#Freedom
I wanted to highlight how much the #UK #OnlineSafetyBill means with its opposing art. Most of the people underestimate how these legislations can be such a big threat to democracy. Privacy and freedom is and should be a universal human right, but they want to keep us under total control regardless of what.
Special thanks to
@Mer__edith for inspiring me to create this
And thanks to @nightridefm for providing the needed motivational music for working

I've liked the „Enemy of the State” movie so much, I've made some remixed fan art from the original pictures of it to showcase it, and maybe motivate you to watch it, because it's a very good movie.

Brilliant AP project on how life has changed in Afghanistan two years after U.S. troops left and the Taliban returned to power.
AP photographer Rodrigo Abd returned this summer and used a traditional Afghan “box camera,” a handmade camera and darkroom in one, to take portraits.

I will continue to repeat this
If #Americans want to save their #Democracy and #Freedom
and not end up in a #Russian-style #Fascist society
where NO rights exist
in ALL next elections the #MAGARepublicans MUST be erased from the political stage
they have to lose EVERYTHING
they must be extinguished
This will give the real Republicans time to rebuild the Party
with decent politicians and start doing politics again.
and...
#Trump must answer for his crimes.
Who are those politicians giving a round of applause to Netanyahu?

As the national elections set for January 2024 approach, there is a growing increase in actions taken against opposition groups, activists, and individuals expressing dissent in Bangladesh. Today, the global watchdog organization CIVICUS Monitor included Bangladesh in its list of countries where civic freedoms are rapidly diminishing due to a crackdown on government critics and opposition figures.

“Real #wealth consists in things of #utility and #beauty, in things that help to create strong, beautiful bodies and surroundings inspiring to live in. But if man is doomed to wind cotton around a spool, or dig coal, or build roads for thirty years of his life, there can be no talk of wealth. What he gives to the world is only gray and hideous things, reflecting a dull and hideous existence, - too weak to live, too cowardly to die. Strange to say, there are people who extol this deadening method of #centralized #production as the proudest achievement of our age. They fail utterly to realize that if we are to continue in #machine subserviency, our #slavery is more complete than was our #bondage to the #King. They do not want to know that #centralization is not only the death-knell of #liberty, but also of health and beauty, of art and science, all these being impossible in a clock-like, mechanical atmosphere.
#Anarchism cannot but repudiate such a method of production: its goal is the freest possible expression of all the latent powers of the #individual. Oscar Wilde defines a perfect #personality as “one who develops under perfect conditions, who is not wounded, maimed, or in danger.” A perfect personality, then, is only possible in a state of #society where man is #free to choose the mode of #work, the conditions of work, and the #freedom to work. One to whom the making of a table, the building of a house, or the tilling of the soil, is what the painting is to the artist and the discovery to the scientist, - the result of #inspiration, of intense longing, and deep interest in work as a creative force. That being the ideal of Anarchism, its economic arrangements must consist of #voluntary #productive and #distributive #associations, gradually developing into free #communism, as the best means of producing with the least waste of human energy. Anarchism, however, also recognizes the right of the individual, or numbers of individuals, to arrange at all times for other forms of work, in harmony with their tastes and desires.”
- Emma #Goldman - Anarchism: what it really stands for (http://www.panarchy.org/goldman/anarchism.1910.html)
Why are we as a society so obsessed with conformity? Why can’t we just tolerate people doing their own thing? Yes, we may have to see things we disagree with or find offensive, but freedom goes both ways, and giving others freedom is a small price to pay for our own freedom.

I just had two posts #censored from mastodon.social. I will never know the real reason, but both were just the longest possible sequence of tags, to reach and be visible to a large audience. I suspect what ticked the hammer off were tags referring to "prohibited" substances. namely #thc #weed #marijuana #LSD #acid #tryptamine #hallucinogenic. the posts were deleted without informing me even though I was also using tags such as "moderation" and "noalcohol" in the same post. why is it forbidden to talk positively about these blissful compounds that nature gifts us, while hyperconsumption of #alcohol, #nicotine and #coffee is normalized and even encouraged, and the elite is allowed to indulge unquestioned, including #public #officials?

The #UK Parliament Undermined The #Privacy, #Security, And #Freedom Of All Internet Users Worldwide
"The U.K. Parliament has passed the #OnlineSafetyBill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but #internet users worldwide."

@brainwane In the #USA , the corresponding “principle of inherent worth” was penned by #scientist and #statesman #ThomasJefferson in the #DeclarationOfIndependence.

"Combing through the ordinance that morning, Almond said... She feared the law’s civil enforcement mechanism would turn members of the Llano community against each other. While she’d supported the implementation of the Texas “heartbeat ban,” which relied on the same provision, she said she hadn’t given much thought to how that could pit neighbor against neighbor.

@tante The issue you'll likely run into is that there aren't a lot of goals that the FLOSS dev community has in common *besides* "software freedom".

In her excellent book, How to Stand Up to a Dictator, the journalist and 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa asks: “What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?”
It’s not a rhetorical question.
Defense of democracy entails real risk, and it demands that we put the greater good ahead of any personal ambitions. Authoritarians succeed where private citizens capitulate to protect/preserve their own interests.
Here is a second draft of the EPR-B simulation, with much important commentary about the result added:
#Quantum #Physics #QuantumComputing #Simulation #Ada
I do not expect this simulation to change many minds. The Bohr cult is a cult. When it comes to quantum mechanics, supposed scientists are not scientists at all, but authoritarian cultists.
However, the truly interested may want to take a look at the program. It’s my best yet, for sure.
Two ways of thinking:
"I hear. I fear. I obey."
"I do not trust them."

If you don't believe in same-sex relations, don't have any.

This is genuinely shocking.
A MAGA judge in Texas is ordering lawyers to receive indoctrination from a far-right MAGA legal org.
Every time the right says “free speech,” remember, it just means “power for conservatives.”
A major strategy of the modern US right is to weaponize free speech to give more power to the wealthy.
