"The private sector is where all the innovation happens", he posted using a protocol developed at CERN built on top of communications technology developed by ARPA, on a device powered by technology created for the US Air Force and NASA in the 1960s.

@jasongorman that actually proves this point. You can easily compare Russia and US. They had roughly same military technologies developed at about the same time. In russia thats what they stayed — military. And in US private companies turned them into iphones and laptops. State funding seems to work for fundamental research but is totally unable to turn research into anything but bombs.

@Tallish_Tom @jasongorman that question is too simple to describe my position. Purely factually if we can find at least one case of innovation outside of private sector — the point seems to be factually correct. Furthermore, there was innovation before the concept of private property was even discovered, innovation is inherent to humans no matter where and what they do. BUT the original statement was not factual, it had political implications to it. And I strongly disagree with these.

You guys still didn’t get it. It’s not a choice between supporting or not supporting Ukraine.

It’s a choice between fighting Russia yourself or with money. And it’s not indefinite, if Ukraine loses you will have to fight.

Not because you want to. But because there’s only one kind of invitation you cannot say no to: “let’s go outside”.

France is smart: they are already discussing reinstating general military service. They are preparing. You should too. 1/2

We have a joke in Ukraine: remember there was a time when we worried about ?

It’s a very deep and a very Ukrainian joke. Yours is gonna be “remember there was a time we worried about prices”.

@mjausson @w7voa which will be the end of the current world order as we know it. And US will have to fight China and Russia and Iran and North Korea. Then we’ll see whose skin was not in the game.

Russian priests must daily pray “for the holy russia” (for the victory at war) or be exiled from the russian orthodox church. Like everything in russia, church is just a department of the government.

Catching up on some emails at the kitchen table, while my oldest son eats breakfast…

Him: (pointing to my laptop) That Rubik’s Cube and DVD player have been in the water and gone mouldy.

Me: That’s not a DVD player, mate.

Him: Oh yeah, it’s a radio.

@kravietz daily bombings of Kharkiv clearly show they want to destroy the city and get the people to leave it. It’s heating infrastructure is completely destroyed so winter there will be unbearable. We can observe one of the largest city destructions ever. And it’s a beautiful city too.

Not a single person from all the "oh, stop the war crimes in " crowd posted anything. I would like to say that I'm surprised, but I'm not.

Hezbollah is now launching it's second wave of missiles towards Israel tonight.

I will not be surprised if these waves are meant to exhaust the Israeli air defences before the really dangerous Iranian strike comes later tonight.

Iran has the 14th most powerful army in the world, and some sources compare their military strength to Australia.

@randahl I wouldn’t trust these rankings since seeing what happened to the second army in the world.

The really important question is this: did indecisiveness of the US make Iran so bold? Letting them partner up with Russia does seem to be a screw up.

But there’s a silver lining. We could observe first-hand how Germany-Japan axis was formed during WW2.

Those who don’t know history are bound to repeat it. Those who know history are bound to watch helplessly as it happens.

@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

I don’t get this bs. If Ukraine is attacking Russian oil refineries, it doesn’t affect crude oil production, but decreases refining. This means that Russia is forced to sell MORE crude oil. Which means oil prices go down.

What is affecting oil prices is US’s inability to stop tanker bombings near Yemen. Now THAT affects transportation of crude oil, and hence oil prices go up.

But sure, don’t just leave us without support, but also blame your shit on us, dear allies.

mykhaylo, to telegram
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

So, #telegram today blocked all Ukrainian bots that were used to gather information about the movement of russian forces and also the sightings of drones. All of that because seemingly they breach the terms.

At the same time all the similar russian bots keep working as usual.

I'm afraid it's official — telegram is under #russia. See the post where Durov announced this few days ago.

The world needs something as good as telegram, but independent, like mastodon.

#ukraine #war #propaganda

mykhaylo, (edited )
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

Unexpectedly, today Telegram unblocked officially Ukrainian bots. It might have been a result of pressure through diplomatic channels, but I’m glad they did.

Update: thinking about it a little more, it’s not that unexpected. This already happened when Durov wanted to ban Ukrainian news channels at the start of the war, but changed his mind from the public backlash.

Durov is a Kremlin asset for sure, but not 100% controllable.

If you cut through all the corporate BS, what is the real purpose of Threads on the Fediverse?

Whenever I hear an interview with Meta, they present their intention as “we are all about open source”. But realistically, we all know, they are all about capitalizing on human interaction. So what is the capitalization element in being here?

I get that they open Threads to more content, but as soon as they start poluting their own space with ads, have they not opened and exit door towards Mastodon?
