Przemilczane Ludobójstwo i Kobalt - benefit na Kongijczyków

ADA Puławska, piątek, 12 czerwca 19:00 CEST

CAN (Congo Accountability Network) jest inicjatywą, która ma za zadanie promować wiedzę na temat sytuacji, jaka ma miejsce w Demokratycznej Republice Konga.

W DRK od lat trwa kryzys humanitarny, który jest następstwem obcych wpływów, w tym globalnych koncernów technologicznych czerpiących zyski z eksploatacji największych na świecie złóż kobaltu.

Podczas spotkania przedstawione zostaną podstawowe informacje na temat DRK, wyświetlony zostanie krótki film, "Crisis in the Congo: Uncovering the Truth", a na koniec będzie można się rozluźnić, tańcząc do elektronicznych rytmów dwóch DJek, Adobo oraz Maqui.

W trakcie wydarzenia będzie można wrzucić do puszki (bądź przesłać blikiem) pieniądze, które wesprą organizację pomocową Team Congo.

The former #CEO of #Microsoft once described #Linux as a #cancer that was ruining Microsoft's #business. In the end, it's the other way around. Microsoft is the cancer that is infecting Linux and commercializing it without respecting the #philosophy of #free #software.

Microsoft's #Azure #cloud runs on Linux #servers. Microsoft generates the majority of its #revenue through cloud #services. In other words, it makes use of free software—specifically, from the open-source community project—without contributing to or supporting it in a meaningful way. On the contrary, Microsoft has been fighting the spread of Linux on the #desktop with #Windows from the very beginning. However, the company has learned how to profitably market free software. Unfortunately, this is a sign that die-hard capitalists are incapable of learning. Their greed for profit blinds them to the common good. Since Windows now accounts for only about 5% of Microsoft’s business model, it is used solely to keep customers within the Microsoft ecosystem and sell them cloud services. Meanwhile, Windows 11 is getting worse and worse, partly due to the use of AI.

The only company worse than that is #Nvidia, which also uses Linux but nevertheless actively prevents the development of decent open-source drivers for Nvidia #hardware. So while the #company understands the benefits of Linux, it still actively resists contributing to this #collaborative #project.

Capitalism in its final stages—and, unfortunately, one of the reasons why humanity is heading so rapidly toward the #collapse of #civilization.
