@Arotrios @siderea its a great post though I'm having trouble following through a series of toots. A blogging platform would help readability.

What do you buy for someone who doesn't like books, drugs, or proprietary software?

@antolius He definitely does like open source, but do such vouchers exist?

@architect That's slightly true...but I've been impressed at the internet's fact-checking ability. Reddit's top comments in /r/Ukraine typically show sources, or demands for sources.

Even the famous 'ghost of Kyiv' legend typically comes with the subtitle "I want to believe", because everyone knows it's just a fun rumour.

Note to self: If Serbia ever gets invaded, need to make good memes to ensure international help.

How it started:

"Just need to add a flag to this rss feed somewhere, and the timestamps will work properly."

24 hours later:

"So THAT'S how the kernel views file timestamps"
