Zedstrian , to world in Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war'

When billions of dollars worth of equipment is shipped to Ukraine, that’s billions of dollars going to the American military industrial complex. Some of them might prefer if Russia weren’t dramatically weakened, so as to still have something to point to when lobbying for additional military spending.

No need, Firefox buffer settings (media.cache) can be adjusted via the about:config page.

Zedstrian , to technology in Online Content Is Disappearing

The difference is that most of that content lasted for at least a few decades, if not centuries before being lost to time. As content on the internet is ‘destroyed’ if no one hosts it any more, a lot of valuable content is being lost in just a few years after being created. Archiving needs to be more widespread and better supported if the resources and culture of the internet as it has evolved over time are to be preserved for posterity.

Zedstrian , to world in Elections opportunity for Kurdish-Turkish de-escalation – US think tank (May 8th, 2023)

The Turkish government’s the one with all the cards; if it were at all interested in the rights of its ethnic minorities, it would recognize the Armenian genocide and grant the Kurds their long sought independence.

Zedstrian , to world in Gunmen kill 3 Western tourists, translator in central Afghanistan

I get that, but if even the most interesting historical landmark in the world were being operated by a terrorist group, that alone is reason enough to pick another travel destination, in my opinion. Human rights aside, situations such as this demonstrate the safety risks that come with visiting such destinations.

It’s a shame that there hasn’t been extensive political support within Afghanistan itself to oust the Taliban, as I’m sure it would have tremendous tourism potential, given its historical landmarks and central location in Eurasia, if only it were safe to visit.

‘Allegedly’; can’t discount the possibility that they could have tripped onto a bullet, can we? /s

Zedstrian , to technology in Reddit brings back its old award system — ‘we messed up’

“Genius! Who would’a thought? 10,000 extra shares in your bonus this year!”

Zedstrian , to world in Gunmen kill 3 Western tourists, translator in central Afghanistan

Who would go on vacation in central Afghanistan knowing that the Taliban is in control?

Zedstrian , to technology in Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows

I have mine configured as a background service with a Rainmeter desktop widget to play music at a moment’s notice. Works better than any official Windows option.

Zedstrian , to world in France riles allies by inviting Russia to D-Day commemoration

Clearly not; I just meant that we should at the very least not be weakening the spirit of the sanctions even in the slightest by sending Russia diplomatic invitations to events.

Zedstrian , to world in Russia lacks 'numbers for strategic breakthrough' in Ukraine: NATO

They could still hold onto the land and Ukrainian population they’ve taken so far. Anything less than Ukraine regaining Crimea and the rest of its territory will not only be a loss for them, but would tell the Russian government that the West would rather appease them than let allow a conflict to escalate further. Appeasement didn’t work on Hitler, and it won’t work on Putin either.

Zedstrian , to world in U.S. governors urge Turks and Caicos to release Americans as Florida woman becomes 5th tourist arrested for ammo in luggage

If I were one of them, the NRA would be the last group I’d want advocating for my release…

Zedstrian , to world in EU suspends 4 more Russian propaganda outlets

Given the number of people in today’s world that rely on social media instead of well-sourced (or better-sourced, at least) publications for ‘reliable’ sources, it’s highly important to minimize the extent to which such platforms can be used to manipulate the outcomes of elections.

Zedstrian , to world in France riles allies by inviting Russia to D-Day commemoration

Sanctioning Russia should take any and all forms until they stop their assault on Ukraine. They’ve made it clear that they’re not acting in good faith, so extending that to them is five steps short of appeasement.
