As with so many WP articles related to the fediverse, so much crucial information has been pruned out of the article covering StatusNet that it's arguably become misleading;
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statusne…
Articles seem to comes to the attention of... certain editors. Who know nothing about the subject, and worse, seem to consider accuracy irrelevant to the quality of WP articles. They add nothing, but prune anything not spelled out in the existing references.

some thoughts on what i'd expect from a "spoiler" element.

The topic of how to make an accessible spoiler component, or ‘should there be a spoiler element?’ has recently (re)-caught my attention. (I wrote most of thi...www.scottohara.me
@jcsteh if the details/summary element could be consistently styled / the HTML parser would be updated to allow a details within a paragraph, or to cross paragraph boundaries - then sure i guess.
seems people have commented further with more details concerning styling concerns / potentially unwanted behaviors. but it's really the styling and parser limitations that make reusing details unlikely for many people now. change that, then there's even less of a need for such a niche widget.

There's an old, crude expression I'm fond of because I am an old, crude man, that you don't let the camel's nose into the tent if you do not want the camel's ass in the tent soon.
Anyway, here's an article about Amazon. Could be about printers, could be about lots of things. Really it's about business models delivered through hardware.

In this #Movim #release you'll find the first exciting video-conferencing features integrated with the help of the @nlnet funding. A big thanks to them for their precious support 😊 ❤️
The call flow is now completely integrated in the main window and an important refactoring was done both in the frontend part and the #XMPP Jingle stack.
You will also find several user interfaces fixes as well as a database reorganization.
⚠️ This version is also fixing a serious security issue that could cause remote-code execution under specific circumstances. We are inviting you to update as soon as possible.

This article doesn't have the word "commute" in it at all. Not very many of them do.
"As much as an 8 percent raise", but 8% of an 8 hour day is about 45 minutes. Which is... a 20 minute commute to and from work, which is time out of your life your employer is taking from you, unpaid, for which employer and employee both gain nothing.
And a 20 minute commute in Toronto is a _joke_, it's nothing. 40, 60, sometimes 90 are common.
I wish journalists could do math.

The pandemic-era trend of working remotely has endured largely because it benefits both workers and businesses, economists said.Greg Iacurci (CNBC)
Imagine a job offer that read:
"As a condition of your employment, you will spend an additional 60 to 90 minutes every day in a mildly unpleasant environment accomplishing nothing. You will not be compensated for this time, nor any costs incurred during this time. Nothing that happens during this time will be valued or recognized by your employer in any way. However, should you decline these conditions or fail to complete them you will be fired."
A reasonable person might ask "what the hell".

The Russian economy is crashing.
In 2008 one ruble would buy 4 US cents. Now the value is just 1 cent. Imagine an entire country of people having the value of their pensions etc. reduced by 75 percent, just because of 1 man’s stupidity.
Good luck with the imports Vladimir.
oh, no-no it’s not that bad!
It’s even worse!
In 1991 you could get $2 for 1₽.
In ‘92 it was just 0.8¢
By ‘97 crashed to 0.016¢
Then RUB was denominated by factor 1000 (1000₽ → 1₽) in ‘98
So now you get 16¢ for 1 new ₽, but…
by ‘99 it was already 4¢
and in ‘24 it’s back to 1¢
But now you know that it’s actually 0.0001¢.
So it’s 2$ to 0.0001¢ in just 35 years.
Yeah, you are reading this right:
RUB in ‘24 worth 2,000,000 (two million) times less than in ‘91 comparing to USD
Kinda make you think, right?
But wait!
let’s look 100 years back. It’s 1920 and exchange rate it still about 1¢ for 1₽
Catch is that along the way it was denominated 6 times, by total factor of 5 × 10¹⁵ so in just a century it’s value comparing to USD is fallen
5 000 000 000 000 000

1 quadrillion is 1000 trillions, so it’s 140 times bigger than US national debt.
“crashing” is just a permanent state of Russian economy
