@fgraver @RustyBertrand Can't see it on mobile apps. If you look at your profile / following, there's an option to see people that have moved their account. Just don't know where this is stored in your profile.
@fgraver @RustyBertrand I've seen in some profiles that the fedi somehow keeps a record if you've moved to a new account. I don't know if that's something manual but it's worth checking so your followers know you've moved. Seen it if I look at my followees list.
@Norobiik Really wierd. Whilst a lot of the equipment is standard across the world, each country/region has its own systems and software, including EPOS (or at least used to). And restaurant operations are something very different from corporate.
@Free_Press Seems illogical and smells like a false flag. Why would they attack civilians? They know the election is rigged so what's the motive here?

DHH is truly unhinged these days. I'll never be able to wrap my head around people who see diversity efforts as somehow worse than the naked authoritarianism creeping into every nook and cranny of government and capitalism in the 2020s. Sure, people can go overboard in accusing others of racial insensitivity or mansplaining or whatnot. But LOOK AROUND YOU, MAN. If you really think DEI is the thing that's wrong with the world in the year of our lord 2024, you're madly out of touch.
The Comics Grid: Call for Comics Studies Book Reviews (Spring 2024)
The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship is seeking contributions to its book reviews section.
What's that you say, a 4 hour documentary series on one of the greatest satires of 80's American culture? All wrapped up in one of the most quotable action #movies ever? Sticking my data spike straight in for Robodoc: Making of #Robocop https://youtu.be/lyBL9eINHO8
@mapto @Geri Fundamental to this was his threads/articles describing how Russia functions as mafia state, drawing on parallels with Mexican cartels. Tl;Dr: such organisations prefer extraction or farming because it doesn't require complexities of production, manufacturing and distribution... Which needs effective managers. Such people aren't motivated by violence, which is the mafia's only tool.
@Geri sanctions are only as effective as you make them.
Kamil Galeev has been very good at documenting this.
Unfortunately, he's on ex-twitter and substack only. Here's what I think is an acceptable way of reading him

I recommend him as a way to understand Ruskiy Mir. Goes without saying that he's to be read critically. Even though he's very informed historically and a good narrator, his way of thinking has its own Russian biases.
@mapto That method above, via threadreader app, was ok for the last article. I think that's based on a twitter user calling on the particular article.
If you happen to be in #London today and have a bit of time on your hands, go to London Bridge station and hear my friends and colleagues of the "Society of Women Organists" play on the Henry Jones #PipeOrgan there.
13 hours of #OrganMusic 🙂
I'm sure there will be works by #WomenComposers, too.
