We’re seeing a substantial increase on the Mastodon instance I help moderate too, but there’s no aggregate marketing department at Mastodon so we don’t get any headlines.

they thought the world was flat

That’s in fact a myth.

You want Matrix. Synapse if you intend to host for others, Conduit if you just want to host for yourself. There are quite a few different clients but I do indeed use ElementX on mobile.

I think this would be a good time for you to study the subject you intend to discuss.

In February 2015, Russia and Ukraine signed the Minsk II agreements

Beginning in 2021, there was a massive Russian military buildup near Ukraine’s borders, including within neighbouring Belarus. Russian officials repeatedly denied plans to attack Ukraine.

So if Russia and Ukraine instead sign a peace deal with borders similar to where they are now, and Russia doesn’t invade the rest of europe and Georgia, will you do any introspection?

In 2014 Russia invaded Crimea and the easternmost part of Ukraine. Then said the had absolutely no intention of expanding.

Cue 2022.

At which point did you do your introspection?

This is surely more about packaging of apps on top of something that exists rather than creating something new. A huge bonus would however be a way to pay open source developers working on the tools deemed necessary to include in such a distribution.

At least four cars had switched to full wets at the time.

I don’t get the Safety Car for “teams are on the wrong tires”. Some had already switched to full wets. Surely this should be up to the teams to screw up instead of relying on the organizers to save them staying out on inters.

It’s difficult to root for Norris to catch up to Verstappen when he’s clearly not up to the task in all conditions.

conspiracy hat on: Red Bull is surely right that other teams are cheating with water in the tires. Look what happens when it’s wet so they have no use for it.

… just kidding. Maybe.

Tesla and X no one really cares about. SpaceX could get nationalized (!!!) though. Musk being cozy with Putin is already a problem for the US.

Shops in Sweden very often state that they don’t accept cash - and it’s perfectly legal for them to make that choice.

We have cash?

Haven’t used it for years.

Troll comment.

You do that - you die.

Please show me that guideline, anywhere.

Swede here. Before we imported potatoes in the late 1700s all we had were beets. Just beets. Beets everywhere.

What did you expect.

It’s so sad considering they just now managed to bring out the best EV on the market (ID.7) - and will refresh the older range to the same standard.

Ex global Head of Software here:

No.

Climate change is not a risk to human survival. Please study the WG2 parts for the possible risks we’re facing depending on when and how much action we take.

You’re correct in that large parts of Russia don’t have indoor toilets and proper sanitation. Not sure that’s a positive.

Maybe you should read the IPCC reports?

Tell me more about the US government requiring their soldiers to rape pre-teen girls then.

Or, you know, they really aren’t the same.
