Torry is fighting back: our friends have received legal advice that the land comprising St Fittick’s Park and surrounding wetlands is held as part of the historic Lands of Torry Trust for the benefit of ‘education’ and the ‘poor’.

This means that Aberdeen City Council may not be within their rights to use the land for commercial property. Hopefully the threat of legal action spooks the spineless council enough to delay the destruction of the park. (3/4)

@cstross You couldn't program it out-of-the-box. There was no expansion port for experimenting with hardware. It was an appliance, and you weren't supposed to modify it yourself or program it yourself or experiment with it yourself.

The Mac led the way to killing the home computer revolution, and everyone else eagerly followed.

@jonesmurphy @neilk @cstross tech empires were built on tollbooths to the commons, over and over again.

If anyone deserves that Nobel Peace Price is Greta Thunberg. Basically because she doesn't sell guns to Israel!

#Czechs learned nothing from 45 years living under #Russians.

Today they're choosing to do it all again.

While Europeans are readying to get into IKEA and Netflix on this fine Sunday morning, #Russians just murdered an entire family in #Lviv, 40 miles from the Polish border.

A 15 year old girl is among the victims.

If Europeans refuse to help with air defense, #Zelensky should just give the Russians safe passage into the EU. Let them enjoy.

#Czech people just crowdfunded a #flamingo missile #DANA1 worth 515000 € in two days!

You might wonder why is the missile called Dana. Let's explain and share the #story.

There once was a woman leading nuclear safety administration. As soon as #Russia invaded #Ukraine and attacked #nuclear power plants, people were worried about radioactive dangers from this #war.

This woman started doing simple, yet clear reports everyday stating "Situation with #radiation in Ukraine is normal" with few more words about what's going on there at this moment. With her really specific humor she always knew who is the bad guy and never was afraid of saying so. She also co-founded the #WeaponsToUkraine / #GiftForPutin initiative.

This woman - called Dana #Drábová - passed away 6th October this year and will be missed badly. Yet - thanks to her name and kindness of people from #Czechia we managed to raise such a ridiculous amount of money again to fight against oppression from Russian criminals.

She would be proud and so are we.

#KeepCalmAndCarryOn .. rest in peace

After 3.5 years on the current instance, I think I'm ready to move on. I've lost too many good contacts due to instance blocking.

Any recommendations where to go? I mostly post in English, but occasionally in Czech. I appreciate if the instance blocks spam and clearly abusive instances, but otherwise I'd like to rely on my judgment who to block.
