You’ve never heard of people responding to rule breaking with rule breaking of their own? Your assertion that it has no military advantage is flat out wrong, this attack has a military advantage. It brings the fight closer to Putin and requires them to divert forces. It also makes the Russian people more likely to revolt against the war.
Are you like an anti-historian or are you just trying to be uselessly hyperbolic?
The only people who know why the target was chosen are probably not hanging out on Lemmy.
But really there’s no reason whatsoever to put restrictions on the smaller weaker country who is being invaded. War is hell. Russian civilians can rise up against Putin if they don’t feel safe in their own country. 100% of this is on Putin.
That might be your bank. My bank is as annoying as you describe, but it is as secure as you’re saying it should be. 2FA, they hold up suspicious purchases to see if it’s really me, I can lock and unlock my cards from the app. Smaller banks tend to be the way to go, or credit unions if you have a good one nearby.
All those disclaimers are out there for liability purposes. It is highly unlikely that you will brick your phone as long as you follow the instructions and avoid making any modifications to the way the hardware runs (do not overclock, do not underclock etc).
Having read the book, if you read it for that purpose, it would work, it just uses playing pool as a medium for that.
Yeah, I did download a few SW engineering books, but I haven’t gotten to them. I’ve been reading Chris Hadfields books, the Apollo Murders and and Astronauts guide to life on Earth, a few cooking books like The Food Lab, The Wok, Salt Fat Acid and Heat, Mi Cochina, and some books on playing pool like The Pleasures of Small Motions.
You joke, but Reddit did something to piss me off a few months before the current fuckery, and I decided to find an alt and there weren’t really any, like I found Mastodon but that’s more of a Twitter replacement, never encountered this site while searching. What I ended up doing was downloading a bunch of books and putting them on my phone, then putting the books app where my Apollo app used to be on my homescreen. Now, more often than not, when I go to scroll, I end up just opening a book. I’ve got a little over 40 on there, they keep my progress, even across devices, and they work when there’s no signal so I no longer have to fear public toilets with shitty cell signal lol.
pseudo-profound bullshit
That sounds like every single public statement he’s ever made.
Reddit has ads? lol block that shit.
It’s a useful skill to have, predicting what people wanna hear. There’s a guy who manages the place I play pool. He’s a bit of a dick, enough I don’t wanna spend time in his company, but staying on his good side means my time spent there is more enjoyable. None of our conversations are ever of consequence and they never last more than 15 seconds because he doesn’t like people (he literally wears a hat that says “I hate people” to his job where his responsibility is the management of people). So I just treat him like a dramatic subreddit and say what I think he wants me to say and as a result, he treats me slightly better than the rest of the people there.
You can easily accumulate karma just by saying what everyone obviously wants you to say. I have 4 Reddit accounts with 6 figure karma and trust me, unless it’s about a topic I am familiar with, what I have to say isn’t any more insightful than some other person who has no or negative karma.
Make sure you’re willing to abruptly lose your Reddit account if you do. Reddit admins are being pretty cunthroat about this all.
Yeah, they’re gonna keep ruining Reddit while we steadily migrate here. We’re just being a pain in the ass on our way out.
I mean, that’s just happening in your head, we hate the Russian government and the subset of the Russian people who support it. Hating some rando for being Russian is still wrong.
