Public support shouldn't be wasted on petty shit like that and that is why Ukrainians shouldn't look bloodthirsty and Ukraine shouldn't look corrupt beyond redemption and an untrustworthy ally. Sorting these things out is just as important as armaments — because Ukraine relies on its allies a lot for those armaments.

@kravietz @polezaivsani@chaos.social @joaocosta@mastodonapp.uk
Not jus because it's immoral to make fun of a dead person, but because this person had nothing to do with the war in the first place. As cynical as it may be, moral questions are irrelevant in this case — Ukrainians and sympathizers shouldn't partake in such things as it makes them look bloodthirsty in public's eyes.
Ukraine has been winning the PR war so far and as no one wants Ukraine to lose, it's important that it stays this way.

> "let's not talk about it, because we're at war" is the worst way to deal with the problem
Exactly, it's not "but it's the war, look the other way!", it's precisely the opposite: it's the war and that's why it's important to not lose allies.
There was this case when a Russian man got killed by a shark, and a lot of Ukrainians and sympathizers were making fun of it — and I could perfectly understand why, but at the same time I thought it was a really bad move.

@yukiame
Is it not worse than that in Europe? 🤔

@kravietz @polezaivsani@chaos.social @joaocosta@mastodonapp.uk
Turns out it could be more complicated than that: https://social.kyiv.dcomm.net.ua/@September_UA/111456523589452510
That's no definite proof of Russia's involvement of course, a lot of people who take part in such protests maintain ties to their local political parties who might've been friendly towards Russia, before the war some could even appear on RT using it as an extra opportunity to be heard, but that's still something to consider. Russia's agents in Europe are extremely cunning!

And docstrings of course! Probably something like "this function does some serious shit and uses two objects of type n as input" 🤣

Nothing particularly interesting, things have slowed down for now. I mostly stay up to date by reading news here: https://mastodon.social/@rvps2001 as well as The Insider's daily summaries https://theins.ru/en — but I don't think they publish those in English.
I'm not even on Fedi a lot these days — trying to get my own life together in the meantime and maybe get out of here before it's too late 😅

When you really want to give a cool speech, but realize that you're rather bad at giving speeches and decide to organize a mutiny instead 😏

@chowderman
I've read The Many Faces of Corruption — a whole textbook about fighting corruption by two World Bank dudes. This one: https://elibrary.worldbank.org/doi/abs/10.1596/978-0-8213-6725-4
It's mostly about countering it on state level and barely touches international measures, but anyway — it has an excellent chapter on customs.
And ever since it never ceases to amaze me how little of it actually gets implemented — even in relatively less corrupt EU countries 😩
