I am so sick of this 🤮🤮🤮 Everywhere we go — Russia, Russia, Russia: new series or book, new angle, new “from Russia’s point of view.” Always centered. Always humanized. Always “explained” . By whom? The Western obsession with Russia is disgusting and willfully ignorant #Shame They award them for existing, 4 “showing up.” 😂 4 imaginary resistance or writing A book, making A movie or being a widow …Just say what they want to hear and you’re redeemed, Ivan Masha Aleksey😂 They keep funding a “future democratic Russia” that never existed and never will. They bend over backwards to intellectualize #RussianImperialism while ignoring the despicable reality of Indigenous nations inside RF. Not trendy enough, right? 🤷‍♀️ They platform Russian voices and shut down Ukrainian ones. They patronize Ukrainians — telling us how we must feel, how we must speak, how we must “understand.” Stop being so emotional, they say…🙈 Meanwhile, Ukrainians are dying. The ones who could have written or have written books The ones who could have made films or have made The ones who resist, fight, save lives, perform daily acts of heroism — unseen!!! The athletes, actors, writers, ordinary people? Background noise bc Russia is always the main story And Ukrainian suffering, genocide, erased cities — just another story to …redeem Russia. Dear West, look in the mirror! This is not tone-deaf. It’s moral vanity mixed with #neo_colonial_mindset arrogance. You cry over Schindler’s List. You read Anne Frank’s diary. You watch films where evil is evil and heroes are heroes. But when the same crimes happen in real time- you call it “complexity” or “perspective.” You reward #cowardice and #collaboration — as long as it’s Russian. Look in the mirror- it’s an ugly rotten moral bankruptcy. Ukraine 🇺🇦 will prevail and this moral bankruptcy will return to you — not once, but many times.

Проблема з вестернерами в тому, що вони ніхуя не розуміють росіян. Вони думають, що ми не відступаємо, бо ми такі відважні і стійкі. А ми просто знаємо, що нас усіх вбʼють. Фізично знищать усіх. І незламність це не вибір, це просто єдина можливість вижити. Очі Патрона, сука..

@DenShtilierman це навіть не зважаючи що сам Трамп "хороший у торгівлі" тільки тому що московські олігархи викупили його борги 3 рази чи скільки там

Рівно 37 років тому, 15 лютого 1989 року, останній совєтський солдат перетнув міст через Аму-Дар'ю. СССР вивів війська з Афганістану. Десятирічна війна, яка коштувала життя понад 15 000 солдатів і більше мільйона афганців, нарешті завершилася. І завершилася вона не тому, що Москва раптом стала миролюбною. І не тому, що хтось умовив Кремль «деескалювати ситуацію». Війна закінчилася тому, що Рональд Рейган — республіканець — зробив усе, щоб ціна цієї війни для СССР стала нестерпною. Stinger-и в руках моджахедів, економічний тиск, жорстка риторика без жодних реверансів у бік Москви. «Я вірю, що комунізм — це ще один сумний і дивний розділ людської історії, останні сторінки якого зараз пишуться.» «Дивитися, як сміливі афганці воюють проти сучасної військової техніки з найпростішою зброєю – це справжнє натхнення для всіх, хто любить свободу. Їхня сміливість дає нам найважливіший урок – у цьому світі є речі, які варто захищати. Я кажу жителям Афганістану – ми захоплюємося вашим героїзмом, вашою відданістю свободі, вашою безперервною боротьбою проти ваших гнобителів.» Рейган не шукав «прийнятних для обох сторін умов» і не зупинявся на гучних заявах, — він діяв. Завдяки Рейгану СССР не просто пішов з Афганістану — він розвалився. Бо коли агресору дають відсіч, а не шукають компроміс із його апетитами, — він програє. А тепер подивіться на сьогоднішніх республіканців. Партія Рейгана перетворилася на партію Трампа — людини, яка телефонує Путіну, називає його «дуже розумним», торгується українськими життями заради «угоди» і вимагає від України поступок, а не від агресора. Рейган озброював тих, хто бореться з імперією. Трамп зупиняє постачання зброї тим, хто бореться з її ідейною спадкоємицею. Рейган тиснув на СССР доти, доки той не зламався. Трамп тисне на Україну, щоб вона зламалася першою. Рейган бачив в імперії зла ворога. Трамп бачить у ній партнера для угоди. Але при цьому в Трампа вистачає нахабності критикувати Рейгана і вважати себе кращим: «Ми мали президентів, які були нікудишніми бізнесменами. Мені подобався Рональд Рейган, але Рональд Рейган був поганий у торгівлі... Рейган дозволив Японії та Німеччині прийти на американський ринок. Вони прийшли й забрали наш автомобільний ринок. Якщо подивитися на кожного президента за останні 50 років, вони були погані в торгівлі. Але я не поганий у торгівлі. Я дуже хороший у торгівлі.» Так, Трамп «дуже хороший у торгівлі» — особливо торгівлі союзниками, інтересами громадян США та репутацією Америки, яку вибудовували десятиліттями. Якщо республіканці хочуть знати, як закінчуються війни з Росією, — їм варто перечитати власну історію. Не умовляннями. Не поступками. А силою, рішучістю та безкомпромісною підтримкою тих, хто стоїть на передовій. Саме так зробив Рейган. Саме так мала б діяти Америка сьогодні.

