This is such an amazing example of what can bring people together.
The list of involved nations includes "good friends" like Iran, Palestine and Israel or Turkey and Cypern.
But overcoming multiple set backs, these nations come together to do science.
It feels like a feel good Underdog movie.

I have to refresh the entire page so that my Home column shows new entries.
But the other two columns (Notifications and Local timeline) refresh as normal.
Has someone else the same problem?
Antivax groups got their hooks into the Minnesota (USA) Somali immigrant community, and are now suffering a measles outbreak. Vax-rate for 2016 in that group is a low 47%. You need at least 95% or so for herd-immunity to function.
FUN FACT: This is the first time in history that the President of France will speak better English than the President of America.
Two demos at the same day are exhausting. And then the sunburn ...

Ok, problem with Mastadon: In Firefox it incures a SIGNIFICANT amount of CPU. Firefox suddenly starts using an average of 10-20% of my CPU, a i5 M 540 at 2.5 GHz.
Only web applications could make copying data off the internet and displaying it on screen take that much CPU.
Testing in Chrome now. Seems fine so far. Still about 5% of CPU, which is pretty crazy for rending text and a few images.
WTF, do I blame Firefox or the person who wrote Mastadon?
