An old Soviet era bone record from Russia, circa 1960.

"Cut onto old X-ray films, they were the only way to distribute banned pop music to the downtrodden masses. It was extremely dangerous and just shows what they’d risk for the music."

As Open Document Format (ODF) is more widely adopted, it's becoming clear: THIS is the future. A fully open, documented and standardised format – unlike Microsoft's "Transitional" OOXML: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/27/odf-is-the-future-ooxml-is-the-past/
ODF is the future, OOXML is the past - TDF Community Blog

Whenever a user, a government, a school or a business chooses the format in which to store and exchange its digital documents, it is not merely making a technical decision, but is placing a bet on the kind of digital infrastructure on which it will depend in the future. In this sense, ODF and OOXML are not two equivalent options on the same shelf, but two radically different solutions: one geared towards a future of openness, interoperability and digital sovereignty, and the other towards a past of defending a vendor’s dominant market position through user lock-in. ODF: designed to be open and transparent Open Document Format was conceived from the outset to be an open standard. It was designed and developed by the community under the auspices of OASIS, and subsequently ratified by ISO, to be implemented by anyone, on any platform, without royalties, without hidden dependencies and without the permission of any single company. These are not trivial technical details, but a statement of political and economic strategy embedded within the format itself. ODF is based on a clean XML schema, easy to read even by non-technical users and reusable. Colour naming follows standard web conventions, and its architecture

The mode of production of material life conditions the social, political and intellectual life process in general. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness. - Marx, Preface to the Critique of Political Economy (1859)

As a state party to the Genocide Convention, The Kingdom of The Netherlands files a Declaration of Intervention in the ICJ case of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel). Bravo. This means they support the case and South Africa. https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20260311-int-01-00-en.pdf

Today is the World Day Against Cyber Censorship.

What you can do, with minimal effort, to support civilians in #Iran and in many other countries with relentless censorship:

Install the #Snowflake plugin in your browser, and just enable it. No other config is required.

The plugin makes the #Tor network available to people in countries with heavy #censorship, so they can bypass it and get information from abroad.

New documents have surfaced revealing details about Israel's conduct during the 1948 War in which it ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.

The documents confirm Israeli leaders carried out more war crimes & premeditated massacres than previously thought.

The orders issued to soldiers "were unreservedly to shoot every Arab – hence it makes no difference whether it is a man or a woman, whether the Arab is armed or not, whether he flees or raises his hands and surrenders. If you saw an #Arab while on patrol, you are obligated to shoot him."

Another order read: "Arabs in a small number are wandering about in the [captured] villages ... the area is to be cleansed of Arabs ... every Arab who will be met with is to be annihilated."

"In Lod, hundreds of Arabs were taken into a mosque and Fiats (rockets) were fired into it."

Est-ce que quelqu'un.e veut une paire de pneus neige pour Clio 4 ?
Ils ont une paire de saisons mais sont encore largement bons et j'ai les pneus mais plus la voiture pour les mettre dessus.

Sur #Grenoble , don ou échange contre une bonne bière un de ces quatre.
