Yeah, but enshittification started getting to Reddit and it was a wise choice to not stay to see how it goes further, as it will become more and more corporatized.

With Lemmy my problems are only with opinions developers have (spoiler: pro-Russian tankie transphobes). But idea of Lemmy and work put into it still deserve respect.

So as for now I just hope my compatriots will catch up on Fediverse eventually (Mastodon is already quite popular).

Goddamit. Got me.

Wrong, it was to draw attention of Americans. Otherwise they wouldn’t read it.

So, searching through Russian news, I found like 1 mention of any casualties in 10 successful oil industry strikes.

So that’s just mostly peaceful civilian oil bases getting hit, that supply peaceful oil to peaceful refineries that then supply peaceful gas to peaceful Russian war logistics and other parts of their peaceful war machine.

You’re just holding Ukraine by much higher standards. While Russia deliberately kills civilians and then says “US made us do it”, so it’s okay. And Ukraine trying to carefully disarm the aggressor can also be labeled just as bad as aggression itself and blamed on US.

Man, your worldview is so warped it hurts. And worst of all - you’ve tried to tell a Ukrainian that we should just “get over that” while Russia continues to do terroristic acts just for the sake of doing them.

Did you read these articles yourself?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_in_Russia_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

The main targets have been the military, the arms industry and the oil industry.

In January 2024, Putin again made statements which suggested, according to the Institute for the Study of War, that his “maximalist objectives in Ukraine” remained unchanged, “which are tantamount to full Ukrainian and Western surrender”. He again called for the overthrow of the Ukrainian government.

It’s not that I didn’t know any of these, it’s just that you just provided sources that debunk your own arguments.

Just few weeks ago Putin said in a speech (rough translation):

Russia is where Russian soldiers foot stepped.

Which is like, one of most fascist things I’ve ever heard. I’ll even provide Russian source:

https://topwar.ru/266695-tam-gde-stupaet-noga-russkogo-soldata-nashe-putin-podcherknul-chto-rossija-ne-trebuet-kapituljacii-ukrainy.html

Not to mention Russian denial of the very existence of Ukrainian identity and statehood, which he also did in that same speech.

Man, just read these sources, because you’re repeating Taco Don’s rhetoric about “kids fighting in a sandbox”.

Can you elaborate on Ukrainian salvos please? And also - on Russian peace proposals too.

No, Ukraine did not have any great “score” earlier as with operation “Spiderweb” to “provoke” such attack.

It was just our Constitution Day yesterday. Just so people here understand what Russians mean by “root causes of conflict”.

I’m more than sure that climate change will negatively impact the economy.

So I’d just say that there is something for shareholders (not to mention investment opportunities in green technologies), it’s just that some people greedy shits who don’t think about what happens in future.

Well, right now it’s basically an arms race between recruiters and job seekers on who can put less effort in the process.

I’m fairly certain many recruiters absolutely abuse the hell out of LLMs to read résumés, and when LLM-generated resumes arrive en masse - why even bother.

And then you have some “bright minds” using AI agents to even do interviews, making people talk to robots. At some point the job seeking party is gonna do the same, and either it will be “interviewing is dying”, or there will be some serious reconsiderations from employers on how not to organize hiring process.

Farmers in New Zealand are organized into cooperative, probably the biggest and most successful cooperative there is, and there’s almost zero subsidizing from state for them.

That’s what he says.

Ukrainian special services, on the other hand, point out servers and most Telegram employees residing in St. Petersburg and claim that he made few dozen visits to Russia since his alleged flight from there.

I’d add up a bit. The idea expressed there is also basically dismissing Ukrainian subjectivity, and that is exactly what Russians do all the time.

Their ideology locked them in such a position where either Russia exists or free independent Ukraine exists, because they treat Ukraine as “Russia’s missing piece”.

This is why I naively believe that if any ceasefire actually happens (even if slightly unfavorable for Ukraine) - Russia will simply subsequently self-destruct.

That may be hypocritical, but having hostile neighbour, that itself doesn’t respect any conventions (and Russians absolutely don’t mind anti-personnel landmines among other things such as cluster munitions and chemical warfare) is a good stimuli to rethink ones principles.

Good thing Lemmy is safe since .ml folks agree with MAGA on lots of things. 🌝
