It seems like this website has been spamming the fediverse with tons of sock puppet accounts, trying to get people to it’s ai slop site. I think several larger instances have blocked the URL

Edit: more info here

That is that shitty spam blog, isn’t it?

Ahh, I see, yes that makes more sense, using Belarus as patsy.

What is the plan here? Currently, putin is “only” fighting Ukraine and not doing so hot. Nato and europe had time to prepare and things like the Taurus missiles would be in play if putin attacks a member state, even if the us would nit intervene - which is at best a 50/50 chance with their leadership. China and India would also not love loosing Europe as market, even with the tarifs, and putin needs them both.

Also, so many young people died or lost limbs, plus probably a 90%+ PTSD rate of the survivors which will be untreated.

Putin killed generational economic potential even if the bodies might still be alive. Russia will take decades to recover, if it can at all.

Oh, I’ll take a look. Cool new RSS reader? Count me in

I secured a spot and will get it hopefully in fall. It might not replace my xperia 1 II, but i hope it will be hold enough.

It lost when they killed the groups. Xing had fairly active user groups with a lot of local influencers - in a positive sense, not the grifty one, people who could pull barcamps together and really fun networking events.

A lot of german people moved over to linkedin back then and interaction on xing dropped massivly.

It’s now owned by Hubert Burda Media.

A fediverse-based foursquare reboot would be cool

I support this. I also support the Farrage Clause if those jokers want to pull out again, making all work useleas. UK needs to be back with the EU.

No, Mars sold the brand to German company Katjes a few years ago.

Treets instead of M&Ms

I know and yes, i am aware of that. The have a blog online about it.

TL;dr: Stopping exports to Russia would have cost 150 to 200 Jobs in Germany and Austria.

They only sell there, don’t produce

Their solution is currently:

We donated the profits generated and realized in Russia in 2022 and 2023 to aid organizations active in Ukraine. In 2022, this amounted to around €1.51 million, and in 2023 to around €940,000. The donations went to: Humedica e.V., Help e.V., Ebersberger Förderverein Interplast e.V., and Osteuropahilfe der Landkreise Starnberg, Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen und München e.V.

Still good.

Facebook. You are describing facebook.

Not everyone wants to use or host everything.

Though small, plastic bottle caps and lids contribute significantly to Europe’s nearly 26 million tonnes of plastic waste generated yearly. Much of this waste becomes marine litter, with plastics making up approximately 80% of the debris in our oceans.

I know you don’t yet have oceans in Switzerland, but that bit of discomfort is worth it, imho. If you don’t like it, get a glass (hori or verti, your choice) or your trusty Sigg.

Yeah, not with these tech bros in charge. They have no interest in the truth or they would pay fact checkers and mods.

Wero can win if the banks offer it with no additional cost to stores and, and this ia crucial, it offers credit and the blocking of funds for stuff like car rentals.

It needs to be as easy a visa/MasterCard and cheaper / easier to run with the same features. I have hope, but that is a tough order.

Don’t trust him. Merz is and always has been a bullshitter. He is angling for votes.
