Thread (ten posts) making a convincing case for Ukraine winning the war in the next 3-6 months due to an accelerating Russian collapse, caused by … well, that'd be a spoiler.
Go read.
This, happening within months of the AI bubble bursting and taking down the US stock market, is going to make 2025 the pivotal year of the decade. (Forget Trump, he's a side-show.)

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
Today is the day Mr. Hummelgaard wanted to push through a vote on Chat Control in the EU Council. But he failed! 🎉
However, Chat Control will be back, so let's look at what this law means for everyone, not just here in Europe:
#ChatControl is nothing but a Trojan Horse for citizens and businesses in Europe. Why?

[Boosts appreciated] Statement on Frameworks sponsoring of certain FOSS maintainers/projects
I paid a fuckton of money for my @frameworkcomputer laptop parts. I paid extra for the parts I could've saved money on elsewhere because I wanted to support the company and what they stand for. I even ported Debian to the RISC-V Motherboard for the product that made Framework Framework: The Framework 13.
Now Framework decided to sponsor Omarchy and Hyprland, the leaderships of which are not just "politically of a different opinion", they are actively toxic, hostile and highly discriminatory, to phrase it euphemistically.
Nirav Patel responded to this in the community forum, essentially doubling down on the decision to take a "big tent approach".
I want to reiterate: __This isn't about "political differences", because the political difference are actively harmful to democracy itself, and the physical safety of marginalised communities.
Someone I supported in good faith with both code and money turned around and gave this money to multiple people who'd rather see me dead for existing.
Needless to say, I feel quite betrayed and I'm really torn on wether or not I should even continue and proceed with the port for the second RISC-V mainboard, because I don't want to end up supporting the hate towards me, my wife or other people in the same situation as me.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels betrayed by this decision.
