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.

SHAKE IT BABY

1,000,000 votes out of 1,000,000 needed for the EU citizens initiative calling for a conversion therapy ban

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

ANOTHER UPDATE: About three minutes ago on the website, France literally hit 1000% support for the anti-"Conversion Therapy" initiative. France really showed up here, with ten times the threshold support FR is literally half the supporters on this initiative. Apparently the people of France really, REALLY don't want their trans friends medically tortured

(if this is a boost, see upthread for explanation)

There are ~7 hours left in the EU citizens initiative ( https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home ) asking the EU parliament to ban "conversion therapy" (pseudo-medical efforts to "cure" queers). It's at 1.2 million votes over 1 million; surplus votes are good because some votes may be disqualified, so EU nationals, it's still worth voting!

One thing I notice, it looks like DENMARK and CROATIA are *so* close to passing— under 1000 votes each. Does anyone here know how to inject a message in the Danish internet?

Dear Croatia:

Thank you <3

@mcc I gave it a shot: https://mastodon.online/@atjn/114524024820928947

Seems like the Danish channels are already flooded with posts about it, maybe there arent enough danes on Mastodon yet?

Hvis du synes at det skal være ulovligt at torturere transkønnede i EU, så skynd dig ind og stem her: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home Vi mangler kun 1.200 stemmer for at nå spærregrænsen i Danmark, og der er 6 timer tilbage! #dkpol

Mastodon
@atjn Or maybe we've just flooded the Danish part of Mastodon, yeah :) Maybe everyone likely to see it has already voted.
@mcc Do you have a link to these stats please?

@fox https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

Hover your mouse over the countries on the map

@fox @mcc when you go on the petition page, on desktop (don’t see it on mobile), you have the map

https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

@nononymous @fox on my phone I can get the map by tapping the menu in my browser and selecting "request desktop site". Then just tapping the countries gives me stats.
@mcc @nononymous @fox to just see the stats without the map you can just click "show all countries", which gives a list.
@mcc it may be related to a few people with lots of followers (singers Angèle and Hoshi, but also author @bouletcorp2 ) sharing the initiative in the last remaining days. Good job indeed!
@Pandora @mcc @bouletcorp2 Minister Gabriel Attal shared it too. I guess even political adversaries sometimes do the right thing.
@mcc 🩵🩷🤍 it’s so nice to see some positive news like this right now
@mcc allez les frères et sœurs, du beau boulot ! 🎇

@mcc i really wasn't expecting this to pass at all

never underestimate french leftists

@mcc "that one time I wasn't ashamed of that country"
@mcc And Italy hit the threshold as well now. So it’s now nine countries. And it’s a good chunk above the required million votes. If this keeps up and there are indeed 24 more hours to go, this initiative might hit 2 million votes.

@mcc merci beaucoup, France.

This thing has got some serious legs now... I wonder how many people heard about it _through Mastodon_? I know I did. (Sadly, not EU citizen YET, or you're bloody well right I'd've signed it, in big bold rainbow letters if possible :)

@mcc people underestimate how strong La France Insoumise, our radical left party, is. There was a massive communication to help with this initiative, and we delivered.
@kodr @mcc now we are at 1200% which is really great, but on the other hand its depressingly low (500000 or smth) incomparison to the number of french people, I would hope they simply have not seen the petition, but with all the far right morons there is still some way to go.
@kodr @mcc can't believe a party would do something so political, smh
@mcc Now that's just great:

"Emmanuel Macron praises the mobilization for banning conversion therapy, but forgot to tell that the homeland security minister he nominated voted against it in 2021. Not forgetting, not forgiving"

instagram post: "I salute the mobilization of european citizens to ban conversion therapies. In France, we banned them in 2022. It's a fight for freedom, dignity and respect. Together we will succeed."
Lecoindeslgbt (@lecoindeslgbt@piaille.fr)

Attaché : 2 images Emmanuel Macron félicite la mobilisation pour interdire les thérapies de conversion en Europe mais oublie de dire que le ministre de l'intérieur qu'il a nommé, Bruno Retailleau, a voté contre l'interdiction de ces tortures en 2021. Ni oubli, ni pardon.
