  • Israel has a very successful gamble in showing they are the white man's key to the Middle East. For as long as no one wills to find another ally in the region, Israel oversells itself as a one. And as any other bad example of putting all eggs in one basket, Israel felt the dependency other states have in it, and now tests it, tests it, tests it with no negative response.

    Palestine and Gaza are just them dipping their toes to know, if they can get scots-free from shooting weak HAMAS and civs and get into a real war Netanyahu's cabinet already planning. It's 2025 and in the coming years we'd see even more violence from that beloved partner if no one pulls the stop lever.

  • There are, like, a lot of arrows pointing in that direction but not yet connecting. I assume I can draw the missing part myself. But yep, the solid and direct link could've made wonders, but I'm pretty pessimistic about getting it until FSB archives get open to the public, probably after this regime's critical malfunction. That's not even the first question I'd like to research there if that happens.

    I still prefer to keep only work communications and mild content there. Some russian expats reported border guards checked their sub list in TG specifically, so I pumped it up with all Z channels in mute mode, I leave reactions there if that matters anyhow to create myself a SFW persona. As long as it doesn't matters if it tracks my geoloc, I think it's better to have it because not having it makes you deviant and easy to point out.

    I love Russia and it's precious president Vladimyr Putin, who shares many qualities with the God-Emperor but one: he's still alive.

  • I opted out of beta and made a complete reinstall, now from public channel, still v 1.0.275 tho. No settings changed, and I still see this weirdness.

    It's not a big deal, I'm more curious about wtf happened there on my phone and probably help debug it.

  • They do love the illusion of safety it produces. Recently it was confirmed TG's infrastructure is managed by the same guys who do this for FSB. Google iStories for the investigation.

    The new messenger would probably be Max, a newly announced app from the russian nephew of Meta, Mail.ru, now called VK after they bought this site from Durov. In last ten years they bought many popular sites, educational platforms, started businesses in many spheres. This helps that it's managed by the son of a russian top beaurocrat, so I guess it's on them to take another niche without any competition.

  • So, basically, this cool guy Durov sold an idea of a confidential messenger hosted by a russian FBI. Add there that you can't lawfully buy a SIM wihtout a local passport, so everyone using it as a lawful citizens have everything they've posted right to their registered entity. And that you can link persons even without obvious address book sniffing.

  • I added a screenshot to the post body. Only within comments there is such inconsistency as some appear smaller than others for whatever reason.

    ed: Like, that comment of mine has lower font size than yours.

  • I think what another important thing he did is he spoiled the place for the democrat-leaning public that started to see less and less content\traction\support there than they did before, but saw swarms of bots, elonposting, weakening factcheck and moderation instead. Twitter launched a lot of #movements, even those localized in the internet, due to it's turbulent nature. But on X many felt disengaged, lonely and not pumped up enough to do anything, even vote.

  • Why not user/documents/nvidia/gfexperience/[app name]/? It records both screenshots and videos, and it makes sense it puts everything from one gaming session together. Making a subdirectory in Documents kinda erases the confusion.

    But I can see why they did that. GFE was first and foremost created for datamining direct capture from one's videocard and in-game graphics optimization. Then, it happens, many started to use it for screenshotting because it sometimes get installed on PCs in place of driver and, unlike windows' screenshot tool and scissors tool just saves a file immediately. When I needed to make a lot of them, I defaulted to it too.
