How fitting that the material usually comes from eyeteeth!
Yeah, it's the reverse of what's often pushed in the media. There have even been initiatives for autonomous EU security projects, with the US (I think even Trump at some point, despite what he says now about NATO) being against anything that would undermine NATO.

I don't think America would/should shed blood for Ukraine nor Europe for that matter. We have bigger issues at the moment, like illegal immigrants, drug cartels, corruption, and China's stated ambitions in the Pacific.
But was it overlooked though? We are looking at it
China has been supplying Russia missing materials (semiconductors, mostly; see: https://ssi.armywarcollege.edu/SSI-Media/Recent-Publications...) and permitting their citizens to serve as mercinaries (see: https://www.newsweek.com/china-news-mercenaries-killed-ukrai...).

For China, a balkanized nuclear Russia may be a greater threat than supplying them manpower (due to surplus men and civil unrest) and materiel. I would not expect Russia to run into the WW1 germany problem.
"Russia supported the Ba'athist administration of former President Bashar al-Assad of Syria from the onset of the Syrian conflict in 2011: politically, with military aid, and (from September 2015 to December 2024) with direct military involvement."

Very much so. Thanks
It doesn’t support economic models in the long run, unless you start modifying the definitions of “consumption”, “growth” and “value created”. It also doesn’t work well unless you create some utopia where everything is automated for old people and they can live without support from the younger generation.

The problem has not been solved, and all western governments are hoping to delay the problem through immigration. This buys them time to see what solution Japan, SK and China can come up with, and copy that instead of taking risks with potentially abysmal results.
Alone? Maybe.

Vulnerable and weak?

Um, anyone who believes this is just not engaging in dispassionate analysis of the situation. We are a lot of not so good things. Weak is not one of them.

Especially when that nuclear power is Russia. After all, if we had to credit a single country, Russia defeated both Napoleon and Hitler.
yet how do you defeat him right now ? if western stocks are completely depleted, and in the battlefield Ukraine (with all help of western countries) has 1 to 5 or 10 ratio of ballistic to Ukraine / China.
Acknowledging this basic fact hurts to the ego but may save millions of lifes.
Acknowledging this fact makes you think to your sole remaining strategy: separate Putin from Xi and gain time to enhance your military industry.
Acknowledging this fact does not make you pro-Putin as you still prefer a democratic world.
Of course, you will not be very successful in meetings. You can afford such non sense when you have no skin in the game.
But if the lifes of your cousin is at stake, you think in a real world with real terms, what to do to spare your population !

…security guarantees which the US does not want to give. So who’s at fault here?
I think the "mineral rights" deal might play into this. In the full interview[0], Trump mentions it right off the bat, and talks about how it "means we're going to be inside".

I think it goes in tandem with your number (3). Like you say, why would Russia not violate the agreement? I think maybe the move is "well now we have citizens in there working so don't blow us up". It's one thing for Russia to attack the Ukraine, but another if they have collateral damage that takes out Americans.

I don't even know how valuable the actual underlying resources are, so much as a bit of "kayfabe" between the Ukraine, US, and Russia, that things are different.

Anyway, that's my hope.

I uninstalled Firefox this morning after reading about these sus af changes.

Tried Librewolf and found it to be great,

- No Pocket bullshit.

- I forgot I had the start page set to blank only because Firefox was fixed on ruining it while forbidding using a custom one.

Migrating took me 20m, and I'm glad I did it because it left be a backup of something that so far only Mozilla kept for me.

- Exporting/Importing bookmarks takes 20s. (Ctrl-Shift-o, export/import).

- Exporting passwords is simple (Preferences, search for passwords. Alternatively just go to about:logins).

- I had many extensions to install, but the ones that need heavy customisation all had export/import. Migrating passwords was easy through a (totally not safe) csv file.

- The only troublesome extension was Video Download Helper, but after re-running `vdhcoapp install` I figured I just needed to copy `~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/` into `~/.librewolf/`.

