Hello 👋 , nouvelle instance donc nouvelle .
Je suis un ingénieur en informatique 💻 et un formateur d'adultes. Je passe la majorité de mon temps de travail rémunéré (donc une faible partie de mon temps au final) à former des étudiant·e·s sur des sujets informatiques (programmation principalement) et sur un cours qui se rapproche de l'anthropologie et qui a pour objectif d'étudier les influences de l'évolution historique de l'informatique sur notre société contemporaine.
En parallèle de ça, j'encadre des formations sur des questions de sécurité, de respect de la vie privée, de sensibilisation à l'impact environnemental du numérique ou encore dans le but de remettre le numérique à sa place d'outil.
En plus de ça, je suis militant de l’éducation nouvelle au sein des Ceméa, militant de gauche radicale à tendance anarcho-syndicaliste, et évidemment militant antispéciste. En ce moment j’essaie de comprendre pourquoi la quasi-totalité des luttes ont des œillères énormes sur la question de l’exploitation animale.
Je pouet majoritairement en français, mais je réagis en anglais également.

Hello 👋 , new instance so new .

I'm a software engineer 💻 and adult teacher. I spend most of my paid working time (so a small part of my time in the end) teaching students on IT subjects (mainly programming) and on a course that is closer to anthropology and which aims to study the influences of the historical development of IT on our contemporary society.
At the same time, I run training courses on issues of security, respect for privacy, raising awareness of the environmental impact of digital technology and helping to put digital technology back in its rightful place as a tool.
On top of that, I'm an activist for new education within the Ceméa, a radical left-wing activist with anarcho-syndicalist tendencies, and of course an anti-speciesist activist. At the moment I'm trying to understand why almost all struggles have huge blinkers on when it comes to animal exploitation.
I write mostly in French, but I also react in English.

Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest. This letter was dictated over the phone from the ICE detention facility in Louisiana:

My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law.

Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn’t the
Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his
family an ocean away. It isn’t the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing.

Justice escapes the contours of this nation’s immigration facilities.

On March 8, I was taken by DHS agents who refused to provide a warrant, and accosted my wife and me as we returned from dinner. By now, the footage of that night has been made public. Before I knew what was happening, agents handcuffed and forced me into an unmarked car. At that moment, my only concern was for Noor’s safety. I had no idea if she would be taken too, since the agents had threatened to arrest her for not leaving my side. DHS would not tell me anything for hours — I did not know the cause of my arrest or if I was facing immediate deportation. At 26 Federal Plaza, I slept on the cold floor. In the early morning hours, agents transported me to another facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. There, I slept on the ground and was refused a blanket despite my request.

My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free
Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night. With January’s
ceasefire now broken, parents in Gaza are once again cradling too-small shrouds, and families are forced to weigh starvation and displacement against bombs. It is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom.

I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family which has been displaced from their land
since the 1948 Nakba. I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being
Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel’s use of administrative detention — imprisonment without trial or charge — to strip Palestinians of their rights. I think of our friend Omar Khatib, who was incarcerated without charge or trial by Israel as he returned home from travel. I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.

I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear. My unjust detention is indicative of the anti-Palestinian racism that both the Biden and Trump administrations have demonstrated over the past 16 months as the U.S. has continued to supply Israel with weapons to kill Palestinians and prevented international intervention. For decades, anti-Palestinian racism has driven efforts to expand U.S. laws and practices that are used to violently repress Palestinians, Arab Americans, and other communities. That is precisely why I am being
targeted.

While I await legal decisions that hold the futures of my wife and child in the balance, those who enabled
my targeting remain comfortably at Columbia University. Presidents Shafik, Armstrong, and Dean
Yarhi-Milo laid the groundwork for the U.S. government to target me by arbitrarily disciplining
pro-Palestinian students and allowing viral doxing campaigns — based on racism and disinformation —
to go unchecked.

Columbia targeted me for my activism, creating a new authoritarian disciplinary office to bypass due
process and silence students criticizing Israel. Columbia surrendered to federal pressure by disclosing student records to Congress and yielding to the Trump administration's latest threats. My arrest, the expulsion or suspension of at least 22 Columbia students — some stripped of their B.A. degrees just weeks before graduation — and the expulsion of SWC President Grant Miner on the eve of contract negotiations, are clear examples.

If anything, my detention is a testament to the strength of the student movement in shifting public opinion toward Palestinian liberation. Students have long been at the forefront of change — leading the charge against the Vietnam War, standing on the frontlines of the civil rights movement, and driving the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Today, too, even if the public has yet to fully grasp it, it is students who steer us toward truth and justice.

The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. Visa-holders, green-card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. In the weeks ahead, students, advocates, and elected officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all.

Knowing fully that this moment transcends my individual circumstances, I hope nonetheless to be free to witness the birth of my first-born child.

Happy !

I'm Jenny, I'm a in Wales. I like my brain. It works differently than yours in a number of ways, and that's frankly quite cool.

On a practical level it means I approach tasks differently, I often struggle with not knowing what's expected of me, and I behave outside of norms in some ways.

Anyway, shout outs to my fellow neurospicy people! This week we should remember that we're actually very awesome.

A photo of a white woman in her late 30s with long brown-and-blue hair, glasses, a black and grey top, a grey apron, and a leather bracelet. In front of her is an open tool roll filled with conservation tools. She's looking at a brush in her right hand and smiling a little to herself, while she's taking out another tool from the roll with her left hand. There's a warm yellow background behind her and a white table in front.A blue and white graphic promoting Neurodiversity Celebration Week: at the top we've got the NCW logo, in the middle a blue bar that reads "I'm supporting!" and at the bottom the dates (March 17 - 23, 2025) and the URL for the website promoting the event.

Do you use github or gitlab or codeberg or something else for hosting open source projects that you run?

I would love to hear your reasons! I have mostly been using github, but would love to move away from it.

I jokingly asked, on a channel “What is @bsdcan?” and got:

“ is a conference to support BSD and its contributors. It's great and I hope to attend someday. I wish we'd built our ISP on it thirty years ago lol but I chose some proprietary garbage because it promised simplicity and failed miserably”
