Out of interest in terms of being vulnerable, is there the risk level the same if using windows, mac or Linux on the desktop?
We have Golden delicious in the UK.
The fact that Russians were charged with treason for helping the US investigate cybercrimes almost suggests that these offences were Russian state sponsored.

So, since JoinMastodon.org has decided to change the way servers are listed on their website — showing preference for large servers who do not have a manual review process to join —>
May I ask that you help us spread the word that people can join us at https://mstdn.games ? 
We’re an all-inclusive #gaming community and our Local feed is amazing — absolutely the go-to place for all things #Games. Our Mods are top tier.

I think oxfam sums this up with something like 5 percent of the worlds population has 95 percent of the wealth.
So how do we encourage people to dump their normal social media and set up here. how do we wean people off Microsoft, teams, google, zoom etc.
The alternatives are there, just need to let people know about em. and they are worth switching to.

That looks weird, very different to the rings around Saturn / Neptune.

Planetary scientists are puzzled by the presence of a ring around a distant #KuiperBelt object. Scientists reported this week the discovery of the ring around #Quaoar, an object a little less than half the diameter of #Pluto orbiting beyond #Neptune. The ring appears to be uneven, varying in width from a few kilometers to a few hundred kilometers.

Angry protesters gather outside school in fury at vicious 'racist attack' on 15-year-old black girl.
+1 to sacking the teachers for not stepping, in however, if teachers try to intervene they them selves risk being accused of assault.
We need better balances.

Anyway, now that a ton of journalists are flocking back to Mastodon... you should read my article about how all your articles about Mastodon "slumping" were bullshit. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/08/lazy-reporters-claiming-fediverse-is-slumping-despite-massive-increase-in-usage/

OLD THREAD REPOST: A brief history of the practice of "sex verification" in sport.
This thread will mention anti-intersex discrimination, FGM practices and body shaming.
The story of sex verification in sport begins with the original Olympic games in Ancient Greece. Let us take you back to around 400BC, and a woman named Kallipateira...

Everyone makes mistakes at some time or other. What sets groups apart is those who own up and admit it, vs those who try and cover it up. People want open and honesty, that can lead to forgiveness if it was a genuine error of judgement. Try and hide anything and people will suspect you are hiding a whole lot more.

Just being falsely arrested will likely cause you to lose your job, and can prevent you from applying for a new one.
The mother of your child will likely need to apply for public assistance while you are locked up. The state will give her financial assistance... and then bill you.😮
You will rack up debt to the state *while you are in jail!*. You will be in "child support arrears."