I'm kind of stuck with Android. I don't know of an alternative, but haven't spent time looking for one yet.
I've never been in a science position, but if there are too many back and forths I assume it is a who has more willingness to put up with process before they just give up and sign off on anything.
I prefer something kind of objective rather than looking at player strengths. The "depth needed to search to pick equal move" is my best answer, maybe revised to be "and isn't found with a couple of simple heuristics" to clean it up some.

"Glory", so not specifics around hypothetical land Putin aka Hitler 2.0 imagines he wants. There's no evidence for him saying anything besides … what he's literally says. This fantasy conjecture is weakening the international position on Ukraine, especially with such easy access to Russian translation tools where we can just expose this secret conspiracy of yours. He literally only talks about Ukraine, you can look into this yourself.

Or perhaps you mean "glory" in the sense of some kind of national pride and confidence in culture and nationality? I am not sure arguments against any nation seeking a sense of themselves are particularly compelling…
They think we don't know that it's corruption. It may be legal corruption, but it's corruption all the same. Even the MAGA folks are starting to figure it out.
Forget the EU. I don't care about the EU.

There’s a strong argument to go with who has the most satellites.
This is just an argument for letting powerful countries take over weaker ones, because resistance would result in suffering.
I watched the entire meeting attentively from start to finish, and in my opinion, nothing major happened. There was a slight argument, but then the emotions cooled down a bit. What did happen, however, was complete madness in the media. The media went crazy. I think any rational person should know that it’s not worth listening to the media, especially mainstream ones.
The argument is that appeasing Putin in Donbas will work about as well as appeasing him in Crimea, creating successively more damaging conflicts in Europe until Article 5 gets tested and either NATO falls apart or we enter a hot war with Russia, and yeah, that's gonna cost money. You know that this is the point of the WWII comparison, which is why you have so studiously ignored the argument, trying to dodge it harder than neo dodging bullets in the first matrix.
We do not know if it is capable of sympathy. Post training it to reliably be sympathetic feels manipulative. Can it atleast be post trained to be honest. Dishonesty is immoral. I want my AIs to behave morally.
Yes! ATACMS is legacy.

There were only a few M1s given. MANY more M1s were used against the Iraqi Army!

The stream of weapons has been more of a trickle of weapons. The Javelins have good PR with the nice Saint Javelin but the British-Swedish N-LAWs are wicked and the tens of thousands of the Bofors AT4 did a lot of the initial grunt work.
well then i’m even more ashamed of my country lol. high pressure?

Not going to happen. EU has its own massive problems. And the countries are not aligned on the politics at all.
Russia wants all of Ukraine. They tried to invade Kyiv.

So I'm talking about those specific territories -- all of Ukraine.

You don't really think that giving up the territory Russia has taken already is going to stop Russia from advancing further?
That's true, I'm mostly pissed about Apple locking down the iOS browser ecosystem, which is not the case on macOS.
While I think Firefox and Chrome did not have a level playing field especially the release of the M1, because Apple has started optimizing Safari for their arm64 platform for example way earlier than FF/Chrome even could. Also, obviously, Safari can focus on a single OS while Chrome/Firefox has a lot more to manage here. But I mean, that's not Apples fault.

Still, while I also experienced the problems you referenced with Firefox on my M1 for months or a year, it has greatly improved and IMO is at this point on par with Safari. With the plus of being open, having a huge community and heavy customization options, and privacy. But with the minus of being ugly in comparison to Safari, I must say.

So yeah I mostly am in line with your opinion, apart from one thing:

> so it's not like there's all that much competition.

This, at least this is my opionion, is no argument. It's playing down the importance of free choice IMO. It should not be more okay to disallow alternative browsers based on the existence of alternatives. I mean, if they never allow it, there will never be any. We can just hope that at some point some competitors will rise again, maybe Firefox will get a bigger foothold, or Ladybird, or Servo, or whatever. I'm just trying to keep my hopes high here, haha.
Ask the people who tried to scale the Berlin wall before the collapse of the Iron

We want peace! If your own country was invaded, would you be saying the same thing? Just roll over and let them have their way with you? I'm genuinely curious if you have the courage of what you say your convictions are.
> Even if you did, that's about 1/3 the US military, and nowhere near as well armed, or well trained, or well psychologically prepared.

