Defederation/Banning in the name of containing "different viewpoints" is just Reddit all over again
In 2003, Perelman, a Saint Petersburg native, became known for solving the Poincaré conjecture, the solution that had eluded mathematicians for almost a century.
In 2006, Perelman was awarded a Fields Medal for this work, but declined to accept it. Sir John Ball, president of the International Mathematical Union, spent a chilly day in Saint Petersburg trying to convince Perelman to accept it, but failed miserably.
In 2010, Perelman was awarded a $1 million Millennium Prize, but once again Perelman declined it.
“I'm not interested in money or fame.” he was quoted as saying when declining the award.
Perelman lives with his mother in a spartan apartment in a St. Petersburg suburb. He plays a violin.
Overall, he is a sample of the true Soviet person. He was raised in the USSR. He is aimed at creation and achievements, not money. A really rare species nowadays.

Lemmy DID support HTML and iframes sometime ago. The devs scrapped it for security reasons and I hear they are planning to bring it back in future after making sure it is secure enough to use.
Exactly. And now people are going mad when the AI start doing what it was supposed to do.
The application isn't released yet. Maybe that's why?

Sssh. You shouldn't tell such things in public 🤫

How the tides of time turns!
25-year-old Archana Choudhary was in a field on the outskirts of the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, when a fully-grown tiger appeared from the bushes and began to drag her one-year-old into the undergrowth.
Archana managed to wrestle her son away from the tiger, receiving serious injuries to her back, waist and arms in the process, as well as a punctured lung.
Her screams brought locals running and they chased the tiger away with sticks before rushing the young mother to hospital. Amazingly, her son had only minor injuries, and both are expected to make a full recovery.
The former leader of Pakistan has addressed his supporters at a rally, "My nation has woken up, now there is no change, revolution is coming." (Reports)
