  • Ukraine wants 20-year US security guarantee to sign peace deal

    Jump

  • The Budapest Memorandum was initially signed by Ukarine, Russia, United States and United Kingdom, "assuring" the security of Ukraine in exchange for giving up their nuclear arsenal. But afaik it doesn't really imply any legal obligations. I assume that the new agreement would involve more concrete conditions and responsibilities.

  • Starlink cut off halts Russian frontline assaults

    Jump
    1. Russia started employing remote controlled geran/shahed drones with connection implemented via Starlink relatively recently. The initial stopgap fix was to shut off connection at speeds over 90km/h.
    2. Ukraine had to compile the database of serial numbers (or whatever identifiers they use) of all Starlink units they have to whitelist them and there was pushback from the people on the frontlines who said that reporting ownership of their Starlink terminal may result in their commanders "redistributing" said terminal away from them, so it took time to make the whitelists happen.

  • Windows vs. Linux User

    Jump

  • The biggest gripe for me is completely disabling MMB copy-paste functionality and instead enabling autoscroll everywhere. Couldn't achieve this in CachyOS, except for the browsers and maybe a few Electron-based applications.

    Holding MMB to scroll like a touch screen drag also breaks canvas panning on MMB in Krita, so I had to disable it.

    Basically, MMB behavior in CachyOS is really unappealing to a Windows user, but it seems to be baked into the system.

  • Massive Attack to take all songs off Spotify

    Jump

  • Bandcamp has "Bandcamp Fridays" when 100% of the sales go to the artists. The next ones are on October 3rd and December 5th.

  • A-men > amendment

    Jump

  • It's not AI, the shopped in cops are from a picture taken during the 2019 protests in Moscow caused by the violations in the Moscow City Duma Elections.

  • Olympic shooting rule

    Jump

  • You're probably talking about Vitalina Batsarashkina, she's Russian.

  • Etsy to ban sale of most sex toys, explicit content, and more

    Jump

  • Meanwhile, most sex shops: selling jelly which just straight up melts with time, TPE/TPR which are porous and might melt when boiled and therefore pretty much impossible to keep clean, PVC which they promise doesn't contain phthalates this time, and silicone that has about a 50% chance of actually being platinum cured. DIYers can't be much worse, as far as I know, they either outright state what methods and materials they use or will provide them upon request.

  • Ukraine wiped out 100 Russian troops at once in a strike showcasing the range and power of its new US ATACMS

    Jump

  • Trying to demolish a capital structure like a bridge with rockets would be incredibly wasteful, they're better spent for precision strikes on ammo depots, airports, vehicle storage, etc. The payload of the long-range ATACMS is only 214kg, somewhat on par with the FAB-500 bomb, which carries around 200kg with stated TNT equivalent of about 300kg. The truck explosion on that bridge last year was estimated at around 10 tons TNT equivalent, it barely shifted a couple slabs, and was fixed within weeks.

    Using sea drones to take out supports might be a better idea, they're at least considerably cheaper.

  • Ukraine wiped out 100 Russian troops at once in a strike showcasing the range and power of its new US ATACMS

    Jump

  • The soldiers would have been out of reach of Ukraine's shorter-range ATACMS missiles

    Shorter-range ATACMS still have a range of 165km (103 miles), why would a position 50 miles behind the front lines be unreachable for them? It's likely that Ukraine is currently expending their existing stock now that they know more is coming.

  • Russia adds 'LGBT movement' to list of extremist and terrorist organisations

    Jump

  • The Supreme Court declared the "LGBT movement" to be extremist on November 30th last year. Ruling went into power on January 10th. Now it just got added to a list. People have already been arrested because of it before this. It's not an actual movement, the whole thing is just an excuse for more repressions, of course.

  • Gunmen in combat fatigues fire at crowds at Moscow concert hall, a big blaze follows

    Jump

  • Telegram channels such as Baza, Ostorozhno Novosti and Vazhnye Istorii were posting eyewitness statements and phone footage as early as 20:15 Moscow time and throughout the event. There was no jamming. Degraded performance was reported for Telegram and VK. Whether the issue was with the local access points or Telegram's data centers is not clear.

  • Gunmen in combat fatigues fire at crowds at Moscow concert hall, a big blaze follows

    Jump

  • People were posting videos while the attack was happening. Where are you getting this information about "jamming" from? Nearby traffic distribution nodes were likely overloaded which resulted in degraded performance of Telegram and VK services. This is something to be expected when thousands or even millions of people start sending messages all at once, trying to figure out what's happening to their friends and family.

  • Russian war blogger dies in apparent suicide after facing criticism for revealing Moscow's losses

    Jump

  • Do you guys ever have anything other to say than "haha window" and "lol shot himself 5 times"? Every time there's an article like this, the comments are all the same exact shit, never an original thought in sight.

    As for the guy himself, Murz was a war-mongering twat and he did shoot himself after being ordered to remove his telegram post about Russia's losses in Avdiivka and some bullying from the state propaganda headed by Solovyov. Everyone's better off with him dead. Rest in piss, hopefully he won't be the last problem to solve itself.
