It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop. berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Was just having a chat with friends about how malevolent seagulls are, then I heard about some seagulls dropping A HUMAN HAND into a SCHOOL PLAYGROUND! They're off the rails, people.

We just watched Conclave. Oh my word! The cinematography was amazing, and the story was so good! Isabella Rossellini was a little surprise treat. It was funny telling @elliottucker.bsky.social about knowing cardinals etc, when after bapitsm he was brought up a totally non catholic kid

Not much astro lately, so I've been revisiting recent images I've made this composite of Jupiter and Mars to show relative sizes as seen through my Celestron scope Mars is rapidly decreasing in size and it will soon be difficult to make out detailed surface features 🔭

I’d want to be one of the leaders getting a hug and kiss from Macron on the steps of the Élysée, not just a handshake like a loser.

Do NOT get rid of your older Kindle devices if you want to backup your eBooks in the future with tools like Calibre. That will be the trick once Amazon prevent you from downloading the DRMd books from the site. (Tested on a gen 7 Kindle....working.) #drm #ebooks #kindle #amazon

I think Amazon may have been losing the de DRM war as this was the easiest way to get a purchased book that you OWN and remove DRM using tools. Backup books now as it will be a pain in the future. #drm #kindle #amazon www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
