yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•US Intel assessments on Russia and 2016 election could be politically motivated — CIA6·5 days agoA bit misleding:
- there is no doubt Russia tried to influence US elections in 2016
- the uncertainty is about whether Trump actively cooperated with them - which he didn’t have to - and very likely didn’t.
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•Iran envoy leaves meeting over presence of hostile US media4·5 days agoI love this part (end of the article):
As the Iranian Armed Forces pounded Israel and its military and industrial infrastructure, using many new-generation missiles that precisely hit the designated targets, the embattled regime was forced to unilaterally declare a truce deal on June 24.
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•THE LUGANSK PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC HAS BEEN LIBERATED FROM THE NAZI TROOPS OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE5·5 days agoNazi proxies led by jewish president. You are really smart and definitely not a looser.
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•Ryanair would consider Chinese aircraft due to tariff concerns2·2 months agoThey are operating exclusively Boeing 737 variants ( afaik 600+ planes) to save money by symplifying maintenance and pilot training. Adding another new completely different plane into the mix (one noone outside china knows how to maintain or fly) would add lots of costly complexity and overhead they can do without. They would have to fully switch only to single COMAC plane variant for all future purchases to make it make sense and imo they are nowhere near beaing ready fot that kind of commitment.
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•Qatar calls for bringing Israeli nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards6·4 months agoThere were times when Israel was at least trying to be ambiguous about their possession of nuclear weapons. The famous
“not to be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the area.”
Now we get junior ministers, half of the media and all the facebook discussing who should be nuked first. Mordechai Vanunu spent 2 decades in prison because of this crap.
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•Charlie Angus Creates Canadian Parliament Petition to Ban X6·4 months agoWe, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.
Not a ban really (not in US banning tiktok sense), better.
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•Top Trump allies hold secret talks with Zelenskyy’s Ukrainian opponents7·4 months agoNone of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the “unanimously” comes from 😇 I’ve looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷♂️
off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•Zelensky didn't "start" the war, he provoked it5·5 months agohow did everyone access the article?
I would like to know if its the same tired 40 year old argument on “sphere of influence” or actually something interesting at least from the “intellectual elasticity” point of view?

yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•What's your experience with a touchscreen laptop on your distro?2·2 years agoA colleague wanted to throw out Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3, 10IGL5 (a tablet pc with IMO cool keyboard that can be disconnected and used over bluetooth, 4 core intel CPU taking like 5W & 8GB of ram). Originally bought for his kid but it is absolutely useless under windows. I’ve tested it with current Ubuntu with somewhat meh results (BT keyboard won’t work, no chance to get the automatic screen rotation going, screwy on screen keyboard) then I have installed Fedora and the thing is absolutely amazing. Everything works out of the box, I haven’t done anything “smart” at all and honestly as a XFCE (still deep in x11) user I am amazed how well the Wayland is doing on this. I would dare to say better out of the box experience than Apple - everything is similarly polished but you don’t have to register / pay anything. Now my teamleader is taking it to presentations. He connects the display over USB-C adapter to the projector, walks over the room and controls it with the BT keyboard - Mac wielding accounts are starting to cry. As docker/podman is native he continues to spin up the whole app in a container - at which point every technical person in the room needs to know what the f is that thing?! They are no longer being manufactured though, newer version does not have that cool keyboard…
PSA: I’ve been IDCing these (i prefer supertinkerer or climber 92? mm models) my entire life and I have actually broke one! When you inevitably break the spring on the scissors (somehow I use them the most), don’t compensate with your thumb pressurering against the hinge. Have it replaced, many shops do it for free. Or in several years - you will break the scissors off just below the hinge. Didn’t know/expect that was possible. If something I am below average strength. Still the best knife I know, own 1/2 a dozen, even though I confess muscle memory probably plays a big role.
yojimbo@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•Spotify will end service in Uruguay due to bill requiring fair pay for artists4·2 years agoI am a Spotify user and I feel bad. Regarding
Tidal
- does it make any difference for you whether I am using the “Hifi” or “Hifi Plus” ? TY!
Not sure if it’s just the Tass being Tass - but somehow her statements are totally missing the debt crisis.

Even though she claims inflation is falling (to 3-4% nonetheless) The Bank of Russia interest rate is still breathtaking 20% tradingeconomics
