StarCraft is basically Command&Conquer

@prvrtl I may be wrong. Maybe I just quit their channel together with ruhaskell and nixos-ru or however that chat was called.

@eisfunke I know right. I was showing my #Lean4 code to a colleague and was like... I don't want to do business, I just want to code cool shit in #Lean.

@thedarktangent yeah, #DEFCON was always ahead of its time.

I also love how #BlackhatUSA had this trend of having presentations about stuff that should become industrial standard but never did. #Convergence was presented there in 2011, I'm pretty sure that active automated intrusion detection with #Bro (now #Zeek) was presented there in 2012 or 13...

If only more people paid attention!

Another brilliant way to fight off the guilt of enjoying life (sometimes, not too often pls) is to donation-match! When I spend money on #MagicTheGathering, I donate as much to particular brigades and sometimes batallions in #UAF.

Finally, there is #stopify, if you're more into "fire-and-forget" mode of supporting #Ukraine: https://stopify.org.ua/

It's okay to have fun as long as you have #Ukraine in your heart.

It's infinitely easier for us than for them, but we too have to take care of our determination and moral strength to stay angry and DO SOMETHING FOR VICTORY EVERY DAY.

This #Haskell library looks like something I'd dig, but I don't want to use Haskell as the glue when I have #BEAM languages!

@prvrtl isn't profunctor optics yobanna rosnya? I left their telegram channel on Feb 24th because it was full of ne-vsyo-tak-odnoznatchniks.

AI drives humans to local maximum.

@calispera oh absolutely!

#Germany is a great example of that! In #Latvia we also had an anti-russian party which suddenly became quite hesitant to support #Ukraine. :)

I think that in the East being #leftist means being an advocate for social justice and better life for all. Because we have seen how quickly dictatorship of the proletariat turns into dictatorship of the central committee of the communist party. (Spolier: the time needed is negative!)

In the West being #leftist means trying to apply dubious ideas dreamt of by

- a 19th century thinker, which could have worked in 19th century perhaps,
- in 20th century

to 21st century, while being guided by parties backed by the state actors.

I know that fighting against state actors for "the minds of the youth" is a very unyielding job, so just accepting that in the West the #left thought has not evolved beyond "means of production go brr" is the best way to approach this sorry left-left dichotomy.

Okay, this person doesn't deserve my time, but one last observation about modern #American #leftists being #imperialist.

This person implies that the USA somehow is bijective with the use of English language. It isn't.

You brainless piece of shit x10.

Oh my, why are lefties such human trash!

Imagine calling a Latvian who is traumatised by the mass deportations and killing of Latvians "bigoted".

It's more or less like telling a black person from South Africa that they are bigoted for being traumatised by apartheid or an #Uyghur person being traumatised by Chinese occupation and "reeducation" camps.

It's also funny how imperialist they are! Every conversation degrades into #USPol. Guess what, not everyone cares about USPol beyond the presidential elections.

You brainless piece of shit.

Before coming to the Western countries, I was very strongly #left.

I assumed that the #leftists in the West have paid attention to cold war.

I beg you, if you're westerner and you aren't sure about how did the 50s, 60s and 70s went in your country, watch this fifty second clip!
