I'm making a film in the #solarpunk genre, live action (rather than animation) set in the near future for I want to imagine practical alternatives to capitalism. Given recent events in #us and other places battling fascism, I envision a world where direct democracy is possible, so no central governments, politicians, or police/military. Help me make it!

On embracing solarpunk in my stories
I discuss the various genres that I work in, including Africanfuturism, afrofuturism, and solarpunk, and why I'm embracing the later as my preferred genre.Dilman Dila

Wind: A Solarpunk Short Film
I'm making a new short film, which I'll release on my PeerTube channel. It is a final target practice for a feature film (titled Big Tree) that I intend to shoot next year, themed on direct democracy in a near-future solarpunk world.Dilman Dila
#SpoilerAlert: No, they can't!
#CloudAct is very clear that any businesses owned, operated by, controlled or run by an entity from the #USA or has any business activities in the #US falls fully under it.
- It's so evident that a representative of #OVH certified under oath that they are subject to it because they have #servers in the USA!
Even if Microsoft were to split up their own subsidiary for the #EU they could not escape that.
- And the #Microsoft365 Hosting at #DeutscheTelekom (which also falls under #CLOUD Act due to their subsidiary #Tmobile USA & business activity in the USA (i.e. #Peering & #Transit within the US) couldn't escape that either!
Analysis: “A New Line Crossed”: The U.S. Provokes Iran
"It's not clear if Trump himself understands this, but everyone around him knows they did not verifiably destroy the nuclear program last night."
Re "actually impacting Iran’s capabilities, the strike was largely symbolic."
But "it's the first time we're bombing a state [with] the capacity to inflict serious harm on Americans in the region.”

It is now illegal to transmit personal information of EU citizens to cloud infrastructure in the #US as they won't be protected by the #GDPR.
Many European service providers will have to move quickly to avoid fines, but eventually #EU data will be held in the EU, benefiting companies in Europe, and supporting #DigitalSovereignty.
That means AWS, Azure, Google and iCloud can lose a sizeable chunk of their customer base if no moves are made. I am all for it.

#USAFacts has a Sankey diagram that shows the money that came in during 2024 and how the revenue was distributed.
According to data from U.S. Treasury Department, $4.9 trillion came in mostly through taxes and $6.8 trillion went out. The difference, $1.8 trillion, contributes to the deficit. It will be interesting to see what this diagram looks like after this year is done (if the data exists).

#NASA Administrator Bill #Nelson on Friday called for an investigation into a Wall Street Journal report that #SpaceX founder and Donald #Trump ally Elon #Musk and Russian President Vladimir #Putin have been in “regular contact” since late 2022.
The report raises national security concerns as SpaceX’s relationships with NASA and the #US military may have granted Musk access to sensitive government information and US intelligence.

Yes, the #US wastes a lot of $$$ when it comes to #HealthSpending. #DrugPrices and very unequal distribution of the benefits are likely culprits.
However, #LifeExpectancy also heavily depends on your eating habits (and others).
The #MediterraneanDiet seems much more effective than assumed:
we all remember the pictures from #Bergamo in the #Pandemic of 2020. #Italy's healthcare is not great, nor is #Greece's, or the ones in the #LatinAmerica.
