18 hours agoI’m in Mexico, and on those occasions I listen to Spotify with ads, for the first time I’m hearing ads in English from universities in Canada wanting to attract students from Mexico to do masters and PhDs there.

“Boelter helped lead the private security firm Praetorian Guard Security Services”. Frankly, anyone who names a “security” company after the Praetorian Guard should be preemptively arrested.

Web site still up at time of writing.
Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world’s largest food company based in Switzerland and the world’s largest convenience retailer based in Japan.
Yeah, so he’s saying he worked at a 7-11?

Especially as the people who believe in “pizza place basements” are now running the show.

Playing up one of the talking points Putin uses to scare people away from supporting Ukraine? Gabbard , of all people?!?
This is my shocked face. :-|

While studying informatics at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, Poland,
Strange, it works for me. So I’ve pasted it into the OP if you still want to read it.
Basically, use of proprietary software and services was demanded at all levels (doing tasks, submitting assignments, attending online classes, completing forms etc), especially as the pandemic picked up. Lecturers would often refuse or not even respond to his requests to use free alternatives, and some would count his not being in a Zoom or Skype meeting as an absence.
Yeah, I can’t swear I would have held firm through that he went through.

Good to hear devs are working on it.
Thanks for the info.
In the meantime, I opened a new tab, input my instance, waited for the home page to load, searched for ‘elena rossini’, compared the top two results (her channels?), went with one, looked at its list of videos and saw that it didn’t include the video in question, went back, chose the other account and discovered it has zero videos.
???
Saw your reply, tried new search: “Introducing the Fediverse”… 471 results with hers not visible among the top results. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Looked again at your reply, copied that video link that you originally gave and searched… and it works! (Although… how did you get it? I can’t see it anywhere else.) Finally I can upvote it. Sheesh!
Also, tried searching for “fedifuture@videos.elenarossini.com”
- a search term that I think you can only find if you have already found the video? Catch-22?
- finds the right channel (which is neither of the ones found in my original search)… but no videos… not even the one it just found when searching for that URL. Same when I’m on the page of the video on my instance ( https://peertube.wtf/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN ) and click on its channel name… no videos.
???
So, there’s a chance of me being able to eventually interact with the video… if someone else somehow finds an underlying URL and helpfully gives it to me and I then copy and paste it into my instance’s search bar.
Meanwhile with content on every non-fediverse social network, it just takes one click to reach and interact with it (comment, upvote etc).
A social network system that breaks the basic building block of the web, the link, seems to be shooting itself in the foot. I hope the fediverse comes up with a much more user-friendly solution soon.
I’m still new to the Fediverse; how do I view that link in my home instance of Peertube (peertube.wtf) so that I can save, upvote, comment etc?
Personally:
- https://freetubeapp.io/ (to watch)
- https://libredirect.github.io/ (to redirect YT links to FreeTube
211·8 days agoI’m fairly sure this is less “pro-Russia” and more “anti-large-new-devastated-member-causing-Poland-to-get-a-far-smaller-slice-of-the-EU-funds-pie”.
While Law & Justice’s [sic] tendencies overlap with Putin’s a lot, IIRC they’ve been consistently anti-Russia, especially as it’s a personal beef now since the party boss’s brother was killed in the Smolensk air disaster, which he seems to blame on Putin.
That day is closer than you think…
TFA:
Authorities have said the agents were looking for the Milford High School teenager’s father
Arrested Development wiki on the Milford School:
Children should be neither seen nor heard.
Every time the Milford school is mentioned in the show, there’s a shot of Milford alumnus Buster Bluth exercising the skill he learnt there of avoiding being seen.
I’m in the middle of an AD rewatch, noticed the school’s name and made a quick, crappy joke on that.
Obviously the situation is actually horrible for the kid in the article and in no way his fault.
“Oh, but he won’t do that to me .”
Should have paid more attention in school
