I’m not sure of what I’m talking about exactly, but I vaguely suspect that integrating with the fediverse will make some of their less ethical practices at tumbler too transparent and obvious.
But that is one part hunch and one part cynical belief, I don’t know of the details
It's your personal lifetime of experience saying "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck..."
Tumblr is a for profit company like many of their peers in the social media industry. They will latch onto anything of perceived value and suck it dry for their own gain then toss it aside when no longer useful to their profit margins
I am more surprised than I should be at how quickly the Fedi pitch went from "we want a future where everything is interoperable everywhere" to "we don't want any interaction with for profit companies".
I don't mind either way, it's all bad and I shouldn't be here in the first place, but... you know, it's weird seeing social patterns develop in real time.
Fedi is not homogeneus. Each server interacts with who it wants. You could say multiple fedis exist at the same time, and both pitches represent different people.
Yeah, well, don't tell them. The fields of Mastodon are still full of the debris of the Great Threads Arguments. Seemed to me everybody thought they had the correct and only Fedi.
I am more surprised than I should be at how quickly the Fedi pitch went from “we want a future where everything is interoperable everywhere” to “we don’t want any interaction with for profit companies”.
A non-zero number of these companies are opportunists looking to fediwash their profile (just like ecowashing, pridewashing and so forth.

Specifically, what is Tumblr really worth without all it's advertising and web controls to limit content viewing without forcing an account? (hello, Instagram) Adding bidirectional ActivityPub to Tumblr would basically render the site useless, who would subject themselves to that trash heap of a website when they could get the actual content from, say, a Lemmy instance? s/Tumblr/Reddit == samesame
For profit companies who have built walled gardens and wish to stay that way (reddit, tumblr, meta, linkedin, etc.) are at ethical odds with the ActivityPub world, insofar as people are trying vehemently to get away from these companies. But you'll notice for profit companies who are within the ideals of Fedipeople (for example Nitro, or Tuta, or Proton, or Mullvad) do not get griefed due to alignment of values and morals of the communities in question.
But the pitch wasn't "everything will be interoperable unless the company doesn't mean it or wants to make money or we aren't "morally aligned", whatever that means".
I don't understand how you can be a "walled garden" and still feature interoperability with a set of open source platforms under a pre-established set protocol. This is not an ethical problem or a problem of ideology, those two things are mutually exclusive.
This also sounds a whole lot like it disproves skrlet13's point on the heterogeneous Fedi where everything fits under different but overlapping bubbles. Seems to me you think Fedi has the one moral and ethical position on this.

Europe's AI #gigafactory push attracts 76 bids, EU tech chief says
"Seventy-six companies have bid to develop Europe's artificial intelligence gigafactories, the EU's tech chief said on Monday, hailing a bigger than expected response to the bloc's push to catch up with the U.S. and China in this key #technology.
The #European Commission made the announcement four months after it allocated 20 billion euros ($23 billion) in EU funding for the construction of four AI gigafactories across the bloc.
Such facilities, in essence large-scale AI computing and data storage hubs, will be equipped with about 100,000 state-of-the-art AI chips.
"We got 76 submissions proposing to set up #AI gigafactories in 16 member states and across 60 different sites," EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen told a press conference.
"And this exceeds far beyond our expectations and this showcases Europe's growing momentum and enthusiasm for innovating in AI in Europe," she said, declining to name the companies because of business confidentiality information."
French politician, leader of the Patriots Party Florian Philippot noted the reduction of medical support in France against the background of ongoing assistance to Ukraine. “While new billions are being allocated (to Vladimir.

When I first wrote of my personal side effects of Lipitor, my words were focused purely on transient global amnesia ( TGA ). Later it was about myopathy and neuropathy.
In his lab, Gerona ran tests on the decades-old drugs, including some now defunct brands such as the diet pills Obocell (once pitched to doctors with a portly figurine called "Mr. Obocell") and Bamadex. Overall, the bottles contained 14 different compounds, including antihistamines, pain relievers and stimulants. All the drugs tested were in their original sealed containers.
The findings surprised both researchers: A dozen of the 14 compounds were still as potent as they were when they were manufactured, some at almost 100 percent of their labeled concentrations.

