Philly Anti-Capitalist: We Are Not Afraid Of Ruins

https://phlanticap.noblogs.org/we-are-not-afraid-of-ruins/

from O.R.C.A. We Are Not Afraid of Ruins is a film by Greek filmmaker Yannis Youlountas recently translated into English that follows the squatters’ movement from 2019-2024 in the anarchist stronghold of Exarcheia in Athens as they support refugees, resist incursions by organized fascists and the state, and try to live their day to day…

Betar USA, the far-right pro-Israel group with connections in the #Trump administration, making it official by stating that "the real enemies of the nationalist state of Israel are the rootless cosmopolitan #progressive#Hollywood Jews."

Reinventing antisemitism from first principles.

These are the #ISIS of Judaism.

Tweet from Betar USA: "Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me: “Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn’t he Jewish?” So let's talk about hypocrisy. About how the progressive Jewish studio owners, who hate Israel, hide behind this movie, sitting in their luxurious homes in California, feeling safe in their ivory towers. Aside from having a bar mitzvah for their dog, they have no connection to Judaism and choose to disconnect from the homeland that was founded on the ruins of the people who behaved like them in Europe in the 1930s. It will come back to them like a boomerang. No matter how much they decorate their houses for Christmas, they will pay the price because history always repeats itself. They are turning Israelis into the "bad guys," the Palestinians into the "good guys," and missiles and terrorism into the "struggle of freedom fighters." This is their coffin nail as they align with the politically correct studios of Walt Disney. So yes, I am offended. I am angry. I am disgusted. They are cowards. And I will tell you here, clearly: The liberal Jews in America are the main contributors to anti-Semitism in the U.S. They, and the push for progressivism in America, the takeover of communication and financial power, and the use of tools to brainwash our children in order to spread your distorted nonsense."

Tweet from Betar USA: I'm a man boiling with rage. Yesterday, I went with my son to watch the new Superman movie. Superman! The ultimate superhero, a character created by two Jewish immigrants, Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, in the 1930s. The character is supposed to represent hope, justice & light. The actor playing Superman? Jewish. The studios? Owned by Jews. Even character of Superman himself, symbolically & historically, is considered to have Jewish roots. A refugee sent from crisis & war to save a better world, created to empower the Jews who returned from the Holocaust. Ahat did the pathetic progressives in Hollywood do? They trampled all over this. Instead of presenting a character who defends the weak & fights for justice, they turned it into a disgusting political caricature, where Israel (under a different name) is portrayed as a fascist state, a warmonger, & a close ally of the U.S., which supplies advanced weaponry to fight "poor & miserable farmers (the good Palestinians) with pitchforks & stones. And Superman? He comes to save them from bloodthirsty Israel This is literally a film of incitement against us I sat there, next to my son, watching how the film had 1 purpose: to brainwash the world. They took the ultimate childhood hero, who was supposed to represent absolute good & turned him into a 1 sided, distorted, superficial propaganda tool. They ruined my childhood, they ruined the experience 4 me, but not only for4 me, they ruined it 4 the next generation

So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

I'd watch it!

"The Apple" is near or at the top of my "How the hell did this movie ever get studio approval of the script, much less actually greenlighted and funded for production?". It's so bad it's ... well, it's something.

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

Countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles.

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.
