Voor morgen vraag ik alvast: hebben jullie de documentaire gezien? Ze is best heftig, maar toch erg indrukwekkend. De inhoud deed me denken aan de situatie in ons eigen kikkerland.
Ook in dit land is er onrecht met hoe onze kameraden, de vredesactivisten, Palestijnse betogers en klimaathelpers worden gearresteerd.
Dat is geen Nederland: het arresteren en monddood maken van deze kameraden is onrecht, ontucht en onvrede jegens de Nederlandse samenleving
Juist daarom vind ik het belangrijk stil te staan bij het linkse geluid: of dat nu Manifest, Joop, of IndyMedia is. Dat we ons moeten verenigen, elkaar met alle middelen steunen, en zorgen dat Nederland weer Nederland wordt: een samenleving waarin Troelstra zich uitsprak jegens onrecht, een samenleving waarin de Friese vrijheid bestond en een waarin heldinnen als Hannie Schaft opstaan jegens fascisme.
De Renaissanceschool, de basisschool gestart door de extreemrechtse partij Forum voor Democratie, heeft gesjoemeld bij het verkrijgen van een rijkssubsidie voor de oprichting. Dat meldt de Volkskrant maandag. Die subsidie is verkregen op basis van een marktonderzoek dat ernstige methodologische tekortkomingen had. Zo werd voor de ouders verzwegen dat het om een Forum-school ging.
De school in Almere Poort is in augustus van dit van start gegaan met welgeteld vier leerlingen in de klas. De rijkssubsidie die de partijschool ontvangt bedraagt op dit moment 507 duizend euro per kalenderjaar. Om daarvoor in aanmerking te komen moet er voldoende animo zijn voor de bouw van een nieuwe school. De Volkskrant schrijft:
Ouderverklaringen zijn de geijkte weg, maar het lukte niet om daar genoeg van te verzamelen. Daarom weken de oprichters uit naar de alternatieve methode: een marktonderzoek. Dat mag alleen worden uitgevoerd in wijken waar veel gebouwd gaat worden. De FvD-school is de eerste school die via deze route wordt bekostigd.
Behalve dat de school onderdeel is van Forum voor Democratie, werd bijvoorbeeld ook niet vermeld 'dat op de Renaissanceschool aan jongens en meisjes verschillende lesmethoden zullen worden aangeboden'. Dat bleek bij de onderwijsinspectie ook niet bekend.
De krant meldt verder:
D66-Kamerlid Ilana Rooderkerk meent dat de school ‘onder valse voorwendselen’ is gestart en stelt maandag Kamervragen. ‘Van dit soort misleidende onderzoeken moeten we af, want het zijn kinderen die daarvan de gevolgen ondervinden. Zij mogen nooit speelbal worden van een politiek project.’
So, I have a question on Motorola Mobility. The company is Chinese-owned, but US-based. This means it's subject to the invasive CLOUD Act, and that US kangaroo courts even can require parent companies to provide that data.
Android also would lock down Android from september 2026, meaning that vendor-independent downloading (sometimes falsely named 'sideloading') would be rendered impossible, and all apps must be from verified developers, for which they'd have to give identification, iirc.
So how would a custom OS like e/ or GOS be affected by this? How would the latter ensure it's not subject to the CLOUD Act? Or not affected at all downstream due to the locking down?
Sure, Motorola would qualify for the hardware specs needed for GOS, but legally considering, aren't there issues? I'm considering to get a new phone that would be good privacywise, but I don't like the thought of depending on the USA or China. It almost feels like a fed honeypot that way. Ethics is important to me.
I've thought about getting a Jolla phone with Sailfish instead, since that's practically Linux. Or a Fairphone with e/, but from what I hear there are concerns surrounding privacy.
So I've no idea what to do. My ideal would've been a Fairphone with hardware suitable for GOS, and then having GOS on it, but alas. If there's another option for phones also, I'd like to know.
In Haarlem heeft een groep mensen enkele dagen geleden vreedzaam geprotesteerd tegen de samenwerking van de pro-apartheidterreurgroep "Christenen voor Israël". Ik bericht dit namens een vriend van een vriend die hiervoor protesteerde, en die uit veiligheidsoogpunt anoniem wil blijven, aangezien de pro-fascistische politie blijkbaar hen in de gaten houdt.
