@iska@mstdn.starnix.network I'm typing this using a laptop from 2013🤣 But good enough for me is not how it works. Being able to use tech on par in terms of performance with what was available to everyone 9 years ago just won't cut it. True, you may benefit from imposing trade restrictions in short term, but not in the long run. If you lack the tech edge the gap will only increase. And sanctions don't work like cutting off water to your house, so it's JUST three months. The future looks grim, but I might be wrong 😅
