@szescstopni If over 2 million people from Ukraine were prisoners of war, what would be the reason to move them from Ukraine to Russia? They already control the regions in question; Donbass and Donetsk, if they wanted prisoners of war just let them stay there then.

@szescstopni Roughly 30% of the population in Ukraine are native Russian speakers, so it makes sense to me if they go to Russia as refugees.

@szescstopni UN uses inspections for their data, unlike mainstream media. Also, it would not make sense to pay the refugees if they were prisoners of war: "Over $71 mln paid to refugees from Ukraine and Donbass in Russia" tass.com/politics/1476695

@szescstopni Then it's not a "refugee" by definition, and would not be part of this data:
data.unhcr.org/en/situations/u

There are currently 2,852,395 refugees from Ukraine living in Russia according to the UN Refugee Agency, this is more Ukrainian refugees than any other country have accepted.

Let that sink in for a while...

@malwaretech Besides Mastodon, It's kind of interesting when this URL handling happens in a supposedly encrypted chat session.

A Strange Thing Happens to Wolves Infected by Infamous Mind-Altering Parasite : ScienceAlert

A study of 26 years' worth of wolf behavioral data, and an analysis of the blood of 229 wolves, has shown that infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii makes wolves 46 times more likely to become a pack leader.

@matthew_d_green I think a way forward is to not use centralized cryptocurrency exchanges at all, instead use the cryptocurrency directly as means of payment or independent traders for exchange (decentralized, as it was in the beginning of Bitcoin).

Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled:

# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi's Agenda

Sadly I wish it was clickbait.

You can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

@freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird Looks like the Mastodon CEO took the path of least resistance, by doing so he lost integrity. Perhaps it's better to ignore joinmastodon[.]org than to bother being listed on their site? Lacking integrity might mean they sell out in other ways as well, such as allowing government control, increase censorship, etc.

Good morning all. Would love to hear from people doing (and posting about) applied #cryptography out in the world. Yes, that includes cryptocurrencies as long as the work is interesting.
