"Relaxing" bossa nova is pretty tame compared to my story: me and a pretty big company of my friends were once having beers at a bar and there was "You my heart, you're my soul" by Modern Talking playing through the speakers for, I kid you not, four hours straight!
Not sure what was keeping the employees from attacking the guests… Unless they were all drugged like animals in the zoo 🤔

Sorry, not enough sleep here either 🫠

How about Canadian? You save and they might get converted to US ones soon 😏
Win-win!

No, it's real — "Loading mailbox failed" here 😞

I hoped it would at least be something, you know… useful, like neural network-based upscaling. Goddammit, indeed — why?!!!

@iska
Well, there is still hope — AMD!
Oh, wait… No, they've gone completely AInsane too 🤪

What's the point of making gaming cards if no one's making games? 🤔
Fedi attitude towards Nvidia seems totally unreasonable to me: first people are complaining that gaming is dead ("gone woke" and all that), then exact same people are complaining about Nvidia targeting "AI" instead of games.
Besides, most games people here are playing are at least 3 years old, current cards probably cover the requirements of those just fine🤷

The more or less new TV that I have works without all the "smart" functions because I refuse to agree to some terms. And works fine — I can plug the laptop into it, USB storage, hell — even built-in DLNA client works and I can watch movies right from my seedbox over wireless connection.
And I'm so glad it's like that! 😅

@kravietz
Exactly! Like I said, I'm kinda surprised he still manages to his horses and not break the economy with one decisive blow 😂
But let's give him that — one of the few thing's he's really good at is balancing, keeping different groups at bay by finding the right spot for compromise.
As soon as he gives up and lets one of his advisors with greatest Soviet economic education chime in — it would escalate VERY quickly!

I'd agree with you if he was still just a businessman, but now that he is to co-lead his planned Department of Government Efficiency…
Being, effectively a state official, and endorsing a party in a foreign country — especially utilising the media he still owns as a businessman, that's… dodgy 😏
I'm not sure conflict of interest is a thing in the international law, but it's pretty damn close to it.

Besides if he's free to endorse a party, they are free to criticise him for it 🤷

@kravietz
That's true — and I think it's a little miracle that he lets the head of Russian Central Bank reign free and still didn't make her step down despite some of his cro… I mean "friends" of course — being displeased with high rate of interest.
But the night is young — I think we'll see this soon. Trump is only about to discover that no one is interested in negotiating NATO membership. Pooteen might agree if all sanctions get lifted, but even GOP is unlikely to support it
@doctor_zoidberg

@doctor_zoidberg @kravietz
Except… he expected it to go exactly it did with Crimea, his intelligence had been lying to him and he miscalculated.
Economy performing poorly under Pooteen is the primary reason — always was, everything else follows. And NATO never had anything at all to do with it — Trump and his advisors demonstrate their utter incompetence even bringing that up, and some European leaders are falling right into KGB trap discussing this instead of implementing what has to be done!

Few remember that now, but before invading Ukraine, Russian troops were deployed in Kazakhstan in 2022: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Kazakh_unrest
> Putin described the intervention as a concerted effort to protect regional allies from what he described as colour revolutions instigated by foreign interference"
Annexing a part of KZ was the alternative, but China told him to get out. He knew that at least some people would support another conflict with UA — so he went that route.

@doctor_zoidberg @kravietz
As sad as it is to admit, but a lot of people genuinely welcomed the Crimea annexation. Besides — now poor economic performance could be pinned on sanctions! Which as we know weren't even remotely effective.
He tried to repeat the success with Syria, but few were interested in that conflict. At that point people have readjusted to the new economic realities, but suddenly a pandemic broke out, this was a serious problem.
Time for another victorious war?

@doctor_zoidberg @kravietz
Exactly!
> they can accept any misery, as long as their closest neighbours are as poor as themselves
Not only that — the economy was doing more or less fine till 2013, but oil prices started dropping and this would've slowed down the economic growth drastically. At the same time in 2011-2013 people were protesting.
Seeing poor economic performance more people could've joined the protesters, so he had to respond — and short victorious war isn't exactly a new trick.
