Tutto in bici all'#Idroscalo! Passato e forse futuro?

Un bel video, di circa 100 anni fa, racconta del "mare di #Milano", e di come i milanesi ci andavano: fiumi di #bici, #biciCargo, bimbi nei cassoni.

Niente mari di asfalto per parcheggiare ingombranti scatole di metallo.

Da qualche anno il lago è raggiungibile da #Milano con una pista #ciclabile dignitosa, voglio ancora i fiumi di #bici!

Publicly owned Prestwick Airport will now no longer do business with the Israeli Air Force following pressure from the Scottish Greens and campaigners.

And we’re calling for further action both in Scotland and the UK. #SGPConf

Couple of replies which will make you angry:

1. Being dependent on Google Ads is a nice way how to be a share-cropper with the Web application, https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/07/12/WebsThePlace
2. If they are truly lying, the class action lawsuit will hopefully follow.

Reading this is nuts. Google changed its algorithm and websites are on the brink of death. This is what gatekeeping is doing.

Hate to see it, as Retro Dodo is one of my favorite websites. I read their articles almost every day. I got their book and backed/preordered the upcoming two which might never be released now.

If you are into Retrogaming or are interested in modern handhelds, consider bookmarking their website and supporting them.

Israel's killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers has the makings of a watershed moment in Washington, rapidly accelerating a months-long decline in U.S. support for the war in Gaza.

I have a lot more to say, but I'll hold it for now and simply wonder aloud...

Which BigTech clouds are the "Lavender" & "Where's Daddy?" AI systems running on? What APIs are they using? Which libraries are they calling?

What work did my former colleagues, did I, did *you* contribute to that may now be enabling this automated slaughter?

"It is difficult to find material that is dramatic enough for Ukrainians to find funny. 'A run-of-the-mill missile attack is no longer enough for us,' [Nastya Zukhvala] jokes. 'We have to go nuclear. The other day I remember waking up from explosions and being taken aback by this big, bright light. I thought, this is it! Perhaps I’m already in heaven? Then I realised, no, Nastya—that’s just the sunrise.'" #UkraineWar #comedy https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/01/06/ukrainian-stand-up-comedy-has-seen-a-renaissance-during-the-war

Danube crossings jammed as crossers mistake it for Schengen sea border https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/danube-crossings-jammed-as-crossers-mistake-it-for-schengen-sea-border/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

So @potus is now active, and due to federation is available here too. Unless your instance admins decided to defederate Threads. Because of reasons.

My entry was a data journalism project that took 7 months across 2023 to complete. My story revealed that the Ethiopian government was engaged in a Facebook campaign to mislead, misinform and lure 500,000 poor women into enrolling for domestic work employment in Saudi Arabia, as a scheme to rake in foreign currency. The women face horrendous abuses in Saudi Arabia, and the campaign facilitates human trafficking. The investigation exposed the complicity of Meta itself.

E se vi potesse interessare la storia locale di una parte del mondo, a cui togliete il diritto di avere una voce per avanzare le vostre narrative globali, ecco un racconto da uno storico di provenienza tatarstana che riesca a spiegare la storia russa in un modo adeguato per occidentali: threadreaderapp.com/…/1557045088097796096.html

@thatfatguy_bg "The real issue with a lot of small, foundational OSS libraries is just that there isn’t enough to do. They were written decades ago by a single person — and beyond bugfixes, they are not really supposed to change much. You don’t do major facelifts of zlib or giflib every year; even if you wave some cash around, it’s hard to build a sustainable community around watching paint dry. After a while, the maintainer just isn’t all that into it anymore..."
