Watched this some time ago. BadComedian is a film reviewer. The video is split into two parts, first being a review of a film “Marie, Save Moscow”, and the second is about the narrative that is being promoted in RU mass media - Ivan Ilyin and Ivan Shmelyov are being shown in good light, “faith allows people to win”, and so on. The film is about, and I am serious here, how “cold blooded communist woman” becomes “faithful and kind” through ortodox christianity. English is hard, I will expand the comment later.

There are more movies like this. Movies that promote perversion of Great Patriotic War, USSR and nazism. BadComedian also reviewed these two films (this one has RU subtitles, you can enable translation to EN) which promote orthodox faith as an important factor for winning. The second one even has… SS officer shaking hand with Soviet soldier and in a different momet had said “I will not kill you brother”. Do I need to say how vile this all is? Oh, there is also a movie that is straight up pornographic. And, just to add a cherry on top, these films are actively promoted on state media, and sometimes are sponsored by “Cinema Fund of Russia”, which is spending tax money.

These movies are not about the Great Patriotic War.

edit: another one, with EN subtitles proper. I recommend watching it whole, but the moment at 17:25 should be enough to clarify what I mean by “perversion”.

In Russia, being trans without gender marker in the documents changed and watching news about Argentina is terrifying. While the Ukraine does not currently prohibit getting F64.0, it may do that very quickly, using the “they are doing this to dodge the draft” rhetoric.

I am afraid that some of my friends (or, in the worst case, everyone) won’t be able to get out.

Since the regular points have already been covered by other people, I’ll add one thing that I like:

Two batteries. The external one is drained first, and it can be replaced while the laptop is running, because there’s an internal battery. I have 24Wh internal, a 16Wh external (it’s old, originallly it was 24Wh) and 72Wh external, in a 12 inch laptop (achievable because 72Wh battery sticks out and acts like a stand), giving me more battery life than anything else without an external power bank.

And I got mine for dirt cheap.

cuuuute!

also, do I select the box where there is only a horse tail? It has a horse in it but it’s not a lot of horse…

I really need to keep writing code, and instead of that I keep being anxious about my future.

Most of Steam games rely on Proton for support. You need to enable it in Steam’s settings, under Steam Play.

You can check how well a game runs on protondb. Some games may require additional steps to be playable (using a specific version of Proton, installing something), protondb reports most of the time include required information.

Based on idtech 3, so Q3

The bottom part is supposed to say “both do”

“do” is overloaded in English, and the translator had picked the “doing something” meaning. For RU, it would be better to use “both are bad” or “both”, which would be “Оба плохие.” and “Оба.”.

They are going to introduce a flat fee for every install of a game. From what I know, they are promising to not count Game Pass and charities (and we already see how this promise is being upheld) and pirated copies (how this will be tracked though?), but they are going to charge for multiple installs of a game by one user (reinstalling or changing phones, for example).

In certain conditions, this fee can be more than 100% of the game’s gross revenue.

This video explores the probable reason
