57·10 hours agoRussian state media. Not a credible source for anything (see also the other articles for some glaring examples of misinformation).
Although if Ukraine has less PoWs to exchange, part of the reason might be that Russia would rather see their soldiers die than surrender. They actively shoot their own soldiers.
342·13 hours agoWhat a poorly written piece of garbage propaganda. It starts with the lie that the US started the in Ukraine, when it’s only Putin who wanted that war, and only Putin who can stop it. If it was a proxy war, would Trump be sucking up to Putin? If Ukraine was the US’s puppet, Trump’s surrender to Putin would have worked and Putin’s conquest would have been successful.
Instead, the Russian economy is struggling because a million soldiers were sacrificed at the frontlines while many others fled the country. It’s only China propping them up that allows Russia to continue their pitiful war.

It probably didn’t help that I recently recommended him to buy Nvidia rather than AMD for a recent upgrade, because Nvidia had lower power requirements, and I don’t his his PSU would have been able to handle the comparable AMD.

And yes, “love the sinner, hate the sin”, but also protect vulnerable people from harm, and a lot of those conservatives are explicitly looking to hurt people.
My son also picked Bazzite, which I hadn’t heard of before. Unfortunately he didn’t like it and it back to Windows again.
22·2 days agoThere’s no list, and it was made by the democrats, and some of the people on it don’t deserve to be on it, but Bill Clinton is on it too, so that’s why I won’t release the list that doesn’t exist.
VS is itself short for Visual Studio, the first IDE I ever used, and the first MS product I liked. So VS Code Studio means Visual Studio Code Studio.
Why Visual? Because 25 years ago MS was pushing Visual C++, where you would drag and drop visual components together and then figure out where to put the C++ code to make them work.
There are a lot of Christians of many different varieties. None of the Christians I know would agree with conservative Americans.
I don’t, but the various books in the Bible were written in specific times and contexts, often times when slavery was common. The bible puts limits on slavery, says at various places to release slaves after 7 years, to pay them, to treat them well.
One place in the NT that deals with slavery (and is pretty controversial because of that), is when Paul sends an escaped slave back to his master, with a letter to the master telling him to treat the slave as a brother, because they’re brothers in Christ, both children of God.
Paul was trying to spread Christianity in Greece, where slavery was very common, and outright condemning it would probably make a lot of Greeks reject it. There are a lot of places where you can see Paul being very pragmatic about stuff as long as it helps spread the Word. So I guess “here’s you’re slave, but remember he’s your brother” is his compromise with slavery.

Love them? But also counter their false teachings. Loving the people they mislead or hurt, and save them from harm.
As a Christian, I’m utterly disgusted by how these people are perverting my religion that’s supposed to be all about love for others. For your enemy, even.
Feed the poor, shelter the homeless, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned and welcome the foreigner. That’s how we will be judged, according to Matthew 25.
The pervert the words of Jesus. First the Prosperity Gospel, and now this.
Hours is enough to empty them. If I see them parked in front of our house late in the evening, I don’t think they’re going to go out anymore today. It’s far more likely that they forgot to turn them off than that they intentionally kept them on.
Fortunately, they rarely flash, but burn continuously. I think the flashing ones are illegal here, and they can be super annoying.
Yeah, real shame Maemo never got anywhere. I really liked the idea.
Atop being so negative about slavery, because we want to bring it back.
All these tech giants have their own area where they are the absolute worst, and other areas where they’re not as bad as some of the others.
Apple sucks on app store restrictions, but on the desktop OS, the respect user privacy more than Google and MS do. Google is the absolute worst on ads, tracking and using search to leverage their monopoly, but they’ve also made a ton of cool stuff, including Android. MS makes the worst piece of shit OS and forces everybody to use it while they make it worse, but I’m sure there’s also something they do right.
Good man.
I do the same, but with bicycle lights that people have left on. I know how annoying it is to find your battery empty.
3·4 days agoI like the idea, but I’m annoyed by the inconsistency.
The þ is the th sound in “both”, but not the th sound in “the”; that’s a ð.

Unlike Russian state media, western media is independent and not beholden to their government, but nice try.
