There is now a rich capitalists compound protected by moot in Death by Scrolling. They have a ranged weapon call "greed" that takes gold from you. If you manage to kill them they drop 1000 gold bags.

#Russian historian Irina #Scherbakowa thinks that #Trump wants to sell #Ukraine to #Putin. (Source: https://orf.at/stories/3389357/ in German)

So far, her arguments do reflect Trump's actions quite well. He's not demanding anything from Putin but he puts much pressure on #Selensky.

So yes, this deal would make him even more rich at the cost of much human sacrifice.

And this is even independent from the question whether or not Tump is a Russian spy with the name #Krasnov which is not confirmed yet: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/03/13/fact-checking-online-claims-that-donald-trump-was-recruited-by-the-kgb-as-krasnov

One wonders if EMAS* ever audited their own use of Microsoft software and consequentially Microsoft's significant deleterious impact on society by monopoly, planned obsolescence, massive tax evasion, et cetera.

Moral of the story: use Linux, LibreOffice, etc.

I don't know you, but if I were a customer for that product, I'd most probably start migration projects today.

#Trump has White House studying cost of #Greenland takeover

The WH is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal govt to control Greenland as a territory, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn Trump’s [#delusional, unsolicited & unwelcome] desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable #policy.

Well, well, well, the chickens coming home to roost. Me and some other librarians (incl. celebrity ones) have been saying this for years. Publishers act as if the money will never run out, but meet goose and golden egg.

Help too if scholars and faculty stopped obsessing over high end journals and #PublishOrPerish. You helped enable this.

Fifth-generation farmers fighting to save their land
The Byrne family in western Victoria refuses to surrender their farm to a US-backed mineral sands mining company. They want to keep farming and pass their land on to future generations—but under Australian law, their options are limited.
Experts say landowners who resist approved mines face long, expensive legal battles with little chance of success. Is this what fair land rights look like?

So, #Twitter lost $12B in value in a few months. An ordinary human (a humane one) could use $12B to do a lot of good to humanity.

Once again, we do not have an #abundance problem, we have a #greed problem.

As a tax payer in the #USA I sincerely believe we will find peace and security far sooner by funding #vaccines than the #Israeli #warmachine.

Well...we will never find it the latter way but you all know what I meant.
