I couldn't think of a better place where to take a portrait with my new, awesome @Mastodon t-shirt that reads: "I write #AltText" : the Louvre Museum, in front of the painting "The Battle of David and Goliath" by Daniele da Volterra.

And may I share an ambitious goal with you?

I want to start advocating for the Louvre Museum to join the Fediverse (they're currently on all Big Tech social platforms only). Let's see what I can do 🤗

A reminder that Canada is proud to have one of the most comprehensive bans on “conversion therapy” in the world.

This is because it is fraudulent, harmful, and never works.

We choose evidence over ideology and protection over harm. 🇨🇦

Open Letter to European Citizens
The door to digital sovereignty is open, please come in
We ask European citizens, and through them those who govern European countries, to understand one important thing: the door to digital sovereignty does not open simply by choosing different software, but by understanding what sovereignty actually entails.
It requires open document formats, open fonts, continuity of expertise, and honesty about what "open" means.

Everyone wants to get rid of Trump, but I am starting to think we should give him a third term and get

— Iceland in the EU
— Britain rejoining the EU
— Norway fully joining the EU
— All EU countries switching to European weapons systems
— Laws against US surveillance systems in Europe
— An end to European collaboration with American NSA
— More people switching to Mastodon to get away from Zuckerberg and Musk
— Rise of European streaming services
— Full bankruptcy of Tesla

(Joking, but still…)

Das allgemeine Gesetz über Städte nach @notjustbikes :
"Je auto-freundlicher eine Stadt ist, umso beschissener ist es, sich dort aufzuhalten"

"While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone - whether or not they drive - is harmed by it."

I thought this was the case but here is the founder of skylight saying it. Developers using #ATproto not only get access to their larger network, but they also have #bluesky paying for most if not all their infrastructure costs. So of course they are building there instead of here. And over time, the VC money also means they can outlast anything built on fedi.

The whole #ATmosphere is becoming dependent on the company itself and VC money.
