✍️Il n’y a pas que le prΓ©sident #Poutine… Les plus hauts responsables russes πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί chantent la mΓͺme feuille de route.

● Si quelqu’un pense que Vladimir Poutine agit seul et que la politique russe est basΓ©e sur ses caprices personnels… qu'il se dΓ©trompe !

● Deux dΓ©clarations faites avant-hier – la premiΓ¨re par Dmitri #Medvedev, ancien prΓ©sident russe, et la seconde par le ministre des Affaires Γ©trangΓ¨res SergueΓ― #Lavrov – renforcent la thΓ¨se : les dirigeants russes sont unis dans leur vision des nΓ©gociations avec l' #Ukraine... et ne sont pas enclins Γ  faire des concessions.

● M. Medvedev a fait la dΓ©claration la plus importante lors de son discours du 20 mai 2025 au Forum juridique international de Saint-PΓ©tersbourg...

« L'Ukraine a une dernière chance de préserver ce qui reste de sa souveraineté. Si elle la perd, elle cessera d'exister en tant qu'État. La Russie n'aura d'autre choix que d'aller plus loin et de résoudre définitivement le problème ».

● Appelons ce mouvement Istanbul 3.

β€’ Lors des nΓ©gociations d’Istanbul en mars 2022 entre la Russie et l’Ukraine, les Russes ont acceptΓ© en principe de maintenir le Donbass au sein de l’Ukraine. C'Γ©tait Istanbul 1.0.

‒ En juin 2024, Poutine s'est entretenu avec de hauts responsables du ministère russe des Affaires étrangères et a présenté Istanbul 2.0, qui comprenait désormais #Donetsk, #Louhansk, #Zaporijia et #Kherson comme territoire russe, certifié par référendum en septembre 2022 dans chacun des quatre oblasts.

β€’ Avec sa dΓ©claration sur l’avenir #politique de l’Ukraine, Medvedev a prΓ©sentΓ© ce qui semble Γͺtre Istanbul 3.0.

● Medvedev a ensuite fait trois autres remarques critiques - Mise en garde contre le dΓ©ploiement de troupes Γ©trangΓ¨res.

β€’ Β« L'apparition des troupes de la soi-disant Β« coalition Β» en Ukraine sera considΓ©rΓ©e par la Russie comme une rΓ©cidive d'une menace militaire, avec toutes les consΓ©quences que cela comporte, y compris leur reconnaissance comme une cible militaire lΓ©gitime. Dans le mΓͺme temps, il est positif que les #Γ‰tats-Unis aient pris position sur cette question. J’espΓ¨re qu’avec l’aide d’États qui n’ont pas encore perdu un peu de bon sens, l’Occident collectif sera capable de freiner les impulsions de politiciens individuels, Γ©cervelΓ©s mais trΓ¨s combatifs Β».

β€’ Alerte catastrophe mondiale.

β€’β€’ Β« L’humanitΓ© est au bord d’une catastrophe mondiale Β», attribuant cette situation aux conflits armΓ©s en cours, aux affrontements entre puissances nuclΓ©aires et Γ  l’exacerbation des problΓ¨mes mondiaux chroniques.

β€’ La souverainetΓ© de l'Ukraine remise en question.

β€’β€’ Medvedev a dΓ©clarΓ© que l'Ukraine Γ©tait un Β« Γ‰tat en faillite Β» et a affirmΓ© qu'il n'y avait aucun responsable ukrainien ayant l'autoritΓ© de conclure un traitΓ© de paix avec la Russie, soulevant des doutes sur la souverainetΓ© de l'Ukraine et la lΓ©gitimitΓ© de ses dirigeants.

● Medvedev n'a pas Γ©tΓ© le seul Γ  esquisser l'avenir de l'Ukraine si elle rejetait l'offre de nΓ©gociations de la Russie. Il y a quelques jours, le Ministre des Affaires Γ©trangΓ¨res SergueΓ― #Lavrov a dΓ©clarΓ© ce qui suit dans un discours prononcΓ©.

