Everybody stick on the legal definition of genocide, and as a strategy it does make sens. However, their is a political struggle, and not as we may expect. "Genocide" word was first defined by a Jewish jurist during WWII, as such :

"Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups."

His works did inspire the UN definition with a more restrictive definition we know today. Raphael Lemkin made a definition that try to prevent inequality, colonialism and oppression that may lead to mass murder. But in preventing hierarchy between people, he made a definition that would make the concept of nationality illegal : every national-state has been made through genocide, according to Lemkin definition.

Personally, I found that silencing this definition to made a new one that allow nationalism after WWII is antisemitic (and racist oc). But I want to underline that the fascist state of Israel is right to point out the hypocrisies of national-state; this propaganda will work until we will stand against our nations as well as against Israel.

Research satellite need to be classified. What could go wrong ? I read somewhere that US classified weather satellite embedded ballistic missile. However, in checking sources I don't find anything.

Their is what Marx said and whats marxists made of that. Again, this is poorly defined in Marx text and spread in a lot of them. You'd rather rely on people that study the lumpen as a context, maybe Jean-Claude Bourdin. However for orthodoxes : "From whore to pope, there is a mass of such rabble. But the honest and ‘working’ lumpenproletariat belongs here as well;" - Grundrisse

Marx position was not about who shall be emancipated or not but who have an interest to struggle for the revolution. In his mind, a part of the proletariat was too precarious, and could be easily corrupt by the bourgeoisie. Such as thieves and cops.

However with the development of the communists party and their propaganda around ouvrierism, the pride of workers turn to be the pride to work. The lumpen became a slur against people that do not work enough; a conception close to the far-right view of unemployed "parasites". That's why nobody use that term anymore, even if it's still accurate for cops and managers

"We think that middle-management employee and cops have distinct interests than other workers" That line came from the previous website of the CFE CGC, the french "trade union" of managers and cops. It's cops federation is a fascist one, and their help engineer from the metropolis getting job in colonized area instead of autochtones people

One World, One Struggle

The Global May Day campaign aim to build an international solidarity each 1st of may

The Global May Day is a project for (grassroot) labour unions and initiatives supporting labour struggles. Besides the focus on common coordinations for the annual May Day, the Global May Day infrastructure helps to put groups and individuals in contact so that they can share information as well as resources and initiate Solidarity Partnerships. Local self-organisation is encouraged as much as possible. The Global May Day platform seeks to enable local and regional structures to share successful practices and inspiring ideas.

I promote encryption in my union, association and workplace. Currently, not every computer run linux, and some still run windows.

However, I succeed in making everyone use thunderbird; I try now to make every email encrypted. It work pretty well until I try to encrypt a shared address (let say "contact@org") :

The RSA key work well on thunderbird on linux, but fail to decrypt email on thunderbird on windows.

What am I missing ? Thunderbird seems to support ECC encryption; is it more suited ?

 

What do you think of stoat ? I didn't find any comparison with other safe messaging service.

I understand that legally, it's under the GDPR but it's depand of the UK, famously imply in the 5 eyes States.

3 parties services are used, which may imply metadata leaks' and I didn't saw any mention of end-to-end encryption, OSR or other safety feature.

Stoat sell itself as safety focus. Do you think it's still an interesting app, compare to other chat service like mattermost, or do you think it's a safe-scam like Theema or proton ?

 

Hi, I've found some resources to Jailbreak the Nintendo Switch. However I've got some bad experience with jailbreaking with nintendo stuff. Futhermore, my Switch is updated, and it seems to not be a good thing.

Do you have some more updated resources to do so ? Do you have some advice ?

Thank you very much

 

An international law enforcement operation has taken down Matrix, an encrypted messaging service used by criminals.

French media mainstream relay the propaganda of the cops, telling that the interception has been made with "innovative technology", but without any details. They also telling that :

European authorities have dismantled Matrix, an encrypted messaging platform made by criminals for criminals. https://cybernews.com/cybercrime/authorities-take-down-matrix/

An expression found in other media; it may be communication from cops.

Do you have any idea how that has been possible ? Do you think they may be issue with matrix or some of the softzare that implement it ? Or do you think that cops compromise terminal (phone or computers) ? I'm more and more suspicious with open network, that let organization enter into the federation, and let it intercept communication.

 

As a member of a revolutionary union, we are supposed to organized in industry union. However, industries are not that clear nowadays; our workplace are often linked with many industries. So, we often make inter-professional unions. This is related to our mistrust of corporatism; we analyzed a lot of tensions and treason of other unions as the defense of specific job (i.e teacher, and not whole workers of education)

But, when people speak of unionized, their first question is related to a union link to their specific job.

Where you are, is corporatism a thing among the workers ? among their organization ? Do you think this is an issue ? How do you deal with it ?

 

The brand new Sex Workers Section of the CNT union of workers and precarious of Strasbourg (CNT - STP 67) call to mobilization for the International day of the Sex Workers Struggles. This day was chosen since the church occupation of Lyon in 1975; if french laws have changed, discriminations remain.

In some city, outside any legal frame, cops are chasing sex workers in the street. The french juridiction is supposed to "protect sex workers from pimp. In fact, it sanctions people helping sex workers, including roommates or relatives, where GAFAM and platforms that actually exploit them are not threaten in any way.

The french situation is one of many incarnation of the discrimination against sex workers internationally. On the contrary of the historical sex workers organization (the STRASS), this section is organized in an inter-professional confederation (CNT) and internationally (CIT)

 

Are they some graphic card benchmark for linux environment ? From my windows experience, drivers are important, and often underestimate. My linux gaming experience is very bad, lots of my game are unstable, and others use a lot more resources than with windows. However, when I ask people, some of them have no issue at all, even with a similar environment (Debian + Steam). I may consider buy specific graphic card to stay on linux, but I couldn't find any clue to know which one are more adapted.

Thx for your leads !

 

I host i2p on a rpi 3 in order to use it as a mutualize gateway for my private network. i2p consume so much ressources that I couldn't even curl it's web interfaces. It try to get some info on what are the hardware requirements, but didn't find anything.

  • What are the minimal hardware requirements for the current version of i2p ?
  • Is it a good idea to mutualise a gateway on a private server ?
  • If so, is it a good idea to give access to this gateway through a VPN ?

Thanks for your answers