Deze groep van minder dan vijftig mensen heeft uren buiten gestaan, voor de kerk waar een groep mensen openlijk besluit om de Palestijnse genocide te voortzetten.
Wat doet de politie?
Dertig agenten, een hond en drone die foto's maakt, erop afsturen. Vervolgens zetten zij maskers op, en roepen anderen op om hun gezichtsbedekking weg te halen, en om weg te gaan.
De redenen worden niet genoemd. Mensen konden de kerk verlaten en binnenkomen zonder incidenten. Vervolgens heeft de politie wapenstokken gereedgemaakt, helmen opgedaan, en met een bepantserde wagen 40 ongewapende, vreedzame demonstranten, gepoogd het water in te duwen, en in het nauw gedrukt. Hierbij stalen ze borden en braken ze die, de borden die demonstranten gebruikten om zichzelf tegen politiegeweld te verweren. Vervolgens zijn ze een metalen brug op geduwd, in het nauw, en heeft de politie actief intimiderend gesproken. Dit terwijl de politie openlijk met enkel de pro-Israëlitische terreurgroep spreekt, in plaats van met vreedzame Palestijnse demonstranten, die wellicht opgepakt zijn.
Dit is staatsterrorisme door de politie. Onthoudt: de Politie arresteerde SLECHTS DRIE mensen in Loosdrecht. De politiek, inclusief Yesilgöz, weigert het terrorisme te noemen. Dit waar mensen die zich uitspreken tegen genocide, als ongedierte worden behandeld.
#KOM IN AKTIE #SPREEK JE UIT, #DOE MEE AAN DE TEGENDEMONSTRATIE OP 16 MEI OM 13 UUR IN HET HAARLEMMERHOUT.
Voor Nederland, voor vrijheid, voor veiligheid en tegen onderdrukking!
The Uštase were a fascist puppet regime of Nazi Germany. Under their totalitarian regime, a persecution followed of all who were deemed state enemies.
About 500-1,500 children died in there. The communist-led Yugoslav Partisans liberated the camp and gave the children food, helping them escape.
Collaborators who did daily administration of the camp include the Company of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, which still exists today.
On 26 August 2010, the 68th anniversary of the partial liberation of the camp by the Partisans, children who died at the camp were commemorated in a ceremony at a monument in the Jastrebarsko cemetery. It was attended by mainly members of the Union of Anti-Fascist Fighters and Anti-Fascists of the Republic of Croatia. No journalists, locals, politicians or officials attended the memorial, aside from the local deputy mayor, Aleksandar Stanić, who attempted to claim that the locals "have nothing to do with what happened in the camps".
Some survivors, such as Milan Vujić, survived thanks to Croatian families and inhabitants who opposed the fascist regime, helping them to regain strength.
Remember that no matter one's nationality, there is good in people - to fight for liberation of the oppressed, to be oneself. To cooperate and fighting fascism: that is the duty of all.

Santa Rita Massacre (1982) On this day in 1982, the Salvadoran army assassinated a group of Dutch journalists and FMLN soldiers in violation of international law
Santa Rita Massacre (1982)
Wed Mar 17, 1982

On this day in 1982, the Salvadoran army assassinated a group of Dutch journalists and FMLN soldiers in violation of international law. The murders caused international outrage, and the colonel who ordered the attack fled to the U.S.
The four journalists had arrived in El Salvador on February 24th, 1982 to report on the ongoing Salvadoran Civil War, fought between the right-wing military junta ruling the country with U.S. support, and the left-wing Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN).
As part of their work, the journalists visited Mariona prison in San Salvador to interview and film prisoners accused of belonging to the guerrilla forces. The videos filmed by the journalists included shots of prisoners' scars, which the prisoners said were the result of torture.
This work earned the ire of the military, and the journalists were interrogated by the Director-General of the Treasury Police on March 11th. Despite being advised to leave by Jan Pierre Lucien Schmeitz, another Dutch journalist, as well as their FMLN contacts, the group decided to stay to complete their work.
