I know you’re too tired, and maybe too scared for a revolution – after all, the prevalent system is designed for having us believe we are helplessly unable to change it. Let us be honest: a revolution is on the horizon, and a revolution is needed. You know it, I know it. Without one, this form of greed inspired capitalism will not only remain, but grow a tiny bit more monstrous, ever so slightly more inhumane every day. We cannot allow for a system to dominate our lives, which rewards the worst instincts in us, and promotes the most unscrupulous of us to the top. This way, things will never get better – instead, they will become worse. If we do not overcome our (perceived) helplessness and tire, if we do not find the courage and strength to intervene, if we to do not do something – we will remain in the stranglehold of an asymmetrical financial system, and under the spell of a tiny fraction of extremely rich, powerful and influential people. There are alternatives – never believe anyone claiming there is none. The ideas are out there – they are right here, on this very site. I invite you to help yourself, and all those dear to you – and in the end, even the whole of humanity. For example, by spending five minutes with the intro article of this site you can see below. What could be more important, than take on the fight for a better tomorrow – for ourselves, our loved ones, our children? I'd like to ask you to move forward,, to join, I ask you to participate, and not remain dormant. Not remain helpless. Not remain uninformed and hence impotent. Simply by reading a few articles on this site, you may discover what is absolutely possible for a better future.

Filmempfehlungen April/Mai 2014

Posted on April 3, 2014May 2, 2024 by amalius

Nicht (nur) wegen aktuell mangelnd gutem Material aus der cineastischen Unterhaltungssparte wollte ich kurz auf zwei Dokumentationen eingehen die es in sich haben: Inequality for all (2013): der in den USA bekannte und beliebte Wirtschaftsprofessor Robert Reich fasst in zwei Stunden all daszusammen, was er seit Jahrzehnten als das Hauptproblem der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung erkannt hat:…

Filmempfehlungen Januar 2014

Posted on January 3, 2014May 2, 2024 by amalius

Gerade geht Sherlock in die dritte Staffel – eine moderne Interpretation von – naja, Sherlock Holmes. Die BBC scheint hier das was sie bisher in Dokumentationen und Reportagen gut konnte nun auch ins ganzstündigen Fernsehformat transportiert zu bekommen. Die Episoden sind hier in Handlung, Aufwand und Atmosphäre näher an Kinofilmen dran als an den Kurzzeit-Schnipseln…

Filmempfehlungen Dezember 2013 / Januar 2014

Posted on December 3, 2013May 2, 2024 by amalius

Her, bei uns noch nicht im Kino, aber übers Internet bereits verfügbar, ist vielleicht der Film mit dem meisten Herz, den ich je gesehen habe … was anhand des zentralen Handlungsstrangs völlig absurd erscheint: eine Liebesgeschichte zwischen einer realen Person und einem Computer in einer nahen Zukunft? Wie kann das nicht im Kitsch enden? Nun…

Amerika, Deutschland und die NSA – Staatentypologien in einer Debatte

Posted on September 18, 2013May 2, 2024 by amalius

In Europa, und Deutschland im Speziellen kann die Aufregung noch so groß sein über die Überwachungsallmacht der NSA – Amerika kümmert dies wenig. Wohlgemerkt ist auch in Amerika eine deftige Debatte entbrannt nach den Enthüllungen der letzten Monate. Aber dabei echauffiert sich Amerika nicht über das grenzenlose Datensammeln und das unwohle Gefühl, ständig überwacht zu…

Control the fan speed on a linux notebook (like my Asus UX31A).

Posted on May 28, 2013May 2, 2024 by amalius

There doesn’t seem to be a viable standard solution for the problem of controlling the fans’ speeds on most linux notebooks, including the version I have, the ASUS ux31a. After some digging and hacking I came up with a “solution”. It’s not ideal and it might be dangerous when implemented incorrectly, but hey, it works….

Coming back after a year of not using the internet

Posted on May 5, 2013May 2, 2024 by amalius

The following is written in response to an article out of The Verge – where one of the journalists employed there took a one-year absence from being connected to the internet – a rigorous absence, absconding from any digital connection to the outside world, after being “burnt out”, feeling overwhelmed by the constant pings of…
