Human rights lawyer Steven Donziger has been released from prison into home confinement. This is a success of the people who support him but at the same time far from a glimpse of justice. The first corporate prosecution in US history is a very bad travesty of (in)justice: Steven Donziger just did his duty to defend the Ecuadorian people against Chevron´s human right crime affecting 30,000 indigenous people and campesinos. Up to now the process has rather compared to what we know from China or Russia otherwise.

xchroot v2.6 / the situation at elstel.org

It is a long way since xchroot v2.5.3. Last year I had to stop development because the secret services did not allow me to continue. I could assign a variable on one line and it did not have the assigned value on the next line - and that offline. Luckily today I did not have any problems with xchroot. However developing a̅tea remains problematic and at least partially inhibited. Far worse there is no way for me to continue the development of my DualSat SAT-solver. Publishing the normal news messages here at the rss newsletter has also become increasingly difficult. Meanwhile I need to write the vast majority of messages offline. A few have been written on paper and with paperback dictionaries only. Nonetheless it is a huge alleviation to view suggestions of translate.google.com for Spanish and Portuguese which I could mostly still do with my tablet. Short before the COP26 the Firefox, Google Chrome and Falkon browsers have been disabled on my online machine in order to threaten me. I am currently using Epiphany and Midori. I had already feared that the overwhelming majority of the web would remain unreachable for me as I initially did not know any alternative graphical browser with Javascript.

new features: escape from a chroot environment into the original root if not disabled, better desktop shortcut creation for chroot programs, many many bugfixes including mount mirroring: Since v2.5 it can automatically mount directories f.i. under /media directly into the chroot. View the first lines of the xchroot executable with less or a text editor to see the full changelog.

Article 6 Greenwashing // EU Green Deal

Although carbon offsetting could in deed help to reduce emissions on a short term with some projects, its primary purpose is undeniably greenwashing. That is why article 6 has been put into practice so hastily at the COP26. Neither are forests protected by this mechanism nor does their existence save any GHGs (greenhouse gases) that would not be saved any way while emissions are allowed to continue. JPMorgan and UBS, both members of the Global Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) are some of the worst financiers of oil and gas in the Amazon rainforest. Amazon crude is causing wreaking oil spills, poisoning water and additionally putting the survival of Amazonian tribes at risk by invaders and new streets which encourage further deforestation.

Concerning the new CAP it is disappointing that EU institutions do not enforce putting the Green Deal into practice. Member states can only act on their own like Germany desiring to abolish Glyphosate while it could be re-approved on EU level. However in order to meet the climate protection goals all member states would need to follow, not just a few individual ones.
