Yeah, its getting absurd by now. Maybe we should help with the rebranding a lil bit… In Polish I prefer to call it exTwitter, but in English I’d hope calling it just “formerly” will catch on.

If we accept it as a norm there’s nothing more stopping them. You can’t point at one and push him/her out of politics, when it’s a broadly shared assumption they all lie equally. If the cynical position becomes the norm, all trust is obliterated and the society becomes dysfunctional, unable to expect any standards, expectations of positive outcomes. This is to the benefit of the particularly cynical and corrupt in power, it is very much against the society. It also blocks any chances for a self-organised response, as instantly anyone who becomes a leader in any noticeable way, or simply a speaker for any concept or vision is expected to be as corrupt, and so there’s no chance for creating or promoting an alternative.

“Pre-mortem” recording by him and his comrade, with auto generated English subs (understandable, but longish); https://video.echelon.pl/w/ngWvQf2dbC4rmofmnRhEiq

It’d be a shame if some Finlandisation happened to St. Petersburg or as I prefer to call it Pietari. Or Kuril islands and Královec held their referendums… ;]

Could we, maybe, just have him arrested anyway, just in case?

So either are not as effective in building defense

The ones in Zaporozia suggest differently. So more likely it’s about sending pretty much all experienced units to the slaughterhouse.

Everyone wants a cool origin story I guess.

Also we moved from “that looks similar-ish” to analysis of fossiles and their evolution + genetic research.

But I, and thats a fact, know very little about that, and come from times when dinosaurs did not wear any fancy feathers.

Any source for that or is it just preemptive cynicism?

No idea if this can be secure in any reasonable way, but one way communication based on cheap devices and available frequencies could be quite attractive for activist mass mobilisations, or disaster releasee 🤔

Had the same thought. Being ridden with tungsten balls or just random metal scraps, with normal car roof offering as much protection as a blanket… Chances anyone there survived that are minimal.

Would that factor in the [unknown] costs of that revenue? Running all the servers (incl youtube), offices and staff aint cheap. So more likely some is paying enough to leave 23USD on top of massive costs.

I’m quite disappointed thats not the theme of this article, and my evening is ruined.

Pretty sure there’s a bunch of Ukrainians seriously discussing FPV AA rockets by now.

Thats this centralised alternative to Mastodon with a madman admin? Anyone still uses that?

Outrageous. Time to pack her up and head for a obligatory 5 day family rave.

Seems to be a pretty hardcore place;

China seems to be waging a influence war against Nepal, so I wouldent be that surprised if Tiktok was used as a weapon there.
