35 years ago today, June 4, 1989, Poles ousted the communist party in the first partly free elections since WW2. The election set off a chain of events that led to the opening of the Berlin wall. The USSR's European empire had collapsed by the end of the year.
Also on June 4, 1989, the Chinese army fired on Tianamen Square protesters, ending any hope of political change. The massacre helped inspire the Chinese communist party to create the total surveillance state they are completing today.

Do you mean the Google LLM search, according to which eating stones is healthy? Just LLM nonsense? I don't see any pages in the Wikipedia Tiananmen Square protests/massacre navigation box about widespread denialism in the West [1].

In June 2023, "people ... in Paris, Boston, Sydney, and Osaka, held public discussions, exhibitions, gatherings, and published essays to commemorate the Tiananmen crackdown" [2].

The can issue for signatories countries an arrest warrant on because it has jurisdiction over international crimes committed in since 2012

BUT

If doesn't recognise the , its territory isn't included in the jurisdiction, and the crimes of Hamas where carried out there, then how can the issue a legally binding arrest warrant on Hamas leaders?

A related effect:

If the 5 warrants are accepted, then states party to the will have to arrest any of the five who are on the states' territory.

So the security services [3] will be obliged to arrest , or if they are on Palestinian territory; and transfer them to the ICC's custody in The Hague.

Just to throw ideas around: on Fedi you might be able to find enough people in a small town in the US like Échirolles in France where you could have a job helping the town council convert to FOSS. Probably more software education, teaching about posting bug reports/issues, and some software adaptation, than writing code. Depends if such a town exists in the US. Later try for county, state, federal govt agencies?

@Francois It seems to me that the research questions that would be the most effective against the #ClimateEmergency would be empirical models of the decision-making of corporations, governments, banks, international institutions especially at concrete events such as #COP29, and modelling of how the decisions could in reality be rational, transparent, evidence-based, participatory. Not just hypothetical "if we had a revolution" models.

People like @OliverEscobar do research in that direction.

Utterly ridiculous from the Pulitzer Prize committee today.

This Pulitzer citation supposedly honoring 🇵🇸 journos doesn't actually do so.

"Journalists & media workers covering the war in Gaza" includes everyone, Palestinian or otherwise.

The citation fails to mention the nationality of the journalists who "died" (euphemism which downplays the worst recorded journo slaughter), or the identity of their killers, the Israeli army.

Please compare with the 2022 citation for 🇺🇦 journalists.

The 2024 Pulitzer Prize Winner in Special Citations and Awards Journalists and Media Workers Covering the War in Gaza In recent years the Pulitzer Board has issued citations honoring journalists covering wars in Ukraine and Afghanistan. This year, the Board recognizes the courageous work of journalists and media workers covering the war in Gaza. Under horrific conditions, an extraordinary number of journalists have died in the effort to tell the stories of Palestinians and others in Gaza. This war has also claimed the lives of poets and writers among the casualties. As the Pulitzer Prizes honor categories of journalism, arts, and letters, we mark the loss of invaluable records of the human experience.

You're absolutely right. This is pure racism. Per the Pulitzer Prize committee, Ukrainian journalists exist, but Palestinian journalists don't. Palestinians are an object, not a subject.

"The Journalists of Ukraine" ... "deaths in their ranks"

versus

"Journalists ... Covering the War in Gaza" ... "died in the effort to tell the stories of Palestinians"

The @EU_Commission has launched a public #policy consultation on the rules defining the European #standards system (aka regulation 1025). The top-line for me is it completely ignores #OpenSource while making both engagement in standardisation and use of standards very hard for open source community members.

Do you have some sources for your range of estimates "Today, open source is between 80% and 99% of all software"? There was a Fediverse thread on this question some time ago, without any solid answers, if I remember right. I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing proper (preferably peer-reviewed research papers) detailing their methods of data collection and of "counting software" and presenting their results.

What's another word for a war crime, a crime against humanity or an act of genocide?

  • "an excessively harsh response" [1]

What do you call an arrest warrant for war crimes/crimes against humanity/genocide?

  • "a humbling moral rebuke" [1]

Why should you be bothered by an arrest warrant against you for war crimes/crimes ag. humanity/genocide? Because it:

  • "can pose obstacles to travel" [1]
