It has no relevance. Russians shot missiles into Ukraine. The facts of the matter are that Russians are the aggressors here, and this is a war entirely of their making. The Ukrainian perspective about the effects of the missile attack on them is what matters to an article about the missile attack on Ukraine.

Not including the Russian perspective isn’t evidence of bias, it’s omitting things which don’t matter. We already know that Russia invaded Ukraine, and that Russia will rubble-ize it rather than surrender unless they are aggressively beaten back by Ukraine.

You’ll notice I didn’t complain about the parts where they pick on the language used in the article - because those are valid complaints. Expecting the article to include the Russian perspective about the smoking craters they left all across Ukraine is patently ridiculous.

Sometimes facts are just facts. Russia is objectively the nation who started the war, they are objectively the aggressors, and they are objectively responsible for all related death and destruction. We don’t need to be sure we include a sentence saying, “And by the way the Russians did this because they would really like to control Ukraine” every time - that’s part of the setting.

That’s the point of the site. It doesn’t have any preference and just points out the lack of different perspectives instead of saying that a single perspective is correct.

Not presenting viewpoints of the Russians who shot the missles about how they feel about shooting the missles is not a lack of balance.

Well, now I know SpinScore isn’t a site I care about:

Partisan

Score: 3 Explanation: The article primarily reflects Ukrainian perspectives and narratives while omitting Russian viewpoints. Suggestion: Include statements from Russian officials regarding the missile strikes for balance.

(The rest of the analysis continues in a similar vein.)

Fresh packages all the time without any hassle or snaps/flatpak/appimages, and theoretically never needs to be reinstalled. What’s not to love.

OP was pretty fucking snarky though, ngl. Some of us enjoy using arch based distros without being walking memes, and far more people complain about people talking about arch than actually talk about arch these days.

Yep… and that’s a blockin’ anyhow.

I’ll stick to Toyota for now.

I wish I’d found Toyota products decades earlier. Nearly lifelong Ford guy here, and honestly no major complaints with the vehicles I’ve had. But we are now a Toyota family, and everyone I know who owns one (now including us) won’t even look at another company. Really reliable, well designed cars, IMO. I think you’re doing the right thing.

Imagine being so wrapped up in your hateful bullshit that you are terrifying young children on the street and you still think you are the good guy.

It’s not stable, but it will boot and run … most of the time.

Pretty much my recollection of running Windows NT on x86.
