Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova received a call during her Nov. 21 press briefing instructing her not to comment on the latest ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine.
Zakharova gave the briefing following a #Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of #Dnipro earlier that day, allegedly involving an intercontinental ballistic #missile (ICBM). If confirmed, it would mark the first use of an #ICBM in war, a weapon primarily designed for long-range #nuclear strikes.

The social media shakeout is happening, and I fear Mastodon isn't looking great…although that's from my narrow perspective on one dying instance.
https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2024/11/22/mastodon-flaws/
A while back, as Twitter lay dying and rotting, I went out and staked new accounts in other social media sites, gambling on which one, if any, would eventually succeed. One was Mastodon; I have an …Pharyngula
My free web host is going away, therefore this internet thing was a fad?
I had a half dozen email addresses and as many websites before I broke down and bought my own domain. Graduated from rutgers, quit IBM, stopped paying for flash.net, yahoo.com and sourceforge.net got weird... I don't see why mastodon is different, but you do you.
@landley "My free web host is going away, therefore this internet thing was a fad?"
That's such a gross misrepresentation of what I said that I find it offensive.
Thank you to all the people who made productive suggestions of alternative instances.

Former German Chancellor Angela #Merkel described Donald Trump as "fascinated by (Russian President Vladimir) Putin" and "by other #authoritarian leaders," with a "winner-or-loser mentality" in excerpts from her new memoir published by Die Zeit on Nov. 21.
"(Trump) saw everything from the point of view of a property developer, which is what he was before he came into politics. Every plot of land could only be sold once, and if he didn't get it, someone else would. That's how he saw the world," writes the former German politician in the book titled "Freedom: Memories 1954-2021."

"In the heart of Brazil, the lush green canopy veils both the stunning beauty of nature and the shadowy depths of exploitation. Here, an age-old conflict persists between those committed to protecting the land and water and those who profit from its destruction."
“Our connection to this land and water is not merely about survival—it’s a profound relationship with all beings. Being good stewards of this earth is an ancestral duty, deeply ingrained in our way of life."

Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to the Schengen area.
Removing internal controls at land borders is the last hurdle.
We welcome the positive outcome of informal discussions in Budapest today.
The @EUCouncil formal decision is next.
Let 2025 see Schengen become stronger.

Maybe it's the shit market that I'm applying to, but when I apply for a retail job, they want a fully filled out application (that auto fill always Borks, so I have to type everything in manually) as well as a cover sheet and some places want you to take a personality quiz that you have to pass for hr to even see your application. I couldn't imagine applying to 4 jobs a day, let alone 40.
I imagine we are talking about corporate postings where you just paste a link to LinkedIn and that does most of the work?

Republicans lied to you about Project 2025? Who could have predicted? What else have they been lying about?
Trump and his allies disavowed Project 2025 during the campaign. But now transition officials are utilizing its extensive personnel database for potential hires.Allan Smith (NBC News)
Dix ans. La Rafale tirait ses premières cartouches. Une année de WebIndé, nov.95-nov. 96, tout est possible, ça crache, et ça exulte. Et maintenant ? Trois mille six soixante cinq jours après, jour…davduf.net
On va également fêter les 30 ans de Globenet. On ne sais pas encore exactement sous quelle forme, mais on y réfléchi.
(Je n'étais pas présent à l'époque, trop jeune pour ça, mais on continue le mouvement ! Petite pensée au passage pour Lunar, qui nous a quitté récemment, et qui y est pour beaucoup dans ce qu'est devenu l'association)
It’s Friday again, and if you’re looking for great accounts to follow, here are some more of my favorites! 👏

Hausdurchsuchen und Überwachungsmaßnahmen: Der Staat geht zunehmend härter gegen die linke Szene vor. Was macht das mit den betroffenen Menschen und Strukturen?
It works for me, and I'm really hesitant to go into yet another billionare's toy.
Jack Dorsey is still there, haunting Bluesky.
Well, I hope we shall continue to see you here, too.
I see the problems that the Ocotodon maintainer mentions with Mastodon, but I don't agree that they should outweigh the problems with the alternatives.
In the end, there is a fundamental problem to solve here: Either we rely on individuals and community projects like this one, or we rely on investment capital, and they will enshittify the platform accordingly.
And if we are to take our clues from the Linux world: Yes, there are many abandoned distributions out there - but there are also some *incredibly* reliable and resilient ones out there that have lived for more than 30 years.
So I hope we'll still have you here in the Fediverse, but if not, thanks for your contributions here until now!

pluralistic.netI would miss seeing you here, but do what you need for you. I know you can port your Bluesky over to Mastodon, maybe look into that? Bluesky already has a majority ownership of a bitcoin company who also have Russian ties, so I'm not going to join there. But then, follower count means nothing to me, I'm happy with my diverse group I follow and interact when I desire. Mastodon suits me well.
I've followed you since the IIDB days, it's nice to know you are out there still. Hugs.
Also, come over to mastodon.coffee
I chose it purely because of the coffee bit in the url. It's run by @stux, who also runs mstn.social, a really big stable instance. .coffee is the niche instance, but it's not going anywhere.
