Meta is allegedly sharing Whatsapp data to the IDF... "Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group as a suspected militant. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?" I know I'm late to the party but didn't want to be guided by urgency: after quite a lot of reading, and exchanges with people here and there, I decided to defederate https://mapstodon.space from Threads. I hesitated for a long time because, beyond what Meta represents, it seemed crucial to me to keep the door open to all users, as opposed to the kind of "entre-soi" that is cultivated a little too often in the Fediverse. The revolution shouldn't just be for the happy few. (1/4) However, I now see the federation with Threads as having more negative than positive effects. I mostly agree with Arthur Perret's analysis in this post (in French, worth trying an automated translation) published in December: https://www.arthurperret.fr/blog/2023-12-16-faire-commun-2-etreindre-etendre-eteindre.html. Reading @organicmaps ideas for #GSoC 2024 is super exciting: satellite image support (fixing issue 618?), track recording, GeoJSON support, waterways routing, alternative routes, public transport support... 🤩 🤩 Let's hope there will be many candidates to work on these! https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/wiki/GSoC-2024-ideas https://mapstodon.space is approaching its first anniversary: the instance opened its doors on Nov. 4th, 2022! From hinc sunt dracones one year ago, the contours of our carto community seem quite mapped now as there are 1965 users registered. How cool is that 🎉 Should we try to make it 2000 in 15 days? We'll celebrate anyway, but the challenge is fun! Let's bring those bluebird latecomers over to the mammoth! 🐦🛤🐘

@jeremy @aral Good thing we have the International Criminal Court in Den Haag. This is exactly why it exists. Of course the USA doesn’t recognize it, because war crimes, etc. I wonder if they’d go so far as to protect regular citizens from prosecution.
