Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has stated that Russian and Belarusian athletes will not be welcome at the Olympic Games to be held in the French capital this year.
They aren’t allowed at the opening ceremony but are still allowed to compete (not under their flags). Not good enough IMO. They should be completely barred.
I'm feeling a bit better. Starting today, I'll be returning to work as much as possible. This week will likely be spent catching up on tasks, replying to emails, reading overdue comments, etc. I also need to work with Piotr on instance infrastructure. I'll be more actively handling spam as well, but it's clear that we need...
I have worked with loobkoob as a moderator on Reddit, discord, etc. and I just want to say they have the temperament and reliability anyone would want in a moderator.
I stumbled across this comment while browsing and felt the need to endorse haha
I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case....
I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...
I like Organic Maps, but I am sometimes really surprised at the locations that are not on it that have been around in my city for several years. And I don’t live in a particularly small/unknown place. The routes can also be a little questionable at times, but I would say it works pretty well 90% of the time for me. Since I have small kids, I don’t depend on it if I’m at all questioning its ability to navigate me. But when I’m driving myself I pretty much use it exclusively.
I’ve been using Organic Maps for about six months now and I would say it is my go to for 80% of my trips. It’s pretty solid, but it definitely has limitations. One major thing you have to get use to is it doesn’t track traffic patterns at all, so you’re not always going to get the best routes and your trip estimates are generally off by a fair bit. I keep Apple Maps as my back up since I trust them slightly more than Google.
While I agree that is not a great look, as long as they aren’t selling my location data and such I don’t really care. I only use it to go from a specific point A to point B, not look things up/find things.
I mean in an inverse or parallel way. Just replace the names.
The “interview” is just cover.
My bet is Soros is vetting AOC for Biden’s running mate.
Once AOC kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Soros’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Soros’s plans), Soros will give the blessing for Biden to announce AOC as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from AOC (win or lose in ‘24)…
I’m not saying this never occurs. I studied russia/easten Europe for years and am very familiar with the kremlin’s history. Of course it happens. It’s one of their bread and butter tactics.
I’m saying that the string of events this person is theorizing is cut whole cloth from speculation. I think we can both acknowledge that.
Just because something “makes sense” doesn’t mean it’s true.
Former Fox News anchor and far-right commentator Tucker Carlson recently completed his speaking tour of Canada. Apparently, he wants to “liberate” us from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Carlson is now visiting Moscow to convene with the paragon of freedom and democracy himself: Russian President Vladimir Putin. The last few...

If kbin is going down for planned maintenance can the generic ‘ Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure…’ text at least be dated (kbin.social)
It’s impossible to tell if there is an actual server upgrade, or they have just gone down, displaying the message from last time.
