@polidemitolog It’s 2026. They were still there? For shame.

Italian bank UniCredit is winding down its business in Russia, according to Kommersant. The financial group has abandoned plans to sell its Russian UniCredit Bank and is now considering full closure, asset liquidation, staff cuts, and surrendering its banking license. Retail business in the regions has already been shut, corporate operations are being reduced, and client managers are being laid off with large payouts. The main goal is to minimize operations, capitalize profits, and exit the market. UniCredit is one of only two remaining western systemic banks in Russia alongside Raiffeisen Bank.

@pleasedontatme But Deloitte! 🤣

exempting employment income from the age pension income test deary me

@championswimmer I haven’t heard any answers to tour question. What did BA say?

The interesting question people forget to ask is why do you think they have not done it yet? Or the 50 other "critical infrastructure of society" type apps and why they are not just Clauding and making it better? Lots of interesting answers when you ask that question.

@BitcoinPierre A billion dollar business idea, right there.

Bitcoin is permissionless and pseudonymous, but shipping is not, this is how Ross Ulbricht was caught by the postal service.

@andrelorenzob She repeats what her computer says. Reminds me of the Galaxy Quest: “Look, I have one job on this lousy ship. It's stupid, but I'm gonna do it!”

Latam cancelou a perna nacional do meu voo internacional. No guiche, a atendente falou que só poderiam me alocar num voo partindo dia 17. Fiquei realmente admirado como ela foi capaz de dizer isso como se fosse algo razoável e tivesse alguma chance de aceitar.

@geoffreywoo I initially misread John’s question too. It’s about Satoshi Nakamoto pretenders agreeing to NYC photoshoot. The answer is - yes, they would agree.

dude… satoshi hasn’t moved a penny on $100B of bitcoin and stayed anon for 17 years, and you think he would care about your photoshoot sir, your ego is inverse to your IQ

@grhmc Why would you not trust your own backends? Interested in the threat model here.

It seems not great that AWS load balancers will talk HTTPS to backends, but cannot be configured to validate those TLS certificates.

@visegrad24 Who?

Sneako has announced that he will host a stream tomorrow with Dugin and Jiang Xueqin. The anti-Western propaganda keeps flowing from Sneako

@pitdesi Despite massive unfair advantage from the outset, I reckon the project will flop hard.

Mamdani wants to spend $30M to build a city-owned grocery store… plus waived rent and taxes This is so dumb I feel bad for all the small businesses grocery stores in the area (of which there are many!) Food deserts are not a real problem

@RadicalFalk Off to Switzerland, I presume?

Why I'm leaving Berlin after 8 years -Girlfriend gets regularly sexually harassed in public -Massive amounts of drug addicts all over the city -People are highly political but uninformed -Clan crime is tolerated, not combatted -Half of the city smells like urine -Endless construction sites -Crime is increasing a lot -Winter too long and cold -Nobody wants to work -Dog poo everywhere -Not cheap anymore -Streets are dirty -Grumpy people All these things are "tolerable" as a single, but once you have children everything changes. I want my children to be able to grow up in a clean and safe environment, have walkable areas, a vibrant food scene, affordable housing, strong public transport and respectful public behavior. Unfortunately something like this doesn't exist in Germany. It's not a Utopia, it exists, and I'm going there.

@ashoKumar89 Over a million users here. Not worth it. Unless, yes, you want job security that comes with artificial complexity. Thus hundreds of K clusters.

Be honest: At what scale does Kubernetes actually become worth it? 100 users? 1K? 10K? Or is it about complexity, not traffic?

@GergelyOrosz I honestly hope Hungary won’t blow this historic chance.

Hungary, in the end, chose Europe, rejected Russia, and rejected sprawling corruption. With record turnout (78% of those eligible voting), Tisza gained supermajority. Orbán’s autocratic regime, built out, step by step, over 16 years, will promptly be dismantled. Historic!

@laurashin Bitcoin to $1M, and wannabe-Microstrategy. US dollar is the future of money??

Ok, I have been hearing things … so I just want to state for the record that I do NOT believe Adam Back is/was Satoshi. Also: his participation in all the media around it is … highly beneficial to him and his business at this critical moment

@polidemitolog CIA is the old story. It is Ukraine. We pull all colour revolution strings, worldwide.

If Orban loses, while being supported by the US and Russia unanimously, how are the truth-seekers going to blame the CIA for the color revolution?

@IlvesToomas And who was listening.

The sov version of caller ID. If one of these phones rang, you knew *exactly* who was calling.

@Pledditor Right. Just like Elizabeth Holmes before Mr. Back. Respectfully and without threat. That’s journalism.

While Satoshi hunting has become something of a bitcoin tradition, don't normalize this behavior. That guy stalked Adam Back for 18 months, harassed him in person, annoyed anyone ever associated with in hopes of uncovering info. That's not okay. It's creepy and weird.

@gotravelyourway The aircraft model doesn’t really come into consideration once I tried the type. Sentimental value? The 777.

You’re about to board a 10+hour flight. Which aircraft are you hoping to see at the gate? ✈️ Airbus A350 ✈️ Boeing 787 Dreamliner ✈️ Boeing 777 ✈️ Airbus A380 Be honest. 👀

@peterrhague That’s not translated from Kazakh language.

Auto translate is giving us a world tour. Introduced us to Japanese Twitter last month, now we get to meet Kazakh Twitter.

@loftwah I pledged to hold democratic beliefs.

@Slav636 Don’t need elections if we get rid of democracy.

Sick of the way our media in Australia tries to influence people endlessly given how it is funded, coordinated and what their agenda is. We don’t deserve democracy and I would prefer it went away.

@loftwah Wanna win elections - need to persuade people. That’s how it works. Times and again, opposition parties rise despite financial and media disadvantages.

@Slav636 It is the average and below average that concerns me. I suspect you actually read into and question the things you think about. I am not incorruptible but I will certainly figure it out and change my views when new information comes in.
