@safiuddinkhan Is there Area 41 though?
@jesopo Not enough cool cats? 🤷

Welcome to Russia! Welcome to the Future!

Ah, that might be tricky… 🥺
@DotardTed
Just when I was typing this, there were "breaking news" on 🇷🇺 TV about how the info was carefully planted by Russia — I'm not sure what they were referring to, the original info or the poor PS'd pages. Some gut feeling hints at the latter😅
Unlike everyone else, KGB always tries to misinfo the ones who are inside, not the ones abroad. They might have used it to cause distrust between 🇺🇸 and 🇺🇦, but it looks too well carried out for me to believe 😏

@DotardTed
Sure, that would be the most obvious and most effective thing to do… and 🇷🇺 have been preparing for exactly that (although I'm not sure what they have been preparing to with those trenches in Crimea, Normandy-like coastline breach?🤨), but now that the "leak" is out — central command has no idea of what's going to happen ("Win-win-win, don't lose") and 🇷🇺 poor communication, field commanders might be even more at loss about what's going to happen.

@kaia The only reason I use Thunderbird on my laptops is that ssh connection to host running mutt is severed every time the computer goes offline. Thunderbird caches stuff so I have some access to my e-mails offline. Maybe I should just set up a two-way sync of the e-mail directory with the host that has all my mail, run mutt locally and get rid of TB — it just causes excess disk IO and, if you mod it with userChrome.css to not look like shit, it gets slow and becomes total garbage to use 😩
@neural_meduza И стал Банкетным? Не лучшая стратегия, редко помогает на суде. Ну, хоть что-то…
@DotardTed
100% with you on this one, the "leak" might have been intentional. Some info looks valid from Russian standpoint so the bait was taken. And now they are not sure what is true and what isn't — the resources are spread too thin. Total disarray might be even more effective than feeding false info.

@neural_meduza Органы для трансплантации как социальное обеспечение? Ну, всяко лучше мешка лука, плаката Единой России или пельменей. Хотя нет, последнее вычеркните, это спорный момент.
@th3rdsergeevich
Конечно можно! Просто бит мог не всем понравиться, да и фристайл у «российского коллеги» хромает 😅
@neural_meduza
@neural_meduza Ну а куда взятку прятать? Логично.
@neural_meduza Ну вроде как похоже на настоящую новость 🤷
Went looking for http-accept syntax trying to fix this shit and you know what? This is the example Mozilla themselves give in their docs — prefer WebP over everything else: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept
Here:
// Multiple types, weighted with the quality value syntax:
Accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, application/xml;q=0.9, image/webp, */*;q=0.8
Why the fsck they suck up to Google so much and why do independent developers support this Google abomination? 😩
Just updated my Nitter instance from GitHub and when I tried using it I noticed that nearly all images and video previews are gone. My first idea was that something's wrong with the CSS as I didn't update those. Did that — didn't fix the problem so I fired up network monitor in Firefox and noticed that it tries to retrieve all images in WebP format 🤯
grepped Nitter's source and that's it — it's what it does now and it's not even an option, it's hardcoded like that!
@gemlog Societies are polarized everywhere and gov'ts aren't against that — it's safer when people fight each other instead of collective action against gov't bullshit.
But in Russia it gets absolutely ridiculous — young people who have no idea of what's conservative and what's progressive are eager to have opinions on transgenders or guns, it's just safer to discuss first world problems and not what's happening under their nose, they can have good olde Twitter bash and not go to jail this way 😆
@gemlog Well, it's still quite far from what could be called a regime, in fact I think it's the opposite of that 😄
J.T. regime is a prime example of Soviet-style rhetoric. Not that I'm not used to such wording in the news headlines, but this is an official statement — even I didn't expect that, they must have been real desperate when they came up with it, they had to respond with something, but when it comes to Canada they are out of cards to play, so they just mock Trudeau.
@gemlog Exactly! That is why Fedi is so great, when I started using it I sometimes got caught in this myself — pigeonholing people like I used to on other social media, like if this person thinks this, he must also think that and if I tell him this, he'll respond with that, but no, here things are different, you can have a conversation even if you don't agree on some topics and if you don't touch that on purpose you can get along just fine, discuss other things and have fun.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
