Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.

@notsoloud@expressional.social @anderspuck@krigskunst.social I tend to view the actions of both Biden and NATO over the past several months as ones that were designed to, for lack of a better term, make Ukraine more Trump-proof. Much of it at this point was simply funding and loans, but never underestimate the power of both, when it comes to industrializing the fight against Russia.

Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that. But the market has no money for development, the marketing tools have collapsed. Although both marketers and IT specialists are needed, there is no money. But everyone is hiding this."

Нынешний год для российского ИТ-рынка заканчивается увольнениями.

Thankfully, the old server has now come back online long enough for me to complete the migration.
As it turns out, you can migrate to an existing account that already has some follows/followers -- it will just add the ones from the old account.
For anyone else looking to migrate, I found this guide very useful: #Mastodon #AccountMigration

ChatGPT4 describes the image as: "The image appears to be a scene from a science fiction television show with four men dressed in futuristic or fantasy-style outfits. The setting looks like an outdoor location with greenery and a brick or stone wall in the background, suggesting a moment of action or tension. The men seem focused or alerted by something off-camera, and one of them is holding a weapon, which adds to the intensity of the scene. This context suggests they might be involved in a su…

I am so tired of people trying to shove AI down my throat that anytime anyone talks about AI or adopts anything using it or anything like that I will just go on a ten minute tangent about how massive companies suck and AI is not even remotely the future. You did this to me, OpenAI/Microsoft/Apple/<insert other massive company here>.
