‘Make Germany Great Again’: How the German People Reacted to Nazism by Andrew Sangster, 2025

After the Second World War the Allies in referring to the German people used the term ‘collective guilt’, which, after minimal research, appeared unfair. There was active opposition to Hitler from the moment he led into war, which ranged from young teenagers, to undergraduates, to top-level civil servants, diplomats, and to the highest ranks in the military.



As the moral depravity of the Nazi regime became apparent many Germans turned against the regime, although there was always the dedicated fanatic. They had become a repressed society, watched by Himmler’s SD and above all feared interrogation by the Gestapo, what one German described as the ‘silence of the graveyard’. This did not stop what may be called passive resistance which this book also explores, using the work of German diarists who wrote their accounts not postwar with the benefit of hindsight, but with genuine integrity at the time as events were unfolding. This book explores not just the resistance culminating in the 20 July Plot, and the divisions of opinions amongst the various resistance groups, but also the reaction of the German public, a question which the reader may feel obliged to ask where he or she may have stood under the circumstance of the day and under such a regime.

BlueSky and Mastodon have millions in funding, and I love that for them.

Funding can help, but you don't need millions in the bank to build platforms and experiences people love.

Pixelfed is proof, now with 1M+ people, it just goes to show that dedication and a vision can get you far.

So build. 🚀

been reading up on message layer security but it seems like a dead end for distributed systems. requires trusted central servers to handle key material. the proposal/commit system seems similar to how I did things in brassica chat but centralized and sans capability security.

- An Activist's Guide to Defeating Fake News by Simona Levi et al., 2024

Xnet - Don't blame the people, don't blame the Internet. Blame the power

This is THE activist's guide to defeating fake news and blocking policies that use disinformation to curtail civil rights and freedoms.

Power has lied to us since the beginning of time. The methods and technologies used have differed, but lying is in power's DNA.





 In the institutional agenda, disinformation is used to say that the problem is with us (as usual) but, in fact, it's with them. We have had enough. This book shows how and why power has always created disinformation and how today's fake news is just that same age-old lie and propaganda going by a different name. We provide rock-solid solutions: first, more democracy, and second, a brand new systemic labelling method.

One of the more overlooked (but no less insidious) aspects of AI is its purpose to deskill the workforce. Workers are much easier to exploit if they no longer know how to code, design, engineer, write, or even think. Labor has much less power without skill.

🐧 Pourquoi si peu d' (ex-) en , alors que la France en regorge ?
Est-ce la mutualisation publique, l'absence de politique "libre" claire chez Digital Wallonia ou un marché trop petit pour se spécialiser qui expliquerait cela ?
Pourquoi nos , et nos établissements scolaires restent fidèles à leurs solutions propriétaires ?
Quelles seraient les pistes à privilégier pour que le gagne des parts de marché en ?