Yes, I've tried Claude. It was okay. I primarily do malware development and reverse engineering, so there are many times Claude will say, "that's not in my training data". Alternatively, I'll notice Claude is wrong and it'll say "you're absolutely right!". It's cool, I guess. As is tradition, Claude and ChatGPT feel more like a fancy search engines than anything else. For reverse engineering Claude has been pretty helpful. It helps rapidly speed up what I'm doing. Sometimes Claude picks up on details I've missed. My biggest thing about AI though is that, while I enjoy it as a tool, I learned to program because I like problem solving. Even if AI spoon feeds me the solution I like to review the code, research what it has shown me, etc. I don't like having a machine do all the thinking for me. I enjoy the process of failure and exploration. Maybe others don't want to think, but not thinking defeats the purpose of why I chose this career field. Maybe I sound like a boomer or loser, or something, I don't know, but I still very much like thinking and struggling. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Agreed with every word here💔

Купа проросійських інформаційних колаборантів намагаються навʼязати українцям відчуття програності у війні, мовляв все у нас дуже погано. Але, в Україні до сих пір не обвалилась економіка, працюють підприємства, є продукти в магазинах, ціни нормальні, фінансова сфера тримається, через день летять ракети та дрони на Росію, на 4й рік війни Росія ще не захопила навіть всю Донецьку область… навіть зі світлом стає краще. Безперечно, у нас є купа проблемних питань і криз, але це брехня казати що у нас в Україні на 4й рік війни все погано.

Founder of @signalapp, @moxie Marlinspike on Telegram:   "Telegrams not a private messenger. There's nothing private about it. It's the opposite. It's a cloud messenger where every message you've ever sent or received is in plain text in a database that telegram the organization controls and has access to it" "It's like 'Russian oligarch starts unencrypted version of WhatsApp', a pixel for pixel clone of WhatsApp. That should be kind of a difficult brand to operate. And somehow, they've done a really amazing job of convincing the whole world that this is an encrypted messaging app and that the founder is some kind of Russian dissident, even though he goes there once a month, the whole team lives there, and their families are there." " What happened in France is they just chose not to respond to the subpoena. And so that's in violation of the law. And, he gets arrested in France, right? And everyone's like, oh, France, but I think the key point is they have the data, like they can respond to the subpoenas where as Signal, for instance, doesn't have access to the data and couldn't respond to that same request.  To me it's very obvious that Russia would've had a much less polite version of that conversation with Pavel Durov and the telegram team before this moment.

