We were on Mars today, believe it or not

#LaRéunion

Picture taken at the Plaine des Sables. It’s a volcanic plain in La Réunion, where the landscape looks a lot like Mars. The soil is red, and there are several shades of red coloring the landscape.

Selfie. I look tired but I’m happy to be on Mars.

Thinking about that time when I was interviewed by Le Monde to talk about pinkwashing. https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/video/2023/06/01/qu-est-ce-que-le-pinkwashing-cette-strategie-marketing-qui-s-approprie-les-luttes-lgbt_6175683_3224.html

The main thing that I kept emphasizing in that interview was that the most outrageous type of pinkwashing in this country has been perpetrated by Macron’s successive governments since 2017. Governments that always like to pretend they are on the side of LGBTI+ people, and yet systematically fail to protect and further their rights.

Unsurprisingly, none of that was kept in.

The International Criminal Court prosecutor announces applications for arrest warrants in relation to Hamas leaders, as well as Benjamin Netanyahu and his Minister of Defense, for bearing the responsibility of war crimes and crimes against humanity. https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-aa-khan-kc-applications-arrest-warrants-situation-state

Let's watch as some of our worst political leaders start either biting their tongues or doubling down and calling the ICC antisemitic.

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.

Une immense nouvelle qui fait beaucoup de bien : aujourd'hui, près de 100 associations, syndicats et partis politiques officialisent leur soutien à la campagne #JugePasMonGenre pour le changement de sexe à l'état civil déjudiciarisé, libre et gratuit !

Cette victoire, on peut l'arracher.
Dans la rue, et au Parlement !

New Safari bug unlocked

Some of my favorites folders icons in Safari on macOS disappear when clicking on the address bar. Every time I click the address bar, different folder icons are missing. It’s seemingly random.

In the EU, @altstore launched with Clip, the first ever clipboard manager on the iPhone that can actually run in the background and continuously monitor your clipboard, regardless of the app you’re in.

That alone makes a huge difference, enough to crown Clip the best clipboard manager to ever ship on iOS.

Here’s my review of the app on @macstories: https://www.macstories.net/reviews/altstores-clip-is-the-best-clipboard-manager-on-ios-yet/
