Do commercial/industrial buildings not require power then?

You aren’t wrong, but you are assuming that the grid is required. Solar panels can be installed at the point of use, and then the grid doesn’t come into it at all.

She wasn’t charged with a terrorist offence, though. She was held because the police thought that there might be a terrorist link.

You have read the word “terrorist” and assumed that what she did falls under that definition, which was the whole idea, of course.

Alejandra petitioned to become a citizen in 2001, but was rejected because she was accused of making a false statement at the border when she sought asylum in 1998

Let’s have a trigger warning on that, please.

Cries in Brexit

Point out that other people are in charge, not him, and he will torpedo it. His ego will not tolerate people saying he’s a puppet.

I apologise for the tone of my comment - it was overly confrontational. However, I genuinely found the tone of your post condescending, so maybe others will too. Or maybe the vulnerable and lost people won’t mind being called that.

Anyway, if you do have success building the community, that will be a good thing. Good luck.

No, I don’t get what you mean! Are the people in the lib spaces not libs? Who is, then, and where do they hang out?

I don’t know if you’ll even see this, as mods removed my previous comment and you’ve probably blocked me. I guess I don’t get to be part of the community.

But you say they are coming up with excuses for her. There are no excuses provided there.

You mean like Ukrainians? When Putin just won the election?

They are going to spend those 4 years doing everything they can to fix the next election as well. Gerrymandering, voter intimidation, you name it. By all means hide in bed to get over the shock but, if you stay there, you’ll need to stay there more than 4 years.

So an EU-backed distro could be the same. Yes, they would fund maintainers, but their own maintainers, not maintainers of upstream distros.

How much of Ubuntu’s funding goes to supporting debian? I actually don’t know.

I don’t, for example, see Ubuntu listed here: https://www.debian.org/partners/

Given how much they have been projecting about vote-rigging, I would say this is very plausible.

Well, what better way to embrace FOSS than dismissing the efforts of all the existing distro maintainers? Welcome to the community, guys. Good luck building your cathedral next to the bazaar!

How about they instead work together with the distros and create a way of certifying a distro as gov-ready?

We found the solutions a long time ago - it’s just that nobody wanted to implement them.

I think it’s quite clear that we did.

Your wording seems to imply that inability to make a decision is anarchism and/or that anarchists are unable to make decisions, even though you blame the social democrats for the failure to march on Versailles sooner.

This is somewhat ironic. Obviously the anarchists could have dissuaded the National Guard from marching, but if they had the authority to prevent them, then they weren’t anarchists!

By contrast, in a setup where a decision needs to be made before people can act, then it’s very possible for a faction to prevent it. For example, they can say that key stakeholders are not present and therefore the meeting has no authority. If you’ve never witnessed this, I envy you.

Yes, if individual people have solidarity, then that is not incompatible with anarchism. In fact, that is practically the definition of it! It is important, for all of the reasons you said.

But you said “how can you have solidarity if you can’t have states or hierarchies?”. From that, I understand that you think that ‘solidarity’ can be something that is mandated by the state or hierarchy. I do not agree that that is important.
