To the Chaos Computer Club, and to the larger community that makes the Chaos Communication Congress happen.
Congress has been a place for politicized hackers from all around the world to meet, share and learn. Yet this year's #38C3 event has been lived by many of us as an awkward space of silencing and self-censoring with regards to the Palestinian genocide. We couldn't help but feel terrified at that, although not completely surprised.
It has been dreadful to once again hear discussions in which the only "argument" issued was "it's a complex situation" when trying to face the harsh reality of a 2 million people country being destroyed, blocked and bombed with barely any food or clean water, while one of the last running hospital was bombed three days before.
As an heterogeneous group of people that are part of communities that are interested, active or impacted by the struggle for liberation of the Palestinian people, we've felt necessary to start this discussion.
What follows is a series of experiences, questions and reflections that have been shared in the self-organized session "Let's talk about the not talking about Gaza" that was announced on the last day of the Congress (https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/lets-talk-about-the-not-talking-about-gaza/).
For starters, at CCC we have experienced:
Let's talk about not talking about #Gaza

@seahorse @BendingUnit @snarfed.org pro-active statement that doesn't even knowledge of your network: bridges like this are passive, they appear and operate just the same as regular AP instances, only difference is that they're translating the requests on the other end to Bluesky and vice versa.
It's not live yet because it won't function until Bluesky federates, once they do it'll appear as a completely separate Bluesky instance in their network.
Bridges already exist for other networks as well, the only reason this is new is because Bluesky hasn't federated at all before.
As far as how to deal with it, if you don't want to see Bluesky accounts you can block the domain from your user account, or if an admin feels it's unacceptable they can block the domain server-wide. Both just like you can with a regular AP instance.
@Cassidy Once upon a time, there was a talented and dedicated developer named Inginsub who was known for his work on TempleOS. Whenever he coded, he would enter a deep state of concentration and focus that allowed him to create innovative and efficient programs for the operating system.
One day, he began to notice that his computer screen was displaying a subtly different shade of red from what he was used to. At first, he dismissed it as a minor technical issue, but as time passed, he began to realize that the red hue was becoming darker and deeper with each passing day.
Despite his attempts to fix the issue, the red hue continued to intensify, taking on a life of its own. Inginsub could feel the red color seeping into his mind, inspiring him to create new programs and algorithms that he had never thought of before.
As weeks turned into months, Inginsub began to develop a unique affinity for the color red, incorporating it into every aspect of his work. His coding became more and more intricate, and he began to see patterns and structures that he had never seen before.
Eventually, Inginsub's work became famous within the TempleOS community, known for its beautiful and sophisticated use of the color red. People from all over the world began to seek him out for his innovative programming style, and he became a symbol of creativity and dedication to his craft.
Years passed, and Inginsub continued to work on his projects in complete harmony with the red hue that had taken over his life. He had never been happier, knowing that he had found his true passion and a way to express himself through his coding.