You know, I was born in 1993 — in an independent Ukraine. Yet post-Soviet propaganda lived in our schools for a long time. We studied a triumphant, simplified, often fabricated history of the Soviet Union — a history in which the “side of the USSR” was automatically considered right and the only truth. Everything that did not fit this narrative was either silenced or presented in a distorted way. As I grew older and began to see the logical gaps in school textbooks, I started studying history on my own — not through official propaganda, but through the memoirs of people from different countries, different armies, and different ideologies. For example, I only learned at 19, studying independently, that the USSR invaded Poland after Hitler. Yet only today, preparing this text and re-checking the facts, I discovered that it was actually a coordinated division of Poland between Hitler and Stalin, formalized in the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and its secret protocols. This means it is never too late to learn. The Prime Minister of Belgium, @Bart_DeWever , was born in 1970. By age and by office, he should know a little more than I do. But I will allow myself to remind him of a few lessons from history — because they seem to be slipping from his rhetoric, whether due to fear or simple misunderstanding. On the eve of the Second World War, Belgium — much like today — tried to remain neutral. It believed that restraint and the desire not to “provoke” an aggressor would protect it from war. But history knows no case in which fear stopped a rapist or a murderer. On May 10, 1940, Hitler invaded anyway. Belgium fell in 18 days. During the German breakthrough through Belgium toward France, approximately 6,093 Belgian soldiers were killed, and another 2,000 died in captivity. The price of the illusion of safety turned out to be devastating. In total, Belgium lost around 88,000 people during the Second World War — soldiers, civilians, victims of the Holocaust, repression, bombings, and forced labor. After capitulation, the Belgian army was sent to prisoner-of-war camps. And although it may sound strange, even Nazi Germany in many cases adhered to international rules concerning Western prisoners — unlike the USSR and unlike modern-day russia. At the same time, German propaganda worked relentlessly. The Nazis managed to recruit 15,000–20,000 Belgian volunteers into the Flemish and Walloon SS divisions. This is a telling number: occupation, fear, and propaganda always break a part of society — exactly as russia does today in the occupied territories of Ukraine. So did fear and neutrality — the desire not to provoke the aggressor — save Belgium then? The question is rhetorical. Now — to Prime Minister De Wever’s statements about russia When Belgium says today that it fears confiscating russian assets because of the threat of retaliation from moscow — this is not just concern. This is a repetition of the same logic that once opened the door to the Nazi blitzkrieg. The rhetoric and behavior of the Belgian Prime Minister demonstrate not only the caution of a small state facing a large threat — they reveal a deeper problem. His words reflect the mindset of someone who: • does not believe in his own security, • does not trust the strength of allies, • is not convinced that Europe and NATO can protect him from an aggressor. This is classic victim psychology: fear paralyzes more than the threat itself, risks are exaggerated, one’s own capabilities are underestimated, and the aggressor gains influence simply from the fact of your fear. And the main problem is not even that Belgium is afraid. The problem is that it fears russia more than it trusts Europe and NATO. Fear has never saved anyone from a killer. Submission has never saved anyone from a rapist. Appeasement has never stopped an aggressor — it only makes him bolder and whets his appetite. Therefore, Belgium’s position is not just disagreement with the confiscation of russian assets. It is a symptom of a crisis of Western political will, when part of Europe still thinks in categories of “better not provoke moscow” instead of “we are strong, we stand together, we defend freedom.” This is not just submission — it is a stimulus to the appetite of the russians, and I hope Mr. De Wever understands that his fear is already an argument for russia to consider invading Europe. If Europe continues responding with fear instead of determination, this will mark the beginning of the West’s defeat. Europe must respond to such behavior. Those who try to sit on two chairs must face sanctions as well. This is not a time when one can remain neutral while standing on a battlefield. The battlefield is all of Europe, and there is only one occupier here — russia. All those who support it must be held responsible.
