@nixCraft

perfect!

@pixelfed

How close is it to being open sourced ?

@JamieGC

Remember when years ago people said

"they're doing this to Palestinians, and if you don't speak out they'll do it here".

This is so relevant.

🔥 fire by @aral - 5 years ago, but so relevant it feels like it was given yesterday

@aral

They're desperate to find "growth" anywhere - behind the sofa, on top of the fridge, in magical AI

the tragedy is two-fold

1. like every modern tech hype bubble, the promised sustainable good industries rarely emerge

2. the human costs will be high - and we'll have to pay collectively

I detest the man, for his pandering to the alt right, and his enabling of genocide.

But I had expected him to be "boring" enough to invest in green industry - slow but steady, not flash in the pan

@aral

Ireland knows what colonialism is.

@testing @ayoub

It's been going on slowly but surely for decades.

Here Palestinian children's art was removed from a London hospital due to complaints from the (infamous) UKLFI.

This was before Oct 7 2023.

example image? "The artwork shows scenes from everyday life in Gaza, including this image of a fisherman"

@nixCraft

So that's why the binary size for notepad jumped from 0.18k to 3.8Gb

The new world order.

... is no order, except the rule of might and violence.

Is this what you wanted from your governments?

@arstechnica

aside from the fact that this should not be "connected" anyway ...

.. isn't it a standard design principle that you need 2 vulnerabilities to be exploited before something serious can happen ?

@EUCommission

This is lovely and beautiful and hopeful.

Unless you're Palestinian.

----

Reminder that Von Der Leyen said Israel "made the desert bloom" which is Israeli propaganda that diminishes the actual presence and history of Palestinians.

@fsfe @EUCommission

Is software truly free, or at least independent, if it can't survive without state or corporate support?

Just thinking aloud ... not sure of the answer yet.

f**k #bidenharris for funding and arming this #genocide

and gaslighting us that they're sorry about it

Hi @libreoffice

Is this an issue that surprises you?

(which probably means the cause is at my end, but I have had it since 2018 when I reported a bug)

@aral

The UK is helping too by contributing to the bliss*.

* by arresting journalists who report on the horror of Israel's genocide, thereby making it easier to live in blissful ignorance

@Deixis9 @RnDanger @aral @FelisCatus

It's not complicated my friend.

What's complicated about :

* genocide and apartheid (ICJ, Amnesty, HRW)

* ethnic cleansing

* environmental vandalism

* targeting children, journalists and using human shields

* .. provably lying about it

* violating decades of UN resolutions

* bombing and assassination in other's territory

* $$billions and US weapons to Israel

* near total destruction of Palestinian territory (see map)

@Migueldeicaza

Are you listening #KamalaHarris #DNC ?

@rbreich

Palestine, what's left of it, doesn't.

What other #mastodon instances do people recommend?

Mastodon social has removed my posts three times now regarding the #genocide in #gaza.

My main topics - computing, generative art, python, human rights 🏳️🌈, climate emergency, food, coffee, pizza, anti fascism, anti imperialism, anti colonialism, music, dance, photography, graphics, UX design, typography, art and its history, .. and loving books.

And maths!

I like to discover new things, not sure if small instances limit discovery?

#mastodon social removed a post today.

It was a map showing the drastic shrinking of Palestinian territory since 1946.

I challenged it - and mastodon social agreed they were in error.

It seems some bad actor is going around taking down anything that highlights Israel's crimes - 75 years of crimes.

To that bad actor I say -- "The world is waking up to what Israel is, you can't stop that."

Here's the map again because the post was not restored.

#freepalestine, #BDS end the #genocide
