Amnesty International :Amnesty_International: said we need “an immediate ceasefire by all parties” and “urgent action is needed to protect civilians and prevent further staggering levels of human suffering”, they also added that “serious violations of international humanitarian law, including war crimes, by all parties to the conflict continue unabated” [Source]

As a response to this Lior Haiat, spokesperson for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said:

“Amnesty International is an antisemitic organization that is biased against Israel”

as well as

“it lacks moral authority to portray itself as a human rights organization.”

@aral really good! I'll try my best to bring this on stage.

There's a Q&A Session with the president of ICANN soon, what questions would you want to ask her? #ICANN78 #ICANN :ICANN:

@aral absolutely! Strong supporter of the #SmallWeb and, from the way I understand ICANN's ideals, the Small Web should be the final form of the Internet, or rather what ICANN should try their infrastructure to be like. To a degree, all the open protocols and standards are in place to make that happen, yet it is true that the process is so complicated and costly that most new gTLDs for example are really hosted by a few corporations, or ECO managing 70% of all domains.

There's a Q&A Session soon, if you have the time it'd be lovely if you could tell me what questions to ask!

I'm on my way to the 25th ICANN78 General Assembly to talk to the maintainers of the Internet about some very big plans.

Stay tuned - I hope to meet a few acquaintances from DENIC :DENIC: who are this year's hosts. #ICANN #ICANN78

“Peace is in danger from the right... and the left”

No it isn't. Please invite more knowledgeable speakers next time to #ICANN78 :ICANN:, this “both-sideism” in the age of a fascist party getting 20% of the votes in Germany whilst “The Left” :linke2: most likely won't make it into parliament is idiotic.

This guy also loved Volker Wissing, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

The privatization of public services and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. :blobcat_db:

Is it just me or has the Megalodon / Mastodon App been surprisingly... unstable recently? I think it crashed 28 times on me today.

A selfie of me today vs. a good selfie of me two months ago (it's two completely different people)

Rocking that #Merchtodon in front of the mastodon.de servers

A man in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to death for his tweets, and surprise: Elon Musk is NOT funding his legal bill as promised because there's a good chance that the necessary data to identify this man came from the second largest shareholder of Twitter: the Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

Musk has been awfully silent about this as you can't really make your “freedom of speech!!” argument when you assist with killing a retired teacher for the regime critic posts they made on your platform, only possible because that regime owns a huge chunk of “your” platform.

Mastodon has no profit motive, Mastodon has no shareholders. Why people choose a platform that needs to make money and make their shareholders happy to focus their obsession with a grotesque misunderstanding of “freedom of speech” around is, to put it best, beyond me.

lmao conservatives think they're scaring us with this. This is awesome :trans_comm:

@wheel_queer The hammer and sickle may have been invented for the Soviet Union, but it is not solely what it represents. Also, as the founder and main organizer of a holocaust remembrance museum, I find the usage of the word "fascist" in the context of a communist symbol very history revisionist.

The swastika represents the persecution of Jewish and queer people, the hammer and sickle represents "proletarian solidarity, a union between agricultural and industrial workers. It was first adopted during the Russian Revolution at the end of World War I, the hammer representing workers and the sickle representing the peasants."

Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital “library”.

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this. :trantifa:

I am sorry. I am German and live in Germany, so I do not have the right to run for President of the United States of America. I will try anyway

There's this dangerous open source code I need to warn you people against. There are so-called Microsoft Activation Scripts capable of activating Microsoft Windows and Office without a license key which I must heavily warn against. The pain programs like these evoke in me torrent into my body every time I hear about them! As a cybersecurity researcher it is important for me that the software industry stays alive, especially big tech such as Microsoft who built the foundation of our electronic frontier when it comes to develognument.
