  • Also, do they really need to expand their user base that badly? I thought they were doing relatively well . . .

  • Do you know if K-9 Mail is going to remain it's own thing next to Thunderbird for Android? I still see it on F-Droid.

  • The Electronic Frontier Foundation is Leaving X (Twitter)

    Jump

  • It's true that some people really do have to be on Facebook/Xwitter for work, but in that case I've always suggested that they also make a Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed account and let people know about it ("why not join me on ...") and try to use the two (or more) side by side. Hopefully that will make the people they interact with realize that there are in fact good alternatives, and perhaps get them to join as well, further increasing the size of the Fediverse🌈.

  • PetroDollar Is Dead, Yuan Is Replacing the Dollar in Oil Trade - The End for U.S. Economic Power

  • Very probably true, but I just get so sick and tired of the US's behavior that it's very tempting to root for its downfall.

  • PetroDollar Is Dead, Yuan Is Replacing the Dollar in Oil Trade - The End for U.S. Economic Power

    Jump

  • Good 👍🏻 Strangely enough, though, whenever I read about what will replace the US dollar as the world's reserve currency, it seems like the Euro is usually mentioned before the yuan, whereas you'd think it would be the other way round 🤔.

    'HO, Diomed, well met! Do you sup with Glaucus tonight?' said a young man of small stature, who wore his tunic in those loose and effeminate folds which proved him to be a gentleman and a coxcomb.

    'Alas, no! dear Clodius; he has not invited me,' replied Diomed, a man of portly frame and of middle age. 'By Pollux, a scurvy trick! for they say his suppers are the best in Pompeii'.

    And so forth.
