Born following the unholy union of a duck and a cardboard box, Roberto von Archimboldi entered the world as a broken, diseased disaster. He has been searching for joy ever since.

Last Notes npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Someone will know... every now and then I chant 'Il-lay-gal, Il-lay-gal, all my friends are Il-lay-gal'. My friend asked me where it is from. The answer, I think, is song made by people on the move in Greece or the Balkans in 2015 as part of the long summer of migration. It is a rather cheesy song, but now I want to find it and play it for my friend. Does anyone know its title or the artist npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi I have this strong sense that most people in this country, the UK, do not, like me, feel thoroughly removed from power. I also feel that my sense of how power functions in this country is correct. I want to know if my first feeling is shared. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…ft84 there are a lot of games. These all sound very good npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…ft84 something in the middle I think. They all like to win, but that does cause squabbles npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6s65 It is also, and perhaps you make this point, deeply hypocritical. You don't get much more mediaeval than a pogrom npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6s65 while I accept that the attack in Golders Green was antisemitic, I think that we need to be careful about seeing any attack on Jews as Jews as antisemitism. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6aac although also, you're telling me that actual velociraptors were turkey sized and had display feathers? Amazing npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6aac right? It has to be worth the risk that Sam Neill has chosen that day to make his visit npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Would you go to Jurassic park? You can have a discount code. It is probably a bit pricey at full whack. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…u8uk thank you and seeing as I arguably met the rule, I sent you £5 npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi I propose a new mastodon rule: if you make a post about AI, you have to give at least £5 to someone in Gaza npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi This morning I am worrying about @nprofile…wxs3 being under bombardment in Gaza and a friend who was forced to report to the Home Office but who has not re-emerged. I am worried that he has been taken into detention. Meanwhile the sunny Saturday goes on around me whilst I ignore a friend in Niger who needs money that I don't have. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…xjwa @nprofile…6ywt you make programming sound thrillingly risky npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6ywt @nprofile…xjwa but why is that? I fear that if I have to ask it is because my understanding is so minimal. I never got beyond 10 PRINT "Hello World"; 20 GOTO 10 npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…xjwa does that mean that it is just a matter of style as much as anything and different people finding different things intuitive or infuriating? npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Why are there so many different programming languages? Don't they all do the same thing in the end? npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…pnsp 'ants a bit annoying'. This is heresy. We might need to block the whole freeradical server if they let this post stay up npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…pnsp it is a niche fedi response, but one I heartily endorse. I fear the wider 'verse may take issue that the lawn is not a wild flower meadow and haven for bees, but that should not stop you npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi عيد مبارك Happy Eid npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi I keep thinking about voting. More accurately I keep thinking about throwing your lot behind mainstream political parties. I make the clarification because your vote is statistically meaningless. Nothing much follows from that about whether you should go to the polling station. It does, however, show that the debate around voting is really about whether we should be supporting mainstream political parties. What we are really doing is arguing about whether we should join a movement to support the election of some party or other. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…n90j thank you. Why does it copy the key to the keyring and not just save it SDTOUT? That was what my dad achieved looking at the printout from his terminal npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Can anyone explain to me why these commands result in adding the signal repository to your sources.list and adds their signing key to your keyring. When I tried to help my father do it, he only managed the former. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…x9tq my own view is that the destruction of industry means that Labour has lost its base, the organised, industrial working class. Austerity means that the Tories have lost theirs, the university educated, home owning management class. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 happy birthday to Omar npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 if God provides me with money to buy fish, I'll cook beans and give the cash to you npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 I was going to try the liver one tonight. Fish here is very expensive and a bit out of my budget npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 no apologies are necessary. I cannot write anything without typos and other errors. It is the joy of the internet npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 why do you call it chicken grilled fish? npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 @nprofile…fcw6 I'm glad that my words were not wildly off beam. It is important that we try to see each other. Things will only improve when we start from there. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 has a new recipe blog: npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…46jr it is obviously very broadly drawn. Perhaps so as to be abstract. I do think that it captures something important npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Here is my UK election hot take: npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 @nprofile…s4ce @nprofile…w2qd I have a friend in another part of Palestine with a cat called Simsim npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 coffee (+/- Fairouz) in the morning is not too much to ask of this world. I am sorry my friend npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…wxs3 I hope that the coffee days return npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi It has only just occurred to me that Europe, including the UK, was absolutely devastated by World War II, recovered remarkably fast. That includes Germany which lost. This is because of white solidarity and the legacy of empire. I can't believe I have never noticed that before npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Just as a follow up there are two possible responses: npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Today seems a good day to remind people that conspiracy theories seem to provide psychological cover for the dissonance that comes with someone actually attempting the transgressive thing that you wished for but weren't brave enough to undertake yourself. