Some media in Russia and Ukraine are distributing statements from Polish former minister of defence Antoni Macierewicz about alleged explosion on the Polish 🇵🇱 presidential Tu-154 in April 2010.
The only problem is that Macierewicz has been making these statements since 2010 and *never* produced any actual evidence.
He has been promising a "final report" to be published "very soon"... for the last three years.

Can you give examples on what you base your assessment of his nationalist views?
Regarding Navalny's alleged nationalist views - as if anyone in Russian gov was genuinely concerned by these... This is Dmitry Rogozin, current director of Roscosmos in a "we'll purge Moscow of garbage" anti-immigrant ad.
Teacher communities tend to be conservative, especially in Eastern Europe. This is really stupid. On the positive side, I guess now it will actually have way more views than if it nothing happened.

В русскоязычных группах в Словакии та же хрень!!!
Особенности национальных форумов в США
Англоязычный форум:
— Здравствуйте, где можно купить хороших яблок?
— В магазине «Трейдер Джос»
— А в «Лунардисе» сейчас акция на яблоки
Итальянский форум:
— Здравствуйте, где можно купить хороших яблок?
— В магазине «Трейдер Джос», он, конечно, держится не итальянцами, но там мой дядя работает, они очень хорошие яблоки привозят
— А в «Лунардисе» сейчас акция на яблоки, там мой кузен привозит им поставки из самой Сицилии возит
— А еще можно заказать он–лайн вот на этом сайте, там продаёт моя тётя, они с мужем выращивают здесь в Калифорнии, но точно так, как в Тоскане
Русскоязычный форум (выходцев из постсоветского пространста):
— Здравствуйте, где можно купить хороших яблок?
— А зачем вам яблоки?
— Не понимаю, зачем вам яблоки, когда полно отличных груш
— Яблоки! здесь вам не совок, бросайте свои привычки
— Боже, когда мы двадцать лет назад сюда приехали, ни о каких яблоках вообще не думали, и ничего, сейчас все хорошо, нормально живем
— Девочки, где ваша эмпатия? Ну хочет человек яблок, неужели нельзя просто сказать, где их купить?
— Мы просто высказываем свое мнение, не надо нам делать замечания, мы живем в свободной стране — Вот именно, в свободной стране человек имеет право знать, где можно купить яблок
— Не покупайте здесь яблоки, они некачественные
— О, начинается, если тут такие плохие яблоки ну и ехали бы назад.
— Вы сами что ли загуглить не можете? Вот лентяи!
— Ишь какой, хочет все на блюдечке! Я вот в свое время весь город оббегал, чтобы хорошие яблоки найти!
— Вы сюда яблоки жрать приехали что ли?
Stanford professor Jacobson, who is very vocal advocate of 100% renewable energy just published a paper with this graph ("correlation between wind energy output and building heat load in Texas").
There's actually an XKCD strip about this kind of statistics 😂

This shouldn't be the usual experience with cannabis and it's one of the reasons why I stopped touching anything sold in Europe.
Since 2000's the market was flooded with some varieties engineered (usually with mutation breeding) to increase content of THC and possibly other psychoactive substances, or even worse artificially spiced with all kinds of designer drugs, usually derivatives of amphetamine.

In other news, my Twitter account was hacked. For real! I don't really know how. My best guess is my old password from the times before password managers, which I forgot to change as I wasn't using Twitter for a few years, got leaked through some database breach. And no, I didn't have 2FA set up either.
Contacted Twitter support, waiting for reply… Meanwhile some shady characters are already offering to restore it for a "small fee" (they contacted my wife when she twitted about it.)

Do you know someone who has recently claimed #UniversalCredit (UK welfare benefit) or helped someone else to claim it?
I'm leading an 11-week project to try and make it easier for the 25% of people who currently fail to register for UC remotely.
We're just into the prototyping phase and so are looking for (remunerated) user testers.
DM me if you've got leads. Boosts appreciated.

> Starlink is targeting coverage in your area in mid to late 2021
If I'm going to get 6x current speed (and then 12x) at 2x price then I think I'm definitely am going to loo into it later this year 🤷
Bitches are keeping prices high because there's very little competition - plenty of broadband companies, but a single monopoly holds all cables...
@themactep@fosstodon.org
This is typical for Eastern Europe - Poland, Ukraine, Russia, anywhere I usually travel Internet is dirt cheap, both broadband and mobile, and very good LTE coverage. UK sucks in this aspect, it's very expensive and often crap quality.
Same applies to Internet banking by the way.

The great @k9mail mail app that ships in /e/OS is looking for funding to develop new features such as built-in autocrypt support!
Support them and get a better app!

Okay everybody, I have an idea. Since we are all limited in our range of movements and you probably cannot visit the city I live in, I offer to send you a physical postcard instead. How's that?
The largest problem I see is that you would have to DM me address information which requires some serious amount of trust so I don't know if that could work here on Fedi.
Is anyone on for a postcard from Berlin?
