Is it possible or does it present difficulties with federation?...

Does Ukraine need to give up some land (Crimea) at the end? Or is there something else for Putin to save face like what (?) they did with Wagner?

I don’t understand how ActivityPub works that well and I haven’t used Threads so maybe I just doing get it....

If we for instance take, as an example, someone thoroughly explaining something which is clear to 99,9999% of the earths adult population don’t you think the remaining .0001% could come up with some? I get that this community is a place to allow people to ask questions they can’t or won’t ask elsewhere but I certainly feel...

A lot of movies, especially horror movies (I’m watching one now) depict blind people as not having pupils.
