⚡️Zelensky signed the law on the mobilization of convicts.

❗️ About 5,000 convicts wanted to defend Ukraine.

P.S. What do you think about it? 🤔

@MAKS23 They should be treated as any conscript or professional soldier. In line with (international) rule of law and human rights.

Respecting rule of law is essential. Do not copy the behavior of the enemy.

@aral @hanscees Thanks for sharing this information. Very useful. Sorry to read this: "I’m also done wasting time writing grant proposals to organisations that clearly do not care about supporting the work we do."
But reading the mail you received does not give me the impression that they "do not care about supporting the work we do", I read it as this decision was given by the "limited means".
Anyway, I will read more about https://small-tech.org/

@aral @hanscees Yes keep trying! Especially as you have all proposal texts now probably ready.

A lot of work goes into development, also of free and open source software (FOSS). With a purchase you would support all of this.

@smallcircles I have exactly the same. I also have the plan to put my CV on my own site and put on LI just a link to that.

A federated platform for #professionals, #vacancies, and #CVs woud be great.

Nu ik een stukje heb geschreven over politieke partijen die actief zijn op #mastodon wil ik een lijstje gaan maken van Nederlandse EU-politici die op de lijst staan en die actief zijn op Mastodon. Automated mirrors tellen niet mee.

"I'm changing the world," grinned Rodolphe Landemaine, between mouthfuls of a lovingly laminated, butter-free, pain au chocolat.

Landemaine, a baker, now owns five busy boulangeries in Paris, with more on the way in other French cities, all serving entirely dairy-free products to a mostly local clientele.

Not that he advertises the absence of #butter, or #eggs, or cows' #milk, in his shops. Indeed, the word "vegan" never crosses his lips.

I highly recommend LibreOffice!

Here’s an idea: let’s call people “people” on the fediverse instead of “users” whenever we can.

Compare:

“There are 42 users on this instance.”

vs

“There are 42 people on this instance.”

Which acknowledges our humanity more?

Language matters. We don’t need to perpetuate mainstream technology’s othering/colonial framing of “us” – designers/developers/other “clever folks” – and “them” – the users (usually one step removed from “dumb user” and usually the ones who get used).

@aral I've always hated 'human resources'.
