#Coca-Cola products are still available in Russian supermarkets, with profits now going to its #London-based subsidiary, Coca-Cola HBC, according to Bloomberg.

When HBC stopped producing Coke due to the full-scale war, Coca-Cola HBC's contractor Multon introduced Dobra Kola, now Russia's most popular soda with a 13% market share.

The week is over, here are some charts:
For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).

#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

Potentially unpopular take:

Attribution is a distraction.

Most orgs are not mature enough for attribution to actually differentiate response (just like honeypots).

Layer 8 is obsessed with attribution -- perhaps to make things more dramatic / urgent? -- so it persists.

So such things get chased, to the detriment of the basics.

These are NE executables. So windows 3.x.

Those... shouldn't be loading. Unless they're 32bit, somehow... is win32s being invoked here? and somehow working? on a 64bit OS?

did they embed a 16bit x86 emulator into their program? (no)

Change the names and it’s the exact same today.

I feel like walking into the ocean.

In 1994, #Ukraine was one of the very few countries in the world ever to give up its nuclear arsenal and demilitarise. Actual #nuclear disarmament!

In exchange, russia was one of the nuclear powers who committed to guarantee the #security, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Now, that very country - #russia - invaded non-nuclear Ukraine and constantly threatens to attack Ukrainians and those who uphold the Budapest Memorandum with nuclear bombs.

Think about that for a moment.

Finished a game for a game jam sort of thing! It's small, I blasted it out in two weeks.

(Plus tests! Nice thing about text games, you can write lots of regression and end-to-end tests.)

Will announce when it goes live. Right now I'm just feeling like I finished a game of my own for the first time in, well, two years since the last jam I did.

I can count on one hand the number of my clients over the past couple of years who haven't either over-architected for scale or were unnecessarily concerned about it.

You don't need to understand Distributional Little's Law to figure this out, it's obvious with primary school level math.

❗️Russia will completely exhaust the West's air defense in 2-3 months. Europe is not ready for war, - Zaluzhnyi

⚠️ NATO countries are still not looking for ways to counter Shaheds and missiles. Instead, they rely on F-16s and air defense systems, the number of which is limited.