What kind of negotiations could be held after violations of the previous agreements? "Of the #prisoners released during the #ceasefire in November, eight are back behind bars. One is Obeida Hammad, who served 17 months of administrative detention without charge before being released, but was then rearrested by the Israeli army three weeks ago in a 4am raid on his home in Silwad. Badriya Hammad, the 19-year-old’s mother, said her son had not been involved in any illegal activities since his release and he had dreaded going back to prison, where he had endured harsh conditions." It's simple: "Partly as a consequence of the new detentions, negotiators are demanding guarantees that any freed prisoners will not be put straight back in jail, the #Palestinian officials said."

The Israeli chapter of Physicians for #HumanRights detailed at least 10 deaths in detention since October, including five where their doctors attended the autopsies. ... “Sometimes the guards would throw tear gas inside the cells, or fire rubber bullets at close range.

Many of the detainees had infected wounds that were not being properly treated.” He added: “The floor is very dirty, and it smells so bad that we were forced to wear face masks. You could hear sometimes the sound of beating and them screaming, and [a] banging sound like against the metal wall.” The whistleblower said prisoners were given one cucumber, a few slices of bread and a cup of cheese, and that some of them were visibly malnourished. theguardian.com/world/article/…
#warcrimes #IsraelWarCrimes #IsraelTerroristState #Gaza_Genocide #genocide #prisoners #palestine #genocide #HumanRights Addameer, a Palestinian human rights organization, estimates that 54 Palestinians — the majority of them from Gaza — have died in Israeli prisons since October “due to torture, inhumane detention conditions, systematic abuse, and deliberate attacks.” One man, identified as Zaanin, said he was denied access to the bathroom and medical treatment and deprived of sleep. Another man told the news agency that his “hands were injured from electric torture” and that he witnessed “more than 30 prisoners with amputated legs, some with both legs missing, and some with both eyes missing.” Israeli Treatment Described by Freed #Gaza Detainees Violates International Law
Released Palestinians say they experienced torture behind bars, including frequent beatings and sleep deprivation.
On June 6, the New York Times published another story about Sde Teiman based on interviews with former detainees and Israeli military officers, doctors, and soldiers who worked at the prison, bringing new horrors to light about the treatment of Gazan #prisoners. Detainee testimonies repeated many of these same accounts but also included additional disturbing accounts of sexual violence, including testimonies of rape and forcing detainees to sit on metal sticks that caused anal bleeding and “unbearable pain.” Meanwhile, the families of #Palestinian detainees, both from #Gaza and the #WestBank, have been left to wonder about the fate of their loved ones for months on end as horror stories continue to trickle out of Israeli #prisons from those who are released, further feeding the anxieties of the families. #IsraelWarCrimes #IsraelTerroristState #Gaza_Genocide #genocide #warcrimes mondoweiss.net/2024/06/the-gen…

The Washington Post interviewed Palestinians prisoners and accessed details of autopsies to document three deaths in Israel's Megiddo #Prison One Palestinian inmate died with a ruptured spleen and broken ribs after being beaten by Israeli prison guards. Another met an excruciating end because a chronic condition went untreated. A third screamed for help for hours before dying.” The three prisoners are among at least 12 Palestinians from the #WestBank and Israel to die in Israeli jails since 7 October, according to Physicians for Human Rights #Israel (PHRI), whose members sat in on the autopsies. “Violence is pervasive,” Jessica Montell, executive director of the Israeli rights group HaMoked, told The Post. “It’s very overcrowded. Every prisoner that we’ve met with has lost 30 pounds.” Septic shock and respiratory failure following the beating were listed as potential causes of death.

“The total number of arrests stands at 10,000 in the West Bank and Jerusalem,” the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS), and Addameer Association for Human Rights said in a joint brief released Monday.
Since 7 October, 345 women and 700 children have been imprisoned in the occupied #WestBank and #Jerusalem, according to the brief.
It adds that 94 #journalists have been detained, 53 of who are still in custody.

