Can someone explain to me (a) why Scotland and NI have covid tracing apps already but England & Wales don't, and (b) why there are 3 in the first place (let alone the others across the world)

I wish there was a way to pluralise "Raspberry Pi" to differentiate it more clearly from... well, you get it.

These aren't the international laws you're looking for

In order to keep costs down, the mastodon.me.uk server will be moving to a shared host in France;.

I wanted to keep it in the UK, but sadly the costs of dedicated hosting are not being covered by donations. If more supporters donate, we could move it back to the UK in future - set up a donation at https://opencollective.com/mastodon-me-uk if you can!

The move shouldn't affect any actual use of the server, it's all behind the scenes.