Nowhere near as well armed as the US. But I would argue perfectly well trained. But I laugh at your assertion that the French military is not as psychologically prepared for war.
Not at all clear. Are voters really that stupid? Seems more likely there are more evil people around us than we expected, and they knowingly voted for evil.
If the world is smaller today then it means it was bigger at that time. What are you confused about?
Most countries can't afford funding a war on this magnitude even if they wanted to. And this war still squarely concerns solely the West, which the US is a part of, even if Trump overestimates the size of that pond.
Heck, less than half of Western Europeans would fight to defend their own country[0]. In the UK, only a third of people surveyed would do so. That's less than those who believe that the US would come to their aid!

I don't think the blame is on America here.

>The description here is suggesting that Firefox are still committed to never doing that or anything similar.

This runs into what I'm calling the "who ordered that" problem, because this represents a retreat from a stronger commitment to privacy, and is not a conception of privacy that anyone was asking for, or that satisfies anyone who is concerned about privacy.

I don't want my interest in sci-fi to be made to conflict with my preference from buying locally, and influence campaigns urging me buy books through Preferred LArge Retailer and pushing me toward that clash are a problem whether the data powering them is personal or fed into an abstracted anonymized group.

And depersonalized profiling that "knows" I can be sorted into a specific "type of guy" bucket may involve learning things about me that I don't want to be inputs into marketing. They can still, for instance, make inroads into judgements about things like self esteem (e.g. colognes and beauty products), financial precarity, and can work to socialize groups into consumerist self-conceptions. They probably can be used to make inroads into classic forms of privacy violations like "looking to buy a home" or "trying to get pregnant" or other such aspects of identity that I don't want marketing to touch.
Nukes don't give Russia infinite resources. Russia's economy is suffering. They've mostly ran out of modern tanks (except for the T-14 which still hasn't seen combat somehow), they're using donkeys for trucks now, their artillery has lost the punch it had two years ago. They're mostly sending demoralized soldiers in deadly human wave assaults, and dropping bombs on cities. That's all they've got left.

Russia has the economy of a medium-sized EU nation. The EU is vastly more powerful. If the EU wants to, they can give Ukraine everything they need to win. Only they're divided and unwilling to believe in their strength after 80 years of dependency on the US.
We burn cash at the front and the richest nation wins.
> Your comment deflects to reasons for the war.

This war started in the early 2010s as fossil fuel reserves were discovered all over Ukraine and Russian and US policy makers both rushed to gain control over them.

I'm surprised that people don't remember, but the US did support far right Ukrainian groups that did have Nazi sympathies in 2014. I remember because I had Ukrainian friends that where terrified at the types of people the US government was enabling.

There are no "good guys" in this conflict. It's two (well more than that) powerful groups of people with an interest in controlling fossil fuel resource in the regional. All other narrative around this are pure propaganda designed to get you to support the murder of Ukrainians in the interests of oligarchs around the world.
With all due respect, that is a really stupid argument. The official NATO position was that Ukraine will eventually become a NATO member, Bucharest summit 2008. That position remained unchanged, at least until the beginning of the Russian invasion. The Russian demand was and probably is, that Ukraine will not become a NATO member in the future, not that it is not a NATO member right now. To the best of my knowledge, NATO has never stated that it will not bar Ukraine from joining NATO indefinitely or something even remotely similar.

And while you think Russia just wanted the territory, I think Russia just does not want US troops or weapons at their borders, just as the USA would probably not enjoy Chinese troops or weapons in Mexico. Or how they did not like Soviet nuclear weapons in Cuba. Or how they in 2022 threatened consequences to Solomon Islands - 10,000 km from US borders - if they allowed China to establish a military base.
Look at the high level of Russian immigration into occupied Crimea.
I don't think the US is "too big to fall", and the US seems to have taken that road.

Maybe I’m a bit slow and I’m not following. Why does using chromium give Google a monopoly? One might argue the opposite: that having a lot of stakeholders prevents Google from unilaterally applying unpopular changes, because a large critical mass can simply fork it.

