"The only saving grace about Ukraine having allies like this is that Ukraine’s enemy is probably even more stupid." (Stefan Korshak)

Easy peasy, it took a few hours, but no issue whatsoever.

Ah ben on le connaît bien ici, Alain destexhe... Le dandy d'extrême droite sois disant défenseur de la liberté de haïr les étrangers. Il tente un come-back depuis 20 ans. Inaudible... Marrant qu'il essaye depuis la France maintenant

Europe again embraces unforced errors that help the wrong side. The pressure is not being put on the Hungarian government. It is being put on the Ukrainian government.

So let me get this right:

- Russia bombs the Druzhba pipeline that feeds oil to Hungary
- Hungary blames Ukraine and requests that it fixes said pipeline
- Ukraine says "ask Putin"
- Hungary detains Ukrainian 7 bank staff, seizes cash and gold
- EU pressures Ukraine, not Hungary

A must read

Dreaming of a Blue Texas Will economic progress turn Texas progressive?

interesting lessons to be learned from Texas outstanding economic growth : affordable housing and energy that draw in workers and then businesses — extensive growth driven by low costs, not higher productivity per person.

Europe again embraces unforced errors that help the wrong side. The pressure is not being put on the Hungarian government. It is being put on the Ukrainian government.

Europe again embraces unforced errors that help the wrong side.

it should go smoothly, no fear!

Putin is using Hungary to manipulate the EU from within.
How can the EU commission let that happen for so long? Stop hiding behind the argument that the treaties did not prepare for ejection - fix it! @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @kajakallas.bsky.social @hadjalahbib.bsky.social

Zelensky highlighting the moral and strategic poverty of the USA under Trump. In the last year Trump has ended all military aid for Ukraine, has undermined Ukrainian air defense, has tried to bully Ukraine in handing over territory, and has rolled out the red carpet for Putin.

@plyr.fm oops, got a 500 creating a new list (upon saving) plyr.fm/playlist/055...

For the last few days the President of the USA and the White House communications team have been active agents of Russian influence, spreading the Putin narrative and trying to undermine democracy.

The comments here are 😙👌

This is mad cool

Not quite ready to launch, but if you're a decentralized identity and/or AT proto nerd, you might want to take an early peek at this freeq.at

Back in 2001, working at @lab-au.com we came up with the word "meta-designer" to designate interactive art designers. None of us were native English speakers and were coming from the world of fine art, so I guess we totally missed that literature 😊

... and stop calling people "users". It makes us all sound like drug addicts :D

We need to structurally separate user data from applications so that applications become *users* of data rather than *containers* for it.

Iran War: Ignoring Lessons From Ukraine The wars in Ukraine and Iran are linked; the death of Iran's leader is not the news it might seem. Worse, US military planning visibly ignored key lessons from Ukraine - so Americans are dying.

Europeans must avoid being dragged into a US “Putin‑style” adventure and instead concentrate on ensuring a decisive Ukrainian victory before Moscow can exploit the chaos. (Andrew Tanner)

@plyr.fm it would be nice to see the total time of each track. I'm preparing a playlist for work

He sings quite beautifully, at least to my non-ukrainian ears !

...until they run out of missiles... I'm really not sure they prepared properly for a long fight.

"the other party still has power over you in numerous other ways." care to elaborate ?

inexperienced... but not inexperienced enough to start a war without first checking if it has enough kit!

Nope, was super fast. My PDS is eurosky.social

My goal was more to educate the OP on the specifics of atproto. OP could just say "use blacksky from now on" to its followers and the issue would be mitigated. Not ideal, of course, I wished there were more appviews, but hey, atproto is still at its infancy.

Indeed, always a good idea to backup (pdsmoover offers that feature).
As for your second point: the risk you describe is temporary: once your data are moved, party 1 has no more power over your data, since they're gone.
