If NATO wants to stop the war, then why does it keep supplying Ukraine with weapons? Don’t you think that indicates they want the war to go on indefinitely (and help out U.S. military industrial complex)?

NATO wants to give assurances to their Eastern European members that they won’t bail on them when Russia starts eyeing their territory.

If they wanted to keep the war going, they wouldn’t have made the offer in the first place.

Interesting how tankies keep saying that the west is forcing Ukraine to keep fighting. But when NATO suggests they give some land to Russia to stop the war, the Ukrainians get offended and want to keep fighting. 🤔

First world tankie LARPer.

If you read the actual Hacker News thread, they were getting a 5sec delay with wget, but not curl.

Don’t remember the details, but it could have been a bug in twitter’s code (i.e. not malicious). But we’ll probably not know the truth because Elon does not reply to media enquiries, and tech journalists love a juicy story.

You’re welcome. :)

Change your settings.yml to have this

enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

And then define the rules like this:

hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false

SearXNG.

It’s like having a search engine customised to my needs.

Automatically filters out SEO junk sites, and redirects links automatically (e.g. reddit.com -> old.reddit.com)

And yet, tankies still defend this corrupt capitalist state just because it’s not the US.

Nevermind political persecution, assassinations, repression of LGBT people, invasion of neighbouring countries, etc. As long as it’s not the US, it’s all good.

Hi first-world revolutionary LARPer. 👋

You seem to be ignoring the fact that after the fall of the USSR, Russia didn’t want their assets to be sold or leased to western companies (understandably), so they let corrupt officials take them for pennies of what they were actually worth. Those officials became the oligarchs.

Russians cannibalised Russia.
