Another plus in favor of posteo is they will never delete or block access to your account even if you stop paying (you just won’t be able yo send emails).

That’s a very unique trait amongst the privacy focused providers. In comparison, mailbox.org will recycle email addresses after a certain amount of time of not paying, potentially allowing someone to impersonate you by claiming your old address.

They’re active branches in most cities, but they can be formed anywhere, even rural areas. If there’s a local union that’ll take you in and isn’t corporate captured (teamsters being an example of corporate captured, IMO), then sure, that can work.

But the IWW is the only union that can unionize any industry, is global in scope, and is grassroots with a revolutionary spirit.

In some ways, evil is getting the upper hand at the moment, mostly brought on by moderates failing to address basic and fundamental problems forming in society due to being corporate captured.

However, we have a few options at our disposal to fight back:

1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will make the coming months much more bearable, and lay the ground work for effective resistance.
2. We can still effect things drastically with a general strike. This massively impacts their income streams, and can bring the country to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Don’t become paralyzed with doubt and fear, march on and push as much you can. Together we’re strong, separated we are weak. So join up with allies while we still can easily!

Reminder that Piefed’s patreon is only at $13 a month. If you have the means, consider donating to the project to say thanks for all of the work and effort being put into it :)

It’s a bug repellent, and the bugs are fascists, so Anarchy is fascist repellent.

MIDI.

Before the 80’s, there was no standard interface to control electronic instruments, just a bunch of proprietary interfaces unique to each manufacterer. But in 1983, amazingly they actually standardized on MIDI, and it remains a useful standard to this day, with any new versions of MIDI being completely backwards compatible, so your Yamaha DX7 from the 80’s is still just as viable to use today as the day it was new!
