This is my second time bookmarking this meme.

…I can’t find the first.

Right? It makes Afganistan (the Soviet and US one) look like nothing. A calamity doesnt even begin to describe it.

Ugh, you said that way too well.

Still (again, rolling with the reasoning), it’s an existential problem, no matter who’s fault it is or how much of a victim they are or how much fatalism they’ve accepted…

I can understand the mistrust of the system, but I can’t understand the conclusion that some anonymous yahoo with no inside perspective somehow has the resources to have figured it all out.

There was always some percentage of the population that believes in that stuff, for a variety of understandable reasons.

That’s… fine. It kinda worked.

The problem is social media has amplified those voices by orders of magnitude because they’re engaging (hence, profitable). The missing panel above is the FB post, YT segment, podcast (all recommended algorithmically) or whatever that led that guy down the rabbit hole.

In other words, It’s not a content problem, but an engagement one.

I mean, billions of people would disagree with you. Many would say Ukraine and their western backers are at fault.

But theoretically, I am struggling to picture how Russia’a war goals (again, accepting every reason for its continuation from Russia) could possibly be beneficial to Russia, and the um oppressed Ukrainian people, in light of this measurable effect on demographics. Whatever the reason for Russia staying in Ukraine is, even with the most extreme sympathetic view of Russia and their position, it is clearly not worth it, and they should just capitulate an pull out for their own benefit.

…Wow.

So what’s the tankie angle to this? From that perspective, the war is objectively awful for Russia, even if all the stated war goals are true.

Valve is getting first dibs at the next AMD SoC as far I’ve heard

This is huge if true, as Van Gogh (the Deck chip) was a seperate “line” than all the overly CPU-heavy laptop chips other handhelds are using at the moment.

I figured. Works for me on desktop linux too.

AV1 support is just one more of those things Apple has been dense about.

Probably because it’s AV1.

I just noticed it doesn’t work on my IPhone (16) not even through the link: https://files.catbox.moe/foodzx.webm

But the VP9 one does. That’s… Disappointing.

Test:

EDIT: Seems to work! Didn’t realize I could embed videos like that, there’s no shortcut in the browser UI.

Yeah, I guess a link is fine, but can I embed them somehow?

EDIT: Embedding seems to work.
