Speak Truth to Power?: 32 Photos Of Real Talk Graffiti
Graffiti has long been a voice for the voiceless, a way for people to reclaim space and share unfiltered truths with the world.
In this collection, we dive into the raw and impactful world of “Real Talk Graffiti” – art that doesn’t hold back. These pieces go beyond aesthetics, delivering sharp commentary on society, politics, and the human experience.
Banksy: Art Against Capitalism and ConsumerismThrough his provocative and inspiring works, Banksy exposes the darker sides of capitalism and consumerism. Pieces like Fat Tourist and Rickshaw,

Den Text zum Spiegel und den Demos habe ich gelöscht. Jemand aus der Redaktion schreibt, die Zahl zur Demo habe bereits länger auf der Startseite gestanden.
Ich habe sie nicht gesehen, aber ich habe keinen Screenshot und bin nicht 100% sicher.
Ich bangte damals am Bett meines Kindes im Krankenhaus. Da ereilte uns die Nachricht eines schweren „Unfalls“ auf der Straße nach Neuhausen. Eine unheilvolle Vorahnung ging mir durch Mark und Bein. Andreas, du fehlst! Wir werden dich nie vergessen. #Natenom#WirAlleSindNatenom
Sogar mein CDU/FDP afffiner Mittelstands-Chef ist bei der Firmen-Kohlfahrt extra mit mir eine rauchen gegangen, um mir mitzuteilen, dass das, was sich #FriedrichvonPapen und seine #cdu_unwaehlbar letzte Woche geleistet haben, mal so gar nicht geht.
Stabilität greift um sich. Wählt die #demokratie , beibeschlaft die Populisten und snackt den Reichen den Kühlschrank leer. #BTW25

Here's a ceramic hedgehog, fierce defender of whatever you store inside its belly. I'm new to this community and I'm a bit like this hedgehog. Since certain social media platforms are showing their true colors, I'm backing off and trying to find a safe place to settle, to share creative stuff, knowledge and fun without generating profit for scary billionaires. This might just be that place but I have no idea how it works yet. cheers! . . . #hedgehog #pottery #ceramics #art #introduction
it was somewhat startling to find two presumably unrelated posts of such egassem-resembling pottery, boosted by different contacts into my timeline, on the same day! at first I thought it was the same person showing different designs, or different stages, but when I decided to interact, I found no connection. wow! what a coincidence!

