  @sb@metroholografix.ca I've noticed similar accounts commenting on YouTube. They have been created years ago with minimal information, and suddenly they come out and go full throttle with pro-Russian arguments in debates on videos related to the US, EU and Ukraine. It's not ideal that Hetzner is hosting the email for them, but then again - if the Hetzner account is created by a EU citizen with Russian ties, it's almost impossible to detect. Personally I would contact the accou...

  @tim That said, you should be aware, that whenever you boost a post, it is the same as saying "this is so interesting that I think that anyone following me should read it".

There is no way that will ever be possible with public transport in small villages.

  @juliette it's in no way an interpretation - it's a comment on the real world consequences of what is happening right now.

From here, you can take a train or another bus and be on your way in another 10 minutes, probably less. You can go from home t...

  @juliette so if people - like me - live in a small village where most jobs are 20-30 kilometers away and they don't own an EV, they can basically go duck themselves because they chose to be poor and unable to afford to live in a large city with public transport that runs more than every two hours? And I'm sure that is really not what you meant, but that is very much the real life result of what you are suggesting. People can't just somehow magically afford an EV, just because energ...
