As it looked for a foreigner, reading almost exclusively mainstream media, when I happened to come by, not only were not pro-staying experts shunned, rather I was stunned for the outcome, because I never heard anything pro-leaving, or any e

Why can't you be an authority of your CVEs without consulting an American gov agency? I'm sure, VLC org is way more trustworthy for nine out of ten people on the Earth.

Albert Camus' nobel prize acceptance speech is as good, as his best novels. Read it! "Il me reste à vous remercier , du fond du cœur ,et à vous faire publiquement en témoignage personnel de gratitude, la même et ancienne promesse

Thus the article in the NYT, by a Pulitzer prize winner no less, attempting to reconcile trust issues, ends up as a pile of randomly copy-pasted data. I'd say this communication has started on a wrong foot. If a reporter of a huge ne

No, I don't imply that vaccines caused the increase, however, the NYT writers make it seem that vaccination caused it. Also the article doesn't say what part of added mortality is amid the vaccinated people. If your reading was co

The idea, that Facebook has to be split up, is imho delusion of perceived grandeur, and in that respect is not unlike what fb managers seemingly think of the company. An export button in profile will do.

I never could use KDE, because it systematically mistreats words. It's not only typography (few WMs get it right, tbh), but as a language user, I feel uneasy everytime I have to use "Konsole" or "Konqueror".

Please correct me, if I'm wrong. When a non-tech person buys a vpn subscription, she may be provided with a tunneling software, but the key exchange is still happening in the browser. If the site shows a green lock, you can trust the c

Isn't it misleading, to discuss it as a "vpn service"? If you install a binary, that not only controls vpn channel on both sides, but is also a browser, do I understand it right, that it can completely highjack the trust mech

The very existence of this research puzzles me. When I got a cat, I named him "kot" (a male cat in Russian), cause I thought he wouldn't remember it, so why bother. But he learnt it in a week. I just made my own research, for

There's no need to goodfaithsplain Zuck. Nobody cares. As a Russian proverb goes, "we're not gonna christen babies with him". You fuck up, you own it. Owning mistakes gives a hope, that you will learn from them. >>

Posts from the past serve the purpose of integrity. When you delete the old posts because employees, disgruntled for some reason, keep finding gold there, you compromise your integrity, and anyone treats your words as if they're going

English cognate to "atreve" is "attribute". ~ов is an iterative suffix - like ~le or ~er in gamble and chatter. It's useful to know, because you can rationalise why it is always dropped in the present tense - you ca

If you don't have torrent problems, and can cope with a linux server, I recommend renting a vultr instance in Singapore. Install Outline[0], or Streisand[1] software. Beside the copyright anxiety they are awesome. [0]: https:/&#x

It was not the case at the time. Censors were bright guys, including e.g. great writer Goncharov, or Nikitenko, who hadn't written any novels, but left very thoughtful memoires. On many occasions censors of controversial books were rep

Actually the battle scenes in War and Peace were written under significant influence of Stendahl's in la Chartreuse de Parme. I don't know, how the French treat their novelists, but from a Russian perspective, Stendahl's a bi

How is it possible to be backdoored in secret? You would instantly know from a prosecution evidence in court, unless every time they make a parallel construction.

The person who's made the sci-hub is absolutely untolerable, sartre-like not-self-aware communist. But what she does is amazing. I never thought a commissar would teach me some tolerance. (the wind bloweth where it listeth)

Anti-vax is not a "movement". Vax is a movement, and a recent one, always coming along with the government's bayonets. There are few reasons not to vax yourself in Finland, and incidentally there are no anti-vax problems ther

There is no doubt inside Russia, that e.g. DNC leak was a state-sponsored campaign, conducted by the guys in the same department that employed the Salisbury's killers (military intelligence). The fake news trolls all work for a private
