I think the West as a collective should at least stop being so passive and draw some red lines itself.

@MrMakabar @sunzu2 less than 5 months left…

@LaFinlandia Assholes! They more than certainly want to make sure the right person wins the election, before postponing that indefinitely.

Hope the orange man will be beaten decisively at the ballots or things in all Eastern Europe will be terrible.

@LaFinlandia Every single day, the brutality and the malice of the Russian army never ceases to amaze me (in a bad way)

@hedge I don’t think it checks everything on your list, but there’s also a fediverse project called „Flohmarkt”

@0x815 just like in any totalitarian regime…

@BrikoX voter bribe sometimes happens in my country too (or at least there were documented cases in the past 35 years since we had free elections). But candidates themselves expressly telling people they would pay them to vote in a way or another is… a totally different level.

@Faydaikin Eh, there were some efforts in the '90s-2010s to make things less dangerous, but it now seems that everyone moved away from these smh

Did he ask someone to slap his face the hardest they could for multiple times prior to this?

@101 In my country the Russia-friendly folks are more creative: they take advantage by the crime that Moscow did prior to WW2 in order to justify their opinion that we should not involve in helping our neighbor. And the fact that they somehow discriminate the Romanian minority in the territories formerly owned by us (of course they do not do that as they’re eyeing European integration, but fake news need to go round) is used to somehow temper the sympathies for Ukraine.

It doesn’t matter that Ukraine is fighting an enemy that is even less likely to return these territories to us, who will more than certainly treat the Romanian minority in these territories at least 1000 times worse than they are treated now just to get rid of any trace of Romanians living there if they control these lands by any means. It doesn’t even matter to them that the enemy that Ukraine is fighting actually owns our entire national treasury since the end of WW1 (comprised of old documents and art pieces but also tons of gold) and if we would border them, we would share half of our border with a hostile neighbor owning the biggest nuclear stockpile in the world.

All it matters for them is to not get involved into other’s wars

@Joseph_Boom I just go to the biggest file, and it is usually the movie

Than they used to be, when? In the '50s or '60s, when the arms race was in full swing? Yes, I think that is true. But if we compare it with the last 2-3 decades, I do think however that things are gloomier. Firstly, the greater powers were more focused on cooperation rather than confrontation, and they focused more on maintaining the peace rather than creating their own spheres of influence.

I don’t think even the '70s or '80s were like that from a geopolitical standpoint.

@DarkThoughts We’ll have a global warming, and then we nuke each other so we can compensate with a nuclear winter. Who said climate denialists don’t have the big brain in here?

@0x815

@0x815 Since when and why did the world become such a dangerous place again? I hate to be this pessimistic, but it looks like we won’t stop until we will start nuking each other smh…

@onlinepersona I think I might start using Signal as well today.

@tal oh, my! How are they gonna launder all this money now?

@Outtatime probably they have an upload quota per each week/month. Just wait for a while and see if you still have the issue. Or just archive the full thing.

@hellisfulloftacos

@LordPassionFruit wouldn’t it be easier to go with something like ./[game]/[platform]/ and then in the platform folder to add all the game specific files for each platform?

@hellisfulloftacos

@tardigrada I hope the fucker in Kremlin will leave us as soon as possible. It just all feels like a bad dream that you can’t believe it’s real…

@thingsiplay Last year they offered 20 GB free for every referral - both for you and the person you referred - because of their anniversary. And the features just make it such a compelling option as well. Such a great service.
