The bbc listed 160k confirmed Russian deaths at the end of 2025, with estimates of the actual total between 248 and 325k. So probably around 5-1 which is high for attackers vs defenders (I think historically this is estimated at a 3-1 disadvantage, so 1 defender dies for every 3 attackers).

Meaning Ukraine is doing a pretty good job and Russia a terrible one. Nothing new there

It’ll be quantum computing. Since the last hype around it, a lot of progress has been made to the point that quantum computers are actually becoming useful, since error correction is now mostly resolved.

I initially thought he was great. Their cloud business was booming, it looked like they were converging their tools, windows 10 had its flaws but was pretty good. But now the tools are an enormous mess because they have changed their minds 5 times over, Windows 11 is complete dogshit and all the tools that are actually handy are paywalled behind expensive licences. Copilot is being forcefed to unwilling users and every single one of their tools is becoming worse.

So yea, I think he’s a business illiterate because there is no strategy behind this mess.

I just checked and of course the stock went up.

Get a cat:

Facilitator is actually a pretty decent feature. It works pretty well for recurring meetings with a set agenda. The message shown is not very useful, but the automatic notes and summary are usually fairly good.

This is where the name of Stockholm syndrome comes from. It’s not that you fall in love with your captors, but rather that you fear less for your safety with the captors than with the police getting involved.

I didn’t have the option either. Waiting for the renewal to come up and switching to Nextcloud with Proton.

2 years ago I went to youtube without logging into my account. The amount of right wing manosphere crap being recommended to new accounts was frightening. Within 5 minutes there was a video playing of how women should be subservient to men because their role is basically a house cleaning baby factory with no free will.

I genuinely think google should be sued the everliving shit out of them for allowing this crap to be pushed. They looked at what facebook did and went “Oh, that’s great. Let’s do that as well!”

This whole thing hinges on a strong economy, some sort of super weapon and a weak Europe.

Their economy is shit, there isn’t and won’t be some super weapon and although Europe has a slow decision making process, the countries that matter are not as weak as Russia needs them to be.

The assumption Europe won’t cut Russian energy off was also wildly optimistic.

They’re still trying, but instead of a third empire they’re getting a century of backwardness and poverty. Well done Vladimir, you will go down as one of the worst rulers in history.

Just another AI agent bro, that will fix th

Out of Memory or System Resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.

But can they fuck up the environment the way we do? I don’t think so

Not for himself, as he just joined the billionaire club. I would probably have ruined it for a billion as well, if I’m being completely honest.

Yes, 23H2 at the moment.

Edit: Enterprise edition, to be clear. Home and Pro 23H2 were eol a couple of weeks ago.

We’re running the oldest supported Windows version in our enterprise just to make sure these non-stop stream of Microsoft fuck-ups doesn’t affect us too much.

We are not ready though. Mentally, sure, but in case of an all out war we would still run out of ammo, bombs and manpower in weeks. Only now do we see the first factories and production lines coming online based on the investments of the past years and even then not all the supply lines have been adjusted for it. Europe could probably be ready by the end of 2027 at the earliest, provided it removes its command and control dependency from the US.

Realistically, Europe won’t be ready until 2030. That’s not to say we wouldn’t be able to get ready sooner, we absolutely would, if we were to switch to a war economy. But nobody wants that, because it ruins your economy and is grossly expensive.

That doesn’t mean we would get crushed, that wouldn’t be the case, but we would be on the defensive for a while until the gears of war are properly greased.

I feel this is where the coalition of the willing as the dubbed it, need to step up and say “fuck this”, find a solution for the frozen assets, establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine and put the US under pressure to stop being a little bitch and continue the intel support.

That being said, without US sanctions and support this would become exponentially harder to do.

First world = capitalism

Second world = communism

Third world = all the rest

I don’t like large 4k displays because the resolution is so good it breaks the immersion when you watch a movie. You can see that they are on a set sometimes, or details of clothing in medieval movies that give away they were created with modern sewing equipment.

It’s a bit of a stupid reason I guess, but that’s why I don’t want to go above 1080p for tv’s.
