Tango in Kyjiw - Einen Abend nicht an Krieg denken

Deutschlandfunk

As an aficionado of #tango #dance, music, and lyrics, and also a die-hard #Jabber user, I'm happy about this new #XMPP #standard of today:

XEP-0512: XMPP as Interpretive Dance

The Party Balancer

Ever wonder why the dance floor feels unbalanced even when the tickets were sold 50/50? I built a simulation to prove why. ??? The Party Balancer visualizes the math of dance. It shows how 'Double-Rolers' save the night and how strict gender roles mathematically guarantee people sit on the bench. Check out the math behind the magic: https://gemini.google.com/share/54e15f8cdb12

The Great Debate – Encuentro vs. Marathon (2026 Edition)
