he was on a plane that crashed in Russia today, possibly because it collided with a a2a missile.

Hahaha.

Also, per the BBC’s reporting:

Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

Surprisingly not surprising.

Say what you will about the guy, he’s got more experience shooting down civilian jets than almost anyone.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

Air defense was also active around Moscow, where it allegedly shot down a plane full of mercenaries.

He’s a private citizen at this point, he can go meet politicians in other countries if he wants.

Ok, but that caption is completely wrong about what, “the dictatorship of the proletariat,” means.

I like that they had to bring Ukraine into it for no apparent reason.

FWIW, this isn’t the first mention I’ve heard of Ukraine using S-200s for ground targets. See here. It’s certainly plausible.

I wonder what that building is.

Everyone who uses Chrome (or Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, or anything else that uses Chromium as a base) - you’re helping google extend their power over the open web, and those helping them do this.

It’s a small thing, but Google’s power over the web derives from each of the the millions of people who continue to make Chrome the standard that webdevs cater to.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, also maybe we could get rid of election apps.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

You’re looking too narrowly. By getting devs to cater to whatever gets rolled out in Blink and v8, google extends the power they have over the whole ecosystem by making any browser that doesn’t follow them look “broken” (as opposed to, not slavishly following everything google does).

It also increases the difficulty of making a competing browser engine by adding tons of complexity (for questionable value), only further entrenching google’s dominance. But at least you get some stupid new CSS3 behaviors (that people will bitch about not working in Firefox or Safari) so I guess it’s worth it.

China is markedly worse than the US, though.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

As an American, I can say that my government sucks for invading Iraq and Afghanistan and face no repercussions. I did so before those wars and have done so repeatedly since.

As a Chinese citizen, I can be arrested for singing a song about Hong Kong. Or saying that Tibet isn’t China, or that Taiwan should be left alone. God forbid I ask about what’s happening in Xinjiang. Or what happened in Beijing in 1989, or why the Great Leap Forward resulted in so many deaths of my countrymen. Or practicing Flaun Dafa, or whatever else.

Nobody is saying the US is perfect: the US has its problems, we can and should be better. But China is never honest about their shit and punishes people who are. China’s markedly worse than the US.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

I have free speech rights under the constitution. That’s not the case in China.

Don’t shift the goal posts - there’s a huge difference between the countries, and China is strictly worse.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

The US didn’t take over Tibet and resettle Han Chinese there (that’s genocide, deliberately destroying a culture ). The US isn’t committing a genocide on the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. The US isn’t imprisoning and executing Falun Dafa adherents.

The US allows us to make changes for the better. We can stand for office and become ta source of change, we can band together as citizens to make change. Our system isn’t perfect, but it is dramatically better than China’s, all your cynicism aside.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

China’s system led to invasions, wars, and mass murder. China’s system has no way for the citizens to do anything about it. The US system does, and citizens have forced change repeatedly throughout US history.

And to reiterate, the US government is not perfect and still does bad things. But it’s entirely better than China’s.

Genocides are ok if they’re “domestic affairs”? That’s a bad case of brainworms, kid.

Edit: more accurate quote

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

A former intel officer testified to a house committee that the US has had a UFO retrieval program for years, and that we’ve recovered non-human “biologics” from the crash sites. He has no direct knowledge of anything, by his own admission, but he’s willing to provide more detail to congress in a secure facility.

I’ll keep the possibility open, I guess, but it sounds like absolute bullshit for a variety of reasons.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

Hitting a pasture and landing in cow shit would account for “non-human biologics.” I’m incredibly skeptical.

I assumed it was downvoted by people who see China as being largely a state capitalist economy with a nominally socialist/communist government, whom I would guess are primarily lefties. Contrary to seeing it as western propaganda, they’d see it as Chinese propaganda as it pretends that the country is something it really isn’t.

This is only a possible view, of course.

He announced the rebranding in a tweet sent last Saturday in the middle of the night. You know, like any competent business person would.

A Reddit spokesperson declined to comment about this year’s edition of r/Place, telling Polygon via email “redditors are going to reddit.”

Honestly, that’s probably the best response he could’ve given.

They’ll probably try to emulate Fr*nce and preemptively nuke Germany in response to Soviet Russian aggression.

fist_of_fartitude ,
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh, don’t get me wrong - it’s a perfectly good plan - but can see why the Germans might be wary.

They’d benefit by letting Russia get stomped to death, then taking Siberia for themselves.

If you put that in ammo storage, it’d probably do some damage. Plus, they apparently locked down most of the firefighting equipment on the Moskva to prevent theft, so any emergencies are likely to get craptastic responses.

But, really, we should do an experiment.

Too dangerous for use? So, probably already deployed in Ukraine.
