Just had another wow moment while checking https://mapstodon.space's timeline: so much rich and diverse content, in many different languages, with a fresh and spontaneous balance between on-topic and off-topic conversations, and nothing but good vibes all around!

Thanks to everyone for making our little corner of the internet friendlier and more interesting everyday :)

As a non-native English speaker, one of the reasons I love #alttext on Mastodon (let alone their obvious accessibility benefits) is that they're a great way to learn new words or new ways of describing things.

Soutien à @mediapart.

"Depuis plusieurs jours, certains médias (...) évoquent l’existence d’une supposée « liste » d’auteurs présumés de violences sexuelles, que Mediapart s’apprêterait à publier. C’est faux, évidemment."

"La rumeur (...) offre une esquive à celles et ceux qui refusent de bousculer leurs certitudes, de questionner le cinéma, le rôle de l’image et de l’art dans nos représentations et la reproduction des rapports de domination et de pouvoir."

Hi @ente, I've been using your services for a couple of weeks and quite like it so far. Two questions though!

• I'm missing a few editing features. I'd like to be able to slightly rotate an image to get it perfectly horizontal, or to access more tuning features (even, why not, a couple of presets - aka "filters" - sometimes they're a good start to fine tune the image). Do you plan to integrate those? Or what workflow would you suggest?

• Any recommendation regarding printing?

Thanks!

Great lesson about centering things on the web. Could be pretty useful for cartography too, on the web or not.

Meta is allegedly sharing Whatsapp data to the IDF...

"Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group as a suspected militant. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?"

I know I'm late to the party but didn't want to be guided by urgency: after quite a lot of reading, and exchanges with people here and there, I decided to defederate https://mapstodon.space from Threads.

I hesitated for a long time because, beyond what Meta represents, it seemed crucial to me to keep the door open to all users, as opposed to the kind of "entre-soi" that is cultivated a little too often in the Fediverse. The revolution shouldn't just be for the happy few. (1/4)

Je lis que @mediapart compte 220 000 abonné·es et 137 salarié·es, et je trouve que c'est une excellente nouvelle pour la presse indépendante. Bravo!

Mais!

En ce moment-même, l'excellent @lesjoursfr cherche 2000 nouvelles et nouveaux abonné·es, sans qui son avenir n'est pas assuré.

Je lis Les Jours depuis sa création: fond & forme confondus, c'est un des plus beaux medias indés.

2000, c'est peu: abonnez-vous (et votre maman et vos ami·es) vite! Merci pour elleux!

Reading @organicmaps ideas for #GSoC 2024 is super exciting: satellite image support (fixing issue 618?), track recording, GeoJSON support, waterways routing, alternative routes, public transport support... 🤩 🤩

Let's hope there will be many candidates to work on these!

Happy Sunday evening to all - except Depeche Mode, who have agreed to an experimental algorithmic video surveillance system being deployed at a concert in Paris this Sunday evening.

"Two Depeche Mode concerts in Paris will serve as the first training grounds for algorithmic video surveillance, ahead of the Paris Olympics"

L'uniforme à l'école est en cours d'expérimentation dans plusieurs villes, dont Béziers (https://www.lemonde.fr/education/article/2024/02/26/a-beziers-plus-de-700-eleves-font-leur-rentree-en-experimentant-l-uniforme-a-l-ecole_6218610_1473685.html).

L'indice de position sociale des écoles concernées (voir message suivant pour les valeurs par école) montre que ce sont uniquement des écoles défavorisées qui sont concernées, ce qui accentue leur stigmatisation. On est donc aux antipodes de la volonté gouvernementale d'atténuer l'exclusion sociale via ce dispositif.

It's 2024 and we still don't have a "https://" key by default on every keyboard.

(But there are already some keyboards out there with the Copilot key, heh)

Pleased today because:

• Submitted paper that had been sitting a pretty long time while co-authors checked their bits

• Got cautiously positive response from a research foundation I've approached for a collaboration

So cool that vector tiles are coming to OpenStreetMap!
Now we need an OpenStreetEarth 😁

Please stop illustrating your posts with AI, it sucks.

There are plenty of great human artists out there. Take the globe that illustrates the https://mapstodon.space instance homepage: I searched for "globe" on Unsplash and @orbisterrae's work came out - which I didn't know about before. Gaël nicely agreed that we use the image, and even registered an account here.

Not mentioning that AI images all look the same - boring, soulless, stupid.

Humans rock, machines don't.

Thank you.

Lisez cet article:

"Le député du Val-de-Marne Michel Herbillon était propriétaire d’un box de parking insalubre et sans fenêtres dans lequel a vécu un jardinier pendant des années. L’homme est décédé dans le plus grand dénuement à l’âge de 76 ans. Le député n’a pas répondu à nos questions."

Les mots très justes d'@AnttonRouget pour qu'on se souvienne de Raymond Sebas, disparu en avril 2022.

Et qu'on n'oublie jamais de réclamer des comptes à Herbillon et à son monde.

Casually thinking about how a service like @panoramax is one of the two missing pieces that would allow me to not use Google Maps anymore (1). I didn't plan to contribute to it before but I will definitely consider it now :)

(1) The other one being the ability to access to aerial/satellite imagery on the same service/page where I access the OSM based maps.

Et bien je ne sais pas vous, mais moi entre le train annulé hier à 21h pour rentrer de Montpellier (le dernier), la recherche d’un endroit pour dormir sur place sans personne à la gare pour l’assistance, le réveil à 4h40 pour prendre le premier train et et les 50€ de surcoût que j’ai dû sortir sans être certain de les revoir, et bien là, comme ça, j’ai envie de dire que je la sens bien, cette journée qui commence!

Et doucement sur la jalousie, hein.
