Well... India is still a partner so Putin still has that...

The people of Bucha got a taste of the "Russian spiritual and moral values" and we will not forget!

So you purchase ordinary suspension but get active suspension that works exactly like ordinary suspension and cost like active suspension to service....

It's time we get legislation that gives the consumer access to all encryption key pairs used in the product they purchased.

(For you who don't know what encryption key pairs are used for: they are used for the software to know that a change order, like "activate suspension", is legit and therefore will be executed.)

In its email, Google states that it is closing down the program because of the "overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts." This has led to researchers submitting fewer vulnerabilities than before.

1. Vulnerabilities are found, which shows that the program is successful and needed.
2. No vulnerabilities are found, no money will have to leave Google.

Keeping the program will reap the benefits from both no. 1 and no.2 while closing down the program only enables no.2.

Not hard to see the priorities here....

They know that the helicopter landed hard but doesn't know anything about the status of the president hours after the incident?

Sounds like they saw the decent on the radar and still haven't been able to get in touch with the crew... which indicates that it might have been more than just a hard landing.

On the other hand... Crashing is a very hard landing....

If you want to promote your position - and it may not please someone and that is normal in a democratic society - take responsibility. What are you afraid to say who you are?

While I understand the problems the propaganda machines of Russia and China (among other) causes, this here is some stupid shit

Try to criticize Putin openly while living in Russia, speak up for the freedom to love and have sex with whoever you want in Uganda or publish pictures of Muhammad as a dog and sign all of it with your name and see what will happen.

Anonymity is a double edged sword. While being "nice to have" in a democracy it's a "must have" in a dictatorship.

Let's call it for what it is:

Planned obsolescence.

There are two important sides to this and you are only focusing one of them.

One is of course supporting Ukraine, as you point out, but what is also extremely important is not to let Russia get away with their obvious bullshit propaganda.

Russia is working hard on getting rid of the sanctions. One of the main tools used are to try to get people in the West to believe to Russian economy is unaffected.

It is not.

(If it was, Putin wouldn't fx deal with North Korea like they've been doing the last year.)

So if no one was calling out Putin and his useful idiots on fx Facebook or Lemmy, how long do you think the public in the West would support Ukraine?

Both sides produce propaganda so it will probably take months until we know whether this is true or not.

We know that they have no respect whatsoever for human life, whether it's civilians or their own soldiers, so if they could they would have used it long ago in this way.

So yeah, I'm not going to consider this as trustworthy until there are sources confirming this that aren't Russian and like Iran, China, India and South Africa.

But then again, you never know when the service you rely on will be canned by Google.

How many Instant Messengers have we(yes, I'm an Android user) been through now?

TIL Customers aren't customers. Customers are investments.

DaVinci Resolve.

There is simply nothing that even come close.
