Russia Destroyed Mariupol in 2022. Now It Tries to Convince People That the City Is Better Than Ever

Reply in thread

USAID was a very real CIA front. Can you separate art from the artist which programs were really beneficial, and which weren't? I can't and taking aid from possibly poisoned source isn't so great of an option. Obviously possibly bad help better than none and trump's motivation to close it isn't clear for me nor do I want to try to decipher what that person thought at the time.

Rootless, better integrated with system, a bit faster and lighter on resources. Also it supports k8s style yaml configuration both ways and a lot of people are more familiar with them and they also provide some (minimal) interoperability.

Zelenskyy says Putin may mobilize ‘hundreds of thousands’ after Russia’s elections

Time is worth more than fake legitimacy

Heavily depends, for m*scovians it isn't. They rarely work by pragmatic reasoning, if they did we wouldn't have had this war at all.

Capability matters as much as raw numbers do. What even is a theory of victory at this point?

Overhelm what little defence still there (yeah there is a projection of power and "we are stronk" vibes but really most critical parts of the frontline aren't in a good position and recieve little attention because everything is gray area and there is no sexy videos to make), regular terror attacks that destroy limited civilian infra that still holds (energy generation suffered a lot in these years and DTEK are miracle workers, but they can't make something from nothing and a lot of civilian economy is dying) so they hope that this winter they succeed and Ukraine capitulates. Also our leadership already is ready to capitulate for a long time, like all those ceasefire agreements that Ze proposes they are in essence capitulation, just not on the terms that r*ssians find agreeable.

Infiltration - understood that it looks like progress in a war where not much else is going well for you. But it’s also not compatible with their war aims.

Infiltration is a single part of the working strategy, it's not just infantry infiltration and that's it. Infantry infiltrates and blocks/kills infantry, then pilots move in, then heavier equipment. It doesn't always work, but it works in general.

I don’t think the average Russian is a mindless tank mine runner.

Nobody cares about what average r*ssian is or isn't. Suicide runners is part of what they do, mines are activated remotely, so a runner have no say in it, lol. Again you are under impression that they prosecute war reasonably and pragmaticly, they aren't.

Obviously my opinions are biased by both hate and limited to bambas point of view.

Probably as good as it can, you shouldn't use docker compose with podman anyway, there are two alternatives (quadlets - they describe everything as a systemd units and kube yaml - they use standard k8s yaml files including pods, deployments, secrets, etc.), both arguably better than compose.

A question for GNOME/KDE users

I'm sticking with KDE because I like to have some say in how my computer behaves, like I prefer to have a sidepanel with useful things and not top panel with calendar. I also like to have window buttons like minimize, maximize, close, pin, etc.
