The way John Gruber writes about the EU feels insulting at this point.

I’m sensing it as the same kind of rhetoric that was used by Brexiters about 10 years ago — dumbing down the narrative to the point of disregarding some of the most important aspects that have lead to the DMA.

His way of constantly implying that Apple’s anticompetitive practices can be justified because they make for better experiences is often just based on the false assumption that people are dumber than they really are.

Huge yikes.

Kagi is now partnering with Brave to power its search results — and they seem to be dismissing their users’ concerns regarding this partnership with a company that’s notorious for being led by a proud anti gay rights supporter.

Just as I’ve consistently advised against using Brave’s products, I now advise against using Kagi as long as it contributes to a homophobic business.

There can be no neutral politics when it comes to people’s rights and lives.

Introducing: @TangerineUI 🍊🐘

Tangerine UI is a custom theme for Mastodon's Web UI. It features a soft color palette, a bubblier look, round avatars, and a more compact timeline that should be easier on your eyes.

Tangerine UI auto-switches from dark and light mode based on your OS preference, and comes in 2 variants: tangerine 🍊 and purple 🪻

Live demo @ https://nileane.fr
Find the instructions to install Tangerine UI on your instance on Github → https://github.com/nileane/TangerineUI-for-Mastodon :)

“Bluesky could be the future of content moderation”.

I 100% disagree.

Yes, the protocol offers a plethora of ways to filter content and ensure you never come across, say, Nazis.

But that’s not what content moderation is. Content moderation is making decisions. It is either welcoming or refusing certain types of content on your platform.

If you’re letting everyone in, and telling your users "but you have control!", you’re not moderating anything. You’re just quitting.

If you’re in the EU, the newest iOS 17.4 Beta has the alternative browser picker when you first open Safari.

I feel the same way about AI that I did about crypto when it started becoming a thing:

• All of the moral practices that make it possible are fucked beyond repair.

• It’s spawning some of the worst companies, and enriching some of the worst billionaires in the world.

• While there are some genuinely useful, practical applications for it, there are so few of them, and they have had so little positive impact so far, that it doesn’t even seem like it’s going to be worth it anytime soon.

The French government has banned TikTok in New Caledonia following pro-independence protests.

When asked about the legality of the measure, it basically replied that since the territory is not part of the EU’s jurisdiction, it’s perfectly allowed to ban social platforms however it likes.

What in the colonial crap is this bullshit. For fuck’s sake.

Je sais que je ne fais que répéter ce que beaucoup ont déjà dit aujourd'hui en apprenant la nouvelle mais : la Fédération internationale des échecs (FIDE), en interdisant aux femmes trans de concourir avec les femmes cis, accumule en une seule décision une telle quantité de non-sens et de pure misogynie que ça en devient un challenge de formuler une réaction.

On rappelle que le terme « tirs de mortiers » pour parler de feux d'artifices c'est de la propagande, relayé systématiquement par les médias et trop utilisé par le grand public pour parler de simples feux d'artifice en manifestations.

Et cela pour quoi ? Pour assimiler les feux d'artifice à des armes de guerre, pour pseudo-militariser les manifestants, et pour détourner le regard de ceux qui se sont vraiment drastiquement militarisés dans les manifs : la police.

Close to nothing wrecks my mood like discovering an app I like is made by people who would rather see me tortured or dead.

What's worse is reading straight white people dismiss those facts for their own convenience, just so they can continue using and recommending said app.
