Right-wing #nationalism is a #bourgeois nationalism, and in our struggles against #capitalist austerity we must emphasize that our #enemy arrives in a limousine, and not on a boat.

The only thing worse than websites that auto-play videos are websites that auto-pause the video the second you switch tabs.

I wanted background noise, not separation anxiety 🙄

Fanpage enfatizza il “fallimento strategico della Russia”.

Adnkronos invece parla del rischio di cedimento delle difese ucraine: “Dopo 4 anni di guerra, l'Ucraina rischia di cedere in più punti. La difesa di Kiev, costretta a coprire un fronte che si estende per oltre 1100 km, fatica a opporsi ad ogni offensiva della Russia. Mancano i soldati per contrastare ogni azione del nemico”.

Sheep run through a paddock as bushfire smoke rises on nearby hills at Longwood, Victoria. Across the region houses were reduced to warped steel, with brick chimneys often the only thing left standing.

Okay Mozilla, I don't understand how your Firefox sync managed to sync almost everything but just not my bookmarks.

Where are the technical documents on how to identify root cause?

(They were stuck on the date where a profile was transferred over I am suspecting that is the problem. I could solve it with manual import but I can't be doing them manually every time that defeats the purpose of a syncing account)
