Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).

By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?

Thank you for your consideration

I bought my first Apricot PC about three years ago, when I realised I wanted an 8086-based computer. At the time, I knew nothing about it and simply bought it because it looked rad and the price was low. I had no idea that it was not IBM PC-compatible, and that there were very few programs available for it.

I have been on a quest to get a modern-ish word processor and spreadsheet program for it ever since. Which eventually made me "port" Windows 2 on it. In this post, I share the story of the port. Many photos inside!

I took a bunch of photos of Apricot PC running Windows 2, and I want to write a bit about the story behind this project. It's going to be 30+ photos and a few thousand words. The big question: where would you prefer to read it? What would be the easiest way to spread the word about it?

We have "growth hackers" but no "stability hackers." "Disruptors" but no "preservers." Our entire vocabulary is oriented toward the new. We have no language for the equally difficult work of keeping existing things from falling apart.

34 years ago today, the #SovietUnion officially ceased to exist. December 26, 1991

Apologies to #tankies (not really) but it was a very good thing

Not liking the #Soviet Union has nothing to do with loving #capitalism or loving the #West, it's about despising #imperialism

Anyone who has a problem with my sentiment:

Talk to someone who lived in #EasternEurope or under the Soviet umbrella

We must defeat #plutocracy in the West

The Soviet way is not the way

Happy #SovietUnionCollapseDay
