À Gaza, Israël organise une famine.

En Ukraine, la Russie cible spécifiquement civils et infrastructures civiles.

Dans les deux cas, les civils sont ciblés sans justification militaire. Ce qui constitue un crime de guerre.

L'inculpation de Netanyahu et de Gallant par la Cour Pénale Internationale est une issue logique.

La Russie a violé le droit international en Ukraine et continue de le faire. Des violations qui doivent être sévèrement punies.

Israël est l'allié de nombreux pays occidentaux. Mais le droit international s'applique à tous, y compris aux démocraties.

Mêmes actes, mêmes conséquences.

In Gaza, Israel is engineering a famine.

In Ukraine, Russia is specifically targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.

In both cases, civilians are targeted for no military reasons. Which is a war crime.

The indictment of Netanyahu and Gallant by the ICC is a logical consequence issue.

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

@sue @samwalkow I'm not a dev, I'm a writer.

But I've seen a similar dynamics about my writing (I mostly write economics, statistics, and critical thinking popularization content).

I was berated multiple times on here because some of my newsletter posts are under a paywall.

“We don't want people like you on here”.

People like me? Such as “people who cannot afford to work for free on their passion project”?

Let’s start another , this time on upcoming and new features on .

Megathreads are open ended threads where I share relevant information about a specific topic.

Bluesky will soon have proper DMs, video, better auth (via OAuth), better custom feeds, and even more anti-harassment features.

Not a feature, but an interesting post by Jay Graber, the CEO of .

How involved was before he left the board? Not that much, it turns out.

It has always been misleading to present Bluesky as the “platform of Jack Dorsey”. It’s also sexist, as once again, the work of a talented woman was wrongfully attributed to a very mediocre man. The tech version of the Matilda effect.

Thanks to Tusks by @bardi, I have decided to experiment a #MegaThread. Over time, I will compile great #Mastodon tools, apps, and services in a single, long thread.

I will update the Mega Thread every time I find a new tool that I find worth mentionning, either third-party or first-party.

For the first post, I want to showcase… Tusks, obviously! It’s an excellent app for macOS, iOS, and iPad to compose and update threads.

Jack Dorsey (co-fondateur de Twitter) a enfin quitté le board de Bluesky. Ça faisait longtemps qu’il n’y mettait plus les pieds, ça faisait plus d’un an qu’il avait supprimé son compte, mais des gens passaient encore leur temps à reprocher à Bluesky d’avoir ce mec à leur board, vraiment un argument bien éclaté au sol qui disparaît…

…et ironique quand on sait qu'un autre co-fondateur de Twitter (Biz Stone) est désormais au board de la fondation Mastodon aux US 😅

@Signez @renchap (Je partage tout ce que vous dites l'un et l'autre. J'ajoute que présenter Bluesky comme "le réseau de Jack Dorsey” est aussi un argument fondamentalement misogyne : on prend le travail d'une femme talentueuse, Jay Graber, et on l'attribue à un homme d'une insondable médiocrité. L'effet Matilda en somme, mais appliqué au secteur de la tech plutôt qu'à la recherche scientifique.)

@tshirtman Sauf que je n’avais pas l’URL, c’est pour ça que j’ai dû fouiller la déchèterie qu’est son profil pour vérifier si l’impression d’écran que j’avais vu était réelle 🥲

Me, feeding 2 people and 2 cats on a 60k EUR salary without benefits (because technically self-employed), reading those comments that claim a 501(c)(3) is some kind of nefarious scheme to hide money 😐

@Gargron Thank you for everything you do. The people who are saying that are unhinged ideologues.

The Report by @laurenshof is a great resource to keep up with how social media is changing.

What I especially like compared to more mainstream coverage is how Laurens keeps track of less "shiny" projects. Those are a fertile ground for new innovations.

I just realized that #GhostCMS being compatible with #ActivityPub (and possibly #ATProtocol / #Bluesky at a later date) means that it will probably be possible to tag somebody directly in a newsletter post, via their #Mastodon or #Threads profile for instance.

I love this idea.
