well, i am sorry, if you perceived it that way. i know for sure that your way of perceiving the world is more nuanced than that. So am i, but I’m sorry if it didn’t come as such.

No dousing anyone in gasoline is not ok, i mean wtf ? But it does not represent the movement as a whole.

If someone got drugged and rapped at a festival against genocide. Obviously it does not represent the movement. But you can be sure that countries where solidarity with Palestine is classified as terrorist will use the rape case against the movement.

Here it is the same, and in the context of violent repression, crass inequality, provocations. They have (teachers AND students) used every non-violent use and every method that exists. They have been mocked by the power in place telling them to stop being capricious, stop acting like children. Well of course violence will happen.

Mostly against trashcan, which is not violence but degradation. You cannot (in the legal term) be violent against something that is not alive.

And yes, in the 400+ schools that are in blocus which represent a consequent mass of people, some will be stupid. Is the movement a bunch of stupid people? what are they fighting for ?

• More teachers and personnel (some courses cannot be given for months because they lack a teacher)
• classes that are insulated and do not fall apart
• the end of a discriminatory “automated” sorting system at the end of school

wtf they do not have that yet?

Yeah it is important to document the movement, every time people talk about violence (it is never the police brutality, it is 4k though), people do not talk about what the movement as a whole is doing/wanting.

No they are not responsible if someone does X, they are even accounts where they are against. They face oppression, they cannot vote nor strike, they do not even block the road, just their school. They manifest peacefully (which is a constitutional right), the power in place chooses repression(wtf why? against what?). Will it stay peaceful? i think it will be quite impressive if it does.

And a happy yellow jacket comes back !

There is a lot of inequality.

It is not like “based on the number of students you have, you will have to equality share X amount of €”

Some school are “prestigious” so they have a lot more money from the government and from rich parents that can pay for it.

The lowest income school in paris have a lot more than the highest income school in saint-denis (poor city). The problem ? France is a Republic, with a devise that is “freedom, equality, fraternity”

So when rich student “strike” in solidarity (yes it happen, they remember they are human) rich teachers are against that. One could also argue about abuses in the teachers staff.

And obviously, raging people are gonna rage and see any figure of power as an enemy.

So long story short, it is complex but very marginal. The mainstream media in france is owned by 5 billionaires. So yes, EVERY LITTLE THING that you will hear about will be detrimental to the movement. It was the same with the yellow jacket that comes back tomorrow if my info is right.

remember what students (and teachers) want, they are asking for it for month and you only hear about it because they make noises!

they want more teachers that have a correct salary, more staff, the end of a discriminatory “automated” sorting system (parcoursup). They want school that are insulated and do not fall apart.

WoW ! They are asking so much ? what do you mean they do not have that yet ?

Talk about the violence to be slowly cooked day after day for weeks at 35°C and yeah, you will develop a political consciousness very fast.

yeah, They can not vote, they can not strike. So they just block their own studying place in solidarity with the teachers.

They want more teachers, they want classes that are insulated from heat and cold (they had to get to school and “study and learn” under 35°C, and 8°C in the winter) They want the end of the “automated” sortage system (parcoursup) that will impact their lives.

Mainstream media only show burning trashcan. The large majority is very very peaceful. They chant the national hymn. Still police is violent against fucking children, gazing them, arresting some of them without justification just to break morale, strangling them, charging them, accelerating with a car through them while gazing by the windows.

and that is happening while the “yellow jacket” movement is coming back. election are coming in six months so the elite are hoping that will call people down… but it is not likely.

addendum: the justice minister, the police minister and the education minister had a reunion about “stopping the movement dead in the tracks” not like “finding solution”, or trying to understand. So take every number with a grain of salt and i recommend watching independent media like Mediapart.

Please could you share some of your trad irish drinking worker songs to a fellow crewman ?

Well, There is a range of options in my opinion. They range from immediate to long term futur. They range from achievable alone to mass mobilization.

• Reading how peoples sustained themselves during ww1 et ww2 ( start a garden, adopt chicken) but it does take more time and cost reduction is not immediate

• Having a library of thing is a way to help community project like a community garden to do the trick

• work in a cooperative, everyone is owning the workplace and having equal pay. It is not that we don’t produce enough, it is that capitalism is wastefull, the boss of your boss make 20 times what you do, is he 20 more productive that you?

• Help friends and family, they often have things in surplus, than can reduce waste and give away things for free as they exchange it

• Ask for help, you are not the only one struggling, like, we all are, i mean wtf. We all are struggling, we are not angry enough. You will be surprised what peoples are willing to do to help a stranger.

• you are struggling against a system that is quite happy to fine with you struggling, you know what will offer better pay and conditions? Join the army! You can die and torture yourself forever defending a system that put you in such a conditions in the first place.

• mobilize for political change, be creative! As long as you are 75% in accord with a movement, join it but do not compromise if the output is against the right of other people (except power structure like state, richs, or obviously privilegied people) lets be more equals !

