Not to be rude, but it seems you have strong opinions about things you know very little about. A good lithmus test: if you think the rest of the world is all stupid/ignorant/incompetent and misses something obvious, it is very ver

I used to lead policy on digital school education for an important organization advising governments on education policy. This was my driving concern: to fight against all the old grumpy people that don't understand and absolutely fear

If you haven't read it yet, pick up "Sex, Power Suicide" as well. Very dense reading but I learned something new or understood something I knew better from basically every page I read.

The book is described explicitly as "not for beginners". Do you have a recommendation for beginners?

"don't sleep there are snakes" - half an adventure book, half linguistic analysis and explanation of a fairly unique language.

This seems to me a well written and reasonable article by a respected and known Czech scholar. It is far from propaganda channels and false news like on RT.

I assume you're from Turkey? I keep wondering how much the welcome for Syrian refugees was just due to the proximity, or more due to the geopolitics that Erdogan continues to play with them. Basically he holds the "I will release

Syria and most of Africa are not "known terror states", or at least they weren't before the nightmares of civil war that enveloped them and made the people flee. But I dare to guess that you meant to say "Muslim" wi

My healthscare is an admittedly unusual one, but it applies globally - with a single country exempt. I can get treatment in Sri Lanka, Greece, Moldavia, North Korea, Ghana or Iran and they will cover it. But not the US as ithat system is th

We are currently hosting Ukrainian refugees and one of them was suddenly struggling to breathe. We brought her to the hospital two days ago and they made her sign a single sheet that says "you can request the social services on my beha

In any country a certain part of the population holds extreme views. If the military represents more or less the population then by necessity it will contain some fascists etc. If anything, you would not expect many vegans or non-violence a

First, there is no simple western media. That of Poland is different from Germany is different from France is totally different from the US media. Some of those are better than others Second, we have a classic dilemma. There is a media open

Azov is one of the batallions there but your post is totally skewed. If your country is attacked and the KKK volunteer to fight, will you stop them from doing so? Why should the western media focus on which troops fight on the Ukrainian sid

I heartily disagree. Maybe its just my privacy conscious european-ness but seeing how companies keep leaking data I do not went to give my data, much less my CC, to a service I'm not actually sure i will end up using.

Ok true for a pure scanner these might indeed be fine. Too few ways for the manufactured to additionally fleece you :-)

Is vuescan not a safer choice? Epson, canon and hp software tend to do automatic updates and may choose to brick your device if you use the wrong ink. They also tend to collect data unless you carefully fight every setting. Why even expose

First you would have to prove this was intentional and done by the authors themselves (not e.g. an assistant).

No need to attribute malice. Why would that be intentional? Its just ambiguous drafting.

I don't think this is a great article, but you are simply wrong. There are well tested universally attractive things, like * hourglass shape (although the dimensions vary the proportions stay attractive) in women * tallness and muscles

While you describe a general trend, this does not seem to apply here. The initiative vastly improved quality of life for the local population. While we might romanticism stilt-walking shepherds, that is an incredibly harsh and difficult li

Note that was china the region and the reason was most of the time war - either internal between different kingdoms or with the various steppe people and ultimately the Europeans.

Europe was a backwater of global affairs for millennia, with essentially all wealth moving through different steps further east to China. Then advances in weaponry and shipbuilding enabled it to subject others and extract vast amounts of we

Your summary/points looks as if the things listed are the authors view when hr is rather ascribing those views to Putin. E.g. whether Crimea is Russian, Ukrainian or something else will get you the same diverse answer as the questions

Actually this thread is even better, suggesting that this was a planned propaganda move for a moment when Russia expected to have 'won' https://mobile.twitter.com/theACentauri/status/1504956221463...

I agree in principle but not everything is useful for the public, and making code FOSS is not just a matter of uploading it somewhere - this requires documentation, regular updates, clear assignation of responsibility, etc. You'd be su

This appears to be a strange self-conversation. You take words and twist them until they fit a point you wanted to make. Apparently you believe in things that most don't believe and that have been labeled (by whom?) as Russian propagan

That seems like a very harsh interpretation. Very few people will care whether their specific download is tracked. I do honestly wonder how that adds vakuento Mozilla, but no one will not use Firefox due to this- especially as every singl

I practice anapana and vipassana so can empathise, but it is plain ignorant to think Buddhists are necessarily peaceful. Tibet was a violent warrior kingdom and Buddhists have committed many crimes too. See the ongoing (!!) genocide in Myan

Not true. I lost access to gmail because of 2FA - Google Authenticator to be precise. One random sunny day my 2 year old bit in my phone, thereby breaking it. A few days before i had reinstalled linux and apparently had not yet logged into
