I kept reading birdsite to see news about Ukraine, but today I decided to purge folks I followed who are paying for reach on that site.

It was odd considering which accounts do so -- some clearly treat it as a business. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise.

But now I'm curious -- any suggestions for folks I can follow on other servers for news about Ukraine? I'm guessing there's not a critical mass, and I'll live without that, but I am curious.

This shouldn't need repeating, but covid sucks. Including the mild version.

I avoided it until about 2 weeks ago. Masks seem a small price to pay to reduce the frequency of infection.

1/ Russian convicts are being recruited directly by the Russian Ministry of Defence to fight in the war in Ukraine, but are being sent directly into assaults with little training or equipment. After 75 convicts went into one assault, only 11 reportedly survived. ⬇️

However bad my work day is, it's not 10+ hours of full downtime (and counting) bad. I feel sorry for the poor folks trying to build dd's infra back together.
