A former KGB who is literally never seen with his family. I wonder what exactly those values are in GOP's view? 🤔

I watched last year’s #Poland truckers protests with great interest since early 2023. I followed arguments of both Poland and #Ukraine, even though the latter largely ignored the protests until November 2023 when they turned into blockade.

The truckers’ protest was suspended in January, but we now have a second iteration of farmers’ protest with ongoing border blockade. The first one actually preceded the truckers’ protest in 2023, but was noticed by even less parties than the truckers’ one.

One qualitative difference to the current protest I’ve noticed was that the truckers generally avoided anti-Ukrainian slurs and often highlighted that they don’t intend to disrupt Ukraine’s war effort and they’re forced to protest by dire economy.

Right now we have a full spectrum of vicious anti-Ukrainian slurs, hate speech and flood of very aggressive fakes alleging various forms of filth accompanying Ukrainian food products. This new wave emerged very quickly and is accompanied by massive bot campaigns on commercial social media.

While I believe the original farmers’ and truckers’ protests weren’t directly inspired by Moscow, I have a very strong feeling that this one actually is. Russia noted a divisive topic that emerged organically and this time decided to fully invest its highly efficient information warfare to capitalize on it 🤷

@kravietz
AFAIR you also used to be a firm believer that the concern is genuine — but it doesn't look this way anymore as some agreements were reached, but the protest doesn't seem to tone down and at this point it indeed look like it's Kremlin orchestrated 🤷

There's a way to replace the system WebView implementation with Bromite and the likes, but it still looks like a much bigger problem to me.

On the other hand, some games using e.g. Unreal engine look visually impressive, but are unplayable at higher graphics settings even on hardware that is newer than the game — probably because they are doing things they aren't supposed to do with that engine, and maybe even the choice of engine was wrong to begin with 🤷

@spacecowboy @drewdevault@fosstodon.org
> But this is also an optimization issue. Some studios do it, and some don't.
Exactly! RAGE (2011) still looks impressive today and it doesn't have high hardware requirements at all, it ran well even on a laptop with a discrete GPU contemporary to it. Hell, even Doom 3 doesn't look that bad TBH.
That's because they knew exactly what that could do with that engine and it works really well.

I think it's already happening. I have to admit that all my computers were high-end in their time, nowadays all computers I use are older than a decade and I don't feel limited in any way hardware-wise. And I barely ever use the full computing power of my phone. An octacore Aarch64 SOC and 8 gigs of RAM, seriously? I could've even used that as a desktop replacement, although I would never mind extra RAM and usually have it maxed out 😁

Another day of having nothing planned. If I'm not needed anywhere, I kind of just sit there.
