British PM Starmer hugged Zelenskyy. That’s how bad U.S. foreign policy has gotten—it’s driving the Brits to physical displays of emotion.
Watching the Zelensky v Trump & Vance. Utterly incredible. More like something which should be on The Onion.
The damage that Trump has done to US soft power and geopolitics in the space of a month, would have been unthinkable only 3 months ago.
Utterly appalling.

Trump showed himself to be the loud-mouthed quisling we all knew he was.
Zelenskyj showed himself once again to be the leader of the free world.
The EU must invite Zelenskyj to Strassbourg on his way home. He must be shown he has the support of Europe. A speech at the European Parliament would be good.
@veronica cool, makes sense.
@ldodds you bring back fun memories from when I worked on smart meter analytics. Daylight saving was especially fun, when two different meter manufacturers did it completely differently. With one brand returning 46 reads and 50 reads on the change overs.

#PostgreSQL has the highest adoption rate out of any other database in the last 1-2 years. For good reason - it's an excellent #OpenSource solution that is incredibly flexible, allowing it to suit just about any use case.
Check out the full report from #Redgate (2025 State of the Database Landscape) to learn about the current state of #database management and get "valuable insights into how organizations can navigate and simplify the growing complexities." https://buff.ly/431mI26

At least once a day I'm reminded of this slide from @bagder last year at FOSDEM

@SecurityWriter common mistake, thinking that you need to put something *into* your brain to use JavaScript. What you *actually* need to do is remove best practices, separations of concerns, sanity, and hope. Then you'll finally be a JavaScript developer.

🚨BREAKING: Google will soon install an app called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore
They say it's a "safety measure" to protect your #privacy, but in fact it's client-side scanning.
Yet, we all know that client-side scanning is bad: https://tuta.com/blog/eu-client-side-scanning
Deinstall the app on your #Android: System -> Apps
@Edent to my mind, they sem semantically different. But what do I know.
