I would take what our jingoistic media and talking heads say with a very large pinch of salt. It's quite disrespectful to Ukrainian soldiers to say they've been facing an "antique show of an invasion", not to mention Russian engineers. Propaganda aside, both sides have fought hard in what has been a very modern war.

Every country uses a combination of older and newer equipment in any war. The war propaganda wizards just try to make things like that look unique to Russia.

Ditching libraries with very long build times unless they are absolutely essential too.

I'd never heard of that, thanks for the link!

brainfuck is a member of an exclusive club of languages where it's much easier to write a compiler for it than to read a program written in it.

I use Manjaro (kindof btw) with the Gnome desktop and didn't know there were that many. Not all are installed by default here anyway.

Using platform independent package managers instead of relying on system libraries seems like a more straightforward solution to a good part of the problem at least. It's often good to use multiple compilers as well, which would add to the bloat of the container. There are probably some gnarly situations where pros outweigh the cons though.

I've wondered what their figures are looking like now that alternative platforms are gaining popularity. Possible shrinkage of users? I know that a lot of content creators are publishing on multiple platforms now. When that happens a company typically starts to milk existing customers for more money to maintain shareholder value (short term).

Yes, or something like [murena]{https://murena.io} which is a free (for 1GB or pay for more storage) cloud service that runs on NextCloud. It's what /e/OS uses for storing/syncing calendar etc.

I'm too cynical. I hope to once again share some faith in the system again. All the best!

It's the section "Access to electronic evidence" and the talk of encryption there, with delegates pressing "lawful access by design". They aren't dreaming of lawful access to encrypted byte streams and when there's a backdoor for lawful access today, it's available for different laws tomorrow. They do seem like they are on the same page on this, which isn't surprising since it was floated onto the G7 agenda from wherever globalist policy originates from.
