communism

did you intend to include the timestamps in those youtube links ?

I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke or not , but I really hope it is because its so perfect

yeah but there is still no cleavage

my point isn’t to say that the ellection interference in 2016 did not happen , but that I don’t think its reasonable to assert that a topic is being influenced by Russian trolls by virtue of it being something Russia might have a vague interest in .

not to say that any suspicions are invalid , of course , but again from what I understand , Russia has a very “one topic at a time” approach , which should be taken to mean there is a limited number of affected communities , which from past examples appear “home grown” .

comments are also broken in the same way:

Coptic: ⲜⳃⲭⲕⲪⲚⲺⲝⲼⲮⲴⲝⲫⳂⲫⲼⳌⲵⳔ

I feel its worth noting that this article suggests the actions of this group is/was centered on the war happening in Ukraine . I’m not sure what the other person was saying but it does not follow , nor is it reasonable to conclude from this information alone that these agents operate on other topics .

honestly I don’t think your conclusion is that accurate as you are missing a common factor between RT/Sputnik and MAGA : both are right wing nationalists .

while from what I remember there is some evidence showing that the raise of the new alt-right in the US is not fully organic , I feel like saying their views are just astroturfed end of discussion is quite pointless .

just to make my point clear : Israel also has a online propaganda campaign which often aligns itself with the views of the Democratic party in the US . one could say something along the lines of “It couldn’t be any clearer. What are the odds that Democrat views nearly in 100% [of cases] overlaps with Israeli best interests?” suggesting that the entirety of the Democratic party’s support is artificial , which is made easier by the exsiance of Israeli funded political organizations in the US .

but this is of course bullshit . the impact of Israel’s foreign politics is not the entirely of the Democratic party , nor is it correct to say that everyone who says anything positive about the Democratic party is a “Hasbara troll” . (also of course as neonazis on twitter have realised , Trump is as also affected by these forces , no you don’t want to know)

I believe this also should be applied to the other side : Trump has tapped into preexisting American sentiments towards right wing nationalism and with a mixture of luck , charisma and support from both national and foreign interest groups rallied them around himself .

mind you I’m not saying this to paint the views of Trump’s supporters as legitimate , I hold quite opposite views , but because I think your analysis is limited .

lets take the EU as an example : an American nationalist will quite naturally hold some distrust of foreign blocks , which is then compounded by the EU having some liberal policies . its not necessary for a foreign entity to artificially create these views since they are a natural extension of other views this political group has .

fun fact : the angle is now around 3" 26’ which is just slightly over ¹/₂₀ of a degree !

my mental state is stable but not really . hoping to get better care in the next few months

I use blueprints for junctions & those funny looking train buffers since I don’t feel like measuring them out every time , though I find trains relatively intuitive . tbh might add more blueprints to my arsenal further down the road as I’m only at ~150 h

go to a mental hospital

and I’m only slightly exaggerating

bruh jury deliberation can take days , no need to check up on them every few minutes

note that I use a mod called logistics train network to manage train routes , though I’m not sure if that’s what you are referring to .

actually one of the oopsies was caused by me misconfiguring a train stop and I had to deal with quite a few trains full of copper or iron blocking my main

not exactly a DAW/VST but VCV Rack is a open source (though with a pro version , the pro version can work as a VST though I never used it in that way) eurorack modular synthesizer symulator if you want to experiment a bit

and yet you have them/they pronouns in your username . curious /j

not entirely sure but this doesn’t feel like something the fsf would like . most definetly it violates freedoms 0. because it discriminates against companies with over 5 M$ in income and against people living in Japan (see 2.14 , though I’m not sure its enough to qualify) , and possibly by restricting what you can do with the software , though I’m not sure on that one . it also violates freedoms 2. and 3. by requiring publicly releasing your changes (fsf requires that free software licenses allow for private modifications) and possibly by requiring contacting the licensor or the post-open administration though I’m unsure of if it does (entering into a post-open source zero-cost / paid contract seems to me to imply contacting either the licensor or the post-open administration) .

to my knowledge disabled apps do not run so you must have misunderstood something

if I understand correctly the rethink app does also work as a firewall , so no . I’ve also found netguard to be less intuitive and to have a less readable UI .

if you are just using rethink as a DNS provider however then netguard (or the rethink app) can allow you to have more granular control over specific apps .

just gonna say , rethink combines both a firewall and a DNS blocker .
