Some Russian idiots sneak into the Chernobyl reactor and swim in the waste water in the basement in an attempt to get into the main radioactive chamber... I wonder if these guys have cancer yet...

Our entire team is working hard to improve Tutanota. Some fixes can be done quickly like the one reported 5 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/sk9mnu/date_in_circle/ Some improvements take a bit longer: We are working on offline mode & we've got a working prototype! Yet, the data cashed is not yet encrypted. As we build the most secure email service, we need to make sure that this data is also encrypted before we can release offline mode. We trust that you agree with us & thank you for your patience and support! 🙏🙏😊

"Our country is now held together with goodwill and sticky tape. As successive Conservative governments have ripped up society with austerity, privatisation, Brexit and disaster capitalism, we survive because
frontline workers and volunteers go way beyond the call of duty."

I've been developing software for well over 25 years now, but spend at least half the day staring at my monitor without having the slightest idea what I'm actually doing here.

"If Meta is not given the option to transfer, store and process data from its European users on US-based servers, Facebook and Instagram may be shut down across Europe, the social media giants’ owner reportedly warned in its annual report."

Sounds great! 🙏🎉🙏🎉

#Winter #sunsets are often pale and literally lacking warmth but also figuratively so with subdued hues of #yellow. Here, there is also a darker #cloud in the foreground which partially masks the brighter clouds behind.

Ever since i had my spinal injury my doctor suggested i install a bar in my shower. Not sure how doing shots of liquor in the shower is going to help but in willing to give it a go.

The #brakes on my #bike had begun to feel worn a few days ago and I really didn’t feel safe travelling downhill if there was a junction up ahead. So of course I bought a new set of brakes and fitted them today. What a difference! I have full confidence again. Being my first #DIY brake fitting, I found it a bit fiddly with all the washers which had to go in the right order and then to align each pad to the wheel rim correctly.
