never forget and never forgive.

both russia and iran are terrorist states whose regimes should be toppled. that's why while I am critical of how the war is conducted (whose victims are also ordinary and innocent Iranians), at the same I will not mourn anyone from islamist regime who were assassinated.

and that's not even mentioning what they have done to the rest of Middle East.

even in that case, I wouldn't say it's different on magnitude level. right-wing populists are being scrutinised regularly, same as left-wing populists. ofc in partisan media such as GBNews or Canary you won't see much criticism of their own allies – but that's why they're partisan.

I wouldn't say that BBC or LBC, for example, is covering up criticism or coverage of Farage's racist remarks and his policies, while they criticise only Polanski's proposals.

genuinely asking, in what sense asking tough questions about his past (incl. his previous support for austerity coalition), and confronting him about his dumb policies/stances like "I'd build relationship with Putin", are suddenly "colluding with the media's attempts to discredit him"?

or do you think covering Mothin Ali attending pro-Islamist rally is also "colluding", considering you agreed yourself GPEW response was dishonest?

let me also put it this way: if there would be a protest supposedly against Islamist regime, where co-organiser would be Robinson/Farage or people affiliated with them, and certain Labour MPs would attend it, you'd condemn it bc it means indirectly endorsing far-right. and that's true!

yet when it comes to the supposedly "anti-war" protests organised by pro-regime organisations, we're supposed to give prominent politicians the benefit of the doubt? because they're "progressives"?

I didn't mean that you're invoking religion, it's Ali who did it by deflecting criticisms of him attending the protest as Islamophobia. following that logic, that makes Muslims who criticise him for attending it Islamophobes or racists?

as for who organised it: no need to attend it or even see how GB News reported - you can take a look at the announcement by organisers yourself https://www.ihrc.org.uk/hands-off-iran-flash-protest-today-10-downing-street/

with all due respect:
– it was organised (at the very least co-organised) by two pro-regime organisations, IHRC and CASMII, not even mentioning pro-russian and pro-assadist StW
– it did feature pro-regime placards

these organisers can claim being anti-war all they want; it doesn't change the fact that it was a pro-regime protest, first and foremost. and spinning every single criticism of attending it as "Islamophobia" is shameful. does that make me, a Muslim, also Islamophobe?

it's genuinely shameful how relatively little news & updates about protests in Iran against Islamist regime have been posted in Fediverse, and meanwhile the number of protesters killed is already at least 2,000 – some report it's already exceeding 12,000 and live munition is used against protesters end masse.

some late night thoughts about law 12414 in Ukraine that undermines anti-corruption agencies.

what Zelensky & Yermak are doing now is going down Yanukovich's path and feeding the narratives for left & right wing populists who itch to see Ukraine fall.

it is a shameful day, and state 404 will inevitably use the division it has done in Ukrainian society to make things worse.

it is also a reminder that in the current world of polarisation & radicalisation - no matter the topic - we urgently need the opposite.

on GrapheneOS it is possible to set contact scopes (which works similar to media scope), but while adding scope for Signal/Molly doesn't make linked contacts, WA does that, so even if you remove access, that WA duplicate persists as read-only

removing them requires to reinstall WA & add scope by number

on the last point: assuming someone uses Google or CloudFlare, it will require to put trust into either of these providers that their CSAM scanning algorithms don't flag anything by mistake. And they're not immune to mistakes.

Wouldn't it be better to outline that CSAM scans should be used as a tool for identifying potential harmful content with mandatory human review rather than "if CSAM scanning flags smth, it's objectively true and you must comply regardless of the outcome"?

I see that Georgians who're currently resisting the filthy pro-russian Georgian Dream party played Far Cry 6 and smartly decided to utilise ideas from there :angry_laugh:

"Rule 11: For a Guerrilla, Resolver isn't making do with what you have, it's inflicting chaos with everything you got."

(solidarity with Georgians - I pray you'll kick their ass and force those shits out 🇬🇪)

if we have public libraries where we can lend books, articles, and in some cases even movies in DVD discs, we should have the same public spaces for videogames – retro or not

this could help reducing piracy significantly

Mozilla adding trackers to the K-9 email client is the eventual conclusion of what the company has turned into

But I'm not angry or pissed off. I feel just tired that we live in a world when companies deliberately normalise the surveillance via advertising with the silent consent

Two years ago, Mahsa Amini was brutally killed by IRCG.

For two years, Iranian women and men have been bravely protesting against the terrorist and vile Islamist regime, sacrificing their health and lives.

My heart goes to Mahsa's relatives, and to all those people and their relatives who were tortured, wounded and killed. You will not be forgotten 🕯️

This is a must read about Telegram encryption – so that people would stop referring to it as anything "encrypted", let alone a messenger (in fact, as I wrote previously, Telegram must be treated rather as a social media)

Imagine spending $350 for "smart" shoes with self-lacing... only to lose the "smart" part

Honestly, these business practices continue to both amaze and irritate me (and I haven't mentioned the stupidity of having an app for your shoes) https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/4/24192184/nike-adapt-bb-shoes-sneakers-apple-android-app
