Putin Learns Putin Behind Plot To Assassinate Putin

Wagner was Dmitry Utkin's pseudonym. But I'm sure the guy was talking about Prigozhin.

That's something you may think if you're 5 y/o and going on vibes. Every decision you face not only has the consequences if you choose it, but also if you don't.

A pure hypothetical to demonstrate the general principle on an extreme example (not a direct comparison): you have an election with two candidates: one runs on a promise of Holocaust 2.0 and the other will twist your ankle after he wins. Would you say you can't choose because both are bad? Obviously you would under any case want to avoid the worse outcome. Because not doing anything is risking that bad outcome, even if the alternative is bad. The upcoming election is not that extreme, but my example should have demonstrated the principle: inaction in face of greater evil is wrong.

There is no absolute good in this world, and if you can't choose between Kamala Harris and those horrible people you moral compass is out of whack. When you don't vote, the choice is made for you. Whether something is good or bad has to be evaluated considering possible alternatives, you can't just not choose and expect a miracle to happen.

Compared to what? Trump? DeSantis? I don't think so.

Never say never, but I don't think it matters all that much, with Trump in jail. But to answer your question, incumbent changing their running mate seems tantamount to admitting failure and you want people to view your administration as successful.

"You" doesn't mean I'm talking to the bot, I'm using it as a general descriptor for a person. I could have said "I understand being cautious with one's statements", but that's very formal and unnecessary in a comment on a social media website. I can easily imagine you reading a sentence like "You need to study really hard to get to Harvard" and think someone is talking to you personally instead of making a general statement.

Communication is a cooperative process, interpreting what others say maliciously and automatically assuming they made a mistake is the definition of "bad faith engagement".

Edit: to clarify even further: since I commented on the text of the article, I'm replying to the summary. Maybe that's the part you're confused by.

Have you ever seen stuff like Occillococcinum or anything made by company Boiron? They don't advertise it as homeopathy, so even if you saw a homeopathic sugar pill you wouldn't necessarily know. That's a part of the scam

Ukrainian officials also claimed their Air Force claimed it had destroyed fifteen Russian-made drones and carried out ten group attacks, the outlet reports.

That's way too many qualifiers. I understand being cautious with your statements, but this is almost unreadable.

How would we know if she's chubby from that angle?

Well, that is what I said if you read it again ("control some parts of your PC from your phone"). I did forget about controlling your phone from your computer though, which can also be done.

Who'd've thunk it?

KDE Connect is an android app that allows you to control some parts of your PC from your phone if you have a corresponding app installed on your computer, not a file manager.

You're missing out. The trackpad function is amazing, not having to get up from bed when your desk is too far is a god send. I know I could buy a wireless mouse, but why if you can just use your phone?

did they expect to get their name in credits for doing their job?

Yes, that is the purpose of the credits. To credit people who did their job on the project.

I popped my eyes out of my skull, submerged them in bleach for 30 minutes and underwent electroshock therapy by sticking a particularly wet fork into a power outlet, just to completely erase this image from my mind and retinas.

Armenia is the weaker side. Azerbaijan has to deal with refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh because of Armenia but they have been overstepping their previous claims in recent years. I don't see a good side to this, but currently Armenia is the least bad side.

It's so rare to see someone speak the voice of reason on future technology matters. People think we'll be able to do anything, when there are physical limits to just how far we can advance current technology.

Even if we invented something new, you have to deal with the size restrictions of atoms. Silicon has an atomic radius of 1.46 Å, gold 1.35 Å, and our current process for manufacturing that's in development is a 2 nm, or 20 Å process, although that number doesn't mean much, since the measurements are closer to 20 nm (metal pitch). There are experiments dating back about a decade where someone created a transistor out of a phosphorus atom. We're a lot closer to the end than we might realize.

when you’ve never held an actual floppy disk

This makes me feel old and I'm only in my mid twenties

Just buy rockets then, why go the extra mile and invent and finance a mind projector just to get regular rocket launch codes? That’s less Bond villain and more Dr. Doofenshmirtz

GTK has poor compatibility with Rust, due to it's inheritance/OOP design. Iced-rs is a neat GUI library that works well with Rust's features, you define view separately from the update loop. In the view you place widgets which send messages, and the update function listens to those and based on pattern matching the message updates the central struct when one is sent.

You can often achieve the same result in a different way if you're not married to certain features, or in this case frameworks.
