[awaywithillusions]

- my name is april im 25 and a tgirl

- im in nyc

- indigenous in an emotionally complicated "cultural genocide worked really well on my family actually" way

- im an anti-stalinist marxist coming at it from a p heterogeneous mix of influences ranging from newspaper trotskyism to operaismo to the walter benjamin fandom to whatever i want

- interests include art, "cwitical theowy", music (emo/posthxc in particular but i listen to whatever ill prolly be marinaposting in a week), film & tv, retro games, kink stuff, anime (gundam + legend of the galactic heroes especially), and just like generally a hodgepodge of late-stage terminally online pseud bullshit (but in a cool and sexy way)

- i like sayin slurs and being horny so. minors dni, generally dni if you're not down for that or anything else about my whole deal, probably not gonna tag TWs mostly but if ur that down bad for me parasocially speaking and want me to tag a thing just ask and i will Try

- im an addict veryvery recently in recovery & am anti-prohibitionist/drug liberationist/etc

- subjectively speaking if ur still using the word "problematic" in this foul and soon-to-end year of our lord 2023 i probably meet your criteria for that in some way or another

- DMs open if we're mutuals and if you're down to clown in general

“Let’s not talk about desires anymore, let’s desire: we are desiring machines, machines of war.”

After the events of March 1977, Radio Alice became the symbol of the free radios. It was emitted from Bologna, one of the strongholds of the Italian Communist Party and the explicit showcase for the Historical Compromise [alliance between Christian Democrats and Italian Communist Party (PCI)].

The Refuser Solidarity Network, which encourages Israelis to refuse the draft, is collecting letters to send to her while she is imprisoned. It's likely that this will not be her only stay.

This is called the "analog loophole" and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. They can encrypt and copy-protect all they want, but eventually the file has to be sent to a speaker and/or screen, and it has to get there in a human-readable form because that's the whole dang point

The simplest way to exploit the analog loophole is just pointing a camera at a screen or a microphone at a speaker, but direct recording is also always possible and always will be. Anything that can be displayed can be saved and displayed again

Back in the day, people also used to share software over the radio with this technology. Because computer programs and files are really just sets of binary code, and that code can be turned into audio tones.

The resulting audio file can be played over the radio (sounding a bit like the old dial up noise, as it's just two quickly oscillating notes) and recorded to a cassette tape, which you can then give to your computer to "decode" back into 0's and 1's, which gives you the program file. You can then run it as if you'd installed it from a disk.

NPR did a very cool podcast about this.