Der Keksfuchs ist heute 600km durch die Republik gefahren, um die demokratischen Kräfte in der CDU daran zu erinnern, wem oder was sie verpflichtet sind und vor den nächsten Entscheidungen doch noch mal kurz in den Dialog mit ihrem Gewissen zu treten. Er wurde häufig erkannt und musste mehrfach für Fotos posieren.
Danke @Fuchskind und allen die da waren. Die Stimmung war großartig, wenig und sehr freundliche Polizeipräsenz. Kennt man aus Hamburg leider anders.
Ein Kind hatte ein Plakat mit einem Monster und dem Text „Freßt mehr Nazis!“ gemalt, das von der Polizei beschlagnahmt wurde.
Auch ich kann nur davor warnen, diesem Aufruf Folge zu leisten. Mag dies auch für ein Monster angehen so sind für die meisten von uns Nazis kulinarisch unbekömmlich, vom Verzehr ist streng abzuraten, vor gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen wird gewarnt.
I have no links to public money, I have the wrong political beliefs and I have pissed off more people who have that than I can count. So please someone run with this. tldr.nettime.org/@tante/113936…
@janl Yeah. I mean Mozilla is toast soon anyways so that challenge was coming either way.
But this would be the time. To take national and EU money and turn into into action. Not by hoping the market does it but by actually getting it done. A "Public IT Infrastructure Agency" that actually takes projects in, hires the staff and pushes them forward, not as money making entities but as a gift we as society are making each other and the future.
So wie es derzeit aussieht, wird Friedrich Merz nicht Bundeskanzler. Unser Autor hat ein gar nicht mal so unwahrscheinliches Szenario durchgespielt. taz.de/!6064878
ist Merz wirklich so gradlinig??? Mir sieht es eher so aus, als sei er im moralischen Sturzflug in Richtung auf eine Koalition mit der AFD. Jede moralische Grenze, auch seine selbst gesetzten, hat er jedesmal wieder durchbrochen, wenn der Weg zur Macht dies erforderlich erscheinen ließ.
Es könnte auch so sein, dass im dritten Wahlgang SPD/Grüne (oder Grün/SPD) versucht, ihren Kandidaten wählen zu lassen, und dann 'überraschend' der Afd-Kandidat keine Stimmen erhält und Herr Merz dagegen die absolute Mehrheit. Und dann Herr Merz überwältigt sagt 'so war das nicht geplant'. Von ihm dann nicht … - daher: die einzig sichere Strategie ist, wenn AFD&Union keine Mehrheit haben
wer glaubt, dass SPD und Grüne nach der Wahl standhaft bleiben ist genau so naiv, wie die, die glaubten, Merz würde sein Versprechen nicht brechen. Die Grünen in Schleswig-Holstein haben viele Grausamkeiten mitgestimmt. Ich habe da mittlerweile gar kein Vertrauen mehr. Ich halte eine Kanzlerin Alice Weidel auch für realistisch, sollte die AFD mehr Prozent bekommen als die CDU. Und natürlich machen die dann eine Koalition. den Merz braucht man dann auch nicht mehr.
Die Option geht mir auch schon seit Freitag durch den Kopp. Nur: Wüst wird es nicht sein. Das lassen sich die Merkelfeinde, die 16 Jahre gelitten haben nicht bieten, jetzt, wo sie meinen, Oberwasser zu haben. Da ist Maggus dann vor seinem Ziel oder allenfalls Spahn. Und dazu gehören Eier beim potentiellen Kolitionspartner, das durchzudrücken. Die Grünen werden von der CDU eh nicht gefragt und die Spezialtechnokraten klemmen den Schwanz ein (Stichwort: staatspolitische Verantwortung)
Das Szenario liefe auf eine Neuwahl hinaus, mit anderem Kandidaten. Ob der Bundespräsident da mitmacht, ist offen. Übrigens mit gutem Grund, blickt man fast 100 Jahre zurück,als ständige Neuwahlen destabilisierten. Könnte auch sein, dass nur eine 3er-Koalition (rot-grün-schwarz)klappt wg. verschobener Mehrheiten. Vllt. kommt es dann grad wg. Bundespräsidenten dazu, daß Fritze es ablehnt und ein anderer an seine Stelle treten kann. Vieles ist möglich 🤔 Wichtig: weiter protestieren.

