“I know there are people who want to help them fight, people who want to do a bit more than the humanitarian aid,” Borozna said. “If you want to address the root cause of this human suffering, you’ve got to defeat the Russian invasion. Aerorozvidka makes a huge difference and they need our support.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/28/the-drone-operators-who-halte…

Any Left-Wing antisemites on this list?
by professor rat 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

They should be easy to spot by their use of " Rightwing " as an insult. While anarchism doesn't do antisemitism - since some obscure 19th century scribblings by our founders - each and every Marxist Leftist has to follow their masters voice. Karl Marx, Capital, Volume One, Part II: The Transformation of Money and Capital CHAPTER FOUR: THE GENERAL FORMULA FOR CAPITAL: "The capitalist knows that all commodities, however scurvy they may look, or however badly they may smell, are in faith and in truth money, inwardly circumcised Jews . . ."

somebody drafted their intro to transformers at https://xamat.medium.com/transformers-models-an-introduction-and-catalogue-… marked spam cause it seems it would make sense to type it over onto the list, so I might learn some of it, and maybe review its currentness and transparency a little.

On the antisemitism of Proudhon and Bakunin
by professor rat 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Btw. Antisemitism we may tersely define as hating Jews more than necessary Three quick points 1) We are anarchists - not ' Proudhonists' or " Bakuninists " 2) There is a qualitative and quantitative difference between the hateful antisemitism of the 19th century and post Holocaust antisemitism, and . . . 3) Only the most foolish and batshit-crazy enemies of anarchism raise these sort of objections to anarchism.

Peronism considered harmful
by professor rat 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

In the early 1970s, left-wing Peronism rejected liberal democracy and political pluralism as the mask of bourgeois domination. The anti-communist right-wing Peronism also rejected it in the name of corporatism, claiming to return to a “Christian and humanist, popular, national socialism”. Peronism - Wikipedia

[spam][crazy][random] Rotary Encoder: Slightly More Productive Goal
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

As I try to move from goals that are intentionally pointless to those that have some utility, I now want to resume my project of providing a way to build a free high quality servo. Servos are motors that can go to a specific orientation and optionally measure their orientation and/or applied force. Where I'm at, is I want to make a script that generates a printout to make a rotary encoder. Servos usually use potentiometers, which are inaccurate. Rotary encoders can be more precise. Unfortunately, I've misplaced or lost my existing work. But the subgoal is quite simple: A script that generates a wheel of color according to a provided radial function. I think if the darkness of the bands on the wheels increases linearly as a function of angle, the encoder could be calibrated to measure possibly-arbitrary precision via a photocell facing the rotary encoder. The script should be generalisable to various encoding norms. You can read more about optical rotary encoders at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder#Ways_of_encoding_shaft_position .
