From whom would Prigozhin try to hide by faking his death? From Putin / MoD, but Russia can easily check the bodies DNA. Doesn't really make sense.

Morality is not a reason for e. g. civil rights movement? (not the same as colonialism, but coming from the same origin)

You think they would mutiny? Then they can just steal some of the many ships in the harbors.

And again, 20 km long bridge is a perfect place to destroy / stop whatever you want. It's a chokepoint, hell to get through if the other sode doesn't want to let you go through.

So, these days states forgo colonies only because they lack the resources? Does this apply to e. g. slavery as well? I don't like this line of thought.

WTF, the bridge has checkpoints on both sides, you're not going to somehow sneak thousands of soldiers.

India would not arrest him, but they would do everything they can to avoid this situation, like refuse to allow Putin's plane to land. Which would then be Putin's fiasco.

No, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Russia has enough boats/ships to evacuate Crimea if they wanted. They used to supply the whole Crimea woth ships before the bridge was built.

If Ukraine could, they would definitely destroy the bridge. But it's just very difficult task.

I get what you're saying, but I disagree with "make a lot more sense". It still doesn't make logical sense, but this is how these people indeed think.

With a higher lemmy adoption their presence should go proportionally down.

That's the point.

Phone has usually lower latency than internet. Consequence of circuit vs. packet switching.

But otherwise I hate phone as well. Miserable audio quality.

Some voters may see two bad choices and not seeing any decent choice won't vote at all.

I agree, but wouldn't underestimate meetings. People say that you're losing productivity, but IME the largest losses of productivity are caused by working on the wrong things, because of too little communication. Sometimes it's things that are not needed anymore, sometimes it's just aspects of the feature which are not important (e.g. overengineering) because of lack of context.

I'm not saying all meetings are always needed, but in larger organizations the sync between people and teams is very important.

It’s not exclusive to being in an office. You just need to adapt to a new work style.

I've spent 2 years in WFH during COVID and haven't seen this working in any of the teams (even though there were attempts).

One problem is just that remote calls suck a lot, especially if you have latency and audio issues. People talking over each other, then saying "sorry" and waiting 20 seconds, audio too high or low or just poor quality etc. A lot of it could be solved with technology, but weirdly it hasn't happened yet.

Expect a lot of discussions what will happen with Biden dying in office, and that becomes even more possible.

And imagining Kamala as a president is a big turn off.

You're free to find sources confirming your guesses. Until then, they remain guesses only.

The Dutch investigation was pretty conclusive, with the call recordings and such. A lot of rebels were Russian vacationers, though.

One of them is Utkin, the Nazi who coined the name Wagner.

There would be no clean replacement. It would get very bloody and chaotic. Not a bad hypothetical scenario. But that ship has sailed when Prihozhin surrendered (he didn't stand much of a chance anyway).

If Putin wants him dead and Prigozhin is in Russia, there's not much he can do to avoid his fate.
