Let’s not forget his handling of Covid19 either.

I don’t think I could shit while holding in a full bladder of piss. Is that even possible?

Have you not learned the first lesson of the internet?

“oh…kay?”

I get increasingly jaded with every bit of news that basically says “yet another reason to not use Google, integrated/agentic AI etc.” When will it be enough to make even IT-illiterates consider?

I feel like they made it clear (that that’s what they think) many times before. Is this one even worse?

(yeah I know it’s Luanti)

I don’t even click on archive.is (also .today, .md, .fo, .li, .vn, .ph) anymore.

Every page contains (and has for months) this code. It’s a DDOS attack on a blogger who dared to investigate who runs the site.

Further, archive.nn started altering archived pages:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/

Do not use it anymore. It’s not enough that µBlock blocks the attack, because many people don’t use µBlock. Also you’re increasing archive.nn’s popularity.

Goddammit it’s been over 4 years hasn’t it.

But the sentiment expressed in the first 2 paragraphs is nothing new. Collapse has been imminent for a while, but it’s happening too slowly. The Kremlin has employed all sorts of life-extending tricks in the past years and probably they can still keep it up for a while.

Two separate things. That sentence was totally unambiguous to me.

This is a good thing if it’s implemented properly.

Explanation: A TV show or movie needs a lot of range in volume: car crashes are supposed to be louder than normal conversation etc.

A commercial can and usually does employ a technicque called compression to make all parts of it as loud as possible without distortion.

Now if the thus treated commercial is as loud as the loudest bits in the show/movie, it’s still too loud.

A small kid in my workplace has a Smurfina plushie and the whites of her eyes are actually light pink. She looks totally stoned and I always have to check myself to not say that out loud.

So yeah, that wolf made me think of that.

That’s 115kg. Damn.

At age 7, the CDC median weight is about 22.9 kg for boys.

The surviving child “was morbidly overweight, was dirty, knots in her hair, naked outside when law enforcement arrived,” so it’s not just about nutrition/exercise, it’s general neglect.

The quality is so bad that I don’t have to downvote this horrible picture.

…um, does that horse really wear a black wig? Or has its own mane been colored (the tone looks unnatural somehow) and combed forward?

Cheesus I already spent to much time with & thought on this pic. Dang.

What did they do besides play the piano?

A gavel I presume.

they “don’t recognise the community around me anymore”.

I think that’s a narrative implanted in their brains by conservatives: too many brownskinned people, danger danger danger.
Just like Russia deliberately creates the narrative that they offer an alternative, conveniently ignoring the multicultural nature of Russia - and the obvious conflict of becoming an immigrant yourself.

Because that has worked so well in the past 20 years.

Serious answer? It probably does but the US government has put such things on hold for 10 years, to push the AI bubble the Trump family heavily invested in.

dream world in which (…) Russia is a bastion of Conservative values

According to the article Russia is actively creating that image, and the special visa to go with it, for numbskulls like Leo.
