LOL, on orders from Russia’s GenPro, Vkontakte blocks popular account of “Z-poet Gennady Rakitin” that was actually Nazi poems translated by antiwar activists trying to show invasion supporters that their "patriotism" is simpatico with 1930s–40s Germany. https://t.me/sotaproject/83006

Vladislav Inozemtsev's articles were insightful when he lived here, but he was forced to leave Russia in mid 2010s, now I'm reading his articles and it's like he has lost touch too — because I know he's looking at the numbers, but he doesn't "feel it" anymore. Foreign economists lack this even further, they look at the numbers and approximate things in accordance with their own economic realities, but that might be very misleading.
@kravietz
This is very good! Because a lot of people look at the officially published numbers for Russia and it looks like economy is indeed strong, in fact — far from it. These numbers do not necessary have to be bullshit, although I suspect some are — but they are meaningless when it comes to understanding the economic reality of average Russian.

You only need Go to build. It's quite nice once you get used to it!

Is it well-seasoned though? 🤭

Nice addition to the collection of head of the Constitutional Court vouching for the restoration of serfdom and the head of the Investigative Committee speaking in the support for the death penalty in the land of traditional values!
I suppose that's their role — to make Pooteen look sane against their background 🤷
Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Russia’s official govt newspaper, publishes an essay by lawyer Ilya Rusyaev where he says the verdict against the Nevzorovs should be a model for outlawing more “extremist families” and various “small social groups.” Truly demented. https://rg.ru/2024/07/03/reg-szfo/iurist-rusiaev-konfiskovannyj-penthaus-nevzorova-s-cherepami-budet-slozhno-prodat.html

Get a serious software dev job and you would hate computers with passion for the rest of your life 😂
Tinkering with computers is fine as hobby, but when you start depending on it… It's a unique kind of despair: you start hating computers, hating yourself, hating people using computers, hating everything… The burnout is severe, every time I resigned, I promised myself to never do it again, but as time passes I start thinking of it as of fun hobby again 🤪

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.
