Streaming fell apart quickly, it's so hard to find anything decent on most of them. It's become clear they can't curate new content as readily.

Everything is falling down:

  • Google is dropping Reddit and Twitter from their searches.
  • Twitter is throttling Tweets and you have to signin to view anything. Which would be crazy antivaxxer radicals, so not missing anything. No more free API use.
  • YouTube is blocking you after 3 videos if you use an adblocker.
  • Reddit has killed all 3rd party apps among API changes
  • Now Gfycat is going, man that's like most of the sites I used since a kid. Imgur seems to be around still at least.

And Pinterest. I want my quality searches back.

Yeah, I'm still torn between the old subs and lemmy. Most communities aren't active or created here yet.

This is actually sounds better than I thought, didn't think volunteers were helping this much. Everything else seems spoton from what the UA has found in abandoned Russian positions. It should be noted they're using expired stuff from the Cold War era.

It's a surprise that defecting isn't more common given how bad things have degraded.

So how is Endling? not much talk about it.

It's posturing, they know they've been rehashing the same base vehicles since the Cold War. There aren't many modern vehicles that match Western Standards. It's worked for awhile but now the cats out of the bag.

Says Cosmic Background, they have a store. Got one of their moon shots on my wall.

I found one cyber security but they're all still getting off the ground. Most are inactive over a week.

I fought in the Great Reddit Wars.

This is the high level insights needed, was curious how Ukraine was pushing across. Seems to be Russian doctrine to launch a counter offensive in answer no matter how suicidal. Losing Naval units will cause issues elsewhere.

It will be a gruelling fight for both sides. Small naval units have been battling each other since Kherson was captured. No successful amphibious landings at Kinburn Spit either. Best chance is that the Russians are trying to stabilise on several fronts and lack manpower.

This will be to Ukraine's advantage if they can sieze the initiative and push out of the bridgehead. Onto more stable land and use engineers to get some bridge going.
