  • Did you watch the “collateral damage” video? Just wondering.

    Not all Russians are war criminals. Neither are all US citizens.

    The most normal Linux user showed up, I see.

    This wasn’t a governmental decision this was a single person making a decision.

    According to governmental regulations, yes. Please read up and try again.

  • To my complete lack of surprise, Russia is seems to be a freer country for free software developers than the United States.

  • They were removed from the maintainer position of whatever they did. Bizarre enough.

    How would they be able to provide a way for you to filter and/or downrank certain (known "less helpful") domains without you having an account?

  • Well, a slightly less flippant answer: I'm seriously interested in finding out how an iPhone behaves when it falls. I'm very clumsy and in the 15+ years I've been using smartphones, I've dropped one more than once in such an annoying way that I've had to buy a new one.

    Beyond the pure entertainment value of these videos - comparable perhaps to monster truck shows (‘haha look, the car is flat!’) - they are definitely a recommendation to buy for people like me.
