QUITTER META
SANS TOUT ABANDONNER 💎
Après avoir posté sur Meta ces deux derniers jours, un truc est devenu clair.
Beaucoup de gens VOUDRAIENT laisser Facebook, Insta ou les deux. Mais une partie de leur vie est toujours liée à ces apps.
Donc quitter ne doit pas être un test de pureté. Il faut commencer quelque part : retire d’abord Facebook de ton téléphone, et ne l’utilise que sur ton ordinateur, quand tu en as véritablement besoin.
NE POSTE PLUS SUR META. ARRÊTE DE NOURRIR LA TIMELINE.
Déplace les conversations avec tes vrais amis vers l’e-mail, les textos, Signal, un appel, un compte Mastodon, ou ce qui marche pour toi en dehors de Meta.

Les migrations collectives, ça fonctionne aussi.
Un collectif dont je fais partie avait de nombreux échanges via Whatsapp.
J'ai toujours refusé d'utiliser ce canal, et je me retrouvais en retard sur pas mal d'infos.
En fait, j'étais pas le seul.
Cet été, au cours d'une réunion, la question a été évoquée, ça a paru évident à tout le monde qu'il fallait migrer sur Signal.
Ça s'est fait immédiatement, sans douleur

Good to hear. I realized, as you do, I am sure, that merely advertising the Fediverse is not going to cut it.
I personally started down the road of building the exodus gateway I propose. But I got knocked down, and thrown into the streets 3 years ago. The bank ( #WellsFargo ) will not let me access my own money, which I was going to use to host the exodus websites ( facebook2mastodon.org / twitter2mastodon.org ).
I am an experienced programmer, and could have finished implementing these sites in a week, working solo.
The German Green Party has access to the modest resources required to break people out of the billionaire jails. So my ask of you is, can you take up this cause and make it real? I would have loved to have claimed the credit for bringing the vision to fruition, though I am homeless in Tokyo at the moment, and struggling for daily survival. So I pass the torch to you and your party.

While the #Grünen might have resources, most of them are tied up in defensive battles right now. Germany currently faces a two-pronged propaganda attack from Russian-sponsored and American-sponsored fascists (not that there is much difference, these days), and while the fascists aren't running either the federal or any state-level governments yet, the latter might occur before the year is over.
And the Greens _are_ the primary political target of the fascists - that is to say, the fascists attack the Green Party more than any other parties (including attacks on party offices, although fortunately this was limited to property damage... so far).
I don't _think_ German political parties sponsor #FOSS projects directly, though others might know more about this than I do. Perhaps @netzbegruenung knows more.
However, if in government they can certainly provide public funding for such projects - I believe #Mastodon has accessed such funds in the past. And the Greens certainly are in favor of #FOSS projects and projects, which has become all the more important for #DigitalSovereignity these days. It has _not_ gone unnoticed how the USA has treated members of the #ICC , and the overreliance of Europe and Germany on US digital infrastructure is now seen as a major security risk.
Do Not Talk To Me About "AI"
I had some cards printed up.
These are unlikely to change any minds, but they will defintely shorten some incredibly tedious conversations at the bar.
Here's a PDF if you'd like some of your own.

@kingmoth The article discusses this: that’s a fundamental mistaking of what you are to Twitter when you post. You are not a combatant, you are fuel.
pendant tout l’été j’ai arrosé et chouchouté mon piment malgré la sécheresse et la canicule, mais maintenant que les piments sont mûrs et que je veux les faire sécher à l’air libre, il fait frais, humide, et il pleut.

“In the days ahead, you’ll hear some people argue that Canada has no choice. We cannot afford to lose U.S. market access.
The data says otherwise. Merchandise exports to the United States fell by roughly $30 billion in 2025 — and were almost entirely offset by a $29 billion increase everywhere else. Global Affairs Canada’s own accounting puts non-U.S. markets at 32.8 per cent of Canadian exports, the highest share in four decades. Canada is negotiating from a considerably stronger position than its posture suggests.”

Another take with the same data... Less "natural", I should probably aim for something in the middle 😅
tell me which one you prefer.
Because the last years have seen one brainless absurdity after another, the NFT craze feels longer than 5 years ago. I just checked values. The Dorsey NFT, sold in 2021 for $2.9mill, was worth $280 by 2022. From 2021-2025, sales lost 93% of their value. Now, "95% of NFT art has no value at all".
@Richard_Littler @futurebird Non-fundable tokens.
Nottinghamshire Police could target children for anti-social behaviour using their intrusive and discriminatory face-scanning tech.
We've joined Big Brother Watch and leading rights groups to tell the force to #StopFacialRecognition.
Live facial recognition puts ALL our rights and freedoms at risk.
Adding children – some as young as 11 years old – and subjecting them to biometric ID checks is unacceptable.

Bon, j'ai fini par faire une page sur mon Wiki concernant DeltaChat.
- avantages (pas de collecte de données, décentralisation, webxdc, etc.)
- comment il se compare à Signal.
- quelques précision techniques importantes (Google GCM, rétention des messages...)
https://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=deltachat
S'il y a des choses qui seraient pertinentes à ajouter dans le comparatif avec Signal, n'hésitez pas à signaler ! (haha)
@sebsauvage
Super excellent !
👍
Un détail que j'aime bien que tu n'as pas signalé : on peut à tout moment réinitialiser le lien de contact / QR code, si un casse pied a par hasard récupérer notre contact : comme ça il ne peut plus nous parler 😁
Histoire d'ajouter toujours plus de détails utiles :
Il y a une page wikipedia tu peux la compléter si le cœur t'en dit.😉
En tout cas merci pour tout ce travail !
Seeing beyond BMI: Estimating cardiometabolic risk with smartphone imagery

Little One's Japanese grandparents want to take them to a Sea World park in Japan to see orca, because kiddo is currently a huge fan of killer whales.
I of course have huge conflict with orca in captivity, and worse yet when they're made to perform 5 or 6 times a day, and kept in tanks too small for them and with no regard of their welfare.
So I opposed the invite.
I get the grandparents invite LO out of love and kindness, and kiddo is excited because up close orca. But it's cruel and sad to support this industry that basically tortures these gorgeous creatures.
Am I too radical for saying we should not go?
Not a great feeling to rain on their parade.
I would much rather do a whale watching tour and see them in the wild (even with no guarantee of finding them)
