THEYRE FUCKING DOING IT LETS GOOO

Horrible… I hope Iran has the resources to double down on its missile strikes compared to operation true promise 2. And I hope they’ve got a clandestine aspect to their nuclear program as a contingent. There’s really no better guarantor of sovereignty or defense against invasion, as proven by the example of the DPRK, and counterexamples of the Libyan jamahariya and Baathist Iraq

Recent assaults on Chasiv Yar and Pokrovsk have proved that Russia is prepared to expend troops, weapons and time trying to capture cities even if they have little strategic value.

It’s so funny to me that every contested city is the turning point of the war and the keystone to Ukrainian defenses until the moment Russia is poised to seize it, when it becomes a useless objective, little more than dirt, low strategic value etc. It happened with Avdiivka, Bakhmut, and now with Pokrovsk and Chasiv Yar. If these settlements have so little tactical value then why are the Banderites expending so many men and resources to defend them in the first place…

“The center of gravity for this war is not terrain—the place where it’s being decisively waged is the perception space in Western capitals,” said Barros.

GrapheneOS is a security focused project so they only publish for devices which meet their hardware security requirements. In the past this included a few non Google devices, but as of today only Pixels meet those requirements in the Android space. The Fairphone has poor hardware security

I absolutely recommend switching to Linux, it’s a truly liberating computing experience. However if you have to stick on windows and want to go LTSC, this document from massgrave makes it really easy and even provides the direct ISO download from Microsoft.

Let’s start the hexbear coding coop and make our own jobs

I went to school for CS out of passion, computers and software have been my bread and butter since I was a kid. Currently on month 7 of the job hunt with no bites. I got another degree in math for similar reasons, but job prospects from that are pretty slim too. It’s a grim landscape; there’s work to be done and a need for more workers, but it’s more profitable to bleed the existing workforce white than to hire new people in any real quantity. And they lean on “AI” as an excuse for the hiring freezes but the reality of that grift is obvious; it’s all just bluster and excuses to pad the margins.
