I think this conflict has shown that they aren't as good at fighting against actual soldiers as they are at "fighting" against defenseless people.

> And, there's a strong possibility that we're experiencing some psyops here, to make the Russians appear incompetent. Given their unencrypted radio communication they have done a fair effort to support that idea themselves.

Yesterday someone who had been right about other things told me on Twitter that Russia has been running their communication in cleartext at least until recently. I don't listen in to Ukrainian radio so I cannot verify but I am sure som

Norway has been holding back oil production. If needed we can essily ramp it up quite a bit for a few years. And, as I mentioned the other day, I at least would be positive to sell at a lower prices to friendly countries in Europe until we

On YouTube you cannot control anything: - YouTube can remove it - people can store offline copies On Peertube at least YouTube can't take it down which means you have more control over it.

Other humans. I feel disgust just remembering that particular event and won't share any more details. Sorry. My point was only that I had a really really nice office but preferred the hot and noisy radio lab strongly.

I feel you. Back in 2012 to 2015 I worked most of the time I think in the radio lab at the company I worked for at the time. Temperature was often above 30 degrees in the summer. I didn't think much of it back then, went into office, s

Well done! One question, the orginal demo was amazing in itself, is that technology/source still available somewhere?

Fossils create a mess in 25 or 100 years. Not stopping Russia can create bigger problems in 1 or 2 years (and it will come on top of existing problems.)

I meant all European democracies I think, temporarily[1] until we get this mess sorted. [1]: In the long run oil and gas prices should probably increase until solar and nuclear power become very profitable.

As long as it doesn't get in the way of fixing it it cannot hurt to spread awareness of Firefox. (Not saying it is worse than anything else, just that it used to be better.)
