Dear Americans, you voted a guy into office whose Vice advises German politicians to work with the far right, because "will of the people" an so on.
I'm - again - sick to the core.

Ich bin auf eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz umgezogen und bisher wurden nur die Follower, die auch auf mastodon·social sind, übernommen. Ein Update von anderen Instanzen dauert wohl noch, aber wer den Prozess abkürzen mag: @marcus@social.marcus.io
Typo of the day: ski links instead of skip links ⛷️

@leogfischer@mastodon.social Aber die NYT ist auch nicht schlecht, so nennt sie seine Pläne, den Gazastreifen zu übernehmen nicht etwa völkerrechtswidrig, sondern "ambitioniert": https://mastodon.social/@GrimmReality@beige.party/113949261009836736
Edit: Inzwischen "unverfroren", was aber immer noch nicht "illegal" ist.
I have moved to my own Mastodon instance and so far only my followers who are also on mastodon·social have been transferred automatically. An update of other instances will probably take some time, but if you want to shorten the process: @marcus@social.marcus.io
In the advent of the #EAA, there are some explainers going around which have wrong info (and I don't blame the authors, we are all not lawyers and EU legislation is a beast):
- No, there is no transitional period for your websites until 2027
- No, the EAA (née Directive 2019/882) is not based on the Web Accessibility Directive (née Directive 2016/2102). The first is about a common EU market, the second one about the public sector of the EU member states.
I get the urge towards escapism in form of culture, games, shows, sports and all - especially now, but everything that's currently coming out of the US leaves a stale aftertaste in my mouth. It somehow feels like not wanting to see the reconstruction into an authoritarian system because people don't want to be "political".