Sehe ich es richtig, dass eine der größten und ältesten Demokratien der Welt gerade in hoher Geschwindigkeit vor unseren Augen abgeschafft wird? Oder ist das zu dramatisch formuliert?
Ich fürchte in großen Teilen passiert das gerade. Ich vermute im System steckt noch einiges an Resilienz, vor allem in den unterschiedlichen Bundesstaaten, aber durchaus auch in den politischen Gremien. Ich wage da überhaupt keine Prognosen, ich tu mich ja schon schwer zu verstehen, was gerade hier bei uns passiert.
@Lapizistik Donald Trump hat noch gar nicht damit angefangen im großen Maßstab die US-Verfassung zu brechen. Der US-Präsident hat einen ganz erheblichen Handlungsspielraum und jetzt sitzt dort jemand der nach dem Testlauf der ersten Amtszeit und Installation eines passenden Supreme Courts einfach mal alle guten Sitten, Traditionen u.s.w. ignoriert an die sich alle vor ihm gebunden fühlten.
@HolgerTDittmann Zumindest der Raid von Musks Leuten durch die Datenbanken klang nicht sonderlich legal. Und an der formalen Legalität würde ich's nicht primär festmachen, das Ermächtigungsgesetz kam damals auch formal legal zustande.
The government of the state of Tamil Nadu in India is offering an enormous cash prize to anyone who can crack the code of an ancient script used in the Indus Valley civilization.
I'm just posting this because I figure if there's some big brain who can decipher the script, and that person needs money right now, there's a decent chance they are posting cat pictures on #Mastodon.
The enigmatic Indus Valley civilization left behind a script that today's historians haven't yet deciphered. While amateur theories abound, scholars are increasingly relying on computer science to crack the code
(The EU never had that good a chance to attract talent: If EU states didn't want to play fascism you could actually get many of the brightest and most experienced people on the planet to move and work here. Set some funding/grants up and you could turn the EU into a powerhouse. [Not _my_ reason for wanting to offer people a home here, if Europe had learned anything from 2 world wars it would understand itself as a safe haven for anyone under threat but we have not. If I were the EU my ad campaign to "move to Europe with your startup to a place safe for your trans employees" would have been prepared last year. Like you could have 50% of the best IT security people living here.] )
@thibaultamartin Totally. I did _not_ mean to imply that at all.
Every trans person on the planet should know that they can just come here. Be safe. Thrive. Without being in IT at all. I just want them all to be safe.

wouldn't really have to be a gift economy or anything. Just take all the money currently spent on Microsoft and Google licences in the public sector and redirect it to publicly employed developers who create open source alternatives for use in the public sector. @janl
@audunmb @janl Funnily we’ve experimented with this exact idea on a small scale with @medienhaus at the Berlin University of Arts. The tl;dr: No chance. All the people in power were not only not interested, but feared a loss of influence and shut down any initiative that was brought up. Competent and willing people were “let go”, way more expensive contracts and yay-sayers were are being kept. I’d be happy to learn about other cases.
Honestly: the EU doesn’t even know what to do with all the bright and talented people it already has. Hardly anyone here is interested in building modern companies that build stuff that won’t be obsolete in 5 years.
Major EU countries are making it harder and harder every month to migrate to Europe. Take #Finland as an example, not only they doubled the time needed for citizenship, they are also in process of adding extra tests (other than Finnish language qualification) for the citizenship. They also reduce the time in-between jobs to half (6 months to 3 months) for work visa. And last month they increased the required time for permanent residency by 150% and soon the language test!!
Which skilled worker in the right mind would even consider coming to Finland anymore? Very different language than others, expensive country, super high tax rate (a very social county), super tight immigration laws, not a vibrant economy, language barrier in finding jobs, tight restrictions for family visit and tourist visas,... Right-wing is stronger than ever, and **openly** racist fascist parties on the rise (e.g Sinimusta)
Ah, the problem is that most of the EU MS (even if they are not drifting directly into fascism) have drunk from the neoliberal/libertarian cool aid.
Example, Germany has a special law to allow universities to keep academics on non-permanent employment contracts, which normally would be strictly verboten.
Similar in Austria.
Basically, it's challenging to argue the EU MS should attract foreign talent, when they are doing everything possible to drive their own talent away.
@grunfink@comam.es thank you for snac, I've just set up my own instance with it, and I'm loving it
there are a couple of features from GNU social that I'm missing, and that I'd like to implement, namely:
- some means to open a thread or a post from my timeline in a new browser tab, so that I can interact with it later, or keep up with a conversation without having to search for it in the timeline again. I'm thinking of turning the "date / udate" field into a link to it/them, though ATM I don't quite see what to link to. I suppose a search might work to find a single post, but there's no existing way to link to a local view of a thread AFAICT. any objections to adding these?
- it would be nice if I could like/boost/mute/etc without reloading the page, let alone be taken to the first timeline page. I'd like to be able to middle-click on these buttons so that they'd take action on another tab, and I could keep on scrolling on the current tab without waiting for

