Israeli forces intercepted a Gaza aid flotilla over 600 miles from the coast of Gaza on Wednesday night, abducting the crews of nearly two dozen boats in international waters near Greece.

According to the flotilla’s live tracker, 22 boats carrying 179 crew members were intercepted, and over 40 others are still sailing.

The latest flotilla effort, the Global Sumud Flotilla, includes more than 400 people from over 70 nations.

@robosam today i had lunch with a banker friend who i told about Microsoft itself declaring that SteamOS was currently a better Windows than Windows 11 for gaming, lol

i cannot tell you how much he hates windows, more than most people

unfortunately Excel is load bearing for his work and that still means windows >_< tho he bought Office 2019 standalone AI-free edition a few years ago

Haiti’s garment workers are making May Day mean what it’s supposed to mean: workers shutting shit down.

Bosses pay them 685 gourdes a day while gas is 850 gourdes a gallon. Some workers spend almost their entire wage just getting to work. Now the women workers at SONAPI are walking out, pushing past managers trying to lock them inside, and demanding a real wage, lower fuel prices, and an end to the violence wrecking their communities.

Solidarity with Batay Ouvriye and every worker in Haiti refusing to eat shit quietly.

Batay l’ap kontinye. The struggle continues.

The Supreme Court Is Corrupt. This Is What We Can Do About It. This is *excellent*; Jamelle Bouie makes his case for why the SC is corrupt and how to stop it (weaken the power of the court). https://kottke.org/26/05/the-supreme-court-is-corrupt-this-is-what-we-can-do-about-it

BTW in case you didn't notice, tomorrow at 1777777777 it's going to be 1777777777 epoch time.

Happy Fishy Friday everyone! Words cannot express how much I love this big goofball (and happy 12 years to my beautiful fiancée holding our very heavy cat).

Not sure the NHS in Scotland had the same setup, but will do.

@Edent

a great article by @thisismissem@hachyderm.io on going beyond binary approach to federation...
" > However, we've been presented with a false dichotomy here: we don't need to operate in a world where we either allow everything until blocked, or block everything until we allow it. There are other ways that we can look at federation management. Some of these include Consent Based Federation, where a moderator or administrator has to review and approve a server before accepting federation (or denying it), or models that resemble a firewall on a computer or server: you'd don't just have to accept or deny federation, but you can also apply filters to the federation between your server and another."

@christianschwaegerl Danke. Ich glaube, der Artikel ist heute nicht weniger aktuell, von 2-3 Zahlen vielleicht mal abgesehen. :(

Today I played the Tony Rivers bonus edition of 500 Songsl and was enlightened to this, "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" by Chris Farlowe. 200% over the top and delivers.
