Ukraine War
Notice that you are the one who switched from actual arguments to empty rhetoric.
Did you realize he is making fun of people left withouth water? What kind of definition of "comedian" do you have?
You just realized that you have no idea of the things I mentioned.
Ukraine War
Is your wave of indignation already over?
This is Zelensky in 2014 making fun of people from Crimea left without water:
Ukraine War: Refuting Russian propaganda
The only genocide is that by Ukrainian Nazis against ethnic group of Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
Again, 14 000 victims recognized by United Nations.
"Divided Ukraine: What Language Do You Express Love In?" is a documentary on this 8 years war, by Italian and American journalists. Is that Russian propaganda too?
Can you consider the possibility that you are inside a propaganda bubble and that there are things that have been kept from you by the Western media?

> but the bottom line is that Ukraine wouldn't need to defend anything if Russia hadn't started its aggressive war of conquest in the first place, so we all know damn well which came first.
Oh, so you know what "Russian propaganda" says but you don't know the stated reasons for its intervention?
Don't you know that the war has been going on for 8 years, with the Ukrainian army bombing the Donbass just because its inhabitants spoke the Russian language and didn't accept the Ukrainian government put there by the USA?
Don't you know that there have been 14,000 deaths recognized by the UN?
Don't you know that the Ukrainian government banned Russian-language newspapers in Donbass?
Don't you know that Poroshenko said that Russian-speaking people would live in basements and their children would not go to school?
Don't you know that the Ukrainian government had left Crimea without water and there is even a video of Zelensky when he was still a comedian making fun of the deprived Crimeans on television?
Don't you know that Ukraine has never implemented Minsk's peace agreements and Merkel recently said that those agreements only served to take time and prepare Ukraine for war?
Why do you think Zelensky is laughing like an idiot in this video while Putin reiterates that Minsk's agreements need to be implemented?
Ukraine War: Refuting Russian propaganda
> If it's easier to hit a missile when it's close to its target, and that forces Ukraine to place anti-air defenses in the city... then it logically follows that the cities *are* the target.
It's addressed in my own post but let's make it more clear: this war is fought in cities only because the Ukrainian army is hiding in the cities. Again, the Ukrainian army has turned civilian buildings into hideouts and weapons depots.
> If Russia was only hitting military installations, that's where the defenses would be.
Sorry I don't understand what you mean here.
> We've all seen the videos of their missiles hitting playgrounds with no interference from the Ukranians.
I can't imagine a video that *proves* that the Russian military is aiming at real civilian targets.
> Your Russian propaganda isn't even internally consistent. It certainly isn't convincing.
Your answer was pathetic… this is not Russian propaganda, this is information from independent journalists like the Italian ones who are there providing video footages.
Even using logic only: in Western countries, Russian media like RT and Sputnik are censored, while in Russia Western media are visible as always. Which side would you say is inside a propaganda bubble?
Ukraine War: why Russians DON'T target civilians
How can one think that the Russian military strikes civilian targets and kills civilians on purpose? They know full well that the US wants nothing more than excuses to convict them, so they will avoid war crimes by any means.
It has been explained many times since the beginning, but here are again the three reasons behind alleged attacks on civilian targets:
1. The Ukrainian army cowardly takes refuge in the cities and transforms civilian buildings into positions and weapons depots which the Russian army then destroys.
2. The Ukrainian military uses missile interception systems directly in cities, because it's easier to hit a Russian missile when it's close to the target and they don't care if the derailed missile ends up on civilians.
3. The Ukrainian army has received NATO weapons that they don't know how to use and sometimes they hit civilian buildings by accident.
The countries that actually have been bombing whole countries for years killing civilians to annihilate and terrorize those countries are mainly US, Israel, UK and France. And they did so knowing that their media's massive propaganda would cover everything.

If I understand it correctly you are referring to the flexibility enabled by graph databases and how some PKM apps are taking advantage of it to let users define arbitrary schemas and ontologies.
But I think the people in that thread are thinking of graph-based apps as those where you link notes together in a network/graph and some of them even have a graphical visualization, like Logseq and Obsidian.
In both cases you are right that those apps need better UI/UX, despite you are referring to them with a different criterion.
Like the evidence of weapons of mass destruction never found in Iraq?

I was reminded of someone I saw talking about their work on a super nice native Slack-style chat app for Apple platforms called Quill. It got shut down after Twitter acquired them and had them work on Twitter DMs 🤦♂️
I tried looking up this app, but it's basically vanished from the internet even though it got acquired like a year ago. All that's left of the work they put into this is a few articles on tech sites and their website on the Wayback machine.

What web tech we can be optimistic about from @tmcw:
• Standardized APIs for many useful things (fetch, URL, Intl, etc.) eliminate the need for installed packages
• Those APIs can run on any JavaScript runtime, which there are starting to be many
• Frameworks are leaning into the web and generally headed toward an SSR model
• Tools are getting way faster
• More emphasis on the edge
• Computers themselves have taken strides
"National debt" is not a real debt as explained by #ModernMonetaryTheory , check Stephanie Kelton's book "The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy" for an introduction.
Also Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) wrote some articles on it.

Some friends and I were discussing why we do free software even though it often means doing tons of work for little or no money.
I think for me some major factors are the personal agency you have over the work (independent from employers/investors) and the potential for longevity that comes with having your work be part of the commons (projects can't be acquired and killed).
That kind of unalienated relationship to your creative output is very rare outside of maybe fine arts or entertainment.
FYI #Lemmy (lemmy.ml) is an alternative to Reddit that is decentralized like Mastodon using #ActivityPub , so it's part of the #Fediverse and you can interact with it from here.
Does this person really think being Open Source is a bad thing?
Anyway you seem to be talking about graph databases: why the user should care if an app uses a graph database or a relational database?
Instead in that thread it seems they are talking about apps having a graph view, that is cool but who cares, it's not a key feature.
Nice, we recently got The Deficit Myth by Kelton and there were Mosler essays around as well. And articles translated on https://www.retemmt.it/ and http://mmtitalia.info/
