Working on FOSS surely feels like traveling over an endless sea, with a sinking ship made out of thin cartboard, just with a single spoon, during a monsoon...
So Codeberg just decided to interpret a stupid, annoying, two-worded spam attack as a far-right attack against their far-left values and Codeberg takes this as a chance to promote a "fight against right-wing forces" (words cited from their blog post https://archive.ph/bvBt0 )
I thought by hosting my projects on Codeberg instead of Github I would support independence and free-speech. But since Codeberg now clearly shows that they are against free-speech, I need to adapt. My projects (especially Nitropage) primary goal is about free-speech and I don't wanna risk Codeberg activists shutting up my repositories, because of right-wing political content published with Nitropage.
Let me know if you know any good, halfway active, non-corporate, unpolitical places to host GIT projects 😅. Maybe https://radicle.xyz ? 🤔)
(I know self-hosting also exists. I'd actually have a Gitea instance, but basically all people are too lazy to register on it and I get absolute-zero interaction on that thing, apart from spam bots 🙄)

Trueee 🙈, the german mainstream has lost their mind 😅
Do you speak german? 😅🤔
You need to translate it, but this is an important read if you wanna know how dystopiam Switzerland has become:

Microsoft silently removed the VSIX download button for Visual Studio Code extensions...

But now is probably a good time to leave Visual Studio Code / VSCodium 🥴

The "why" question is a powerful tool in such situations 😬
Wealthy people who call disabled people egoists when they forgo state for anarchistic reasons and instead hope for voluntary support from wealthy people.
To the question of whether viruses are real, I would answer: Viruses are as real as the state.
If you don't have the money for vacation, listen to this track instead 😋
And or when people prefer convenience over freedom.
Here is a tough one for you crypto advocates 🙃:
Should state schools teach kids how to use crypto currencies?

The next question on my mind would be if these funds also have wisdom and integrity 🤣😝
Yeah I was thinking in infinite amounts 😅🙏.

Great talk on the ethics behind libertarianism/anarchism! One often forgotten thing I was hoping would be mentioned is the fundamental question of "What is property?".
Capitalist libertarians tend to assume that there is a simple transaction behind all property, e.g. "I buy a piece of land, so now the land is mine".
But who gave that plot of land to the very first "owner"? Nobody. Everything started without a transaction. Neither did the original "owner" have a god given right for said property, nor does anyone who buyed it from him, or from future "owners". That whole historical chain of transactions is based on a lie. Truth is that the original owners "owned" it because they were able to defend it with force, or take it away from other humans with force.
Property is fundamentally not based on transactions, but on respect. If there is no respect, there cannot be property.
This also answers the question from the video regarding a land-owner denying access to water on their "property". In that moment they loose all respect and most likely will have to use force to gain it back. The starving human being, on the other hand, has every right to fight for a sip of water.
Link to the video, if the referenced note isn't loading on your client 😅:

It seems that you can only ever have two of them:
Wisdom
Integrity
Money

Friends: When do you come back to play games 🤩?
Me: Shortly, I am currently playing the last round of poker 😎🤙.
Friends: How much is on the table 🤠?
Me: My life 😐.
Great ideas are worth nothing if executed by bad individuals 🙈. Covid showed it extremely well. The decentralization is indeed a facade, for every decentralized aspect they have ways to override it nationaly and voting results are ignored or misinterprered.
The technocrat politicians always get what they want, they repeat until they win - e.g. the majority in 🇨🇭 voted against a swiss electronic id, but the parliament just drafted another electronic id instead - under a different name. We now have to recollect enough signatures so that the citizens get to vote. Collecting signatures for such a "Referendum" is a lot of work, unpaid voluntary work. The technocrats have an easy way to game the system via bruteforce.
One good read for you might be: https://dudeweblog.wordpress.com/2021/04/24/helvetien-die-aristokratie-der-chefbeamten/

Another one, if you prefer books:
Thing is, most articles with a critical mindset about switzerland you gonna find, are written in German 🙈
