I feel that the Lovecraft is not the same than Lovecraft work. RPG, comics, and other stuff that get inspired by Lovecraft rarely depict the impossible to understand unknown. They are more related with an otherness threat. If if those are unbelievable, they are not unconcievable. Moreover, Lovecraft rarely depict antagonists.

I think that the mainstream adaptation of Lovecraft, adapt the mainstream Lovecraft culture.

I feel you; I miss the sens of deep otherness. I think it's may be a subversion and make it a tolerant depiction.

The colonization have never ended. Without international solidarity and anti-imperialist actions. I found this meme misleading.

I watch the whole show 3 time, and now reading the books. Still worth it. Such a shame that the tabletop RPG does not use any social mechanics well described in this universe

Maybe I was confuse, sorry : the French is an imperialist state, directly and violently. The french army never leave the Africa, from special operation to another. Politics from African countries are so close to the french one, that a lot of them have a flat in Paris, and were in the same school. Until they disagree, and then "their plane crashed" or the small armed group of their country suddenly got a lot of ressources and make the regime fall. This sort of things happen many times, but some specific example have to be known :

  • A several month strike of workers in Tchad have failed because the french state send billions to the Tchad state; at the same time in france, the retirement pensions were questioned because billions where missing to fund it
  • Ore firm couldn't begin it's exploitation in Tchad because of the mobilization of the people. An airstrike killed them. Hundreds died. French army is the only known air force in the area.
  • Fascists in the french army make children say nazis salute or slogans. In centrafrica, they participate in child prostitution
  • An airstrike killed hundreds of people during a wedding in the barkan operation area.
  • Egyptians targeting smuggler (allegedly) have been possible thanks to the surveillance of their Eastern borders by the french military intelligence

A lot of things will be discovered in the futur, like it was for the implication of the french state in the Genocide in Rwanda, or for the war in Libya (in order to kill the dictator that fund the campaign of the president of that time). Those things have an impact elsewhere. Military involve in "corruption" in Tchad now work for bosses in france order to watch workers mobilization ( see the movie "Merci Patron"), or people in the intelligence service involved in africa, could then be send in Kanaky (Nouvelle Calédonie) to scam separatists. It's not a surprise that soldiers imply in regular murders, get out from theirs barracks to smash people that riots against the murder by b policeman (Nahel riots).

I know that a lot of countries feel that france did not fall under far right gouvernent. The truth is that the macron government has a lot of far right policy on a lot topics, and that the social organization of a colonialist (not neo) state worsen those policy. Not only the French state is directly imperialist, but that imperialism turn to fascism

Actually, according to Adam Smith, the meet of offer and demands has an equilibrium, **if and only if ** :

  • everyone could join and leave the market
  • the information is pure and perfect
  • the joining of leaving of anyone on the market would not affect the market
  • and a fourth one I have forgotten (it was 15 years ago t.t)

Leaving without contraint mean that I would not affect you life to stop participate in this market. It may mean that things needed are not on the market, or if their are, that it would be provided by another mean outside the market.

It also mean that advertisement should be ban, or that the information of what exists on the market is very accurate. I was looking for the political system the most compatible with this theory, and I found councilism. And then, I discovered the whole name is fucking Council communism. I was radicalized from libtard to commies by Adam Smith, this how this society is absurd.

The question is why politics, rich people and bosses never appli the most basics principles of the theory they are supposed to use: Historical materialism and stuff

Where do that money come from

In Norway, Healthcare is fund with the Government Pension Fund. Its an investment of petrolum benefits, but nowadays, its wealth is mainly due to speculation. In short, people in Norway benefits of the capitalist exploitation elsewhere.

From an international perspective, it does lower the wealth of workers anywhere but in Norway.

On the other side, in france healthcare was only funds by the workers, and does not participate in imperialism. It's maybe why the french state is so direct for securing its economics interests. Capitalism is note one issue, it is many issues

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
