I have been covering the war in Ukraine since the very first day in 2014 and I can assess that we are now at the final crossroads. There is a possibility to conclude the war in a positive way, but also a threat for the exact opposite. It is only determined by us and what we do in the coming few weeks and even days.

Step 0. Get fed up with Windows 10/11 with all forced fed stuff like Ads and LLM in start menu.
Step 1. Install Ubuntu #Linux
Step 2. I learned Docker and cool stuff and wondered why I used an abomination called WSL. This is the real deal.
Step 3. Get into VIM. Watch some cool videos, and ditch the last spyware called VSCode.
Step 4: Learn about NixOS and switch to use because all cool kids like it.
Step 5: Minding my business and YouTube recommends #FreeBSD. Oh noo. Here we go again...😅
It pains me to point this out:
The US once pressured Ukraine to give up its nukes, rockets and bombers in exchange for "assurances" to protect its territorial integrity...
Today: now that you have given up your means to defend yourself, you need to respect the integrity of Russia's state owned oil and gas industry.
35 years of a priori good will and trust, as well as blood and treasure in several US wars on the part of "New Europe" going down the drain.
I could see, how the US may have never supported Ukraine, perhaps arguing that Russia was Europe’s problem.
I could also see, how the US would have supported Ukraine even more.
But what I really do not get, is the inconsistency of supporting Ukraine for two years with USD 68 billion, and then immediately after that investment decide not to follow through.

39 Nobel Prize winners united to call on world leaders to deny putin’s legitimacy and support #Ukraine.
“putin’s regime has shown that it poses a clear and imminent threat to humanity. The full-scale aggression against Ukraine and the assassination of Alexei Navalny illustrate the escalation of the threat to a new level, as putin’s regime no longer acknowledges any constraints on violating human rights and international norms,”
#Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has firmly stated that Kyiv will not raise any flag other than its national one in response to #Pope Francis’ recent remarks calling for Ukraine to “raise the white flag” and negotiate with russia.
“Our flag is a yellow and blue one. This is the flag by which we live, die, and prevail. We shall never raise any other flags,” - Dmytro Kuleba

Vladimir Putin ridiculed the idea that he would invade Ukraine, right up until he ordered close to 200,000 troops over the border. Can his word be trusted? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/03/03/world/stopping-putin/ #commentary #worldnews #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #eu #us #defense
Does this need to be said? Never rent a printer. It barely makes sense for businesses (where it pays for maintenance of very complex machines), it definitely makes no sense for a home device.
My Samsung laser is fine. Practically any Brother printer is more than fine.

We mark this rare February 29 by celebrating the unique nature of the EU.
Our Union, with 24 EU official languages, shows what being united in diversity means.
Multilingualism is our greatest strength– It breaks barriers and helps us travel, collaborate, and understand each other.
Let's celebrate it every year, every day.
It has now been more than two years since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In this video I give an optimistic and a pessimistic scenario for what will happen in year three. They are very different, and that shows the spectrum of possible outcomes. Nothing is decided yet, and it really could go either way. https://youtu.be/bJK5NYxGNOQ