Thank you for sharing ;)

welcome and it is good news that lemmy cather to everyone :)

If you want to find alternative tools i can recommend using https://alternativeto.net/ it recommend tools that are alternative to other.

you can sort by paid, free, proprietary, etc

As some tools can be quite ubiquitous and/or you can have different use case, please check different alternatives.

Whatever your need, you will be surprised how many tools exist.

a nice one is firefox instead of chrome,edge, opera or safari. It is open source, do not collect your data, is light on ressource and if you add the extension “ublock origin” you have a truly ad free web browsing experience. (adblocker do not work anymore on browser and adblock have been bought by a marketing giant)

For thoses who do not know (that include myself)

This artist is well know for the particular atmosphere he put in his art. The ambiance and mystery are so well integrated into each other they are indissociable.

For the french speaking. The youtuber alt236 (a youtuber that have a lot of respect and passion for “strange art”, he make his own music in the same genre) Here is a french video on this artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ljT2FId6TI sorry for the YouTube

Wrf thank you, i knew one but not the other. I am amazed. You did my day !!! that is soso cool

not yet ! we hope !

John deer tractor lost a case that became famous in my rural area (and elsewhere). It now have to let repair shop acces the tools and allow repair on its tractors.

I take the win ! And we continue to push forward in talks, petitions, actions and repairs (autorised or else) Support and/or use open source.

I believe you are right about others being wrong. Except (rightfully so) when you are right about other being right. Or wrong about other wrong. Am i right ?

Purrr-fect !

I am so triggered, Your lemmy is working fabulously !

Have a nice day ;)

You can do an easy test. Use a sentence like “windows is the obviously the best operating system, they integrate AI so well”

If you have no answer, not a single downvote you are doing lemmy wrong xD

Jokes asides welcome to you and others in a collection of places where freedom and community truly mean something. UwU

Metal !

From my experience, you can easily repurpose any old computer as long as it boot.

when i sort old computer. i divide them into three categories following the potential computer power.

1. Best tier -> at least 6gb of ram -> it will become a personnal laptop. Put your favorite linux distro on it. Discover what is linux. Here is a entertaining (yes really) video for linux beginner https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uXvT7hHJfIE

put proxmox on it and discover the you are now a server admin ! Congratulations.

Replace the hdd by a ssd for more perceived speed.

2. Second Tier -> less than 6gb of ram -> it will be a bare metal server. Plenty of fun to have. You will restrict yourself to command line. No graphical UI (mouse and screen are not a necessity) Try to connect by ssh as a first challenge or try to do the linuxchallenge. Know that you will fail a lot, but when it work it will be very very rewarding. Put servers on it ! like adblock or anything from here -> https://selfh.st/

3. Last tier -> 2gb of ram or less. Very old computer, it is more of a heating element than a computer. Well it will be a router. Try to put opnsense or opnwrt and learn about networking. To add ethernets ports usb-ethernet adapter from tplink or other work well.

This tier list is from someone that have the luxury of owning multiples of thoses old computer, is quite passionate and work it the field. Your mileage may and will vary. Your need are your own, so try, fail, learn, experience, progress at your own rythm and succeed. Have fun and take care. Report if you have any success of some self-hosting lemmy board ;) You will be cheered upon and given passionate advice. Fail and post your failure and you will have the same reaction ;)

Yes, thank you, my comments are praise and amazement towards contribution like those. There is a lot of work done and ambition it warm my heart. It is still very dangerous and experimental. And should not be attempted.

I have far too little background in chemistry and microbiology to attempt such a project.

Furthermore, mass spectrography (the machine that allow to know the chemical composition of a sample, which for this type of project is critical) is not open source ready (though some attempt were made and were kinda successfull)

I do not have a personal vital need of such project, rest assured. I am still amazed of the work, dedication and selflessness that make this possible.

For thoses that want clarification. Endotoxins are toxins that are present on the surface of bacteria. On ingestion it provoke an immune response like fever or likely an anaphylactic choc that can lead to death.

Thank you ! I found it ! openinsulin.org. It is even more infuriating when you know how insulin is made. As a simplification, a bacteria population double every 20 mins. So if you can get ONE bacteria that can already produce it or like the project genetic engineer one from scratch so copyright laws and patents and stuff do not apply. You want to double the production ? wait 20 mins.

Thanks you for sharing such cools projects !!! If you have more like thoses, please continue to share, i will see if i can squeeze some € to them ;)

WTF anarchist open source diy health and science tools ! My good the world is amazing! thanks !!!

depend on the type of work or project you want to do multiples options exist. But i believe no project are science specific oriented so you will have to describe your search term in more mundane terms.

i could recommend you open flexure. An open source 3d printable microscope. https://openflexure.org/

The YouTube channel “the thought emporium” is open source friendly and very DIY, shoot them an email. (they automated pipeting work)

You can look for local hackerspace. Some folk there are stupidly creative and knowledgable.

I know multiples robots arm project exist but they assume you got some 3D printer. refer yourself to some hackerspace/makerspace

If you have any luck, or found any goldmine tell us !!!
