Can't wait for the sky-blue Ukrainian camo F16s. https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/23862/ukrainian-air-force-f16-skin-pack
Yeah the lack of irrigation and wilder summers might cause literal deserts in the south of the country in the next couple of years.
- Gaming is less stable overall but it's exponentially better now thanks to Valve and the Steam Deck driving support. Like seriously, from a cointoss whether it even launches a couple years ago to 74% Gold or Platinum on the top 1000 games on Steam.
- Programming is easier (you can ask your commandline to install all you need at once instead of having to painstakingly individually install and set up requirements or addons to programming languages), but you don't have access to Visual Studio if you're working on C# or C++.
- Web browsing is identical, watching movies too. I've never had a problem using LibreOffice and OnlyOffice as a replacement for Word and PowerPoint, but I don't use many complicated features in Word or PowerPoint so your mileage may vary.
- Photoshop, Premiere, etc are a pain to get good replacements for, OBS for recording and DaVinci Resolve for editing is a really powerful pair though.
- I vouch for Mint with XFCE too. It was very fast on my laptop and some of the themes now are pretty. It barely uses any RAM. It has a Windows-style start menu and taskbar.
Just be warned that your family members will probably have (usually solvable) issues if they want to do anything beyond web browsing. It's a different operating system after all and it works differently in a lot of ways. Definitely recommend looking up some videos about Mint, XFCE, transitioning from Windows to Linux.
Jesus. First time I've heard about RAAMS recently and now drone-laid mines. That is dense as hell too! I'm anxious about these upcoming months.
Another scenario would be if Ukraine does in fact lose - and at this point, it is looking likely - that Washington can attribute their loss to Kiev’s inability to take their advice.
Very interesting assessment. They trained 9 new brigades for this counteroffensive and are committing a minimal force at the moment. I don't understand the demographic they're trying to capture with this article, it just seems a bit silly. If there's no visible progress by September and with a much greater dedicated force than now then sure I think we should worry; the war is far from over and there is a dangerous road ahead for Ukraine.
The article tries to link the defence budget of the US to stuff like the gutting of BBB and decreasing access to food stamps. But in reality they're not linked. They're using the pre-defined arms budget of the state and dedicating it to funding the Ukrainian Armed Forces. There is no F-16 being delivered that could have been used to feed a person in the US or vice versa. First time I've heard of "Belograd" as well, maybe the author meant Belgorod hehe.
any grippers in chat??
