I’m a for it. But let’s not forget Russia paying reparations to Poland, Estonia, Finland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia and Tuva.

If that was intervention to ‘free Donbas’ it would stop at Donbas and would not include city and civilian infrastructure bombing, would it now?

Americans aren’t being influenced by spooky foreigner actors on the other side of the world

Literally the link you posted contradicts it

Washington Post: Russian trolls on Twitter had little influence on 2016 voters

I feel like we’re going in circles. Happy New Year!

So you’re argument is that Russia is bad at making propaganda, underfunds propaganda or that USA propaganda is worse?

That’s, uh, rather weak argument.

And domestically, almost all of the influence comes from US corporations and wealthy Americans.

That had me stumped. We know the Russian budget for domestic media and narratives, it is not a small one, is that argument that somehow domestic government sanctioned propaganda is somehow better than a kleptocratic one?

What are you trying to argue here? The OC was removed and you just listed a lot of non aggression pacts - with Polish ones in red for some reason?

What are you trying yo argue here, because I’m unsure? That the Russia doesn’t have propaganda in the West?

But the links you posted does not confirm that, e.g.

You might be confusing using functions with functional programming. Python is Object Oriented language at it’s core, most people use it as procedural, and like most modern languages it supports also functional paradigms.

According to OpenAis internal test suite and system card, hallucination rate is about 50% and the newer the model the worse it gets.

And that fact remains unchanged on other LLM models.

I’m not sure why you think any digital device shouldn’t know what time it is. It’s not leaking any kind of personal information, just literal facts about reality.

My challenge isn’t about NTP but about printer shouldn’t be able to communicate with the internet, as it has no need for it.

You said: It’s common.

Okay, cool. So is cancer.

does not need to be able to talk to the internet at all, just to your router (or designated NTP server if you’re into that)

Exactly! So why allow the printer to go past it!

Me: please explain what kinds of timing attacks can affect a printer and what are the consequences, because I can’t think of any

You: Timing attacks. They are old. They are bad. Therefore printer needs to be protected from them.

I don’t think you answered my question.

Anything that connects to the network needs a synchronized clock with other devices it directly communicates with in order to make sure it’s not being subjected to timing attacks

Please explain what kind of timing attacks because what you wrote doesn’t make sense in the context of a damn printer.

Server? Sure. Printer? Why can it even access public internet?

Printer isn’t responsible for timestamps on your document. If that would be regarding tracking dots, then block it anyway, right? And if it’s a 3d printer then it still doesn’t need to have correct synchronized time, it only needs to be able to count how the time passes.

Again, what would a printer need a clock for?

Why would a printer need time? The only think that cames to mind is freezing cartridges after x months.

Are you telling that to someone on a .ml instance?

Huh. :P

(This is of course a joke)

FOSS to thrive needs people who can afford to spend time and energy on it. With the recent enshittification of workers collective power, developers have less of both, and the trend is pessimistic.

Except that *Fox, *Fennec and *Wolf are downstream to Firefox, so if the main trunk goes shit, they will become outdated soon.

I love it but the generated quests make this game boring for me.

So basically I really really really want to like this game, but I just can’t :(

(I have 200ish hours in it anyway)

Whenever I see that, I love to remind people, than Tienanmen Protesta were (partly) against China pivot from communism to capitalism - this article summarizes it nicely: https://jacobin.com/2019/06/tiananmen-square-worker-organization-socialist-democracy

I think you’re imagining that statistics, because they do not. But hey, let’s check. Name three European countries that have population replacement birth levels.
