  • This is the first time maybe in my lifetime that I’ve seen a real W for organized labor in Italy, I have to admit I had basically lost any hope. Italy used to have one of the most radical labor movements in Europe (we used to disappear industrialists ffs), but by the time I was born our unions had become neutered, bureaucratic and corrupt entities whose whose main output was bootstrapping the career of useless centrist politicians.

    I am still almost in disbelief of how effective the Genoa dockworkers union was. They made an open threat: “if anything happens to a single boat in our flotilla we shut down Europe”, as soon as the first strikes on the flotilla happened in Tunis they called in a National strike, and they fucking pulled it off. Half the country’s services were shut down on Monday. Almost a million people were in the streets. If our very zionist government went so far as to send a warship to escort the flotilla it means the fuckers were actually rattled. They wouldn’t do this unless they seriously thought things could escalate in the country.

    Labor organizing scares fascists, folks…

    Shout out to the workers of Collettivo Autonomo Lavoratori Portuali (CALP) of Genoa for reigniting a tiny spark of hope in this godforsaken country. Solidarity forever. I’m trying to see if they have a strike fund that people can contribute to but I can’t find one, they are “calp_genova” on Insta and “CALPinfo” on Telegram.
















  • Genuinely thank you for the feedback! My first thoughts:

    • Two columns wouldn’t work on mobile. I could serve different pages based on device but I’m lazy and that seems like a lot of work right now.
    • Numerated entries are a good idea, but the numbering would change every time I add/remove feeds if I want to stick to alphabetical ordering, which kinda defeats the purpose.
    • For last update do you mean last time the feeds were fetched or last time I modified the index page?
    • New podcast highlighting would be nice indeed, but it would probably have to be manual.

    My first general problem is that right now I’m serving a static page with a reverse proxy, so it’s difficult to implement backend logic. The second problem is that I

    • am not a frontend dev
    • am bad at frontend dev
    • hate frontend dev.

    If someone has suggestions on how I could implement stuff like this without moving to a web app with a backend I’m all ears.
