First of all: thank you so much for this thread and your support. It means a lot to us. Specially since - as you said - the LinkedIn Drama is viewed algorithm-based just by a few people (his bubble and my bubble).

I just want to share all those credits with the WAV Kollektiv (Balz Oertli, Jennifer Steiner, Lorenz Naegeli), who were together with Marguerite Meyer my colleagues for this investigation and were working persistently on the FOIA requests processes including mediation meetings with representatives of authorities.

Yes this surrealistic comment battle happened all in our christmas holidays. I connected with Bowman on LinkedIn and saw then where he posted this ridiculous blogpost in the comments sections everywhere.

To be honest: I was more amused about Bowman's helpless attempt to discredit us. Basically it's speaking for itself. He has no arguments, he just doesn't like the adjectives. And the decision-makers and people working for the public sector hopefully will get the right message by reading this.

But you are right as well: This is not and should not be normal. This is a massive attack against our (very well documented) investigation and our journalistic integrity. And with you're boosting other people finally woke up now (who are not part of my Linkedin bubble) and replying to Bowman as well. (I guess the lack of defence for us was also due to the holidays time, or no one want to mess up with those guys, I have no idea...).

One remark additionally: The drama might no stay on LinkedIn, there might be a next chapter. But I am not yet supposed to talk about it. I will let you know.

All I can say: we must have made them very nervous, since lawmakers in Germany and UK are questioning the contracts. It is possible that authorities are hesitating to sign new contracts. So we have triggered something that they are starting this PR campaign against us (I don't remember another media company being mentioned on their blog).

I am not 100 % sure Switzerland will keep saying NO, there are massive lobbying efforts and influence operation going on here as well.

And it is actually the exception (saying NO to a US company) not the rule: looking at F35 jets, Microsoft Cloud and other US Technology Cloud saving and processing lots and lots of of sensitive military data and personal data of citizens of Switzerland.

We will continue our reporting on . Thank you again for making this attack visible to a larger community on Mastodon.

“- Much of Palantir’s work uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for surveillance, weapons and warfare for the West and its allies.

- Palantir has an office in Israel and has officially partnered with the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) to support the ongoing war on Gaza through the use of its technology”

新年の撮り初め……もとい運試しです。
霧ヶ峰高原にて
ダイヤモンドダストの撮影に行ってました。たぶん成功してる？
正直今回の条件では出現しないんじゃないかと半分諦めモードで来ていたので来た甲斐がありました。​:kansyaa2:​
ダイヤモンドダストの条件は、
・晴れ（厳密には強い光が自分のところまで差してくれる環境）
・気温−10℃以下
・ほぼ無風であること
・高い湿度（たぶんこれが一番重要、90％以上あると見れる可能性が高いらしい）
これらが大まかな条件みたいですよ。北海道はそこそこ出現するみたいです。​:doumin:​は​:chance__i:​​:kumapu_cold:​

今回の撮影ではサンピラーの出現は確認できなかったので、次回以降はこの現象の撮影を目標にするとしましょう。
寒さには気を付けよう​:exclamation_sign:​（撮影時気温−13℃）

누군가에게 이 질문들은 단순한 사고실험이지만, 다른 누군가에게는 현실의 문제다. 프랑스 출신의 1986년생 만화가 겸 일러스트레이터 오드 메르미오에게도 그랬다. 이 이야기는 그가 2019년 출간한 ‘나의 임신중지 이야기’에 그려낸 스스로의 경험담이다. www.hani.co.kr/arti/culture...

원치 않는 임신, 여성들만의 일인가 [.txt]

원치 않는 임신, 여성들만의 일인가 [.txt]

원치 않는 임신을 안전하게 중지하려면 어떻게 해야 하나요? 당신은 3년간 동거하며 사귀던 남자친구와 막 헤어진 24살의 여성이다. 낮에는 카페에서 서빙을 하며 일러스트레이션 공부를 하고 있다. 이별 후 혼란스러운 시기, 평소 좋아하던 작가를 만나 작품 얘기를 주고받다

So happy with @vitest Browser Mode being stable! Migrated legacy Jest component tests that used jsdom, tested implementation details, and mocked web components. Now: reliable user-facing tests with getBy* locators, no mocking, running in a real browser. Tests what users actually see and do 🎉

You can probably use Firefox Sync on all of these. I just started using @librewolf@chaos.social, and it was available behind an about:config setting (look for fxaccounts, I believe).

And if you don't want to use Mozilla's servers, there may be third-party alternatives, and you'd just have to change the server address (also in about:config).

I even remember seeing a self-hosting option for Firefox Sync years ago. I don't know if it's still around.

This probably isn't the thread to argue this in, because the original post is important. And I'm going to admit that I'm one of the people who regularly posts long threads.

However, a user experience of a stream of brief thoughts is a very different experience from one of long and well crafted essays. People choose one or the other, and people who choose typically prefer short.

allows posts originally made on a server like , which allows long posts, to be copied to , which typically doesn't. That means that it's possible to inject occasional long posts into Mastodon feeds, and, provided they're important, that doesn't seem to me abusive.

If you did it too often with trivial posts, you'd probably get widely muted, or blocked, and that's OK too.

👀 -> 👁️

Refreshing ✨ insightful sparkle to ones who practice Social experience design, is that from a software development point of view methodology offers a change to the common sentiment seen in that "You only count once you started coding" and related culture.

Often its rather foolish to start coding too quickly, and show-don't-tell leaves you 🙈 without good feedback.

🪙🪙 SX grows from sticky notes.
