If somebody is finally coming around to your point of view, quite possibly the absolute *least* helpful thing you can do is point out how long it took.

They're here. Welcome them. Don't berate them because the journey didn't go as you would've preferred.

@molly0xfff One thing to note, if you move your paying users, you have to ask Substack support to remove the 10% cut before you migrate. Otherwise, Stripe will keep that 10% cut going to Substack forever.

I very rarely agree with the "CSS is broken" crowd, but viewport units are so fucked up we have like sixteen of them and they *still* don't always work the way you might want, or even consistently between browsers, so yeah, I see the point in that case.

People insist that Santa is white. Some say, he is Black. Isn’t this all just wrong? I once saw Santa in the internment camps, and he was most definitely Asian.

Wikimedia Russia has been dissolved.

The general assembly of Wikimedia RU decided to disband after it was made clear to the president of Wikimedia RU, who used to work as an assistant professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University, that he was to be classified as a "foreign agent" and had to resign from his post at the university.

Closing Wikimedia RU was done to protect the (now former) members of the non-profit organization that supports Russian Wikipedia.
