It's getting better with France and UK pushing to drop that "not escalate" demagoguery in favor of actually facing the problems. And it's helping. Macron surprisingly was very on point about using the uncertainty tactic

Russia can't ramp up production sufficiently - not for the scale of war that Putin is waging now. And this is only going to get worse for them. It's a key factor - shortages will kill its military potential eventually. While allie

Russia can win the war of attrition only if allies stop backing Ukraine, which is exactly what Russia hopes to achieve through bought shills and "useful idiots" like those who delayed aid for Ukraine in US Congress for instance an

Even those percentages of dropping oil profits can be pretty crippling for Putin. Especially since they can repeatedly hit what Putin wastes resources on repairing. And they should continue doing that even more. But they surely need more ef

Ukraine hitting oil processing plants in Russia using drones has been pretty effective in increasingly crippling Putin's money making machine that feeds his war. And sea drones already practically removed Russian navy from openly opera

I think freerdp is a better option since it has integration with Wayland and even some Wayland DEs are adopting it as remote access feature.

It got over most of the blockers it seems, but it's really monstrous in scope.

What else would you expect from anti-user malware. Players run such garbage at their own risk.

The linked content directly leads to what I said. Gnome developers should address this of course (and they don't want to), but I'll repeat recommendation for the end user - use KDE and avoid Gnome. It has been so not just because

That's not political views. That's just what it is. If you want to engage in demagoguery about technicalities of the currency, overlooking the actual goal behind it (assisting Putin's war) especially with masking it under mut

I already explained it above, but to summarize: depending on global economy undermines Putin's ability to wage war. Having self sufficient economy enables his war. He can't be 100% self sufficient in practice, so he wants to widen

I'm not interested in the economic health of Russian Federation which is a fascist state with a maniac running it. That's why I'd say anyone sane should be against any projects like BRICS too.

You can't separate one from another. It's like imagine Nazi Germany would have invented "currency for the Axis". That's about it. What's the point in debating its technical merits, except for analysis of how it

Not really. Ruble is completely dead to begin with for all intents and purposes. Decentralized currency is simply better in comparison. So, yeah, they should totally adopt the ruble ;)

BRICS exists as an attempt by Putin and Co. to reduce dependency on global economy. Given Putin is waging what's basically a WW III, BRICS is simply his tool of war (not really effective and DOA in practice, but still). So as above, an

Why would anyone trust anything where Russia is involved. It's like "currency of the Axis" or something.

Likely a declarative way to specify dependencies. But not sure if make as a tool for that is the best option in general.

That's not an argument against parallelism in game design in general.

A lot of Youtube videos I saw don't have AV1 option (check with yt-dlp --list-formats). So are they going to re-encode everything now?

I never got complaints about systemd. A few times I had to deal with writing custom unit files, it wasn't hard to figure out.

Exactly. Other use case is just more modular even if dependencies are sometimes tangled unnecessarily.

They can easily claim that. Since keys are numbers anyway. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Speech_Flag But as easily as they can claim it, as easily it can be defeated if everyone massively ignores it and
