John Newton wrote, “Amazing Grace” and here condemns the slave trade. He compares kindnapping a person from a street in London vs. a trail in Africa. The slave trade creates a market for this oppression and robbery.

Are there incentives for oppression and robbery today? I had a Reformed pastor in a bible study tell me that Christians should not be talking about “oppression”.

How can you help oppression and robbery to fail?

JOHN NEWTON (1725 - 1807) "Thoughts upon the African Slave Trade" "With regard to the natives, to steal a free man or woman, and to sell them on board a ship, would, I think, be a more difficult and more dangerous attempt in Sherbro, than in London. But I have no doubt, that the traders, who come from the interior parts of Africa, at a great distance, find opportunity, in the course of their journey, to pick up stragglers, whom they may meet in their way. This branch of oppression and robbery would likewise fail, if the temptation to it were removed."

Surprising but not surprising. Why not try to monetize your data? But also, god knows how this data is going to be used down the road.

“Between the lines: Many younger Americans consider sharing data the tradeoff for being online. They're already giving away their data for free, and are even more willing to share it for cash.

Reality check: Despite their relative comfort with sharing data, Gen Z-ers and millennials are also likelier to pay for increased security or delete data after they're done using a service, McKinsey notes.”

@MoritzGlantz It exists. In my humble opinion, it just has to be dug for, unfortunately.

When I work on my cars, I share the procedures online.

When I write software, I share it online.

It would only help those that have the same cars as me, or want to run the software I wrote for themselves, but it is there to share.

May is book's month in Uruguay, May 26th being National Book's Day. I promised to release my books freely in a #FediverseEdition proposal.
I expected to do that in their original language (Spanish).
Translation is a full time professional job which I am not prepared to do. However, some LLM helped me improve a bit my amateur translation attempt of my opera prima The Hungarian Soprano.

The main story is a nonlinear chronology which mirrors the dissonant harmonies of La Traviata.
Its structure forces the reader to become the investigator, piecing together a conspiracy the text refuses to spell out.

It is a historical fiction work covering espionage, arms traffic, government cover-ups spanning South America and Europe during the Yugoslavian wars.

The prose’s clinical tone (dates, decrees, serial numbers) sharpens the horror, making The hungarian soprano's death feel not like fiction, but like history’s darkest aria.

Six more parts await inside covering #fanaticism, #prejudice, #mystery, #psychedelia, #medicaldrama, #travel, #alcoholism, #friendship, #africa, #trans, #MedecinsSansFrontieres, #southamerica, #Brazil, and more.

Hope you enjoy it. If you feel like #commenting, #sharing or #rating it, thanks in advance.

Entirely written in #FOSS.

Book cover from Daniel Prieto's The hungarian soprano, Fediverse edition. The book cover shows the toast scene from La Traviata performed at the Opéra National du Rhin. In the foreground, the lead actress, Catherine Malfitano, in the role of Violetta, is dressed in an elaborate, low-cut Victorian-style gown with elbow-length white gloves. In her right hand, she holds a long golden goblet. On her head, she wears a feathered headdress; around her neck, an ornate choker. In the background, two men in period costume are seen watching her sing. They sit beside an elaborately laid table with linens and crockery, lit by a candelabra with five lit candles. In the background, a mansion-style setting. Cover image by: ©Claude Truong-Ngoc / Wikimedia Commons. Strasbourg, Opéra National du Rhin, Catherine Malfitano as Violetta. Directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, March 1980.
