@PawelK personally, I don't like new codecs because my 10yo "smart" tv can't use them. Thanks to our "friends" at LG who think supporting their crap after it leaves the store is unwise :)

After a 3-day pitched battle in the parliament we have a chairman. GERB could not get their initial choice, but they havent really lost. What remains unknown is what did the commies (and in particular their leader) gain from all this. I doubt it will be something good for us all. I also don't think it is something major - as backtracking on the support for Ukraine. We'll see.

Ah, the dread! The company now has a linkedin page and I would be an asshole not to "like" it. I've been avoiding the stupid linkedin for ages. I don't like to keep in touch with people (sorry) and I actually only communicate with a couple of people. If I create this stupid page, it will have maybe 3 linked people. And I'm in the bussiness since 1998...

Moreover, I've been avoiding linkedin and hoping it will die not just because I don't care about "links" but on philosophical grounds - it is not M$'s bussiness to know whom I know, what I do, what I learn etc. This is personal. If I can use a metaphor - in the world of cars I'm an old white indiscriminate van and not one painted in screeming purple with lightning bolts and loud stickers saying "EXPERT!!!!", "EXPERIENCED ARCHITECT!!!", "VISIONARY!!!!". Nor am I willing M$ to peddle me anywhere to anyone... Except that maybe I do, since we are trying to go into this "consulting" thing...

Well, anyway, I hate Microsoft. Also Google. Also Apple. I think these companies are the biggest cheaters and their main produce is bullshit. They managed to bullshit most of the people into buying in into their big pile of shit and now what we all do is shoveling shit all day and there is no end to it, because with the money we give them they continue to produce even more shit... Think of any of their self-serving "services" and "products". Can you name one that you can buy and use however you like, without being restricted or tracked or coralled into some "platform" or coerced to buy a new version that is exactly the same but this time the buttons are somewhat rounder? (and BTW: "we removed this feature for more streamlined experience")

Enough complaining, it's nothing new or original. I think about moving all of the company's repositories from github to gitlab. Perhaps we can also start deploying new projects to linode instead of amazon ec2. It will not move the needle for me even slightly. Now thinking about it, as time passes it's getting harder and harder to step out of the shitpile. The shit has become ubiquitous. I'd very much prefer to write implementations of numerical algorithms in assembly than deal with the ever-changing "sdk"s that objectively achieve only one thing - guarantee that anything you make today will surely break tomorrow.

And if everything breaks so fast (by design), what difference it makes what you did 5 years ago? Or whom you knew or worked with? Why do we need linkedin???

@marathon0 ruZZia is denying their neighbours their sovereignity. They are denying Ukraine the right to exist... It sounds normal to you but I am "a raving lunatic". yeah, sure, buddy

@marathon0 ruZZia is a fscist state. No question. Just read the definition and see - everything checks out.

@marathon0 you know nothing about ruZZia but ya sure it must be fine. ROFLMAO

@marathon0 but of course, ruZZian regime is not fascist... You know a regime is good when their leader stays in power for 22 years - that must mean people love him. And when people change their leders every few years, that means nazi...

@marathon0 But please, let's blame the war in which the fucking orcs were shooting at civilians and children on US and EU, because ... I don't know ... we like living in authocracy maybe. If so many people so love to live under authoritarian swine... Why dont you go live in Iran, ruZZia or in Mianmar? It's easy... or maybe not?

@marathon0 Plus, this is top-tier kremlin propagandist. It's basically what's in the bunker gnome's mind... Can you imagine such a level of insanity from a civilized person? Basically, half of me wants a global nuclear war, just to get rid of these cockroaches

@marathon0 not like in the mafia-run ruZZia/naZi-run ruZZia. Note the can't just admit the fucked up... The honour of the gang leader must be preserved at all cost! Kadirov is threatening to use tactical nuclear weapons... Look him up. This guy is certifiable. Nutjobs all the way up to kremlin. RuZZian peope are fundamentaly fucked up in the head from 100 years bolsheviks rule and centuries of serfdom (which does no differ from slavery). There is no hope for the nation. The empire should be broken up after the war, all the nations under the empire should get sepparate states, and the ruZZians should be forced to learn all the cruel crimes they *collectively* participated in.

@marathon0 here is something close enough: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H7VDmldcV0M&feature=youtu.be

@jmw150 Thank you!

@jmw150 just curiuos about this debate: how it is resolved? Will appreciate any pointers (to articles/discussions etc.)

@marathon0 ruZZia is the only country that never attacks anyone, yet somehow continues to grow as a territory. This "magic" is due mostly to useful idiots like you.
Sincerely,
an eastern European
p.s. I hope some day you will have the "pleasure" of being under ruZZian rule...

@meduza "но без обсуждения статуса аннексируемых территорий" .... So, what's left to talk about? There is only one thing that needs negotiating - the reparations ruZZia must pay after returning the occupied territories (incl. Crimea) and surrendering the guilty war criminals

@watson "They"? Who are "they"?
