For #russian speakers, here's an analysis of #Ария for you and the reason why it's not OK to listen to them (at least not on streaming services where they get money):

Please note that since then, #Ария has played in a moderate-presenting z-patriotic show "kvartirnik u margulisa", which was an *overt* z-patriotic shitfest this year.
I wonder how hard would it be to make a heavy metal band to steal songs of #russian bands which have always been OK but got partially wrecked by #russism and now should be cancelled.
Examples: #Ария and #НаутилусПомпилиус. Of course, the latter doesn't exist anymore, but #butusov still gets money from #Spotify streams.
For me, some of their songs is exactly the reason why I grew up as a principled individual who stands for freedom and liberty. A lot of their stuff was anti-authoritarian.
The fact that some of the people involved ended up slaves to the evil force (see what I did there?), however, makes it seem that we understood what they were singing about better than themselves.
@jonn it's scary how totally different (at least at the surface) movements & organizations can play together when their interests in upsetting or weakening the modern democratic world coincide...
#vatican, obscure african autocraties, european fascist collaborators, and even half-forgotten ideological frankensteins with blood-soaked banners, you name it.
I hate opening accounts to learn they are at birdsite.makeup. But I like reading most of the posts that gets boosted into my feed. Should I defederate anyway?
I think so...
Throw a cubical die into the air, and photograph it with a high-speed camera in midflight. Assuming half the faces are visible in each photo, what is the *average* number of times you would need to throw-and-photograph the die before all 6 faces have been photographed?

@icon_of_computational_sin with all respect to people who suffer from psychosis... I think it's more of a psychotic thing. A morally right thing would be to force him to go to a hospital.

@IngaLovinde yeah I guess. Still their phrasing is "our mission was successful so we sold". In spirit, it's selling a non-profit. Maximum cringe.
@virtulis re cooperating on solutions in TS: I’d love that!

How the fuck can you *sell* a non-profit? What the actual fuck?
Ukrainian graduates dance in front of their school in Kharkiv, damaged by russian attacks
Graduates of the #Kharkiv school have marked their graduation with a #dance performance in front of their damaged school.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense shared a video of their performance. The footage released by the ministry shows ballerinas dancing waltz in front of a #school that was ruined during russian attacks.
@d_christiansen got it! Yeah, I know how hard it is to typeset print media.
@d_christiansen yeah, I know these trick.
The question was meant purely as a question about supporting your work (in exchange for a typeset PDF :D).
Maybe community should typeset it for you? :)
@d_christiansen can we buy it somehow? 🙂
