🇫🇷 France will provide 650 million euros to support infrastructure projects in Ukraine.

🇺🇸 The US should not put a stick in Ukraine's wheels and decide how they use US weapons. I do not support Biden's decision on various restrictions, - Mike Johnson

⚡️ Scholz: Ukraine can use German weapons to strike targets in Russia, but the decision on Taurus requires discussions with allies.

🚀 US do not allow Ukraine to strike 320 km deep into Russia with American weapons, on Moscow or the Kremlin, — Biden.

siem,

@MAKS23 so 319km is the max. Still large range I guess.

I've always been very much in favour of UX and a11y over DX but, if you don't provide good DX, developers can produce some truly horrible UX and a11y. Can't win.

Oh, today is my 8th anniversary of working on Mastodon. I was 23 when I started, finishing my last year of university, still living at my parent's place. I had no idea what I was getting myself into or that it would consume the next 8 years of my life almost completely.

siem,

@Gargron Thanks! Your work and others working on Mastodon is much appreciated and will not be forgotten!

Hoe waarschijnlijk is een "politieke actie" van de burgemeester van Amsterdam verantwoordelijk voor openbare orde en veiligheid , bij deze ceremonie, gezien alle gevoeligheden ? Echt vrijwel nul. Maar toch even suggereren.

siem,

@ErikJonker Suggestieve drek is toch zijn bread and butter no?

Reddit, an unprofitable social media site which lost $90M last year and may IPO at $5B despite being valued at $10B at its last funding round, has paid its CEO in stock worth $193M.

This is more than Tim Cook and Satya Nadella got paid in 2023 combined.

siem,

@carnage4life Smart CEO

@nf3xn @carnage4life No idea tbh. Was not aware the Reddit CEO was a pedohile either.

Wat een mietje ook die . Wel mensen koelbloedig execturen, maar je straf van 20 jaar proberen te ontlopen. Echt wat een seniele softie zeg.

a EU citizen's initiative to tax the rich more so that we can take more action against global warming and social inequalities.

It currently has 100k+ total votes, but we need a lot more to make it work. France already has 130% of the needed votes (76k out of 55k), but e.g the netherlands only 2% (400 out of 20k).

I just voted as dutch citizen, but if you know anyone that would also be interested in this, please do refer them to the website!

siem,

@anthropy Done!

Finally! The EU has found a legal way of supporting Ukraine, circumventing the Hungarian blockade, using special rules introduced under the pandemic.

This means an end to the veto blockade from Putin's Hungarian helper, Victor Orbán.

siem,

@accretionist @zout @randahl left right is an antiquated term from the seventies. If we keep using antiquated terminology it's very hard to define the divide The Netherlands currently is in.

One of the more limiting things about Signal is you have to give out your mobile number to everyone. Even if it is a burner, I still don't want to advertise to the world that it's mine.

Was happy to read today that Signal is now beta testing a new username feature.

siem,

@briankrebs Does this mean I am able to run multiple 'instances' so I can split private comms from business comms and well essentially ditch for my business?
