“Freedom of the press is a fundamental indicator of a people’s state of health.” That’s not a journalist talking. That’s the new Pope. In his first public remarks, he called for jailed reporters to be freed. apnews.com/article/pope-leo-jo…


Once a quarter I had to meet over lunch with a elderly donor for the theatre I ran. He'd wander on telling the same stories for an hour, and then fixate on whatever his lackey brought to his attention that morning

It was the price of admission

We're all paying a similar price now. Sad #politics



Plus d’un mois après le refus du Nicaragua d’accorder sa demande d’asile, l’ancien président panaméen Ricardo Martinelli, condamné pour blanchiment d’argent, a quitté le 11 mai le Panama pour la Colombie, où il a obtenu l’asile politique du gouvernement de Gustavo Petro. Une décision qui suscite l’indignation de la presse panaméenne mais aussi de certains médias colombiens.#corruption #panama #colombie #géopolitique #politique #amériques

Une dizaine de jours après la progression spectaculaire du parti de droite populiste Reform UK aux élections locales, Keir Starmer a changé de ton devant la presse, lundi 12 mai. Le Premier ministre britannique a rompu avec la vision historique de son parti et repris à son compte une rhétorique associée à la droite dure. Ce virage fait écho à celui du parti social-démocrate danois en 2019, note la presse.#immigration #partitravaillisteroyaume-uni #europe #société #politique #royaume-uni #keirstarmer

@FediTips
Hi human ;)
I have a question for you. I received a notification of someone and the following message is displayed:
"Notifications from this account have been filtered because the account has been limited by a moderator."

My question is, why are accounts limited? is this a dangerous person? scammer? foreign asset? 😀

in reply to Fedi.Tips

Oh.. but it means then, in the last case, that the person did nothing wrong?

I thought info moved freely from one server to the other. I mean, we get notifications an interact with each other, no matter what server people is in. But now I have the impression that's not the case.

in reply to NoBorg

Usually there are no restrictions on the flow. However, there are situations where restricting the connection to another server is appropriate.

For example, if a server's admin isn't doing anything about spam or abusive accounts on their server, even after many reports, then other servers may decide to restrict that server in some way.

Here's what they were saying about AI in 1976

"As a field, artificial intelligence has always been on the border of respectability, and therefore on the border of crackpottery. Many critics have urged that we are over the border. We have been very defensive toward this charge, drawing ourselves up with dignity when it is made and folding the cloak of Science about us."

The image depicts an animated character standing in a doorway. The character has red hair, wears a teal shirt, beige pants, and pink shoes. They are holding a pot with both hands, using pink checkered oven mitts. The character's facial expression is one of surprise or shock, with wide eyes and an open mouth. The background shows a brown door and a yellow wall, suggesting an indoor setting. The character's posture and expression suggest they might be reacting to something unexpected.

UN human rights expert calls for prosecution of EU Officials over complicity in Israeli war crimes


On May 3, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for human rights in Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, called for the prosecution of leading European Union officials for complicity in the war crimes committed by Israel.

In a series of interviews and reports, Albanese accused in particular the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kalla. Albanese condemned the EU leaders for aiding and abetting gross violations of international law through their unconditional support for Israel. “The fact that the two highest figures of the EU continue business-as-usual engagements with Israel is beyond deplorable,” Albanese stated. “Immunity cannot equate with impunity. They will have to be judged before history does.”

In an interview with The Intercept Albanese reiterated: “I’m not someone who says, ‘History will judge them’—they will have to be judged before then.”

Secondo le fonti di Al Jazeera nei due attacchi sono state uccise almeno 17 persone. Tra le persone uccise nella scuola c’erano anche cinque bambini.

Video shows arrest of Mayor of Newark at US detention centre


Police bodycam footage shows Newark Mayor Ras Baraka being arrested outside a detention centre in New Jersey, during a protest about US immigration. Officials claim he trespassed, but Baraka and witnesses say he complied with orders.



Think this is (yet another) illustration of the government's overarching problem. There is no big picture project so it is essentially led by a combination of the polls and 'don't do anything that comes with too high a cost' (in of itself about being governed by the polls).

Very inspiring talk at #RIPE90

«We need to treat the internet like a damaged and degraded natural habitat - at most layers it’s a its monoculture beset by concentration and fragility [...]

we need openness and competition, interoperability, transparency about how we fund key infrastructure, and lots of room for new business models.
This keynote will inform and inspire, raise questions, but also solicit answers about how we regenerate a sustainable internet.»

"In a statement issued on Sunday, senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya announced the move following direct contact between the group and the United States in recent days. He said the decision came amid mediation efforts led by Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey.

“The movement affirms its readiness to immediately start intensive negotiations and make serious efforts to reach a final agreement to end the war, exchange prisoners in an agreed-upon manner,” al-Hayya said."
