Pojutrze wybory. Nie angażuję się zwykle w poważny sposób na tematy polityczne poprzez swoje social media, ale dziś zrobię od tego wyjątek, na jeden post. Wybaczcie mi.

Mam do was, konkretnie do tych spośród was którzy nie chcą iść głosować w drugiej turze wyborów prezydenckich, bo nie odpowiada wam żaden z zaproponowanych kandydatów, jedną prośbę. Zanim postanowicie tę niedzielę przespać, spójrzcie na swoich przyjaciól ze Stanów Zjednoczonych. Czy są oni ostatecznie zadowoleni z tego, że wielu spośród nich pokazalo "moralną wyższość", nie głosując na "mniejsze zło"? Czy też może patrzą nerwowo na coraz to nowe decyzje i wypowiedzi ich prezydenta?

Wszystkie sondaże pokazują, że wygrać może którykolwiek kandydat. Różnica jest zasadniczo poniżej błędu statystycznego. Wszystko, nawet pogoda; każdy, nawet wy, może ostatecznie zmienić wynik tych wyborów.

Na stole opcje są tylko dwie. Któraś z nich musi wygrać, innej drogi nie ma. Ja już zdecydowałem. Mam nadzieję, że zrobicie to i wy.

Do zobaczenia w niedzielę przy urnach.

I am so tired of companies believing their APP is the center of everyone's world. Get it into your heads: your app is a TOOL. Like a screwdriver. That, in this particular case, I would like to use to adjust levels of my microphone interface.

I don't want a "better experience", and I don't care about your "new app". You are overhead. Cost. Drag.

Watching Microsoft’s robots telling Microsoft’s other robots that they need to agree to Microsoft CLAs in between Microsoft’s developers begging Microsoft’s robots to actually understand the problems they’re trying to fix in Microsoft's platform code on Microsoft's version-control website is kind of amazing.

This is definitely the future Terry Gilliam promised us.

It is 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative calling for a ban on "conversion therapy" (here meaning, pseudoscientific attempts to "cure" LGBTQs) is less than 250,000 votes from success. This is astounding, the votes have like, *tripled* in a week.

The page says voting ends "May 17", and I wish I knew if that meant "at midnight tonight" or "midnight tomorrow" or what. Uh. Do you know

Germany is ~6,000 local votes from endorsing it. Are there 6,000 Germans on this website

OKAY WOW. WOW. THE WHOLE THING WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. WOW.

The EU citizen initiative petitioning the European Parliament to outlaw "conversion therapy" ("curing" LGBTs via torture) has met its threshold (1M votes and 8 countries supporting).

One week ago I sincerely thought y'all wouldn't make it. Amazing work Europe (and hi5 Germany, now country 8).

This is an incredible statement at a time the US/UK govt are forcing conversion (medical detransition) for trans minors.

@mcc I think it would be easier to collect votes if you added short information, how this therapy works and what it means for further life, how people concerned feel afterwards. This is not known in general.
Show threadsnotrMay 16
@Tabby_Schaf @mcc This is a valid point. I shared this in some groups, a few people didn’t even know what conversion therapy is. At first, they mocked the title, but after I explained it, some of them changed their minds (not all, but at least a few did).

@saxnot As you can see at the linked site, the collection period started a year ago. But it gained a lot of momentum in recent weeks and days, so it's possible they'll crack the million in time.
Show threadtarneoMay 16
@saxnot @mcc The petition has been online for a year (this is the time window for signatures). But right now, we're seeing signature rates of 8 signatures per second, giving us good chances to succeed (according to my own very unscientific calculations, so take them with a grain of salt and don't lean back from promoting the petition or the calculations will become false !).

@mcc not necessarily on this site. But there has been an Instagram story going around calling to action to sign it and last time yesterday I saw it it had 5k+ shares. So maybe it'll grow a bit more (especially around queer and kinksters it did).

@mcc Come on #Germany and #Portugal! It would be disappointing if we do not reach the threshold and the petition does not make it to the European Commission. It took 361 days to make 500000 people sign and it took two days for 300000 extra. I think it's possible to reach 1000000 today!

@mcc
I'm confused. The image says "minimum threshold in at least 7 countries", and on the map there are 7 countries colored as "have reached the threshold".
Sure, every vote counts, but I see no urgency for Germany in particular.
Am I mistaken?
Show threadJaddyMay 16

@dalius_berger @mcc Even though Germany has passed its threshold, signatures from Germany still count!

We must reach a total of 1 mio for success.

There're only 47.000 missing at this time (14:18) and it doesn't mapper from which country the come.

So if you haven't already signed: Do it now, activate all your friends.