Β« La Russie n'abandonnera pas le peuple orthodoxe d'Ukraine dans la dΓ©tresse et luttera pour restaurer les droits de l'Γ‰glise orthodoxe. Par la diplomatie et la force militaire, la Russie garantira la libertΓ© religieuse du peuple orthodoxe d'Ukraine Β».

Tool to install a linux distro in dual boot directly from Windows? Without live USB

I always hear that a normal computer user would never install an OS and that is the main reason Linux has not a higher market share. But I guess what we mean by that is that a user would never create a live usb, access the boot options and boot from there to install the new OS.

Is there a hard technical limitation when it comes to create a tool that installs a linux distro from a "normal" windows exe file, provided that the user first disables secure boot and fast boot (which are things a tool with admin privileges should also be able do on first run)?

Does such a tool already exist?

I feel like there's something I'm missing, forgive my ignorance

Installing dual boot over a default windows installation would be tricky, bordering on infeasible. Because you would need to shrink the windows partition live (which is not supported (and even if you could, requires free space and comes with meaningful risk of data loss)) and alter the UEFI boot entries, which is also very risky and engineered to be protected from unauthorised writes.

Plus windows on a dual boot-one disk system can constantly erase your Linux entries (thanks Microsoft), making it basically unusable every month without grub knowledge to restore the boot entry. So this setup won't work on many systems.

So you'll pretty much only ever be able to install to another disk. And the portion of non-savvy users with a spare, unused disk is going to be effectively nonexistent.

The end of free art. Everyone has probably noticed that these are sad times. I don't understand hip-hop, but a member of the Irish band Kneecap was charged with a terrorist offense for displaying a pro-Palestine flag.
It's not about how you feel about it. Do I have to be afraid now? Does every artist have to be afraid when they provoke? When they expose hypocrisy? Isn't that our job if we don't just want to make feel-good entertainment music?

The evil 1% deep state zionists want to hide the truth from everyone. If everyone joined together and told the truth it would be a waste of time censoring anyone because everyone would react. The important thing is unity but there are too many "sheeple" who believe the lies on the idiot box and mainstream media and they don't unite with those who are aware of the truth. Those who are aware of the truth should unite and wake up the"sheeple" and get everyone to unite against the evil satanic zionist liars who manipulate everyone and block our freedom!!

As a #Microsoft employee, you can't mention #Palestine, #Gaza or #genocide in internal emails anymore, because these are topics allegedly "not related to work" – an interesting statement to make, when you have contracts with the Israeli government, so the #IDF can run their "#AI" on your cloud that tells them where to drop the bombs in Gaza.

Β»Microsoft confirmed to The Verge that it has implemented some form of email changes to reduce β€œpolitically focused emails” inside the company.

β€œEmailing large numbers of employees about any topic not related to work is not appropriate. […]

The block of these terms comes in a week when current and former Microsoft employees have been protesting against the company’s contracts with the Israeli governmentΒ«

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an β€œinstance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Couples are sharing their experiences

Sex candy like 11oysters aphrodisiac candy is no longer a novelty tucked away on the back shelves of specialty shops. It’s now front and center in the conversation about modern intimacy. From flavored lubricants to melt-in-your-mouth treats designed for sensual play, edible foreplay is becoming a go-to for couples looking to spice things up in a fun, approachable way.

The Rise of Sensual Snacking
At the heart of the trend is the playful blend of indulgence and intimacy. Edible products like chocolate body paints, flavored massage oils, and kissable gummies allow partners to engage more senses during foreplay. Taste becomes a part of the experience, making intimacy feel more like an adventure than a routine.

Flavors That Tease

The act of feeding, licking, or applying something sweet becomes a lighthearted, intimate ritual.

The Social Media Factor

The openness helps reduce stigma and normalizes the use of edible products in the bedroom, especially for younger audiences exploring intimacy on their own terms.

Safety and Sensitivity

It’s important to choose items designed specifically for intimate use, with body-safe ingredients and pH-friendly formulas. Reading labels and choosing trusted brands helps ensure the experience is both pleasurable and safe.

Sweetening the Connection

Whether it’s a gummy ring or a flavored gel, sex candy offers a simple way to make intimacy more playful and personal. As more people embrace the idea of fun in the bedroom, it’s no surprise this trend is on the rise contact us.

