While the world is talking about the joker act of the convicted criminal ruling the White House, I want to bring to your attention the words of a political giant, a real leader and statesman: Ignacio Lula da Silva

  • This should be a time to celebrate the United Nations.
    Created at the end of the War, the UN symbolizes the highest expression of the aspiration for peace and prosperity.
    Today, however, the ideals that inspired its founders in San Francisco are under threat, as never before in the their history .
    Multilateralism is at a new crossroads.
    This Organization's authority is in check.
    We are witnessing the consolidation of an international order marked by repeated concessions to power politics.

    Throughout the world, anti-democratic forces are trying to subjugate institutions and stifle freedoms.
    They worship violence, praise ignorance, act as physical and digital militias, and restrict the press, .
    Even under an unprecedented attack, Brazil chose to resist and defend its democracy, regained forty years ago by its people, after two decades of dictatorial governments.

    Democracy fails when women earn less than men or die at the hands of partners and family members.
    It loses when it closes its doors and blames migrants for the world's ills.
    Poverty is as much an enemy of democracy as extremism.
    Therefore, we were proud to receive confirmation from FAO that Brazil has once again left the Hunger Map in 2025. 
    But in the world, there are still 670 million hungry people . About 2.3 billion face food insecurity.

    The only war of which everyone can emerge victorious is the one we wage against hunger and poverty. This is the goal of the Global Alliance we launched at the G20, and which has the support of 103 countries. The international community needs to revise its priorities:  Reduce arms spending and increase development aid; Relieve the service of the foreign debt of the poorest countries, above all, African nations; Set minimum global tax standards so that the super-rich pay more taxes than workers.

    Other parts of the planet have already witnessed interventions that caused greater damage than intended, with serious humanitarian consequences. 
    The path to dialogue must not be closed in Venezuela.
    Haiti has the right to a violence free future.
    And it is unacceptable that Cuba be listed as a country that sponsors terrorism.
    In the conflict in Ukraine, we all already know that there will be no military solution.

    No situation is more emblematic of the disproportionate and illegal use of force than the one occurring in Palestine.
    The terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas are indefensible from any angle.
    But nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
    There, under tons of rubble, are buried tens of thousands of innocent women and children.
    International Humanitarian Law and the myth of the ethical exceptionalism of the West are also buried there.

    This massacre would not have happened without the complicity of those who could have prevented it.
    In Gaza, hunger is used as a weapon of war and the forced displacement of populations goes on unpunished.
    I express my admiration to the Jews who, inside and outside Israel, oppose this collective punishment.
    The Palestinian people are at risk of disappearing.
    They will only survive with an independent State, integrated to the international community.

    Bombs and nuclear weapons will not protect us from of the climate crisis.
    The year of 2024 was the warmest already registered.
    COP30, in Belém, will be the COP of truth.
    It will be the time for world leaders to prove the seriousness of their commitment to the planet.
    Without a complete picture of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), we are walking blindfolded towards the abyss.
    Brazil has committed to reducing its emissions by between 59 and 67%.

    The world owes a lot to the regime created by the Climate Convention.
    Climate change needs to be brought to the heart of the UN so that it gets the attention it deserves.
    A Council linked to the General Assembly with the power and legitimacy to monitor commitments and provide coherence to climate action.
    This is a fundamental step towards a broader reform of the Organization, which would also include an expanded Security Council in the two member categories.

    This year, the world lost two exceptional public figures: former Uruguayan President Pepe Mujica and Pope Francis.
    Both embodied the best humanist values like no other.
    Their lives were intertwined with the eight decades of the UN's existence.
    If they were still among us, they would use this platform to remember:
    - That authoritarianism, environmental degradation and inequality are not relentless.

    - That the only ones defeated are those who stand idly by, resigned;
    - That we can defeat the false prophets and oligarchs who exploit fear and monetize hate; and
    - That tomorrow is made of daily choices and it takes courage to act to transform it.
    In the future that Brazil envisions, there is no room for the re-enactment of ideological rivalries or spheres of influence.
    Confrontation is not inevitable.

    We need leaders with clear visions, who understand that the international order is not a “zero-sum game”.
    The 21st century will be increasingly multipolar . For it to remain peaceful, it cannot fail to be multilateral.
    The voice of the Global South must be heard.
    The UN has today almost four times more members than the 51 who were at its foundation.
    Our historic mission is to make it once again a bearer of hope and a promoter of equality, peace, sustainable development, diversity and tolerance.

    I got my hands on a (apparently bricked) uugear Vivid Unit board today. Rockchip RK3399 5 inch touchscreen. Have now managed to get the bare OS working again, except it's Debian Bullseye and there's no straightfoward upgrade path. Could be a nice #homeassistant control panel, but would be great to be able to update it. Board is a strange mix of Android and Linux stuff though.

    Hi, new followers! Seems like a good time for a re-introduction. I'm Hong Minhee (洪 民憙), a software engineer based in Seoul. My pronouns are they/them. I build tools for the fediverse. Fedify is an ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript, Hollo is a single-user microblogging server (what you're reading this on), and BotKit is a framework for making ActivityPub bots. I care a lot about making federation more accessible to developers, which, as my recent JSON-LD rant probably made clear, sometimes means wrestling with parts of the spec I have complicated feelings about. I'm a free/open source software person through and through, and a socialist, which informs how I think about tech. Lately I've been thinking a lot about LLMs. My position is probably not what you'd expect from either camp: I think the problem isn't the technology itself but the enclosure of the commons. I wrote about this at length here if you're curious: Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them. Outside of software, I have a long-running interest in CJK languages and writing systems. I'm always happy to talk about Chinese characters, Korean orthography, or the weird corners of Unicode where these things intersect. Nice to meet you all, and thanks for following.

    @jez There are ways to deal with that.
