There are some things that do change. In my case, it says my window manager is sway when it is actually river. So certain things will stop working as expected if it is not maintained. This is different from a game, because as systems change, it doesn’t affect how the game works if the platform it runs on can be emulated. In a sense, the game is still being updated because the emulators required to use it are being updated.

Ok, I’ll bite

1. How has Russia invaded Transnistria? Transnistria was a breakaway region during the collapse of the Soviet union, similar to Gagauzia
2. No one disputes that Chechnya is Russian territory. Russia cannot invade its own territory.
3. Georgian military intended to genocide ethnic minorities. Russia supported the autonomy of said minorities.
4. Crimea was given to Ukraine by Kruschev very recently. It is almost entirely ethnically Russian, and those ethnic Russians voted overwhelmingly to secede during a coup/constitutional crisis as the alternative was staying in a country where there culture and language are banned, or worse become the target of hate crimes from neo-nazi battalions as many cases are well-documented

Might as well block me too while you’re at it

Russia can then ingest Ukraine, continue to seed political distrust in Western countries and then potentially start another war in Europe a few years later.

Holy shit this is the most mapgame-brained comment of all time. You mean Russia will get enough war score to annex Ukrainian territories, wait a few years for aggressive expansion to die down, spend some admin points to press the “sow discontent” button, then war when the casus belli is ready? Like a classic EU4 blob?

Stop gaming and read some books.

I’m not against bloat, I just want it to be MY bloat

Lee-bruh

This is how I always sounded it in my head. Issue is, it sounds exactly like “libra”

Ok, that’s sort of what I figured. I’ll probably do that going forward. Thanks

New to linux. I tried this same thing in a virtual machine. I got a lot of stuff to work, but it seems like any services and daemons have to be installed on xbps because the ones from nix can’t be enabled for Runit, or at least require doing that in a different way. So I would install those services through XBPS and everything else with Nix-Env which was enough to get a WM up, but I kept running into issues installing other things.

Now I’m running Void directly on my computer and I’m sticking to XBPS and so far it has gone a lot smoother, but I’ve heard about this Void + Nix thing a lot, but never really seen mentioned what the recommended approach to that is

This should apply to Windows 10 as well right? How soon will this take affect?

But it excludes asexual people /s

How else can it be interpreted?

Exponential increase that has been slow for decades, but is just now starting to ramp up?

lmao

I though side sleeping was supposed to be best for you?

They’re “communist” in name only.

This despite having 2/3 of the countries GDP in SOEs and 60-90% of the workforce in SOEs, having 5 year plans, and political leadership primarily under a Communist party. Why do so many people think communism is only when everyone makes the same paycheck or when the economy is managed bureaucratically?

Line 548! is insane. I can’t even imagine a number that big.

The “murdered woman” you are referring to appears to be alive actually. This seems to be just another “Ghost of Kiev” “Nayirah testimony” “snake island 13” “Reichstag fire” “Mariupol drama theater” story. You Redditors really just gobble up whatever sob story the media gives you with no critical thinking at all, don’t you?

Obviously Israel is the original aggressor

How does bombing residential buildings in Gaza help Israel fight terrorism?

Not me

I think you’re wrong actually. The map in question does not seem to use the ISW data.

This is the point you are referring to from ISW: https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-july-23-2023

(Aside, According to this arcticle, your 54% is not an actual hard percentage, but an estimate. From their own words, they measure the area of the map using Mercator projection, and state using a different projection would give you a different estimate. They don’t correct for projection error in their measurement, which as I pointed out earlier, biases the figure towards overestimating the recaptured territory in the north, and underestimating the area still under Russia’s control in the south. )

But compare LiveUA map to the timelapse here. Their data shows large areas under Russian control that are not shown as recaptured on the LiveUA map. I should not have said “looks like” when it is clear from the map that the red area, minus Crimea and pre-2022 DPR and LPR, is still much larger than the blue area.

Saying 50% has been recaptured is contingent upon how much territory Russia actually controlled in the Kharkiv and Kiev areas during the first few weeks of the war. This figure is insanely variable based on who you ask. In those first few weeks, Russian propagandists would greatly overstate how much territory in the north had been captured. In reality, Russia went into the northern area with a very small force and captured a few highways. If you paint with a very broad brush, all of the surrounding area came under Russian control, even if Russian troops never had a presence there. But that does not correspond to the strict reality.
