@info_activism they should move this to the fediverse, on their own instance perhaps so that they can share the campaign and also have more control to block those who abuse them for their campaign. At least we don't have a problem with pictures of nipples here generally.

World War I German military bicycle brought from Germany in Tanganyika, present day Tanzania, which was used by German's soldiers to engage British's soldiers in Kenya.

German machine still intact, I need something like this today.

@Greenpeace@newsbots.eu How much of this is caused by all the negative reporting in the news. Dure the situation is serious, but perhaps we need to promote some of the 'good' things that are happening too.

In a life of no smartphones, no alarms, no notifications, no reminders, no forced schedules but only letters, emails and regular phone calls - there, that's where i see myself five years from now.

End the madness.

Recently, there has been misinformation about #Mozilla's browser #Firefox claiming that a new feature called #FirefoxSuggest would send any address bar inputs to advertising companies by default.

This is not true.

In reality, all sponsored suggestions are given offline by default, meaning that no additional user data is sent anywhere. Online suggestions are strictly opt-in.

Please do not spread false information.
