2·6 days agoA different kind of “public surveillance”. Not with surveillance and technology but through people.

oooh, you weren’t talking about the videogame Rust, lol
Given OP was about the videogame Warsow, I guess I defaulted to the videogame Rust instead of the programming language Rust - even though, obviously, that game is not FOSS
Who can they serve if nobody can pay?
8·18 days agoThey say it’s a QR code challenge, resistant to bots, but what does it to? How does it work?

IIRC it was too “classic” for me.
I played around with another open-source shell for a bit, Cairo Shell / Cairo Desktop Environment, but it wasn’t able to replace my default shell.
Go to the homepage and click Samwise :D
What made it “a decade ahead”?
I’ve never seen one in action.
I still don’t see them losing. no idea where you get that from. Russia is on its last leg. Economy, citizen dissatisfaction, even Russian war propaganda bloggers voice significant concern about Russias state and losses.
Ukraine still holds their lines, and just secured their huge EU loan.
Meanwhile, Russia sells its gold reserve, has mass closure of companies, record deficit in the public and linked private sectors. And their central refinery 1500 km from the front is on fire. Their oil exports aren’t gonna get any better.
These reports always feel pretty depressing. Especially the colored map as well.
Falling behind Germany in artillery shell production and behind Ukraine in press freedom in the same month? Tragic.
Ukraine rising 7 ranks during wartime is impressive.
Imagine they eventually drop their own ai and remain a smartphone company.
6·26 days agoProtected area but these kinds of activities. I’m confused. Allowing that is the opposite of protection.
I wonder how the subsidies compare to those for more healthy fishing. Current seems like a tragedy.
Good to read about phase out, but even now four more years seems quite long. I guess it’s a matter of which side you look at it from.
Even Sirski is forced to admit that the UA is shrinking, while the number of Russian forces in the field is growing.
Yet they’re still successfully defending and countering. Which was my point. So I don’t see how that was incorrect.
Yet Russian oil exports continue to grow.
Where do you source this from?
Ukraine’s drone strikes have reduced Russian oil exports at Baltic ports by 53% as of the end of March
Maybe we all have to train being able to liste and talk at the same time, like interpreters/translators.
Russia has employed lying in propaganda in and out of the context of war since the beginning and before it. I don’t see that as any meaningful measure. You have to look for the facts and indications beyond the propaganda without being distracted by the propaganda or trying to meta-analyze it. Both sides will try to make their spins, and try to exaggerate and paint to the maximum of their ability in their respective environments.
For Russia, smoke screening is part of its narratives and political defense. I haven’t noticed such systematic lying beyond what I would expect in wartime propaganda from Ukraine.
Press landscape is its own share of issues and part of what makes propaganda so important, effective, and necessary.
Ukraine has losses, but, with its limited resources, Ukraine is also very successful in defending and in striking into Russia. And to retain support, they have to utilize propaganda/publicity, to stay in the public and international eye, and continue to receive support. And they’re very effective in that too.
people are also losing basic conversational skills, […], like how to not interrupt people.
That sounds funny. Not being able to not interrupt people? Seems unfathomable to me.
Now that I can do self-checkout when buying groceries: -hello -with card please -thanks -bye = -6 words
Call center? :P
Everyone is working in call centers and public service /s
What’s funny about it?
You were claiming it was part of a big propaganda push. I pointed out that it was a response to Russian claims. Russia claimed control of the city. Zelensky took a picture in front of the city sign.
I don’t know what you think propaganda is, how it works, and what you consider a “big push”. But I feel you’re miscategorizing, misinterpreting, and having wrong expectations. Ukraine still does plenty of politics and - if you want to call it that - propaganda. Focus and situations change. There’s only so much they can do, and only so much that makes sense and is worth the effort invested.
That instance of taking and posting a picture was very successful publicity. It doesn’t mean they won’t continue to face challenges or that they don’t know they will.
If you’re trying to make a different point, you gotta be more specific instead of posing these open questions. It makes me waste time interpreting, formulating answers, and expanding context as well.
Exceptional free indie games on Steam. Sheepy has a great atmosphere. Unless is an excellent 2D platformer. Halloween Capybaras has great atmosphere and visual effects.
These are what came to mind, as good ones, that I remember. I guess I’ll stop now. I’m sure if I went through my Steam reviews, I would find numerous more great indie titles as well.
