@benroyce Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time…

#capitalism

Man, I’m going to miss Biden. He really was the lovable grandfatherly face of genocide.

@fixatedpersonsunit 🤷♂️

Looks like fascist governments like the US and Hungary will be welcoming wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu whereas non-fascist ones might arrest him. I guess it’s a good way to know whether you live in a fascist country or not.

Earlier this year, many of you contributed to Ahmed Issa's crowdfund (who'd I met at Palestine Writes festival last year), to help him and his young family escape from the genocide. I forgot to post follow up news: he did escape to safety, with his wife and two sons. And is applying to universities to continue his education.

Ahmed promised to pay it forward if he got out, and he's indeed been doing that. He's set up a scholarship program to mentor tertiary students in Gaza. He needs financial support to continue this work > https://gofund.me/ee7f3f8a

Now, the sad news.

Sha'aban al-Dalo, the young man that Israel murdered with fire yesterday, was a student supported by this Scholarships for Gaza. Shaaban had earlier been injured in a bombing attack when he was sheltering outside of al-Asqa hospital. He was then treated, stitches and an IV, and was once again sheltering in a tent outside of the hospital. Israel then burnt him alive. The world watched Shaaban's last - excruciatingly painful - moments.

On Insta, Ahmed Issa's shared his last communication with Shaaban:

@palestine #StopGenocide #Gaza #Palestine

But this was merely a symbolic measure.

Among the African masses...there is the perception (accurate to be frank) that the body lacks objectivity and is politically aligned.

African observers of global political affairs are all aware of how the ICC completely sidestepped Iraq and Afghanistan. The swiftness of arrest warrants for Putin, compared to the dillydallying on warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant...well it's hardly even subtle is it?

@catileptic Thanks so much for your kind words, appreciate it 💕

@thisismissem @catileptic Yep.

Genocide Joe doesn’t like the International Criminal Court, you say? How shocking. https://mastodon.social/@EndIsraeliApartheid/113525790827213962

@vincent Haha, nice :)

@thisismissem @catileptic Yep.

@lnkr Yep. It loops however many you’ve curated. Took me long enough to curate the (currently 24). I’ll likely add more to it going forward.

Basically, it’s so you have a streaming datasource if you want to demonstrate how to build a fediverse app or consume a WebSocket or a GET route. Useful for presentations, teaching, etc. I use it in a Kitten tutorial, for example.

@javielico Thanks! Hope you find it useful :) 💕

@axwax Thanks :)

@stefan 💕

Streamiverse is written in Kitten and you can follow the “htmx, the htmx WebSocket extension, and socket routes” tutorial to create a Kitten app that consumes the API:

https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/htmx-the-htmx-web-socket-extension-and-socket-routes/

To get started with Kitten, see:

(Could be a fun little thing to play with this weekend.)

Introducing Streamiverse… a simple streaming API of Mastodon-compatible curated posts from the fediverse.

https://streamiverse.small-web.org

Consume the public API curated/hosted by Small Technology Foundation (for non-commercial and educational use) or host your own.

Mastodon had a public streaming API but it was locked down this year. This gives you back that useful feature (for demos, teaching, etc.) plus you know exactly what you’re getting.

@vincent @alci Oh, trust me, 0 is cold and 100 is hot in Celsius too ;)

@daaain Oh, no, that facepalm was for myself. It makes perfect sense for the laptop to power things that are plugged in regardless and I do love that everything just always works. I just previously had power going in through the same dongle via USB-C and now it’s via the MagSafe so I forgot to plug it in :)

Apparently Apple’s all-day battery life becomes all-night battery life if you leave your laptop attached to a USB hub without plugging it in.
