Another aspect that people ought to consider: monopoly is actually bad. Shocker, I know.
But if you have a corporate browser engine that pretty much controls the entire browser market, then whatever standard that browser implements it will automatically become the default. That's bad, Google is evil.

Is Biden administration preparing the ground to abandon Ukraine?

1st of all, Presstv.ir is Iranian state tv, so LOL, LMAO even.
2nd of all, no

The long-awaited Ukrainian counter-offensive is now finally here - though it does not seem to be very successful
However, instead of penetrating past the Russian defenses, Ukraine has been struggling.
Nearly a week into the counter-offensive, only minuscule gains have been made
Not only is it a military defeat for Ukraine, but it is a marketing catastrophe for NATO.

Ever since he counteroffensive began Putin and his ilk have been squealing like rabid little rats, trying their best to demoralize Ukraine and Ukraine's partners.
That'd be Uncle Vova's wettest dream, that's what he hopes for right now, to hold on until Ukraine's partners start to give up on their support.
Ain't gonna happen, you slimy little rats.

Sorry, I don't tend to value the "opinions" of employees of a Islamist theocracy that beats, rapes and kills people because they show too much keratin and that displeases their mass-murdering pedo-god.
But, by all means, if women beaters are your preferred crowd, you're free to roleplay as their western keyboard warrior.

That being said, feel free next time to also address the content of my comment, not just do some cheap ad hominem attacks.
I look forward to watching more of your ilk squirm and squeal as Ukrainians liberate more and more land from imperialist, genocidal Russian invaders.

Kisses.

Oh, found a post by the admin of that instance, it's from a week ago

Boy oh boy, @gaylord you're in for a fun time there, bud

Interviewing Ukraine's Far-Right Soldiers (EDIT: by a left-wing youtuber and no the interviewed is not a Nazi, by a long shot)

Reply in thread

I don't blame them that much for the downvotes, a lot of people are weary or suspicious when Ukraine's far right topic is addressed.
But not because they want to deny its existence, but because that its existence has been weaponized by Russians as a justification for their invasion, genocide, tortures, rapes and overall warcrimes.
And especially with how some western leftists (Hello Hasan) have treated the issue, or how it was used by tankies, fascists, vatniks and all sorts of such people to attack and diminish Russia's action, it is pretty understandable their reaction.

That being said, Dylan has been on the side of Ukraine since the very beginning, one of the few genuine left-leaning western folks, and this interview is very informative. Looking forward tot he second part.

Brexit has failed - we must now return to the centre of Europe, Lord Heseltine says

Reply in thread

You don't have to wonder, he's on video talking about it barely a month ago: https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/1658234370409263106
Saying of course that brexit has failed but not because brexit was bad in it of itself, but because the British politicians are as useless as the EU Comission and that they've totally mismanaged it.

Basically it's the "real brexit hasn't been tried yet" kind of rhetoric.

I heard it from someone (not me) that they've been using a modded spotify app downloaded from apkmody.io for more than a year now and it's basically free spotify premium. They (again, not me) say its pretty damn good, unbelievably good actually. They (NOT me) are pretty happy with it.
