The idea that you even need a car for grocery shopping is insane.

That's just pathetic. It's like HAMAS's unguided rockets - they just don't have any resources to fire the actual rockets. Can't really blame them. Russia really should just evacuate the civilians out of there. Hiding behind them or using their death as a justification for war is below what this country should stand for.

On a serious note: You can't. There phone in his office is on entirely separate phone network. Even if you somehow managed to splice into it, they use custom encryption that you'd need a special device to use with, but the manufacturers won't even sell them to normal people. And that's how they found one of the Putin's yachts

It's not the amount of services that's the problem, the competition is aleays a good thing. It's exclusives that are the problem. Almost noone is complaining about origin and uplay even thouhh it's games are available via a launcher launching yet another launcher. But epic? Everyone hates epic precisely because of their exclusive deals taking content off of other platforms. And for streaming, I guess if some of the players worked out some deal to get their hands on exclusives from other platforms, people would stop complaining about it, even if they jack up the prices to ultimately end up with the same amount of revenue.

The reverse is also a thing, btw. Though it still uses special rail. But some Russian evil geniuses have made a road drive-able train before, and nobody even knows what for.

Sure, but I don't carry a sewing needle with either. Probably should, actually. The reason toothpicks are there is because it's the only thing at hand in those rare case when you need it, mostly middle of fuck nowhere and far away from home, when only one of the phones has charge but the other has reception.

Never. My current and all previous phones have toothpicks stuck in the holes and knife marks all around the sim tray.

Probably because it has to compete with piracy there, not with Microsoft and Adobe and such.

Reading this at 165hz, and in HDR. But... it's a laptop.

Though if the panel is out there, so are the monitors using it. From the looks of it, ASUS ZenScreen 16" (MB16QHG), UPERFECT 156K01SG and numerous chinese portable monitors use the exact same panel. Not quite desktop monitors, but it's at least something

Reading this on 2560x1600 screen right now. They're still available if you look for them.

AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn't have much leverage over Russian franchisee's. They can try and say "close the stores, we're leaving", but the actual store owners would just say "no" and re-brand them back to "Rostik's". They don't really have any assets in Russia so there's nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia

Спасибо за поддержку. Мы стараемся держаться и попытаемся пережить это неописуемое горе.

Hot take #2: Unless you have great code review culture, code rewiews are just unnecessary blockers

The real hot take: Spaces are better than tabs. Fight me

Get back to your green region you smart guy, we're having a moment of melancholy over arbitrary metric here.

Please stop reposting this crap every fucking day. What's up with you and this exact article in particular anyway? Are you getting paid or something?

You should see Russian law majors faces when Taliban envoys went to Kremlin and got their diplomats approved by MFA, even though the supreme court has ruled that Taliban is a terrorist organization and any of it's members should be arrested on sight and put in jail for 10+ years just for being a part of it. And now we get people who, under one law, are terrorists and have diplomatic immunity at the same time...

I'll take facebook messenger over whatsapp any day. At least it works on PC and has third party clients

Exactly. Right wing or not, the coup had majority support and they toppled the regime they considered oppressive. But the new government indeed ended up being the same shit as before, and the eastern states who considered the new government oppressive had all the rights to fight for secession. Though, actually, both were illegitimate, but laws are just words on paper in ex-USSR countries, so I consider anyone who considers either one legit, and another not, to be propaganda pushing fucks.

Kremlin propaganda has no place on lemm.ee

This is worrying. What exactly constitutes "Kremlin propaganda"? Sounds like a personal gripe which is now imposed as an instance-wide rule, which makes this instance topical, at which point you might as well defederate

Meanwhile, I think I'll have to switch instances. I hate the Russian government, and I condemn the war in Ukraine, but I do not support Ukraine either, I support both Maidan and the rebellion that followed, I oppose USA's imperialist politics and I will fight against any attacks on Russians based solely on their nationality. If "Kremlin propaganda" is banned, it is only a question of time until I step on that mine.
