yes, but "free market" folk 'should' want increased competition.
With the way things are going, it could be time for some high profile action reclaiming wasted space... perhaps Greenpeace want to prove how radical they are ;p

Sometimes I hear non-technical people speculating that this is a thing that could happen and I am posting it here to let them know that yes, this is a thing that happens.

@wlaatje Pardon me for not looking up the statute and interpreting case law ... but doesn't this also require a finding that the rapist was acting within the scope of *his* duties?!
This afternoon I've been mostly lay in bed feeling a bit sick 🤧 but the door bell rang earlier and I went to open up, thinking it was a neighbour that got locked out.
Turns out it was two very charming girls who wanted to talk to me about God. I told them I feel unwell and they instead offered to go and buy me chicken noodle soup 🍜 😂
Is that what religion is about?! 😲 I never realised it was a food delivery service. What's the subscription cost? What are your overheads?! 💼
@matt
Sell your soul for some chicken noodle soup?
That's cheap. 😃

Vergogna: gli Stati Uniti sanzionano Autistici/Inventati per "sostegno al terrorismo di estrema sinistra"
Il gruppo tecnologico italiano è stato designato come entità terroristica globale, con conseguente congelamento dei suoi beni e divieto di tutte le transazioni con gli Stati Uniti.

@sundogplanets Online isn't better for all disabilities, but definitely helps me to have it as an option.
I'm sorry your university has gone over to Zoom. I haven't used Zoom much lately, but last time I did I was really annoyed that they'd shoved AI in.
@ml Yes, that's another reason I like offering at least a couple of online courses. It reaches students who can't come to campus for a variety of reasons (including disabilities, or just living far away).
Zoom is fine for live videoconferences. It is AWFUL for recorded lectures. So frustrating...

"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are never transmitted to remote services and no component requires network access to function.

EFF’s position is that ALPR mass surveillance—the indiscriminate, continuous collection and retention of location data on every driver, regardless of suspicion—should not exist. Because it nonetheless does, EFF also urges courts and state legislatures to impose strict, enforceable restrictions. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/effs-policy-position-alpr-surveillance-eliminate-it-and-reduce-its-harms
Monocles, a #Conversations_im fork, is now making heavy use of LLM-generated code. Including its cryptography.
Meanwhile it hasn't backported critical security fixes that landed in Conversations (and other forks) over a year ago.
Use this information however you like.

Since when is developing encrypted chat, email, and web hosting a crime?
The #Trump administration is criminalizing a collective like the Italian #AutisticiInventati *collective* (is it actually a *collective*?) , whose tech tools can be used by anyone

The US government has designated the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati, which produces the infrastructure of NoBlogs.org, a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," freezing their assets and prohibiting all transactions with them——citing their "far-left" politics and the fact that they have provided services to "anti-fascist" groups for justification.
Autistici/Inventati is an activist-oriented tech project that offers encrypted communications tools, email, web hosting, secure chat, and video conferencing platforms for users who prefer to stay off corporate grids.
This is what the US government is shutting down as "terrorism."
