Didier Lestrade

Fondateur d'Act Up-Paris (inspiré de celle de New-York), il relate :

on peut parler pendant une heure, mais si ça ne débouche pas sur une action, alors c'est une discussion qui a servit a rien

on considérait que les gens devaient s'accrocher. si tu ne fous rien, tu ne m'intéresses pas. Si tu ne fais pas un effort pour apprendre, pour lire ceci, pour écrire cela, pour participer t'es un poids mort. à un militant qui arrivait, on demandait "qu'est-ce que tu veux faire ? ou que sais-tu faire ?"

je leur dis aux écolos, vous êtes trop gentils, il faut arriver maintenant à une confrontation physique. Aller chez eux, terroriser leurs enfants avec des casseroles, bloquer leurs téléphones, faire réellement pression. [...] on se retrouve comme pour le sida face à des multinationales encore plus puissantes, mais on connait toujours leur point faible. Il faut tapper sur le point faible.

WHITESPACE ODDITY
  by Paul Phillips, in eternal admiration of David Bowie, RIP

[Verse 1]
Bound Ctrl to Major mode
Bound Ctrl to Major mode
Read inputrc and set extdebug on
Bound Ctrl to Major mode (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
Connecting readline, options on (Five, Four, Three)
Check the syntax, may terminfo be with you (Two, One, Exec)

[Verse 2]
This is Bound Ctrl to Major mode
You really must upgrade
both shell completion and keyboard firmware
Now it's time to leave the console if you dare
This is Major mode to Bound Ctrl
I'm starting ssh
And my echo's in a most peculiar way
And the glyphs look very different today

[Chorus]
For here
Am I tapping on a keyboard
Far beneath the world
Now my screen is blue
And there's nothing I can do

[Verse 3]
Though I'm past one hundred thousand lines
my scrollbar's very still
And I think the shell must know where core dumps go
Tell Fallout I love it very much - it knows
Bound Ctrl to Major mode
Your pipeline's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major mode?
Can you hear me, Major mode?
Can you hear me, Major mode?
Can you ?

[Chorus]
Here am I hiding in the basement
Safe in my cocoon
Now my screen is blue
And there's nothing I can do
