As Putin rose to power, his whole shtick and appeal was that he bashed the "wild nineties" and offered stability over chaos. Look at Russia now.

That's you though. People saying the old launcher was sluggish wasn't uncommon. I'm sure Epic understands it's impossible or very hard to win some people over, so the best they can do is take steps to attract the rest.

Another source I spoke to was "eaten alive by anxiety" over the investigation and baffled that Germany, a close ally of Ukraine, was even pursuing prosecution.

What's so baffling there? The act of building the pipeline showed where Germany stands, or rather bends over, in relation to Russia.

Poland is great about this though:

Last year, he was arrested in Warsaw on a warrant issued by Germany but a Polish judge refused to extradite him.

In a dramatic twist, he ruled instead that a Ukrainian attack on Nord Stream, if that was what happened, would be a "just" act in a "bloody and genocidal war".

Very limited in scope, as it doesn't account for Russia now hosting gigs in the neighboring countries to make up for the sanctions. The earnings then end up supporting Russia's economy all the same. If you include the Russian Park Live festival alone, the list would also contain the likes of Megadeth, Jack White, Gorillaz, The Offspring, Marilyn Manson, Till Lindemann, Limp Bizkit, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Robbie Williams and so on.

Vivaldi makes it easier for Google to maintain its monopoly and dictate how things are on the web. Google is way worse than Mozilla in every aspect. A Firefox fork is the way.

[Örebro Party leader] Allard has described himself as a Communist, and a Marxist

A self-described communist promoting right-wing ideas? Lemmy is quite familiar with that concept.

Keeping Charlie Kirk alive in spirit.

How was it not an apology when he said:

  • It was never his intention to make light of the murder of Kirk.
  • That he asks for compassion.
  • That he's not blaming any specific group.
  • That the alleged shooter was a deeply disturbed and sick individual.
  • That he gets why people were upset about his previous remarks.
  • That he has many friends and family members on the opposite side politically.
  • That violence is never the solution.
  • That the people on the right he knows and loves don't send him death threats.

Why is it called a swap? It's not like Ukraine would get any part of Russia in exchange.

"whataboutism is effective propaganda". No, it's a reminder to address the actual argument, not talk about America lynching negroes.

I guess their security turned out to be as fragile as their masculinity!

It has nothing to do with privacy. Telegram is an old-school social network in that it doesn't even require that you register to view the content pages. It's also a social network taken to the extreme of free speech absolutism in that it doesn't mind people talking openly about every kind of crime and their use of its tools to make it easier to obtain the related services. All that with no encryption at all.
