le seul problème vraiment incontournable c'est l'impossibilité d'utiliser google pay (mais les cartes NFC non-paiement fonctionnent), et encore certaines banques qui proposent le paiement sans contact indépendamment permettent de s'en passer. (et puis c'est une gène minuscule anyway)

je n'ai aucun problème ni avec les apps de mes banques (en france et au canada), ni avec celle pour confirmer mon identité (identité numérique par la poste). "paria digitale" c'est extrêmement exagéré imo, d'après mon exp perso et mes recherches il y a très peu de problèmes et aucun insurmontable

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.
But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened.

Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other
stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.

Ed was in …

What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I'm sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, "Free Palestine" becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that's why this time it became so important to silence me.

And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.

I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed.
Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation.

When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there's a phrase in Arabic:
لا شكر على واجب
"La shukra ala wajeb." There is no thanks for a duty.
That stayed with me. Because that's what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human.

Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn't, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people be…

These wins are incredible!!! Minimum 4 weeks severance + 1 week for every 6 months employment, AND recall rights, AND hybrid work + AI protections, AND up to 34% wage increases! This would have been unthinkable before the industry started to unionize!

You were clear the first time around, I'm the one who wrote a botched & vague reply! I don't disagree w you on this, I just think the price is that we collectively, progressively lose the ability to perceive and reach the 'depth ceiling' (as opposed to your 'bottom-up'). But it's all hypotheticals.

I appreciate the thought though, I'm in the middle of writing a long-form thing about it to elaborate on all of it, but it seems things change every week so it's hard to push the publish button

I see, ty. My feeling is that AI has a negative effect on that 'level of depth' available across the entire field, for everyone using it, and progressively contaminates the medium as a whole.

out of curiosity, how do you apply/transpose that line of reasoning to music itself, where learning to play the guitar is (according to some) not necessary anymore to produce a guitar song?

4 milliardaires qui doublent leur fortune chaque semaine ce n'est pas une industrie qui se porte bien

robin 🫟 uvw-cwa @rbn.fyi · 05/09/2026

"l'industrie se porte bien" c'est quand même un bold statement quand un tiers des emplois a disparu, que toutes les sources de financement sont épuisées, que l'investissement est redirigé totalement vers l'IA, que le public a appris à ne plus dépenser un € ailleurs que sur 3 mastodontes...

@sfbtom.bsky.social @sfbdim.bsky.social Hey there! I'm finally playing The Mermaid Mask, after going back to the previous games. Love the series ❤️ I find that, on Switch 1, the portraits in the smaller dialogues are a bit blurry. Is this a known thing? hardware limitation? would it be better on PC?

ah yeah that's true! ty anyway it was a great post 🫡

excerpt: The boring language of assemblies. commitment. points of unity. motions and findings is the trite secret to all this. Coming together with real proposals and refining them together. and committing to specific actions to bring them to life. It may seem depressing because it's actual work.
