Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has said that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin will likely end the war against Ukraine only when he feels that he cannot win it, and it is dangerous to hope for any further agreements with Russia.
Lmmfao, yeah, because Putin really seems like the gracious loser type.. 🙄
Unless by "end of the war" this minister means going nuclear, because that's infinitely more likely than him accepting defeat in any way shape or form.
Like, seriously, how deep in the sand does ones head have to be to think otherwise?🤦♀️
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 very little relevant skill so I won't offer any help lol but it's good to see you around, glad to hear things are settling down for you a little.
Will this also migrate my blocked lists (instances, magazines, and users)?
If not, does anyone know of a similar tool that will?
I've been trying out other kbin/mbin instances since the recent issues with kbin.social's lack of federation, hoping to open an alt there for backup, but having to manually recreate my block lists isn't something I'm really wanting to do..
Ok, thanks. And thanks for making the tool in the first place!
I think for me, at least at the moment the frustration with kbin.social is still less than that of having to start over on a new instance, so I'll wait it out for now, and hopefully migration tools will continue evolving so it becomes less and less of a hassle as time goes on (I would gladly contribute if I had any relevant knowhow myself, unfortunately that's not the case).
Go through any and all available privacy and permissions settings and make sure you're not sending a bunch of info you don't want to be to xioami and google (and any app you download)
My comment had nothing to do with xioami being Chinese, a corporation is a corporation and they're all trying to collect as much of your data as possible, I guess you can let them if you want lol ¯*(ツ)*/¯
It's just the first thing I do with a new phone is make sure privacy is as tight as I can get it (without rooting since I'm not confident enough to do that), so that was my recommendation to you.. I also have an older xiaomi, and a newer honor (from after their split with huawei), neither are amazing but they do the same job for so much cheaper, I really can't see why people insist on spending thousands when you can spend hundreds for pretty much the same thing..

The person who wrote this and anyone else who still thinks that America is some bastion of freedom and morality and who find the mere idea of one touring Berlin in 1940 (they didn't only tour Berlin, but much much worse), or in Moscow 2024, shocking, really needs a history refresher.
Hitler wasn't only inspired by American genocide and race laws, but he had many friends all across the allied world, before, during and after the war (because Nazis never went away, they just learned to stay behind closed doors, often in the corridors of power).
Something like The U.S. and the Holocaust should be compulsory viewing, since we're not being allowed to learn from it, so are doomed to repeat it, as is happening already.
A serial comma (or Oxford comma) is an optional comma used before the last item in a list. For example, "bread, butter, and tax evasion" uses a serial comma, whereas "bread, butter and tax evasion" does not....
I tend to use it, but also Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? (or more seriously) So I don't really care or usually even notice if others do, since in 99% of cases you can understand from context what someone means, and if you still don't, you can ask (and have a little chuckle together at a possibly absurd result to the omission)..
The issues that started occurring on Sunday turned out to be more serious than anticipated, extending beyond the application code. We are still working on resolving them to ensure the proper functioning of the website, but we need some more time. Apologies for any inconvenience.
I always assume that repeat errors on the user end means significantly more to deal with on your end, but it's clear you're doing your best to keep everything going, so I try my best not to get frustrated lol
Hope you've managed to have some time to enjoy the holidays despite all of this!
I'm sure you're aware there has been an issue with people/bots spamming CP on some lemmy instances, I'm not sure if I happened to see them before removal, or if removal still isn't federating properly (since I know the admins/mods have been trying to implement additional solutions), either way, these posts were still showing up on all/new last night/early this morning (GMT), so it might just be worth double checking on your end if there is any way to stop this.
