RIP Abdullah Ibrahim.

Not his most iconic piece possibly, but I have listened to Someday Soon Sweet Samba so many times...

Qu’attendent toutes les personnalités politiques qui parlent de souveraineté numérique mais ne sont même pas capables de quitter Twitter ?

Abandonner Twitter est une question de volonté politique.

Pour ma part, je n’y suis plus depuis le 20 janvier 2025, investiture de Trump.

I would love to see a major reduction in flights. Nobody really NEEDS to be travelling round the world via planes.

Brits don't need family holidays drinking Stella by a pool in benidorm or Tenerife and the locals probably don't want them there either.

No reason to fly out for a stag do in another country, or for people to fly into London to see Big Ben. It just needs to stop.

Get a train if you want to travel.

Does anyone know of some organisations that are actually making progress with the banning of flights? I only found one called Stay grounded.

Honestly the hardest part about making your website as part of the #BeYourOwnPlatform movement is removing all the "tricks" that we have been lured into using.

Marketing, lead magnet, hype language, leading the customer. All this shit is so toxic, but we still do it because "it works" and we are told it's "professional".

Oh well. Things are moving along as always on https://lisleg.com/

A forever learning-experience. Just over here trying to make my corner of the web more human!

In a couple of weeks we will spend some days in Plymouth (UK), visiting family. Anything you want to recommend (city, sea, countryside) for a family with children 10-13-15? Ideally accessible with public transportation.

"Musk's amplification has been instrumental," contributing 64 million views, CCDH said in a report. "As the owner of X and its most followed user, Musk has unparalleled power to shape what people see online. (…) Yet our research shows that he used the Belfast tragedy to amplify anti-migrant narratives to millions of users, prompting endless calls for violence." https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/06/13/musk-s-role-was-instrumental-in-the-belfast-riots-according-to-researchers_6754420_4.html

Avec un bilan carbone de près de huit millions de tonnes de CO2, la Coupe du monde 2026 sera la plus polluante de l'histoire – franceinfo

> La compétition organisée aux États-Unis, au Canada et au Mexique aura un bilan carbone encore pire que celle organisée par le Qatar il y a quatre ans, en grande partie en raison des déplacements de spectateurs qui se feront par avion.

Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and its benefits.
The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil fuel emissions are doing to our oceans.

Starting to read the paper on artificial satellite trail pollution in Low Earth Orbit using SPHEREx data and already the first sentence makes me angry about the authors.

No, humanity has not launched these satellites! It's a few rich countries and in particular one billionaire!

Why can't you authors not name the truth?

Copenhague: Neither rejsebillett nor rejsekort apps let me setup a user from my e/os/ phone. Is it a know problem in copenhague and are there workarounds?
