An art-nouveau title of the Барабанъ (Drum) humouristic periodical, Bulgaria, Jan 1914. The magazine often changed the cover page's layout and title lettering style. Its main editor, Boris Rumenov was killed after the 9th of September coup, after one of the soldiers mistook him for the renowned writer Elin Pelin. The magazine, while overtly making fun of political figures, attempts not to take a definite stance during any of the armed or political conflicts.

Cyrillic funky title of Шантеклер (Chantecler, probably from Edmond Rostand's play), a humouristic magazine, in a 1911 issue. Before the 1944 orthographic reforms Bulgarian added Ъ to words ending in consonants.

Vivement le jour où je pourrai aller dans mon pays en train.

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.

You simply don’t need to.

You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.

Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.

The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.

And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)

I am at a rather expensive #CompetitionLaw conference today & was quite interested to hear #Competition Commissioner Teresa #Ribera's opening speech.

But that she opens her speech calling #Brussels the "Capital of the respect for human beings" just 1 day after the entry into force of the EU's #DeportationPackage that essentially abolishes the fundamental right to #asylum and builds an infrastructure of abuse really makes me angry.

She then went on talking about contestable markets...

I have a feeling i might be wrong somewhat.

Les fascistes d’il y a un siècle aussi ils étaient ridicules, incultes, souvent bêtes, et c’est pas ça qui les a empêchés de prendre le pouvoir et de commettre des atrocités. Je suis pas certain que c’est ça qu’on devrait leur reprocher en premier.

I'm building a new habit here on Mastodon: instead of liking, I try to reply to at least 3 posts, especially on those that don't have comments yet and I love it.

It's so much more personal!

The workshop “Plotting Futures Through Waking The Oracle” explores the relationship between humans and machines by simulating cooperative practices of the future. Moving back and forth between the past and the future, we will journey through a collective waking dream and create shared oracles with the help of Roland the plotter.

🔮 This workshop will be coordinated by Futurology of Cooperation (Anna Czapski and Diederik Peeters) and Open Source Publishing (Sarah Magnan and Vinciane Dahéron). It is part of the plotterstation.osp.kitchen workshop series organized by OSP.

Un #chemin labouré par ci, bloqué par une barrière par là. Pas de quoi en faire un foin ?

Sur notre #carte interactive, vous avez déposé des centaines de signalements d' #entrave.
En #Wallonie, 4 630 kilomètres de chemins publics sont entravés ou difficilement accessibles.

Et au bout du compte, c’est l’espace public qui se trouve privatisé.

Les conclusions de notre enquête participative "Sauvons les sentiers" sont en accès libre sur https://sentiers.medor.coop/#conclusions

I have a feeling Mark Fisher was right about the Hauntology of culture.

Out there on Facebook, under posts of #KDE unveiling their non-binary mascot, sour people are commenting how they'll switch to #Gnome ... as if it was a war and as if KDE and GNOME competed. People get hung up on such silly things.

Friends! With the ever-enshittifying web all around us and the threat of search engines basically booting small sites out of view, I decided to do my small part and create a space where I share interesting sites (besides my link dumps). I sort of copied it from @raphael after seeing #Shaarli does what I wanted to scrappily code by hand. Anyway, here it is, plain, simple and searchable:

We must create our own interdependent web away from big tech.
