❗️ A residential building was hit in #Kyiv.

This is one of the Top 10 most prolific contributors to the Python programming language. He contributed more code than any currently sitting Steering Committee member. His life is in danger. There is no "keeping politics out of programming", tech consists of real people.

In Den Haag. Hope to see Mr. Putin here soon.

It’s another morning in Ukraine and Russia still can’t advance in Kyiv 🇺🇦

⚡️EU shuts its airspace to all Russian-owned, Russian-registered, or Russian-controlled aircraft, President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen said on Twitter. “Including the private jets of oligarchs,” she wrote.

New road signs put up to steer invaders — all roads lead to The Hague.

⚡️According to the State Emergency Service, Russia killed more than 2,000 civilians since the full-scale war began on Feb. 24.

Ukraine says it will give Russian soldiers taken prisoner back to their mothers, literally. Russian mothers need to make it to the Ukrainian border -- and they will meet their sons in Kyiv. armyinform.com.ua/2022/03/02/ukr…

I wrote a short article about me & the war in Ukraine, and how everyone can help Ukraine batsov.com/articles/2022/… Слава України!

The latest poll: 93% of Ukrainians say they are sure Ukraine will defeat Russia in war. 98% call Russia a hostile power. As one can see, Putin is failing bitterly at trying to force Ukraine into surrendering via atrocities and his massive bombing campaign.

Very eager to move to #Mastodon. Revived my old mastodon.social/@abo_abo account. Does anyone know if there's a perceptible difference in responsiveness (e.g. home page load time) between different Mastodon instances? Should I migrate to a smaller instance?

Used movetodon.org to find the people I follow here on #Mastodon. 19/70 of the people I follow are already there! Thanks Bozhidar (Bug) Batsov for the pointer.

Let this sink in: Elon Musk hath decreed that all links to Mastodon should be flagged as malware. This is, of course, a baldfaced lie, and he knows it. So the CEO of Twitter is lying to everyone on Twitter, and to all its advertisers, even to all of his defenders.

Before and after Russian terror. Current casualty count in Dnipro: - 5 dead - 27 wounded - among the wounded are 6 children #Dnipro #Ukraine
