Gisteren vond er een aanslag plaats op een protest van de Koerdische gemeenschap op het Operaplein. Wij waren daar ook aanwezig om onze solidariteit te tonen.
Er zal hierover nog communicatie volgen maar we willen al even reageren op een aantal artikels die hierover reeds in de Vlaamse media verschenen.
* De politie was niet "aanwezig om de manifestatie in goede banen te leiden." Daar heeft de Koerdische gemeenschap de politie niet voor nodig.
* Welgeteld één flik in burger heeft eerste zorgen toegediend. De rest stond er wat op te kijken. Het waren de omstaanders die voornamelijk de eerste zorgen hebben toegediend.
* Het was geen "pure chaos." Ja, het was verwarrend en beangsigend, maar de reacties van de meeste omstaanders waren snel en to-the-point.
* Sommige berichten spraken over een vechtpartij. Dit is pertinent onjuist.

Wij moedigen journaliten aan om verder te kijken dan wat de politiewoordvoerder hen vertelt en communicatie vanuit de politie met dezelfde voorzichtheid te behandelen als elke andere bron.

Vegas taking a 27% cut by valuing the Canadian dollar at par is giving me the giggles - this is bordering on one of the most successful boycotts in history - FAFO you fucking US fascists - we are NEVER coming back

looking forward to meet you again, talk with you – and if you wish, to you (yupp, we're one of those @fosdem speakers – or rather two of us are 🤗)

And at this place, a HUGE THANKS for your supporting us! Both our talks are on topics YOU funded, and thus made possible 🥰

Ist bei @disroot eigentlich noch jemand zu Hause? Haben vor 3 Wochen versucht, für jemanden dort einen Mail-Account zu registrieren. Der steht bis heute auf "pending approval", also mehr als die per automatischer Mail angegebenen 48h. Support-Anfrage per Mail vor 3 Tagen auch nur auto-reply, dass man innerhalb 24h antworten würde.

Erwarte ja keine "instant action", aber so gar keine, ist irgendwie seltsam (und wenig vertrauenerweckend)…

@kuketzblog steht bei Dir in der Empfehlungsecke 😉

The entire left side of my mouth is one big hurtbox. I probably very much need to see a dentist, as things are noticeably getting worse, but the state of good ol' American health care is preventing me from even considering it, as I am constantly thinking about how much it's going to cost, especially since I'm not home. Such a joy.

AI and IP will take a few threads to cover.

At its core, the themes are similar to what I’ve written many times before.

The capitalist comes to market twice, once as buyer, then again as seller.

As a buyer, capital is happy to get inputs for free, as a seller, exclusion and payment are required.

Understanding of IP must always be rooted in the difference between Department I and Department II in the circulation of capital.

With AI, Department II output becomes Department I input. The current is reversed and the circuit becomes unstable.


AI is the recuperation of the anti-copyright critique.
