While nothing here is technically untrue, but it's on purpose misleading

It was the most dangerous instance, but far from the only one. Kyiv also swiftly blamed Russia for the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines last September, a charge repeated by European officials, print media, and countless talking heads on U.S. television, before Western officials all but absolved Moscow and evidence emerged that Europe and the United States had had advance knowledge of a Ukrainian military plot for the attack.

There's no proof that the plot was actually carried out, just the knowledge of it existed several months prior to the sabotage.

There's also no mention of the Kakhovka dam explosion that Ukraine claimed to be Russian doing, while Russia falsely blamed on Ukraine. Later photos confirmed explosives being brought from the Russian side

The average reader, as a result, is left with little reason to doubt [the] claims.

Indeed, this article makes it seem like Ukraine always lies and should not be trusted. The truth, of course, is much more complex

NixOS, makes it easy to have the same setup because it's all in one config file. I didn't check it out until last year when they released a graphical installer, now installing/using NixOS is a breeze.

Even if I didn't install NixOS, I'd use the Nix package manager (which is separate, but part of a NixOS system) since it has more packages than the AUR. It's easy to contribute to, so I've been maintaining a package.

I'm a fan of Framework laptops. They have given people the option to upgrade several motherboards by Intel and released an AMD version to boot. I don't think there's ever been a manufacturer that offered three generations of motherboards on the same chassis. The swappable ports are kind of neat, you can choose which ones you want to use

The 13" is already on sale with a 16" coming later this year

Because they don't exist, the 155mm artillery is being made, the stockpiles are too low

Ukraine will record where they used them to help the demining effort later

I've heard the war would end by May. May of 2022, that is, where Russian sources said they almost surrounded Azov

Don't believe everything you read. This war is going into 2024, unless the US brings more weapons for Ukraine to finish it earlier

Because Ukraine is advancing too slowly. It prolongs the fights in certain areas, allows Russians to shell cities.

If Ukraine were to reach Crimea in the South, the frontline would shrink appreciably.

It would have be basically torrent hosted

I've started using Mastodon after the Twitter changes, Lemmy after the Reddit changes, I don't think any website is irreplaceable
