European leaders back #Zelenskyy after #Trump falsely calls him a “dictator.” Germany, France, the U.K. and Czech leaders reject the claim, noting Ukraine’s constitutional wartime measures

They warn against echoing kremlin propaganda and reaffirm Zelenskyy as Ukraine’s democratically elected leader

European leaders back Zelensky after Trump's accusations

"Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia's merciless war of aggression for almost three years... And it is simply wrong and dangerous to deny President Zelensky's democratic legitimacy," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on X.

the cost of speeding the production schedule for the new planes could be to compromise the president’s safety


Hmm... maybe this Trump guy's on to something after all... 🤔

A Frustrated Trump Wants His New Air Force One Planes Pronto

Among the ways being discussed to force faster delivery of two presidential planes are relaxing security clearances for Boeing workers and even purchasing a temporary luxury plane and retrofitting it.

I’m curious. This place has a very vocal anti-capitalist community, anytime moneys come up people shout about donations. When it comes to consent and Trust & Safety I’ve seen many people attack devs. Yet, when #Mastodon was asking for donations to fund a position it was largely crickets. #IFTAS has done great work and set out to be a great benefit to the #fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb yet they’re struggling to keep the lights on. How can that be? So many of you are always talking about donations so why are projects underfunded and servers shutting down due to lack of funding? Where are you passionate and vocal lot? wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas… about.iftas.org/

@woof @KatS you went way into association fallacy and are trying it on me now, and try to rely on activism purity to justify who gets to be good or bad. That's activism toxicity to its finest. Too bad for you, I'm not young or inexperimented enough in this to be swayed. I know my enemies and my allies. But you went too far for me to listen to you anymore. Goodbye.

#FediDB respecting robots.txt has really changed how stats are tabulated.

Prior to this change, there were 997 #Pleroma servers that were counted. Now the count has been reduced to 582.

With #WordPress, the difference is more stark. Prior to the change, there was over 9,000 WordPress servers counted. Now the count is at 3,578 servers.

To be sure, I’m not complaining – privacy is important. But it is to say that #ActivityPub user counts should have a big asterisk: many servers have opted out of being crawled. This means they are not being counted.

FediDB says there are 12,923,059 accounts across the #Fediverse. But this is actually drastically higher.

I was wondering how #mastodon would handle longer blog-style posts with images linked throughout made from #friendica. It seems like it just doesn't. I checked mastodon.social and mas.to and neither are aware of the post I made earlier even though notifier task has completed its notifying.

Kind of a bummer.

If anyone's been looking to get rid of American social media or just looking for a good Canadian Pixelfed server, pixelfed.ca just launched.

It's run by Fedecan, a registered Canadian non-profit.

They also run lemmy.ca and I can personally vouch for the team being both great admins and terrific people.

the fact the US President can call Zelensky a "Dictator" on the same day he calls himself King is.... wild.

Dear America, any time now... you should probably rise up against this guy. Right?

Like... fire in the streets kinda thing. Right?

You think Democracy and Freedom are important enough to risk your own safety... just like so many other countries in the world... RIGHT?

Update Signal and pay attention when joining groups:
wired.com/story/russia-signal-…

👉 No, Signal has not been compromised
👉 No, Signal encryption has not been broken
👉 No, there is no back-door in Signal

You should continue using Signal. The update is responding to a sophisticated, state-level attack targeting specific groups.

Unless you are a high-value target, you are almost certainly never going to see this in the wild.

If you know you are a high-value target, ask your support.

@chiclyde It is a win. My point is, humans are always the weakest link in the security chain. Most attacks I see these days start with ‘phishing attempt began…’

In my tech work I have watched people work very hard to circumvent security in tech. Usually from a place of ignorance.

Tech can only do so much.

Granted, as you said, ‘high value targets’ should consult their support staff, they exist to harden the human part of the security chain.

Good morning!!!

I've got coffee. I fed the crows. I rickrolled someone on Lemmy while laying in bed. The day's off to a good start. I'm ready to Fedi!

Sup?

Fun fact: the crows know the sound of my coffee maker. When they hear it they start peeking in the windows trying to get my attention. They might think it's the sound of a cat food maker.

Remember that the NAACP is calling for a massive boycott of Walmart, McDonald's and Meta because of their about face on DEI under pressure from the vague notions of the US president and his friends.

I would appreciate it you participated in this boycott too. It seems like it's pretty big.

(The NAACP has likely spoken with people at these organizations and found no common ground. They kind of hate calling for corporate boycotts so I can only imagine they go nowhere and were disgusted.)

Easily, readily. I *do* go to McDonald's about once every six months, but I can forego that. Walmart? Never go, nor Sam's Club. No facebook, no meta, no instagram.

As you say, generally, the NAACP is quite conservative about these things. The merit, then, is that when they *do* speak to it, we get a trusted source.
