let's hope it trains people to respond "NO" to such nonsense.

 

A lighthearted aussie's take on Russia's unprovoked war of agression against Ukraine.

Will this allow Lukashenko to draw in Wagner troops and give them a base of operations, allowing him to provide some sort of resistance against a hostile military takeover. Some sort of insurance/body guard type deal, since Prigozhin also would not want it to be annexed now he is "safe"?

Shoigu focusing more on Africa will allow him to rotate PMC Patriot in and Wagner out, giving him the ability to become even richer.

Not something about real world affairs other then it is a Ukrainian movie, about the Donbas conflict in 2014. Obviously it is not a documentary.

Has anyone seen it? What did you think?

IMDB:

After suffering a tragedy at the hand of invading soldiers in Donbas, an Ukrainian physics teacher seeks revenge. He sets his sights on an elite Russian sniper whose elimination could change the tide of the conflict.

Thought it was an interesting Video, but with the madness that is the previous week it seems underwhelming (with the lack of a better word).

My build is special because I use a very old server case that I have remodeled the interior of and is so ugly i hide it behind my monitors.

It does the job. No LEDs, no bling. It seems to be the exception.

Bla bla bla... Traitors... Bla bla bla ... Russia the greatest ... Bla bla bla ... We will win.

Not worth the airtime it was given.

I can't see Wagner beiing able to do this again. But then again, grab a chair, grab popcorn.

According to Valve:

Over time, the battle pass grew into a massive operation that sucked up nearly all the time, ideas, and resources of staff working on the game. In the early days of Dota 2, content updates were more varied and frequent. But over time the battle pass began to consume every idea or feature, leading to a situation where for most of the year Dota 2 had little to no new content until the next big battle pass update.

and

While work is still in progress on future updates, the first of these has shipped: ‘New Frontiers’ and patch 7.33 couldn’t have shipped as they did if we were focusing all our efforts on producing Battle Pass content. The community response to ‘New Frontiers’ has helped us build confidence that working less on cosmetic content for the Battle Pass and more on a variety of exciting updates is the right long-term path for Dota as both a game and a community

Pretty wild, as this seems to describe the issue with most live service games and high end titles in general.

Op zich tof om te lezen dat er getest wordt met allerlei soorten gewassen. Hopelijk vinden ze goeie gewassen zodat er weer meer veengrond terug kan naar het originele waterpeil.

 

Most observers (Western and Russian) seem to have expected Ukraine to go over onto the offensive sometime in the 2023 campaign season. Such a move was well telegraphed and a natural extension of Ukraine's stated objectives of taking back occupied territories from the Russian Federation.

By mid-June, it was clear Ukraine had started an offensive effort, launching probing actions at multiple points along the front and finally showing some of the heavy Western equipment it had received over the last six months.

Those initial attacks ran into the teeth of heavy Russian defences, and progress since then has been slower than the Ukrainian High Command may have hoped.

Initially I had planned not to touch these developments for some time - but with the recent information environment extending the full range of takes from 'Ukraine has lost the war' to 'everything is according to plan' I thought it was worth making an effort to try and clearly interpret (as far as possible) the data as we have it now.

So I hope you find this examination of the campaign of the last few weeks useful, and I'll see you all again next week.

Caveats & Comments: As mentioned in the video - the confidence level when dealing with a developing offensive is always going to be very low so those and all usual caveats apply with an additional emphasis for this episode.

I'd also like to note this episode was mostly prepared before the recent Wagner mutiny in Russia - and as a result largely reflects a state of affairs as it existed before that incident.

Finally I'd like to note that when talking about equipment removed from the Arsenal discussed in this video, the stated figure applies to a wider area of the base than shown on screen (which I'm aware might be confusing).

Sources & reading: I will include a list of sources as usual tomorrow (incredibly tired at the moment and they are saved on another system) but in the interim let me extend the usual credit to those twitter accounts and aggregators that posted some of the content featured in this episode.

TL/DR: The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) released its annual Global Liveability Index on Thursday, and Vienna came in at number one out of 173 cities analysed. What makes it such a great place to live? According to the report: its ‘winning combination of stability, good culture and entertainment, reliable infrastructure, and exemplary education and health services.’

  • Vienna, Austria

De zittende Griekse premier Mitsotakis is de grote winnaar van de parlementsverkiezingen. Met bijna alle stemmen geteld heeft zijn centrumrechtse partij Nieuwe Democratie ruim 40 procent van de stemmen gekregen, veel meer dan zijn linkse tegenstanders van Syriza. Die partij haalde nog geen 18 procent van de stemmen. Daarmee is de conservatieve leider verzekerd van een tweede termijn als premier....

Vijf weken geleden gingen de Grieken ook al naar de stembus, en kwam Mitsotakis ook al als winnaar uit de bus. Hij haalde toen alleen niet de absolute meerderheid die hij nodig zei te hebben voor zijn "ambitieuze hervormingen", waarop hij een tweede stembusgang aankondigde. Bij die tweede verkiezing kon de winnende partij vanwege een wetswijziging tot 50 bonuszetels veroveren in het 300 zetels tellende parlement.

Het lijkt wel alsof het zo ontworpen is. Om moe van te worden. Het is schandalig.

 

Klimaatactivisten hebben ondanks een noodverordening ruim zes uur lang gedemonstreerd op het terrein van Tata Steel in Velsen-Noord. Onder luid gejuich braken zij rond 11.00 uur de hekken rondom Tata Steel open. Honderden activisten brachten vervolgens de middag door op het terrein.

Aan het eind van de middag besloot de burgemeester dat het niet verantwoord was om nog langer demonstranten op het terrein aanwezig te laten zijn, laat de gemeente Velsen weten. De demonstranten hebben het terrein aan het eind van de middag weer vrijwillig verlaten, meldt persbureau ANP.

 

Met opvoerkits kunnen elektrische fietsen snelheden van wel 45 kilometer per uur halen. Dat levert op de toch al drukke fietspaden in grote steden levensgevaarlijke situaties op, vindt VVN.

Vooral jongeren zouden de grenzen van hun e-bikes willen verkennen door ze harder te laten gaan. "Ouders moeten dat goed in de gaten houden. Ook fabrikanten zouden kunnen nadenken over het technisch onmogelijk maken van het opvoeren van e-bikes."
