#Libervia now supports SCRAM-SHA authentication. Previously relying on outdated Twisted #XMPP mechanisms, we experienced incompatibilities with recent servers like #Snikket. This issue is resolved, and Libervia can now operate with up-to-date Snikket instances.

If you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.

For alternatives, see: https://fedipact.veganism.social

And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.

The current and previous coalition Govts of Lebanon member parties such as Amal, Hezbollah and actual Nazi-inspired SSNP has been actively stoking racism against the Syrian refugees there to much resistance of the legendarily refugee-friendly Lebanese people in general, but now that they have reached success,
"A Lebanese minister said that a state of emergency must be declared to limit the displacement of Syrians, with the escalation of harassment and persecution campaigns against Syrian refugees in Lebanon" and meanwhile "the Democratic AANES region of Syria [a.k.a. 'Rojava'] expressed, in its roadmap to resolve the Syrian crisis, its readiness to receive all Syrian refugees who wish to return to Syria, specialy in Lebanon."

@b9AcE as if Hezbollah hasn't been killing Syrians and creating refugees for like 10 years.

big_louse,
@big_louse@todon.eu avatar

@b9AcE Hezbollah are just henchmen for Assad / Iran anyway, And so they see all Syrian refugees as basically tractors. But I think a big part of Israel bombing Syria is intentionally to create refugees who will go to Lebanon and Turkey.

I’m still not sure if I’ll do an “album” because I have too much fun sharing songs as I finish them, as singles. All the same, if I do, I’ll need a good name for it. So, just for fun…

I like "broken g-string" , hut 'It's pronounced 'Jar'" is funny and informative. Much like your lyrics so I'd go with that.

And then you can play on the Jar thing like "Djar of flies" for the next one maybe

This (Agamben, not the article, which is ok) is the most pseudo-anarchist thing i have yet read.
https://parisinstitute.org/unauthorized-freedom-agambens-anarchism-a-lepreuve-of-the-pandemic/

big_louse,
@big_louse@todon.eu avatar

@livinghell

Sad to hear Agamben became a weird anti masker, I wonder if he augmented his analysis after nearly all covid restrictions were lifted -- while at the time it was plausible covid restrictions would become permanent and usher in a new regime of control, the exact opposite happened:Power seems now comitted not to use Covid to institute a state of exception, but to ignore covid and impose a state of "normality" and ignore the problem at any cost ( climate crisis is another aspect if this normality)

But Funny how agamben straight up falls for a classical liberal conception of freedom and doesn't apply his own analysis to this case.

I think the problem with Agamben and other intellectuals, like Foucault, is they aren't actually working within an anarchist framework, because instead of admitting they've come to the same basic conclusions that anarchists arrived at in the 19th century and deepening that analysis, they want to be special boys who just invented everything wholesale, also anarchism isn't prestigious enough in elite universities, they want to be fearless critics of power while living cushy lives as public intellectuals.

Because they lack a revolutionary mindset they sound like right libertarians when shit hits the fan

Personally I hate how they killed off almost all the hackers and focused on white rose, angela and those rich assholes, there are still good bits and the last season kindof salvaed some of it, but season 3 really wrecked a promising series imo

AOC has supported Pres Biden & most of his agenda, though at times her views are far-left. She spoke for quite a few Dems & Americans on the House floor.

Many Americans agree that Israel has violated #IHL. AOC & some Americans believe that Israel has committed genocide. Regardless, AOC calls for Pres Biden to suspend aid to IL & for more humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. It's not appropriate for the ADL to accuse her of lying & fostering hate.

Biden has now cancelled over $140 Billion in student loan debt

This is in spite of the Supreme Court shutting down his loan forgiveness program

This is in spite of republicans killing further reaching legislation over student loan forgiveness

This is another win that voters need to be aware of

But I’m confused… Mastodon gGmbH and Meta Platforms, Inc. are besties according to Mastodon gGmbH CEO.¹

There must be some mistake.

Josiah Flynt Willard and his report "Homosexuality Among Tramps"

interesting video about this blue blooded oogle poverty tourist and self styled 'muckraker"who wrote about gay hobos

https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=4SNbV_Ci6l4&listen=false

big_louse,

what the author and presumably the readers of this report is that the gay hobos were open about their homosexuality and defended it their right to be so, which is in stark contrast to the hush hush elite gay stuff
