It makes more sense than maga though. I don’t forsee them changing an english acronym into cyrillic, and that is the only way there could have been an error
Yes, these are the weakest possible threats that absolutely pale in comparison to the unfettered zionist propaganda coming from almost every USAian news source and almost every USAian politician.
At least where I work, the developers who actually wrote the code would probably never see it. We have service staff that deal with an initial problems reported from customers. They’d likely figure out someone actually entered those values.
They are quite well seasoned. But it’s also worth noting they are developers as well because the job usually has you debugging things or writing code that needs to be run for the specific customer. Not a large amount of code, but just things that end up being specific to a customer.
And if they have to come to a developer that actually works on the product, it’s usually a pain to try and figure out what is going on. Thankfully, this is very uncommon.
Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville. Haven’t read anything for ages so took the opportunity to get back into it on a lazy holiday. Highly recommend this book, or any by China, if you enjoy dense sci-fi.
The West should just adopt the same tactics for Russian social media channels (VK, Telegram, etc), regular civilian groups if the state does not want to resort to it. Feed Russia some of their own medicine.
I hope you're aware the West isn't just the US (or worse, that republicans are in control of the entire West), and neither are the information related to this leak just about the US.
You don't need highly skilled intelligence officers to pour disinformation into social media. The largest hurdle is the language barrier but aside from that it would be doable by people like you and me. The last decade or so really showed how easy it actually is, because there's just enough gullible useful idiots who buy into this shit, helping to spread it even further.
Hence why I suggested private groups. We've seen it successfully in Germany from the other side with groups like Reconquista Germanica, which completely changed German comment sections to the worse since the refugee crisis. People need to organize and pool their knowledge into their own networks to destabilize Russia.
“The West” would have to start giving a fuck what goes on in who-gives-a-fuck-istan to have that happen. The warfare is asymmetric because only one side has an open society anyone else is actually interested in. No one in “The West” outside of the CIA ever thinks about Russia when they aren’t putting their dick in the punchbowl.
You should look up regime change and color revolution. The US openly speaks about subverting and supplanting democratic governments in other countries if they don’t align with their foreign policy goals. And they have done it many times.
What Russia is doing is despicable but “they learned it from watching US”.
Color revolution = “What do you mean those countries don’t want to be friends of Russia? Woke culture is out of control: you run a few thousand people over with tanks and they take it personally!”
Just started House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski on a recommendation from a friend, I’m a couple of chapters in and so far it’s been pretty interesting
This reminds me of der rote liste, the big directory of all pharmaceutical drugs. during the 90s I opened the huge book on random pages and read the details of ~200 drugs. i concluded that maybe 1/50 prescription drugs are truly beneficial.
I wonder if Russians are aware of the ways Putin enriches himself off of Russian poverty and suffering. Let’s make sure they know how to solve that problem.
You can’t comprehend how psychologically broken Russians are, they’ve had centuries of lies with 0 truth, they just learned to accept whatever, because they know the alternative could always be a gunshot (or open window nowadays).
I’m really, truly not trying to be flippant. But welcome to the first taste of adulthood. What you plan for your life and what your life becomes are very different things. I am not who I expected to be. I am not in the career I expected. I don’t have the same interests I expected, and I only have like 2 friendships from my high school days that I’ve really maintained.
But the thing is, none of that is necessarily bad. I enjoy my job, but as a high schooler “municipal development” wasn’t a career to dream about, even though it can be very satisfying.
I have different friends and interests, but they’re not worse. It’s just that the world broadens as you age.
You can’t really know who you are until the training wheels come off. That’s where you’re headed by the sound of it. Is it scary and stressful? Absolutely. But when you come out of it you’ll be the person you are, not the person somebody expects you to be.
The 20s were an amazing time where everything in my life got flipped around more than once. Now that I’m a few decades past it, I can better appreciate how much I grew in that time.
