@jonn I honestly don’t know. They world leaders seems to think that this nonsense russian fear-talk is ok and accept. The pink piglet in the Kremlin knew he got a Carte Blanche when our leaders didn’t enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Sadly russia seems to only understand a firm hand slapping them in the face.

We need to give more no matter what. Several Patriot+IRIS/T-Systems should be in place to protect more cities.

Protests are needed!

"But what if russia changes..."
Slap yourself, it will never change.

Just a reminder that we need to support #Ukraine even more so they can get rid of the russian military vermin in their country.

Even if we get positive news on the Ukrainian offensive their soldiers in arms, women and men, die daily because we are not supporting them more!

#German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock made a surprise visit to #Kyiv Monday, Sept. 11, promising unwavering support for #Ukraine and praising its progress on the path towards #EU membership.

"With enormous courage and determination, Ukraine is also defending the freedom of all of us," Baerbock said in a statement released by the foreign ministry upon her arrival.

And Ukraine can "count on us" in return, Baerbock added.

"Ukraine is only a stepping stone?" the interviewer then asked.

"Yes, absolutely. It is only the beginning," Mordvichev responded, who went on to say that the war "will not stop here. "https://www.newsweek.com/russian-general-admits-ukraine-just-stepping-stone-invade-europe-1825776

Paper: http://worrydream.com/refs/Engelbart%20-%20Improving%20Our%20Ability%20to%20Improve.pdf

Heya, I've been doing grant work for the past few months but that doesn't pay the bills very well.

So I'm looking for some contract opportunities, preferably places that uses Rust, since that's what I'm most proficient with.

I've worked on a lot of networking projects and I'm comfortable with distributed systems, and concurrent state problems.
My favourite thing to do is greenfield development and building incremental prototypes with a lot of feedback on an evolving specification :)

I'm looking for projects between 1-6 months in length, up to 30h a week. I can be part of your company structure and processes during that time, but for legal reasons I prefer to be independent/ a contractor. If your company is looking for some implementingexternal help, or is generally hiring at the moment, feel free to get in touch here, or e-mail me: kookie@spacekookie.de.

Some more resources about what I do below. Thanks! And as the CW says, boosts highly appreciated!

Cheers ✌️

Another reminder to say "fuck you" to all the people who say COVID is no big deal:

During the first two years of the pandemic, from March 2020 to March 2022, there were approximately 90,000 more deaths in the United States attributed to cardiovascular disease than were expected for that span of time.

A study found that the sharpest rise in deaths from heart attack during that period occurred in 25- to 44-year-olds.
