Hey, just jumping in here because this does sound familiar. My nana was a Jew in Poland, born in 1923. She saw the writing on the wall and left for Ukraine and the next 5 years on a farm over there. She came back afterwards and found nothing left for her, and that’s how I’m now Australian - she went to Israel after the war, didn’t much like it and kept moving

Anyway, my point is get out while you still can. My nana was youngest of 7, and she lost 4 siblings. Don’t know what’s going to happen to you there. You can either stay and fight (one of her brothers was a officer in the red army) or just not deal with the bullshit and move on somewhere that you’ll be more accepted.

I’m sorry this is so crap but it feels familiar and I’m worried for you.

This all sounds like it could have been in a Sealab episode…

“Don’t completely disapprove” might be better phrasing

Mate, you can just put your finger over the solar panel until it slowly gets strangled

What if you are practicing? Can you start slow on the hard bits or do you have to get it right straight away?

What is you installed a gutter? And made the down pipe go into a bucket

Not wanting to be too conspiratorial, but it isn’t necessarily people simply doing this out of the badness of their hearts. The fediverse is a disruptive platform and there are many parties with deep pockets that might happily funnel a little bit of cash to certain consultancies in certain countries to stop things and add friction to this platform before it really takes off. Nothing like a little bit of corporate sabotage!
