Lately I also wonder about the geopolitical lock-in and balkanization of the internet. US won't have this problem I guess. But with all that's happening in the world right now and the current trends, for the rest of us…
Exactly, this type of economy feels like it's built for the peace and globalization times. Sadly, lately it seems like those times are over.
This NewsGuard's Reality Check website [0] claims it is currently being done by Moscow. I think it's only a matter of time before we see the internet flooded with this kind of activity. [0]…
Sure, you can tell now when looking back. But at the time, it tremendously surprised everyone, both inside and outside. The country could have continued like this for years, if not decades, were it not for a few men and…
Such resets are sometimes followed by civil wars, economy crashes style "there is no food for tomorrow" and a generational trauma. As the one who has been through it, be careful what you wish for.
Just be careful when using analogies. The massive ship named USSR sank in a matter of months.
I don't think there are many people who believe the state shouldn't intervene at all and that humanity will blossom without it. I'm sure most people strive for some kind of balance. For those of us who are old enough…

The tactics of Russian operatives have always been more nuanced than simply "eliminating the adversary". Typically, such extreme measures are reserved for traitors, like Sergei Skripal or the helicopter pilot who…
Russia doesn't allow ukrainians back to the occupied territories, they deport the non-complicit ones and the remaining ones are heavily oppressed. That should be the excuse for Poland or the rest of EU to not let the…
Let's assume Russia indeed felt threaten by NATO and US and it somehow justifies taking a military action against. Then why Putin instead of dealing with NATO and US bombs women and children of Ukraine? Sieges and…
Oh, don't worry, it has been the shibboleth word for many years way before this invasion. The beauty here that even if you know the word it is somewhat hard for a person to learn and remember how to pronounce it. I've…
I genuinely wonder if such kumbaya rhetoric stays the same once the person actually experiences the bombing of his own house and see people around him heart or dead. Or just forced to leave his own home abandoning…
I think it's the lack of transparency, claims that Telegram is the most secure messenger despite the fact that e2e encryption is off by default and therefore hardly used, unclear source of funds used to run the whole…

In Russia they've been preparing for this and were slowly moving to use their inside systems at least for the transactions inside the country. As well as they've been preparing for the moment their internet…
