@noelreports South Korea has a lot of Soviet-era tanks it doesn't need anymore...

@FediThing @djh @parismarx But isn't the amount of delivered renewable energy bound mostly by money? There already were ideas from AI companies to invest in nuclear energy to ensure they have enough energy for AI use. If they poured all that money into building up renewables, we'd see renewables grow even quicker. That would be ideal.

Unfortunately there is the risk of AI bros being discouraged from massive investments into renewables by their fossil fuel friends.

@VoxClamans @noelreports NATO can always decide to be more flexible and let Ukraine join under special conditions. For example, declaring only certain parts of Ukraine to be under articles 4 and 5.

@zaufanatrzeciastrona @panoptykon @Watchdog_Polska Pewnie dobrze o tym wiecie, ale na wszelki wypadek powiadamiam.

@pieist @noelreports Abrams can be destroyed by drones, but so can any other tank without an active protection system. A tank that can be destroyed is still way better than no tank.

@MugsysRapSheet @fsfe Government paying to have software written specifically for a private company, without any benefit for the public would be a misuse of taxpayer money. But for you (as a programmer, not taxpayer or citizen) nothing changes - you get paid to write software. If you think the pay is too low or the goal is unethical, simply refuse.

@GreenFire @noelreports They were very clearly firing at that guy, first trying to hit him and then to suppress him. This is the exact opposite of "wasted". A random American uses up more ammo on a short visit to the range.

@noelreports So far, I only saw Russian trolls making up stories about how Poland is full of rich Ukrainians who don't want to fight.

Social benefit cuts might be aimed at getting men to return to Ukraine (which Ukraine wants too) and at saving some money, which current Polish government is desperately trying to do.

@GreenFire @noelreports Bullets are cheap, lives are expensive.

@chowderman @noelreports Sounds more like an ultimatum to me.

@MugsysRapSheet @fsfe The author already got compensation when the government paid them. If you work for a company, do you get extra compensation for each new software copy sold by the company? Or when the company sells the source code? Or when the company opens the code? Of course not. You agreed to transfer copyright to the company and got paid for writing code. That's it.

@crazyeddie @fsfe It's the same as with any other government information: some can be specifically classified if there's a good reason, anything else should be public.

@Edizionilazio @noelreports Ukraine's demography was already grim. Then, war made it much worse. Young men dying before having children will mess it up even more.

@Watchdog_Polska Dzięki za odpowiedź, poczytam sobie. :)

@Gurre @noelreports Problem is that he doesn't have much choice, as he wants to stay in power, but the west doesn't like dictators.

@dacig @noelreports Ideally we should properly arm Ukraine (many units lack weapons like IFVs or tanks) and allow it to hit important targets: airfields, ammo storage, etc. If the West lacks own weapons (US doesn't), it could for example buy Soviet-era tanks from India or South Korea (India has 2200 tanks for sale). Russia would realize it won't make further gains, only incur costs, and start negotiations. After the war, defensive pacts with Ukraine to prevent Russia from starting another war.

@zaufanatrzeciastrona Typowy polityk.

1. Musimy coś zrobić.
2. To jest coś.
3. Dlatego musimy to zrobić.

@msbellows @noelreports This kind of material helped me truly solidify how evil and inhumane war is at its core. It's real, it's happening, and we need to stop it. Not just pause it, achieve a ceasefire, but to reach a state where it won't reignite again.

These people are writhing in pain, whether you see it or not. Only if you see it, you can do something about it.
