Russia just can't help making a joke out of itself...
the internet in russia must be so good now
I play a lot of deadlock lately and i wish it was worse.
They must have taken into account the future inflation rates when they expect to receive the payment..
It's no surprise there aren't any good standup comics in Russia.
The best comic relief they have is running the country lmao
there aren't any good standup comics in Russia
I literally don’t believe this. I do believe that you won’t read about them on the open internet though. The human condition is universal, and includes humor. It’s dangerous to “other” the entire population of a country.
Also, as you point out, Ivan Standupkov doesn’t even have to be particularly good because the material that surrounds him practically writes itself.
So what does this mean for any existing business they do in Russia? I’m thinking mainly android / play store and things like YouTube?
They stopped any business in Russia in 2022 acvording to the article.
Guessing consumer products are still working though. Would like to know as well!
And was there somebody representing Google in the court? I doubt it.
Texaco when you call them out for enslaving people
I just feel bad for the IT guy that has to desperately make a computer system that hasn’t been funded since the invention of computers handle this bullshit math and giant numbers.
It goes off my screen, it it 2 googol?
Google will soon owe Russia a googol

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