I'd like to be able to middle-click on these buttons so that they'd take action on another tab, and I could keep on scrolling on the current tab without waiting for it to reload, or bringing new posts, or getting back to the initial timeline page, even if we currently try to get back to the same spot
- indeed, it would be desirable IMHO for these actions to not always take you back to the admin and timeline page, but rather to the same page you're on, so that, if you're e.g. interacting with a bookmark or a search result or any other way to show a post or a thread, you remain on that page
- I liked the way notifications are marked as seen, and I'd love something like that for the timeline as well. I'm thinking I'd enjoy a view that showed me not the latest posts in the timeline, but the oldest posts more recent than the latest one marked as seen, with a button/link to mark those as seen and show another such page. then I could catch up roughly in order, rather than in reverse order. (this reminds me that diaspora had a nice feature of generating timestamp-based "earlier posts" links, so that there wouldn't be repeats as I paged over posts while new posts came in.
are any of these features something that you definitely wouldn't want to integrate into snac? or does any of these need further details for you to tell?
I noticed two (hopefully minor) errors in the patches I sent earlier:
- I failed to untabify a couple of added lines in the second patch
- I failed to add the "contributed by" note to RELEASE_NOTES.md in the third patch
if you'd like me to send fixed versions thereof, whether over these minor issues or other ones, just let me know.
I'm open to discussing the design and details of any of them. the third is more of a working prototype than a proper implementation: the packing of so much functionality in a single function is probably unwise, maintenance-wise, but that was what worked, so that's what I shared to get a concrete depiction of the feature across, to get the conversation about it started. I hope the feature makes sense to you.
another nit: I found that the placement of the link to the message in the date is less than ideal. it might be better to place it next to the interaction buttons, where one would look for them after reading the whole message. I find myself occasionally having to page back up to get back to it, which I find less than idea

there's something exciting about using snac to share patches for snac, but I don't suppose it's the most convenient way to share them. if you'd rather get them by other means, I'll probably be happy to oblige; I'm probably going to set up a (plain) anon git server soon (I just haven't got 'round to doing so yet), and I could post only pull requests (in the original sense) here, pointing at branches to pull from in the git server

