Seems like buying the media silence to keep him a "pure" image it's a thing that he cannot contain on Twitter. But people can then correlate history. And the multiplier effect can get devastating
Imagine rooting and fully supporting the actual enemy of the values, way of life and political views of your own country. Because that's what Russia and Putin are. That means being a traitor even by the enemy standards
It's another YouTube with its own. There is also what you need and it's called Piped. It's an open-source YouTube video player on which you don't need Google account
Solaris IS difficult, but it gets much easier for those that read Stanislav Lem's "Solaris" book first. Tarkovsky being, firstly, a photographer, his cinematographic take was to complement the book with astonishing atmosphere and photographic frames while leaving the story and action in the second and third places. It's harder to digest for the people that look more for action, but I can't blame them: this is not supposed to be for everyone
I love how this movie gave way to a short but solid dick-measuring contest between Kubrick and Andrei Tarkovsky. Which, in turn, produced the next best sci-fi movie of the period, "Solaris"
Because some of them don't see the danger of Threads. And I'm not only talking about the EEE tactic: I'm also talking about the festering sludge that will grow on Threads and that you have also seen. For the Fediverse, it will be a moderation nightmare. And be sure that Zucc won't even moderate his platform; he doesn't want to and, as far as he's concerned, it's even out of his range.
Think about it this way: if a user starts spewing death threats within the Threads platform, he MAY get sanctioned. Not banned, "sanctioned". But if he does that to the Fediverse and especially on servers with already overwhelmed moderators, do you think that there would be consequences coming from Zucc for doing this kind of stuff outside the official Threads servers? No, nothing! Our moderators would surely ban him if they would find out about this in time, but imagine thousands of these kinds of accounts invading from Threads doing this constantly. This is not just Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, but it gets to Embrace, Raid, Harass, Extinguish
... Some people just like letting the corporate algorithm sort content by controversies and rage baits. Maybe they will make their own instances focused only on that, but I hope that they will not be worth federating with. Eventually some of these will go back to corporate platform and whine on how "bad and bleak is the Fediverse". Good, keep whining and "advertising". We don't want people with that attitude here anyway.
For me, the favorite of the genre to date are the Mass Effect games, Star Wars (the good ones, at least), Asimov's Foundation books, Stanislav Lem's Solaris book and, even if it's more grimdark than space opera, Warhammer 40k. I still have to delve into The Expanse but I don't have the time yet
I can't fuckin believe he backed down after Luka intervened. Who in his right mind and power crosses the Rubicon, then crosses it back? Prigozhin will lose his power AND life soon because of this dumb decision