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi I had a victory today. It made me very happy and it kept somebody housed npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6s65 I probably read it too quickly. It also seemed to be saying, get involved in the Labour party but get Long-Bailey elected and get involved in the Green party. That seems wrong for the reasons articulated. These parties are bourgeois parties. I'm happy with the idea that we use our limited power to win concessions by backing Corbyn or Polanski, but that has to be from outside of the party. We have to articulate our rejection of their world even as we support taxing wealth npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6s65 I think that this is not quite right. You are right that voting 'left' will inevitably lead to disappointment and disillusionment. The reason given is correct. These parties are not revolutionary. They are committed to the status quo. That is to say, they are bourgeois political parties. It also seems right that revolutionary politics is built through long term political engagement. It then seems that conclusion has to be that the struggle has to be outside of the mainstream, parliamentary parties. Sure, vote Green if you want, but the working class must build its own political organisations that articulate its own interest and perspective. That must be the long-term project, not struggling to get a reformist elected who will inevitably sell us out and return the ground to the worst aspects of the bourgeoisie npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…nwgd @nprofile…pfuj This has to be right. A friend of mine pointed out to me that banning trans women from elite sport is to impose an upper limit on what it is to be woman. The corollary of that is you make men's sport the open section and the women's game the consolation prize. This can't be a feminist approach npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…pt63 I'm sorry to hear that. Do look after look yourself npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…pt63 you alright or just busy? Normally you greet the world earlier. Have a lovely Friday npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…99nc you have become a romantic. This is gorgeous. I love the way the window does not divide the scene evenly in two. It gives it the sense of a fleeting glance at, as you say, the eternal npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…hhlq @nprofile…x9tq that is very true. What it actually means is that you are not sufficiently imperialist and for the big owners of capital. I think that in the end the reasons these attacks work is that many small owners of capital, which are those who vote, are scared to gamble. The system sort of works for them. Radical change could well go wrong. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…x9tq If I was the Green party, when Labour try to scare people by claiming that they are not serious on defense, I would be trumpeting loudly my unique commitment to energy security. That takes the form of renewables and not backing wars in the gulf. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…2u5j an argument which would only work if there was visa free travel npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6aac we should make this happen, 'Google, free as in free base' npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6aac is that 'free' as in 'freedom'? npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…0hnf It definitely looked like a good glaze npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…0hnf that cake looks amazing npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…h0rd I mostly know him because of his work on truth. He was clearly a wonderful thinker npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…6p8t that made me chuckle npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…02rf it used to work for me, but it broke. I think that I broke it npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi So there are many terrible things about Sir Keir Starmer. His complete disregard for the meaning of what he says is one. Here is a snippet from his forward to 'Restoring Control' the immigration white paper: npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…h0rd as a counterpoint, here is Frank Ramsey: npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi Windows 11 is so full of bugs. I know that I am preaching to the converted, but at least when my Mint installation starts doing funny things, someone can teach me how to fix it. (Still trying to get my Bluetooth working again and my ersatz clicklock.

Of course collectively it isn't. But that means you need to be taking collective action. The very low level, low effort collective action is saying, 'vote x' or putting up a poster or defending a party's programme online or things of that ilk. Whether you actually go down to the polling station is irrelevant. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…cmq0 for me the problem is that your vote is so statistically meaningless as to be pointless. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…sray well yes, there is that.

Asylum should not be a cellar to hide in. It is a way of rebuilding your life in exile. This new 20 year route to settlement, 30 month grants of leave with constant rechecking of your need for asylum is going to be hellish. It is against the spirit ( and arguably the letter) of the refugee convention. Article 34 of that convention reads: npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…la7y these are not the conditions to be granted asylum. That remains a well founded fear of persecution because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a social group. These are the conditions to be granted indefinite leave to remain following a positive asylum decision. npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…zvpa it is the use of Snoop Dogg that does it for me npub1mggz9purlf3lzvcynfke9ktrhqeexztx7v2hfc3xrreuymnkv09q7mj7ru Roberto von Archimboldi @nprofile…vxqu @nprofile…ks48 all the home office are refusing Afghan asylum claims, even from Afghan women, the tribunal are not upholding these terrible decisions.