Furthermore, Abbas noted that accusations of sexual assault are not limited to detainees in military custody but are also emerging from prisons across Israel. In July, PHRI sent a letter to the director of the Israel Prison Service (IPS) regarding the abuse occurring within Israeli prisons. The letter included 15 testimonies, one of which described a similar instance of sexual assault to the one alleged at Sde Teiman. PHRI has yet to receive a response from the IPS. Right-wing lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir, who currently heads the Ministry of National Security, oversees Israel’s prison system."

Israeli Prison Guards Filmed Abusing [#Palestinian] Detainees; #prison Service Says It's a 'Routine Exercise'
"#Israeli Prison Service personnel in the security wing of Megiddo Prison handcuffed and humiliated detainees on Friday morning, despite no unusual incident occurring in the prison.
"Photos and videos obtained by Haaretz show dozens of detainees lying on their stomachs while handcuffed, some without clothes, as a guard dog barks over their heads. The Prison Service described this as a 'routine exercise.'
"In numerous cases, detainees and prisoners in Megiddo prison have reported being subject to violence and severe abuse by prison guards, including kicking, punching, blows to the testicles and other forms of humiliation. Since the outbreak of the war, Palestinian detainees in the security wing, as well as those with Israeli citizenship, reported being beaten by guards and being forced to sing songs, often while in handcuffs, as a form of humiliation.

Israel has opened an underground #prison for detainees from #Hamas and #Hezbollah groups where they are denied access to sunlight, according to Israeli media cited by the Anadolu news agency.
According to the Israeli public broadcaster KAN, the facility, located in central #Israel, is designed to house “the most dangerous individuals” from Hamas’s elite forces and Hezbollah’s Radwan Unit.
“This is their natural place, underground,” far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the police, reportedly told KAN.
The broadcaster said some 75 detainees were currently being held at the underground prison.
“Even the small window in the ward has been sealed off for the detainees,” it added. Describing the conditions in the underground prison as harsh, KAN said detainees there are shackled and confined to their cells for 23 hours a day.

“The Prisoner’s Society confirms again that the occupation practices organized terrorism against the released prisoners and their families, through several methods that have been monitored, the most prominent of which are the severe beatings that the released prisoners were subjected to, and the threats that reached the point of killing if any reception party was organized or if the family showed any sign of reception.” qudsnen.co/graveyards-palestin… #repression #IsraelWarCrimes #IsraelTerroristState #HumanRights #abuse

He has been held under administrative detention (imprisonment without a trial or committing an offense) since 11 September, 2023.
With the death of Khaled, the number of #Palestinians killed in Israeli prisons has risen to at least 61, with at least 40 from #Gaza. He is the third Palestinian prisoner to be announced dead the past week.

An Israeli reserve soldier has exposed shocking abuses at the Sde Teiman detention camp in the Negev desert, describing it as a “sadistic torture site” where dozens of Palestinian detainees from Gaza died under brutal conditions.
The soldier described Sde Teiman as a place where “people enter alive and leave in body bags.” He said the death of detainees was no longer surprising. “The real surprise,” he added, “is if someone survives.”
He stated that Israeli authorities oversee systematic abuse. According to his account, #Palestinian detainees suffered starvation, untreated war wounds, and denial of basic hygiene needs. “Some urinated and defecated on themselves because they weren’t allowed to use the bathroom,” he said.

Three more #Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip have been announced dead in Israeli detention, raising the death toll to 69 since October 2023, prisoner rights organizations said on Thursday.
Their deaths were confirmed in responses sent by the Israeli military to Palestinian #humanrights organizations, which provided only the dates of death without further details regarding the circumstances of their deaths, WAFA reported.
...They stressed that the plight of Palestinian detainees from #Gaza has revealed “unprecedented levels of violence and atrocities,” including reports of torture, starvation, medical neglect, and sexual abuse.
The organizations accused Israel of carrying out systematic “slow killing” practices in its detention facilities, citing the spread of disease, such as scabies, as a method of torture and neglect. They stated that medical negligence, #torture, and starvation are central causes behind the rising death toll.
Holding Israel fully responsible for the deaths, the organizations renewed their call for an independent international investigation into the deaths of detainees and for the international community to take effective measures to hold Israeli leaders accountable. palestinechronicle.com/deadlie… @EndIsraeliApartheid @palestine @israel #prisons #detainees
