Finnish, not Ukrainian. Whenever a second front opens up, and it will, it’ll be right here.

You might’ve talked to one Ukrainian. I’ve lived right next to the fucking russians my entire life, and I’m telling you you’re utterly wrong.

You might not listen, but that’s on you.

You’re wasting your time. I happen to live in a country with a very long border to Russia (guess which one) and I know you’re full of shit simply because we’re dealing with the motherfuckers daily. NATO is and always has been a defensive alliance. We all know that. Russia is simply using it as a really idiotic excuse to do what they wanted to do in the first place. We all know that too.

Simply put, the time for this kind of bullshit is over and done for. Nobody that isn’t already dumb enough to side with those fucknuts believes any of this shit.

As for the US, yeah well up until Putin and his cronies got all the clowns to come out they weren’t actively harming anyone deliberately. Sure, there are war crimes and assholes all over, but also a lot of good-natured and sincerely well meaning people. There have also been trials and sentences for said assholes, as opposed to Russia where you can beat your wife to death and it’s all good.

You don’t find a lot of good in Russia, and you haven’t for a long time. My grandfather fought them, and either me or my son will probably fight them eventually. We’ve already taken action once. It won’t stop there.

Propagandan is one of Kremlin’s biggest tools, and it has been since the wall went up and it certainly never stopped when it came down.

Over time it has become the cheapest way for them for sow discord and infighting between their adversaries. Moving it online made it even cheaper and they’ve been at it hard the past decade or two.

Obviously the US have their own operations, but your point is not correct in any way. Look at what they’ve accomplished. The world is in chaos and they’re largely responsible for a lot or even most of it, depending on how you look at the big picture.

I agree, I just was naïve enough to think that maybe we had grown a little bit wiser. I was obviously wrong. So woefully wrong.

He most certainly did not.

My sanity isn’t ready for an reality where Elon fucking Musk is fucking shit up globally. Trump was bad enough, but this shit? This is what will eventually cause a global conflict against fucking fascists of all things.

We already did this shit once, are we really going to do it again?

There are a lot of dudes working for the fucking Russians too.

Your opinions are certainly grounded in reality at least. It’s refreshing to read something sensible for a change.

Thank you, sounds interesting.

No, that’s just you. I’m genuinely curious why you’d think anyone would ever make the argument Pluto isn’t part of our solar system.

If by economy you mean some of us are needed to mop up hydraulic ass-juices at gunpoint I suppose you’re technically correct. At least they have to feed us, right?

…right?

This is almost 20 years ago today, so my memory is a bit hazy, but basically each student had an account with a certain amount of server space. I can’t remember the size, but given the amount of digital files we produced it would’ve been at minimum 500GB+/student. We could also “see” the account folder for everyone else in our class for file sharing and stuff.

There were also accounts/folders for each teacher which were used to turn in the primary copy of whatever assignment we had done if it was in digital form. Physical art were scanned or photographed also, as a sort of backup. We were also required to back every project up via USB sticks, ofc.

There was also a rack with individual docks for each digital camera that they had which allowed us to get our photographs transferred to our own folders. Since we could access those files from our accounts it also was a part of that server system.

There were also several networked and customised Macs used for single tasks, like larger printing projects and also for an airgapped paintgun for a lack of a better description. We avoided having to wear masks when we printed large sheets in single colours with it, for example. I have no idea what software that thing used, I think I used it like once or twice.

Now, I’ll freely admit that I haven’t touched a Mac since I left that school, and I’ve never had any interest in them whatsoever, so I don’t know what they used or if it even exists anymore. Someone with more knowhow maybe does?

I do remember them specifically (proudly) telling us it all ran on Macs, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have any reason to believe so. The “server room” was basically what looked like a glorified closet with a rack and a couple of Macs that didn’t look like the ones we students used. This was just before the all-in-one models were introduced, iirc.

Depending on what your definition of “enterprise” is, I’ve attended what was at the time a fairly large and prestigious art school that ran everything on Macs.

They even preferred that we didn’t bring windows laptops, although after some… rather intense protests by pretty much anyone under 25 we did get to bring our own peripherals.

Edit: I’ll also add that outside the shitty keyboards and mice, the server system they had set up with our accounts on etc was completely fine.

Never had a single issue with it and it was my first ever touching a Mac.

Similar. Åland is predominantly Swedish-speaking (we’re a minority on the mainland), and they have fairly extensive legal autonomy as well.

In practice Åland is also a legally demilitarized zone, though I doubt Russia would give a fuck.

Åland is still a part of Finland, even though they have a certain degree of autonomy.

You yourself are certainly easily enough to detect with that username, lol.

Other than that, FlyingSquid, mostly because of the specific shade of color on his or her avatar. The fact that I agree with 98% of what he or she posts probably helps as well.

“Grok” really says everything that needs to be said about this farce, isn’t it?

Mr Inbetween. The 8.7 on imdb is well earned.

That’s a worthwhile question to ask, no doubt.

You’re completely correct, pneumatic sounded cooler. I know, I’m a complete scumbag.