On March 17th, 1982, soldiers from the Atonal Battalion, acting on orders from Colonel Reyes Mena, assassinated the journalists while they were traveling with a group of five FMLN soldiers. All but one of the FMLN guerillas survived.
The deaths caused international outrage, including mass protests in the Netherlands. The Dutch government conducted an investigation which uncovered the fact that U.S. soldiers were present at the base the day of the massacre.
The 1993 Report of the UN Truth Commission on El Salvador concluded that the murders were a targeted assassination by the state (not an "accident", as the Salvadoran President claimed), and were in violation of international law. The report was aided by the testimony of "Martin", the lone survivor of the attack.
Salvadoran Col. Reyes Mena, whom the U.N. concluded ordered the massacre, fled to the United States after the incident. Reyes Mena was discovered in Virginia and confronted at his home by the Dutch organization ZEMBLA in 2018.
The Gaza Executive Board of the Board of Peace has three European members: Sigrid Kaag, Tony Blair and Nickolay Mladenov.
As a former diplomat (career at the United Nations) and politician (deputy prime minister of the Netherlands from 2022-2024 and leader of a centrist liberal party from 2020-2023), Sigrid Kaag's decision has de facto brought a semblance of respectability to this Board that makes it now easier for other European countries to join.
Am I the only one who is perplexed by this decision by Sigrid Kaag?
Zie de titel. Ik zit te denken aan vrijzinnig-socialistische/communistische media. Dat kunnen bijvoorbeeld de Jacobijn en Vrijheid zijn, maar ik vraag me af of er ook meer is, dat Nederlands is en coöperatief georganiseerd.
I was on the community-shown planet UD22-Delta (Eissentam) with the big egg. Searching for a portal. Saw their fun discussion about eggs and Jedi temples and wanted to join in.
But as I'm playing on console with microphone disabled... how do I talk with people?
Since No Man's Sky doesn't allow for multiple Gas Giants within a system, I'll assume the following would be closest and skip the gas and ice giants, for uhh... travel time purposes! (And totally not because in NMS they don't spawn on G-type yellow stars).
That is;
• Single, Yellow G2V-type star
• Low/No Sentinels on any worlds
• 6 worlds, 1 Moon
Mercury (Dead; grey)
Venus (Scorched; yellow air with dark rocks, as few flora/fauna as possible. No water. Weather: Extreme)
Earth (Lush, Paradise; blue sky and water, sandy-like beaches, green-brownish land with normal animals and plants. Weather: Clear)
Moon (Dead moon, grey)
Mars (Irradiated, as few flora/fauna as possible. No water. Weather: Normal)
::: spoiler Optional extra
If we still want to include some of the ice/gas giants, we could pretend the Sun to be an X-type 'purple' star, as their temperature isn't given. In that case:
Jupiter (Waterworld. Weather: Extreme. Light brown with a ring).
Saturn (Waterworld. Weather: Extreme. Yellowish with a ring).
Titan (Moon; Toxic biome. Weather: Clear. Yellowish atmosphere, light brown ground, dark "water", ie. methane).
I picked Titan 'cus, it's fun and one of the more likely candidatea to eventually develop life, and it has lakes!
:::
I'm not sure if this idea list could be improved or not, but might be a fun challenge for the community. It makes me think, maybe HelloGames should add in a possibility for 'small' Gas Giants, so that those can be generated in systems with more planets.
And I don't know if there are non-Dead planets without flora and fauna, but they totes should be a thing.
The mountain is so high that it reaches the clouds. But what's even more special is that for some reason, it's one of like a very few mountains on the planet - it's freestanding. You can actually even see the planet's curvature with it.
I think that if you were to build a base there, you could probably reach for the sky.
See title. Basically, I've been searching for
specifically Paradise worlds -- ie., Lush planets with few Sentinels. But it seems I never come across any of them.
Does Permadeath disable them altogether?
And what if you change game settings when you already launched Permadeath and are in it? Would that invalidate achievements?
I'm only just beginning to get going in the Permadeath (it's hard) and holy shit. I don't know if we'll ever meet again, Yung Crocker, but I love you all folks.
Thanks for the resources

I have a flying companion, -- if anyone wants an egg, just lemme know. In fact there's a whole ass planet with high flying, snakelike companions, that do land (by bumping into the hills)!
