Mozilla deciding to put an end to its Fediverse investments while simultaneously going all in on AI tells you everything you need to know about what it has become.
I'm not entirely convinced by the new Reeder yet, but one thing is certain: @rizzi has an immense talent for designing beautiful apps, and he has just proven it again. Using the new Reeder is such a delight.
How will anyone in this country care again about voting in the elections now that Macron has demonstrated that, no matter the results, he'll do whatever he fucking wants
Après avoir refusé de nommer la candidate du Nouveau Front Populaire (193 députés), Macron préfère donc nommer le LR (47 députés) Michel Barnier au poste de Premier ministre.
Le Président a décidé de jeter le résultats des élections législatives à la poubelle.
Tout ça pour ça. Jamais un chef de gouvernement sous ce régime n'avait eu si peu de légitimité pour mener une politique.
Après une dissolution, une campagne chaotique, et une victoire de la gauche, on aboutit donc à un gouvernement de droite qui ne peut compter que sur l'extrême-droite pour subsister.
Détail très important dans le CV du nouveau Premier ministre Michel Barnier : en 1981, il a voté *contre* la dépénalisation de l'homosexualité.
Macron reste dans une continuité qu'on lui connait bien depuis 2017 en nommant toujours et encore des personnalités homophobes aux postes de responsabilité.
The trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is out, and I must say that I’m immediately thrown off by some of these shots depicting a typical American suburban neighborhood. https://youtu.be/a6voXgBlmpk
There’s even what looks like a typical American school bus that you see in the movies. It feels very odd.
I’m really not at ease when this style of American urbanism is being represented in a piece of media that’s largely been popularized outside of the US now.
Always remember that any attempt to control the bodies of trans athletes is just another chapter in the conservative’s playbook to control the bodies of all women.
La magie de la Vè République est à l'œuvre : Emmanuel Macron, désormais triplement défait par les urnes, et désormais largement minoritaire au Parlement, se permet encore de diriger la politique du pays.
Dans une démocratie fonctionnelle, il démissionnerait, ou se mettrait a minima en retrait total après avoir invité la force politique en tête (le NFP) à former un gouvernement.
Here’s a story that I wish I didn’t have to write. But it’s high time that we make this a central point anytime, anywhere Threads is pictured as a decent alternative to Twitter and Mastodon. It is only that if you’re a straight, white male.
“Good people never lie” is something white people who've never had to lie to stay alive tell themselves and others in order to sweep away the fact that they all lie all the time for stupid and hateful reasons.
Spent 2 hours on the phone trying to convince my father not to vote for the fascists this weekend. He’s so far gone. Every single racist bullshit the media have been spewing over the past few months has come out of his mouth on this phone call.
Good thing is, I was able to debunk him at every turn; leaving him resorting to whataboutisms and changing the subject as quickly as possible.
Still, the one and only argument that seemed to persuade him a least for a few seconds is when I told him that I, like most LGBT people, and most non-white people, am at risk for my life and safety if the fascists win this election.
Horrible thing is, I’m not sure that this even mattered for him in the end.
