Agreed, this is a kind of hegemony in which I grew up with the FSF and GNU being the good guys and the best we have so I can't imaging better.

To their credit they exist and their contribution is the best we have so far. Despite full of engineers the western communist movements can't build anything. So W for the libertarians for that one. For now.

    Good... This is called karma.

    We needed a serious alternative since a long time ago anyway. Enshitification of the Linux Foundation hopefully will trigger the rise of a less fascist, maybe even antifascist, organisation.

    I don't get it but why not.

    I would love page screenshot though, not just what is visible but the whole rendered page as one, in a PNG.

    I think the fact that a flyer's designs are AI generated already made them vandalized. Everyone knows and see through it.

    They are messages and politician that hides their fascists/nazi inclinations so I see the point of griming them or explicit what they're stand for. I don't think it is necessary here, like the tesla nazi cars, everyone already knows.

    The best would be to have human-made flyer next to it advocating for the opposite, I see more and more "human-made" logos lately.

    isn't the whole case hot? Usually motherboard has sensors for monitoring the case temperature and control case fans. If the whole environment is above 45°C it makes everything hotter.

    If you can check that an easy test would be to disable you CPU boost. I always do this anyway as boosting is a temporary way for a CPU to squeeze some extra performance at a huge energy/temperature cost. On my stress test this "only" get 10-15% more performance but without boost the CPU temperature never get above 50°C.

    Because the CPU is not warming the case anyone everything is cooler, how much I don't know though. Hopefully this could also reduce I/O on the SSD in general too but a cooler case is definitely better for every component.

    The way to disable boosting depends on the CPU model as a starting point you can check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#Configuring_frequency_boosting.

    It is possible, but it is not a wayland limitation per-say but a compositor one (aka the wayland server), and I say "limitation" if the compositor doesn't have multi-display option.

    Technically wayland is not the issue:

    If you look at your /run/user/[uid] (uid is probably 1000) you will see the wayland "displays" (socket here), usually named wayland-X. The /run[...] is usually set from $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR while the wayland socket to be used is set in the environment variable $WAYLAND_DISPLAY. So running an application in a 2nd session would just require setting the $WAYLAND_DISPLAY to an other value (that exists).

    It seems that Sway is able to do this with the output command.

    This has be true for a while and it doesn't feel right. On X11 things are better and application do not run all the time as long as there is no event (mouse, key or compositor asking for repaint).

    Is there any alternative to make efficient GUI? I am building one because for the longest time Qt/GTK/WxWidget had so many issues and are not meant to directly draw with OpenGL when you need it.

    How could you tell? For me only the things I found fishy were the pace of commits and the constant useless comments but it cannot always be a 100%.

    Also there is a ton of red flags : private company using .org, blusky/Twitter/discord, bloated home page, rust 🙂...

    Other systems such as feudalism share aspects with capitalism.

    I think you misread, this was just an illustration of the "taking power", "One system evolved out of the other" does not answer, nor contradict my point, I know and agree with the evolution of societies from slavery to feudalism to capitalism to communism.

    Meanwhile, arguing that these points will somehow be co-opted by the right-wing is a stretch.

    I feel like you might be thinking about USA, because some European countries it is not a stretch I don't want to DOX myself too much but the "antifa is the real fascism" is a thing. I don't mind you arguing about that because this is not even a debate in those places. I guess the USA right-wing didn't use that rhetoric.

    I don’t really see anything anti-Marxist in explaining how the fascist narrative work

    It is not anti-Marxist to explain how fascist narrative works, "how" it is done here is not following the core principles of the dialectical materialism as I tried to explain with points and sentences. Maybe my English is too broken so I'll borrow the 2nd sentence of wikipedia "it proposes that the world is material, that all phenomena are the result of matter in motion" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_materialism), this is just an introduction but the "motion" part was not a detail but fundamental.

    This video reminds me of the points of Umberto Eco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism) and from where I come from there may be still some debates but most of the Marxists wouldn't use that definition. I think this 1995 publication didn't help, quiet the opposite, and we are getting out of it.

    Fascism is what happens when the mask of liberalism drops and the ruling capitalist class has to resort to naked repression to keep their power.

    This I can agree with, and the whole mask exists because the ruling class doesn't have all the power and the "has to resort" is also an other part of the fact that it (ruling class) is taking more power than before. So the ruling class do not need all the power all the time, hence it likes to bring a mask of "democracy" by giving some to the proletariat. Like the justice system is not run by the bourgeois directly, much like proletariat aristocracy (aka bosses, managers, etc) and if/when the system is not acting as they should it takes back this power.

    You can see such power dynamic before, during feudalism, where not everything was centralized but it "eventually" went there (at different places at different time).

    And other bad consequences of this very specific 10-points analysis is that many are highly subjective and are used from right-wing to attack socialism so...

    All of this is still very anti-marxist in essence to me, not that is is made from bad faith, but it is not made from the analysis for the systems in motion, the power dynamics nor grounded in science. If sociologist would step up and make scientific evidence of those points being specific to such concept to define the limit between fascism and anything else (and I don't mean "1 American study" science but international consensus) I would revise my line, not that this is 100% disconnected from reality, more that it doesn't describes current phenomena.

    Also to push for such an analysis on fascism it would be nice to have other "content" to illustrate how this definition applies correctly, both to describes what is happening now but also how robust it is as it is not describing other political movements.

    Today liteLLM was compromised (account accessed by malicious actor?) and a compromised released was published : pypi package and docker image.

    Official blog post

    The commits have quiet suspicious title with totally suspect content:

    I went away and decompress the payload on can check the code on this codeberg repository.

    From liteLLM github issue:

    How it was undermined

    • On Monday, we temporarily expanded release permissions to allow two internal engineers to publish daily bugfix backports for customers.
    • The attacker had access to three sets of developer github CLI credentials (more on this below). One of which had the ability to run github workflows.
    • The attacker tried to merge a change to allow the releaser to be pointed at a different source repository, but was unable to due to our protections. One of the tokens held by the attacker belonged to one of our two Github organization owners. The attacker used this to disable branch protections and force push the change.
    • Finally, they ran the compromised workflow, pointed at a lookalike repository (Berri-AI/litellm instead of BerriAI/litellm), which signed and published the poisoned artifacts.
     

    Full quote:

    Generative AI and it's applications hold a mirror up to the face of capitalism itself. Under capitalism we are blessed with the miracles of being able to buy anything from anywhere. But behind the curtain lies exploitation.

    Ok I don't fully agree with the guy, especially with the "we are blessed with the miracles of being able to buy anything from anywhere" (you are not me/us) but this is good sentence overall and I feel this phrasing might resonate more to western people.

    Feel free to share your thoughts if this is a good quote and/or a good video overall.
