Sehr schöner Kommentar, wie ahnungslos Friedrich „Don Quijote“ #Merz in der #Energiepolitik agiert🤦‍♂️

#Feenstaub statt #Windenergie ? Oh weia, hat er womöglich nicht nur bei Blackrock die „Details häufig nicht verstanden“?

Many people ask me why I have accounts on multiple diaspora* pods (I currently have seven). When the project launched in 2010, and then passed into community hands in 2012, I was heavily involved, primarily working on translating the interface. I was then absent for an extended period and am now (as I like to say) coming home.
The truth is, since diaspora* is a federated and decentralized network, each pod’s database grows from user interaction. The more interactions there are between users from different pods, the greater the reach of each published post.
I know it’s part of my obsession and my love for diaspora*, but it’s also a way to quietly improve the network.
So don’t worry if I follow you from multiple accounts.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2/1. How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?
I think my voice is well established; if I worry about anything it’s whether it always gets sufficiently inflected to fit different characters.

Der Wechsel auf Linux bringt viel neues auf einmal. Um diesen nachhaltig und erfolgreich zu gestalten, ist es eine Strategie zunächst die einzelnen Programme (Browser, Email, Passwörter, ...) unter dem jetzigen Betriebssystem zu nutzen. Nach wenigen Wochen Eingewöhnungszeit ist der Wechsel zu Linux nicht mehr so schwer, da du die einzelnen Programme schon kennst.

Switching to Linux brings a lot of new things at once. To make this change sustainable and successful, it is a good strategy to first use the individual programs (Browser, email, passwords, etc.) on your current operating system. After a few weeks of getting used to them, switching to Linux will no longer be so difficult, as you will already be familiar with the programs.

I updated the diaspora* interface translation to my native language: Spanish (Argentina). I'm still in the top 5 on the list of top translators. :)


Actualicé la traducción de la interfaz de diaspora* a mi idioma nativo, el español de Argentina. Todavía permanezco en el top 5 en la lista de mayores traductores. :)

One "tradwife" noted the outcome: “Stay home and raise your kids, and then at the end of it, you have nothing to show for it. No financial security, no retirement, nothing. I often wonder how much better off we’d have been if I’d gone to work sooner."

Pain of an unemployed person:

• You wake up late, but still feel tired
• Every day feels the same
• You apply for jobs daily, no replies
• Money feels tight all the time
• You feel guilty even while resting
• Confidence slowly goes down
• You start doubting yourself
• Skills are there, opportunity is not
• Nights are full of overthinking
• You feel stuck and helpless
• You are trying, but no one sees it

Being unemployed is not laziness.
It’s mental pressure no one understands 😔.

Beneš-Dekrete in der Slowakei: Enteignungen nach Ethnie wie 1945

Enteignungen aus ethnischen Gründen sind in Europa rechtswidrig. Doch in der Slowakei passiert genau das: Der Staat nimmt Angehörigen der ungarischen Minderheit Grundstücke weg - Grundlage ist ein Gesetz von 1945. Von M. Allweiss.
