I am surprised they went as far as mass shutdown of mobile internet in so many large metropolitan areas.

Seems like they are being paranoid. I don’t get the impression we have the capabilities for a big strike that would have immense symbolic impact (e.g. on the military units taking part in the parade in Moscow).

Was this posted in self-hosted because the term is vaguely associated with the concept of getting pregnant?

Looks very much like change for the sake of change, or be more specific, change for the sake of promotion.

Then don’t talk out of your ass about things you have no fucking clue about.

Ukraine does not have anything close to the same level of racism as russia. And supremacist attitudes exist outside the bounds of race, just because you know nothing about it it this and are too lazy to educate yourself, it doesn’t mean this is not a major issue (it is literally the root cause of the russian invasion).

There is broad agreement among observers that at its formation in Spring 2014, the Azov Battalion was associated with Neo-Nazi and far-right ideas, including through the use of symbolism and the political associations and statements of its leaders and cadre.[71][281] However, there is disagreement about the subsequent course of its evolution. Several researchers have stated in the years since that the Battalion’s successors have depoliticized or deradicalized, identifying key landmarks in that process as its November 2014 incorporation into the national guard, a 2017 expulsion of some far right radicals, and Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022

Don’t lie! You clearly have no fucking clue what you are talking about and your reference to “white supremacy” in Ukraine is more of an attempt to establish a weird aesthetic. I dislike the term, but virtue signalling is an apt description of what you are doing.

The fact that you think racism in russia Wagner (or even just Azov in Ukraine) shows that you can’t even conceptually evaluate a concept such the prevalence of racism.

I was in Kyiv during russian siege in Feb 22. Every 100 m there was a military checkpoint on the road by my place. So you are saying I was discriminated against when I passed those checkpoints and I am lying because I am a “Ukrainian uncle tom”?

We then left to the west of the country. We had the security services come to our rental apartment (standard procedure to check for saboteurs). So you claim that I am lying when I say my white relatives were far more freaked out by the interview than I was, because well Ukraine is extremely racist and they had to harass me in such a situation?

And the fact that you think racism in russia is limited to Wagner means that you’re saying I never regularly encountered racism from both security services and regular russians (you probably don’t consider racism against Ukrainians to be racism, but that’s what I encountered in addition to being discriminater against and harassed because I am not white).

Honestly, there is an abstract beauty that you are so confident in your ignorance that you had the gall to show me (a non-white Ukrainian who has lived in both russia and Ukraine for many years) Wikipedia articles for Azov and Wagner as your source.

Afaik Ukraine has as much of a white supremacist problem as Russia

Source? Keep in mind I am a non-white Ukrainian who has lived in both Russia and Ukraine and I speak the languages.

How are pro-genocide fake-communists (russia is an authoritarian capitalist state, China is a capitalist society) any better than American oligarchs?

There is a lot of content on semiconductor manufacturing (both in context of gaming and beyond) on !hardware@lemmy.world, in one way or another anything related to semiconductors does impact both PC and console gaming (since CPUs and GPUs are key).

If not for consoles, AMD would have likely gone bankrupt or become a marginal player.

Considering what’s happening with Intel in the past ~7 year, it would have been game over for x86 PC gaming on the CPU front.

Exactly this.

We continue to be able to make faster chips, both via smaller nodes, but also via advanced packaging and architecture improvements.

But the costs of every new generational increase is rising faster than the % performance improvement.

I am personally hoping this will eventually lead to a culture of total optimization (similar to what we saw in the 90s on both PC and console), but there are likely significant barriers to implementing such a new development culture at scale.

This is really good point. The internet has been completely taken over by American oligarch gangs, on an outcome basis it’s not too far from internet censorship China (just implemented via alternative means).

e-greeting cards

Haven’t even thought about them in what seems like a quarter of a century.

Sure, but with China everyone more less knew this. The US has used up the last benefit of the doubt that they had in the past 5 months.

It makes sense for Chinese smartphone OEMs to move away from the Google version of Android. In the medium to long term you are setting up yourself for failure if you are reliant on an American company.

Unfortunately, the United States cannot be trusted.

F-Droid has the potential to make a much a bigger impact on a relative basis. Most people with still use default app stores, but I think F-Droid still has a long way even among semi-technical audiences.

It was require a different set of incentives, as wall as massive (global) reforms in judicial system, criminal approaches and rehabilitation policies for organized crime.

Seems fine.

Sounds about right for crypto scheme participants.

P.S. Let’s not forget that Rose’ last project was a NFT scam and some other blockchain bullshit. He clearly can’t think outside the box.