(Which really pains me. I had hoped/dreamed about there maybe being another "Theorizing the Web" in NY at some point in the future. I miss that conference so much, nowhere else have I gotten that much of an intellectual boost in 2 or 3 days. Ever. )
from some contemplation, we're pretty sure the sense in which the costs of remote are too high is that sponsors are less interested in it because it's not such effective advertising
we'd love to be wrong. it wouldn't change anything but we'd be happier
we say "difficult" call, but what we really mean is that as a trans person, it's blatantly risking our life to even attempt to cross the border at this point, nobody is in a position to say from day to day what might happen
Irgendwie werden wir bei uns an der #OVGU mit unserer Nextcloud nicht so glücklich.
Seit etwa 10 Tagen hat sich die Vorgehensweise bei der Linkfreigabe etwas verändert. Dort gibt es jetzt ein vorselektiertes Häkchen "Ablauf des Links aktivieren", das man vor der Erstellung der Freigabe abwählen kann.
Problem: Egal was man dort anklickt, der erstellte Link läuft trotzdem in zwei Wochen ab, was natürlich super verwirrend ist.
"Alright, places ladies, places. Annemarie, Suzanne, you two are in the first number. Suzanne, how about you try not to fall on your face this time? Lorraine, go see Todd in makeup, you look like a clown. And Nancy, for chrissakes, put on some underwear."
Uiuiui. Ich schau ja sonst nicht auf Zahlen und mag das Fediverse dafür, dass hier Zahlen nicht zelebriert werden. Aber jetzt habt ihr mich schwach gemacht: Noch 10 bis zur 5.000.
Mir werden 4933 Follower angezeigt. Entweder ist die Zahl bei mir nicht aktuell, oder du wurdest für den unverfrorenen Hinweis auf den Meilenstein direkt abgestraft. So wie ich die Kultur hier bisher kennengelernt habe, fürchte ich fast Letzteres. 🫣
It’s rather bizarre. Social engineering 3.0: just waltz into government offices and act like you’re in control. The way they take over systems is really a cyberattack in broad daylight. Literally. Openly gaining access to sensitive information that they have no business with. They should be arrested and locked up!
@ArtHarg It looks bad, right? One possibility is a military intervention. Seems almost unthinkable, as the US military has been faithfully serving civilian rule like forever; but Trump has already undermined this taboo by using the military for police tasks. It may happen when soldiers are ordered to fire on protesters. Their oath is to the Constitution, not to any person or regime.
@ArtHarg @martinvermeer that moment – when he orders them to fire on protesters – is absolutely coming , and I have to say I can’t predict what’s gonna happen
I remember the things I believed at that age - I was still a Libertarian because its internal logic made a lot of sense to me and I hadn't had enough life experience yet to recognize that its core assumptions are a complete crock.
This is not good - they'll be the kind of clever that hasn't yet learnt to consider the human dimension to what they do, nor understand why it matters.
@StryderNotavi It's almost funny. He's a lot older, so his 'spending the rest of his life in prison' will be much shorter than theirs. If they get that far, of course - more likely they'll be fired fairly soon. Are they on H1B visas?
@Tim_Eagon My first thought was from an #infosec standpoint was “I wonder how much their data is selling for this second.” Cause they have just put targets on themselves that will never go away. They’ve made powerful enemies, and are possibly an open tap to America’s most secure data platform. They’ve just made targets of their families, their girlfriends, and anyone else that can be used to extricate data from them. This is why we have a security protocol and clearance process.
This is so utterly insane I can’t believe I’m seeing it happen.
literally NOTHING could be worse than the FESTERING INFECTION that is the existing federal workforce. fuck them all and fuck anyone who cries crocodile tears for these FUCKING LEECHES.
Whatever they're doing, I give it a 95% chance that it's sloppy amateur shit. These young guys were almost certainly picked for their loyalty and not their competency. Classic fascism.
Engineers or fanatics? It sounds to me like an iconoclasm, where people who understand nothing go and smash things with little heed or understanding of the consequences because they have a sacred mission/end to guide them.
@Old_IT_geek This is the part I've been waiting for. They're going to get to the IRS, see the mainframes, perhaps remember the outage on Tax Day 2018 due to a bug in the storage array firmware that the subcontractor forgot to apply, and they're going to jump to the conclusion that they can just migrate everything to AWS in a week.
Then they're going to discover that the IRS's millions of lines of mainframe code are IBM mainframe assembly language and not even as portable as COBOL.
Yeah, very good point – they are totally unprepared, technically, for the vicissitudes of these legacy systems
But I’m not sure they actually want to do any of this work correctly, carefully, and without destroying massive amounts of recordkeeping inside the IRS
For them, I suspect, changing things in a way that absolutely wrecks the IRS’s ability to collect would be a feature, not a bug

„Rechts abbiegen verboten“: 160.000 Menschen protestieren bei „#Brandmauer“-Demo in Berlin gegen #CDU-Kurs
Scharfe Kritik und beißender Spott: Zehntausende zogen am Sonntag wegen des Asylkurses vor die CDU-Bundeszentrale. Michel #Friedman nannte die #AfD eine „Partei des Hasses“.

Auch wenn ich an ihrer praktischen Umsetzung durchgängig vieles zu kritisieren hatte, würde ich diese unsere Demokratie im Grundsatz schon gerne behalten.
Und ich hatte auch früher schon vieles von der Union gedacht, aber nicht, daß sie dafür eine sehr akute Bedrohung darstellt.