#EU Sanctions Its Own Citizens For First Time Over Ukraine Reporting: This Is How #Bad Things Are:
EU foreign ministers on Tuesday agreed to the 17th sanctions package against Russia. The sanctions list added 17 individuals and 58 entities "responsible for actions that undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of #Ukraine". For the first time, sanctions have also been imposed on its own citizens. The 'pro-Russian' German journalists Alina Lipp and Thomas RΓΆper are accused of 'systematically spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine and thereby supporting #Russia'.
Freedom of speech is dead
The EU also accuses Lipp of having contact with Russian forces in eastern Ukraine as a #war correspondent and spreading "war propaganda". The journalists, who are reporting on the war in eastern Ukraine and live in Russia, have been banned from travelling and any assets they may have in Europe have been frozen. No money is allowed to be sent to them from the EU. β€œWhat are they worried about? I get an envelope from Putin every week, don’t I?” Lipp jokes.

For the first time, the EU is stopping its own citizens at the European border, Lipp writes on X . β€œFreedom of speech in β€˜free, democratic Europe’ is dead.”

Lipp takes legal action:

After Incorporation: Your Blueprint for a Solid Business Start


 To operate legally and efficiently, you need to complete several post-incorporation tasks. Here's a practical blueprint to ensure your business starts strong and stays compliant.

You've incorporated your companyβ€”fantastic! The name is official, the paperwork is complete, and you're ready to make your mark. But incorporation is just the first step. To operate legally and efficiently, you need to complete several post-incorporation tasks. Here's a practical blueprint to ensure your business starts strong and stays compliant.

1. Open a Corporate Bank Account


A corporate bank account is essential to keep your business finances separate from your personal ones. Mixing the two can lead to legal issues, accounting chaos, and tax complications. A dedicated account ensures clarity and professionalism in your financial operations.

To open an account, banks typically request:
- Your company's incorporation certificate and constitution
- A board resolution approving the account
- IDs for directors, shareholders, and authorized signatories
- Proof of business premises, such as a rental agreement or utility bill

Some banks require an in-person visit, even for solo entrepreneurs. When selecting a bank, consider fees, online banking functionality, and customer support responsiveness. A secretarial services provider can make this process smoother by recommending banks with fast onboarding and assisting with document preparation, helping you avoid delays.

2. Obtain Necessary Licenses


Certain industries require specific licenses or permits to operate legally. Sectors like hospitality, finance, education, or transportation often have strict regulatory requirements. Operating without proper approvals can lead to fines or forced closure.

Examples include:
- A food stall needing a hawker license and hygiene certifications
- A financial advisory firm requiring MAS approval
- A preschool needing registration with the Early Childhood Development Agency

Licensing rules can be intricate and vary by industry or location. Missing a permit could disrupt your operations, so early research is critical. Corporate secretarial services can identify the licenses your business needs and manage the application process, ensuring you meet all regulatory requirements without hassle.

3. Handle GST Registration


In Singapore, Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration is mandatory if your business:

  • Generates over S$1 million in taxable revenue annually, or
  • Is expected to exceed this threshold in the next 12 months.

Voluntary registration is an option for smaller businesses, especially if you deal with GST-registered clients or want to claim input tax credits. It can also make your business appear more established.

Once registered, you'll need to:
- Charge 9% GST on your invoices
- File regular GST returns (typically quarterly)
- Keep detailed records of taxable transactions

GST compliance is strict, and errors can lead to hefty fines. A secretarial services provider or accountant can set up your GST system, guide you through filings, and advise on the benefits of voluntary registration for your business model.

4. Meet Compliance Requirements


Post-incorporation compliance involves several ongoing tasks to keep your business legally compliant. These include:

  • Appointing a company secretary within six months (required by Singapore law)
  • Issuing share certificates to shareholders
  • Filing your first annual return with ACRA
  • Maintaining a register of significant controllers (those who control the company)

These tasks may feel like administrative chores, but neglecting them can lead to penalties or regulatory issues. A corporate secretarial services team handles these responsibilities proactively, ensuring your records are accurate and deadlines are met without distracting you from growth.

