For sure, but the argument being made here isn’t that Medvedev is speaking truth, but that he can be referred to with “Russia says.” Which, yeah, he’s a mouthpiece for the Russian government, so that checks out, accuracy of the statement notwithstanding.
Maybe it has something to do with also needing international support in order to defend itself from its neighbor… talk all the shit you want about the US’s stance on Israel, but shifting that to Taiwan is on par with claiming Ukraine deserved to get invaded.
Which I now realize is probably your next line. Anyway, oh well
Go big or go home. “Russia starts using nukes and us government blames ukrainians for it”
I did not but I’ll give you an upvote anyway
he would prefer it to stay reasonably rich
I think he’d much rather eliminate one of the top economies and make more room for the Russian economy to recover. I’d imagine the simplified version of the plan goes something like this:
The issue there is Trump already won the election. I’m not sure enough people would turn on Vance if he had some legitimate claim to power
Some of it is definitely bots, but don’t discount the human factor either. Russia had an entire branch of the military dedicated to trolling the Internet at least as far back as 2015. Something tells me that hasn’t gotten smaller since then. No doubt they work in tandem with bots as well, constantly editing their output, maybe even making posts from the same accounts.
The fediverse may be small compared to the behemoths, but I don’t think we’re so small as to be ignored.
That dude posts so much so frequently, it’s extremely fishy
On the one hand calling it AI is annoying, but on the other we’ve been calling video game NPC logic “AI” for as long as I can remember and no one thinks they’re actually sapient. Surely we can get to that point with GenAI as well.
Absolute worst case scenario, you have to reinstall Windows, and that’s really no harder than installing Linux in the first place. I don’t think there’s a situation where you’d wind up “stranded”
Seconding the person saying not to dual boot on a new partition. That was how I started with Linux like 10 years ago, and even then Windows would fuck up grub every time it updated and it took me ages to learn how to get boot into Linux again. Plus if you ever decide to ditch windows entirely, wiping that partition and adding it to the Linux one can be a pain in the ass.
If all you have is a laptop and a dream, maybe that’s the way. But if there are any other options…
Lucky you. I’ve been letting calls from any number I don’t recognize go to voicemail for years and nothing ever seems to change.
I wonder if switching up the order more often would be a good way to remind everyone that every letter is a separate group of people
I could be wrong but as far as I remember the computer guy in Dredd (2012) was using Linux and had openssh running in the terminal
Less forgotten, more intentionally misinterpreted. They penalize as antisemites anyone critical of the state of Israel, while simultaneously allowing this political party to exist. Assholes.
Oh, I just saw she links to cs.rin.ru last night while looking for solutions.
Also, wasn’t being serious anyway
On the one hand, oh no, not the fitgirl repacks!
On the other, I spent an hour last night failing to get my controller to work with her repack of Yakuza kiwami, so maybe it’s for the best…
Ooh perfect, now I can get crumbs all over my keyboard and say it’s part of the aesthetic, mom
What the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan was wrong, no doubt. There’s a lot of reasons for that, ranging from who was actually responsible for 9/11 to all the actual violence between the civilians and soldiers. But systematic extermination is NOT one of those reasons. What Israel is doing in Gaza is 1000x worse. Equating it to how the US conducted its affairs minimizes what’s actually happening, muddying the water and keeping people from feeling like they should actually be doing anything about it.
I haven’t mained Windows in a long time but I think Malwarebytes is still supposed to be good