How do you square your beliefs with the fact that Russia took Crimea, decided that wasn't enough, and went back for more?
US, Russia, Israel, North Korea - new axis of evil.
It's not warmongering to allow a country that has been invaded to determine how and how long they defend their country and which approaches they take towards peace.

Is it possible that you haven't been raised in a free democratic country? That would explain your patronizing attitude towards elected governments and other countries. Otherwise, I don't know what to say. It's really about sovereignty.

On a side note, it is never a good idea to allow your judgments to get clouded by anecdotal "evidence", let alone videos on social media. Use statistical data instead.

I like Krebs. It's just that he is an expert in cyber security and not national defense or military.

My take from reading the more neutral guardian article is that the Americans don't see russia as a threat, probably because they have faith in their public and private cyber defense. And possibly also because they do similar cyber attacks, so they don't hold it against them.

It's good to see US Rus relations improving, I don't know what to tell ya.

Syria, with its 17+ factions (including ISIS) rebellion is definitely... complicated. I wouldn't know where to lay blame, personally.
My guess is he's being pushed out as president and is forced to sign the deal, by internal political forces who are likely pro-Trump or pro-Putin.

This news press is his only chance to potentially flip the script with his public opinion advantage. We will see how that goes.
You, as in the country.
That's been my career mindset. I've been in roles where my management has referred to me as a "rockstar" and it was a burden not a compliment. I'd rather be in a supportive team environment where everyone carries their own weight.

Compensation has been decent with this approach over the years. I could have made more staying longer in a darwinian bigco but the work was not fulfilling.
The US has been a bully since at least WW2. The US has been betraying "allies" for just as long.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been a godsend for US influence. Finland and Sweden joined NATO. The Russian military was exposed as a paper tiger. A huge portion of the Russian military's capability was destroyed without a single US military serviceman or asset being deployed. Russian energy exports to Europe (and the influence that gives them) have dropped to a mere fraction of what they were in 2020. Europe is now dependant on US LNG exports.

The second largest military in NATO is Turkey and Turkey is America's puppet. Turkey has been in direct military conflict with other NATO members (ie Greece) with the blessing of the US.

Ceding territory to Russia, which seems all but inevitable now, doesn't change the the security picture for Europe. Russia still can't occupy Ukraine. That was true before the invasion. It's still true now. They certainly can't roll into Poland let alone Germany and Western Europe.

The EU really has no interest in paying for their own security. Politically it's a nonstarter too with the right of far-right parties like National Front in France and AfD, AfD in Germany and Reform in the UK.
Does this confer from the depth of history, current Russia some magical abilities in the present?

This is magical thinking. Russia is near bankrupt.
> That will make the individual map operations thread-safe, but given that nobody thought of concurrency, are you sure series of operations are thread-safe? That is, are you sure the object that owns the tree-map is thread-safe. I wouldn't bet on it.

This is a very important point! And, in my experience, a common mistake by programmers who aren't great at concurrency.

Lets say you have a concurrent dynamic array. The array class is designed to be thread-safe for the explicit purpose that you want to share it between threads. You want to access element 10, but you want to be sure that you're not out of bounds. So you do this:

if (array.size() > 10) {
array.element(10).doSomething();
}

It doesn't matter how thread-safe this array class is: these two operations combined are NOT thread-safe, because thread-safety of the class only means that `.size()` and `.element()` are on their own not going to cause any races. But it's entirely possible another thread removes elements in between you checking the size and accessing the element, at which point you'll (at best) get an out-of-bounds crash.

The way to fix it is to either use atomic methods on the class which does both (something like `.element_or_null()` or whatever), or to not bother with a concurrent dynamic array at all and instead just use regular one you guard with a mutex (so the mutex is held during both operations and whatever other operations other threads perform on the array).
Crimea is the better comparison. The US appeased Russia on Crimea in 2014 (the sanctions were too weak) and it caused the Ukraine invasion in 2022. Why would appeasing on Donbas in 2025 work better?