5. Set Up Accounting and Payroll


Proper financial management is critical from day one. Delaying your accounting setup risks errors, missed deductions, or penalties during tax season. Use accounting software like Xero or hire a bookkeeper to track income, expenses, and receipts.

If you're hiring staff, payroll is another priority. This includes:
- Calculating CPF contributions accurately
- Issuing compliant payslips
- Managing employee tax filings

Your secretarial services provider may offer these services or connect you with professionals to establish robust accounting and payroll systems, ensuring you're audit-ready.

6. Keep Documentation Organized


As your business grows, documentation becomes increasingly important. Every key decisionβ€”board resolutions, share transfers, or loan agreementsβ€”must be recorded. These records are vital for compliance, audits, or future transactions like investments or sales.

For instance, if you're pitching to investors, they'll expect a clear paper trail. A company secretarial services team ensures your documentation is thorough and organized, so you're always prepared for scrutiny.

Closing Note: Build with Support


Starting a business is exhilarating, but the post-incorporation phaseβ€”bank accounts, licenses, GST, and complianceβ€”can be overwhelming. Going it alone risks costly mistakes. A secretarial services provider handles the administrative details, keeping you compliant and letting you focus on growth. With their support, you'll launch your business with a solid foundation.

Corporate secretarial services are an integral part of business management and compliance, particularly in the context of corporate secretarial services in Singapore.

#ClimateDiary #CollapseDiary

When I set up #ClimateDiary in Jan 23, it still felt like many in privileged Global North thought everything was fine and normal; like only a minority of us saw the #Polycrisis or #Metacrisis .

By now, we all know, and know that everyone knows, that nothing is fine and normal, and that all these different crisis are connected.

We may not know what to do. But perhaps we can at least connect to those around us (IRL) in truer ways. IDK.

#ClimateDiary And apologies, I realise ⬆️ I kind side-stepped (ran out of space) - the main point of the article, which is that, whilst we all know things are not normal, we pretend they are; this is #hypernormalisation. Here Harfoush’s IG post on this. What I was trying to say was: maybe we can at least try and break through this, by trying to have real conversations with neighbours and friends; and that could be a start for finding new ways. IDK.

Quoting Ehud Barak on the Gaza genocide: β€œβ€¦β€

I was hoping to hear something meaningful from Barak about the genocide in Gaza, or at least honest. Golan and Olmert showed it can be done, and the poison machine can be confronted. After all, in 1998, Ehud Barak honestly stated that if born Palestinian, he might have joined resistance organizationsβ€” a politically costly admission that acknowledged Palestinian motivations. latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-19…

These days Barak merely calls for ending the war in #Gaza and releasing hostages, but frames his argument around Israeli strategic interests rather than Palestinian casualties, mentioning only a "humanitarian crisis" without directly addressing the genocide like Yair Golan in his "Israel kills babies as a hobby" comment, or even Olmert’s admission that the killings in Gaza being done β€œknowingly, intentionally, wickedly, maliciously, recklessly.”

Barak again repeats the argument that #Netanyahu must choose between far-right coalition partners and international leaders, proposing an inter-Arab transitional force for Gaza while warning that continued war will worsen Israel's diplomatic isolation. However, with Netanyahu facing war crimes allegations, political calculations and survival are hardly the central issue, nor is Israel's already damaged international image. The focus should be on raising urgent alarm and stopping the killing of more innocent civilians in Gaza.

Very disappointing.

How to revert to an earlier version of an app?

I've been using Tusky for browsing mastodon for a while and really enjoyed its experience. But then they moved the boost button all the way down to the bottom of the screen and that's just too much traveling for my thumb. What used to be a seamless experience has been dragged out, and enlarged to take up a quarter of the screen.

I tried switching to Husky for a few days but its missing some key functions I like about Tusky, like being able to follow and block hashtags, and change "load more" behavior to open up instead of down. It seems to be more a Plemora thing anyway.

I don't have the skills to fork Tusky, so I'm wondering if there's a way to basically undo an update. How do I get back to an earlier version?
