European Digital Rights initiative (@edri) stands in full solidarity with Autistici/Inventati (@cavallette)

"This safe and secure communications infrastructure is a critical alternative to Big Tech platforms and used widely for anti-fascist organising and grassroots social movements, which are already under pressure due to rising authoritarianism globally."

@evan I voted other: condom packs are a great place for them

@evan I think the nature of this question comes down entirely to directionality. Who gets to decide what names are right and what names are wrong. I think the state has the least authority to naming. Individuals have a right to naming themselves but not necessarily others. There is also intent inherent in all names. Is the name being proposed with an intent to improve some situation or is the name indented to cause confusion.

@cwebber https://noblogs.org and https://www.inventati.org have not been revoked. looks like only autistici.org has been affected.

@cwebber thank you for directly posting about this. I think everyone here really needs to rekon with this situation cause it effects us really deeply.

"Autistici/Inventati was never a politically neutral commercial host. But providing infrastructure is not the same act as authoring everything transmitted through it. Political affinity is not operational control. Giving someone an email account does not mean writing every message they later send. That distinction is central to the attack now being made against it."

"Now that infrastructure itself is being treated as evidence of terrorism, and solidarity is turning into “material support.”
This isn't only an attack on A/I. It's a warning to anyone building servers, encrypted communications, independent publishing platforms and other infrastructure that makes organizing beyond state and corporate surveillance possible"

Just came across @sebbiebikes who's biking from Amsterdam to Japan and documenting the trip on @loops

@semilanceata it's pretty easy you just pry off the plastic end with a pliers. Just have to take your time with them and not yank all the way since usually the battery wires are connected to the mouthpiece

@soapdog @computersandblues indeed. They are full computers!

@computersandblues we gotta have a scavenger hunt

I forgot to get the latest longitude

@DeanFarrell @franklinlopez may I ask his name? I also knew a person growing up who worked for it who sorta lost it after finding out what exactly he had been working on and became a reclusive poet, his name was Bern Porter

I skateboarded to the @zlb_berlin to do some wifi-ing and was reminded that they have their mastodon handle posted on the front door. Bravo!

@mi @me is there any documentation of that? would love to see it

@jessienab I touched my lip right after picking this one up, luckily I managed to wash my hands and face pretty quickly, but yeah the liquid is nasttyyyy

@me yeah the one with the battery percentage has an arm cortex lol
