This is one of those situations where adhering to the treaty doesn't actually do anything positive, it just handicaps Ukraine's options.

A primary reason for the treaty is that landmines are indiscriminant and they last well beyond the length of the war they're placed for. So civilians are at risk decades after a war ends. The intent is to prevent ANY mines from being placed, by having everyone agree not to place them ahead of time.

However, Russia is going to place mines anyway no matter what. So there are going to be landmines in the area because of them regardless even if Ukraine doesn't place their own, so the danger will already be there, except Ukraine will have one less tool to fight with.

I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

You do know there's a reason for that voice difference in MGSV right?

Well it didn't do its job very well then did it. It's designed to shoot flying things, and drones fly.

To be fair most of the "bloat" is the flashy stuff that gets consumers to buy things. The extras that enterprise and some power users don't care about because they want to use their own thing instead.

A lot of that "bloat" is the easy integrated stuff the average person can set up and use themselves following a couple login and setup screens without having to think about it. Things like OneDrive for easy automated document backup, backing up device licenses to an account versus needing to keep track of a license key if they need to reinstall, integrated find my device services, etc.

All of those functions are expected in a modern OS by the average user, so they are ready to go out of the box with a little setup. It's the same way Apple handles similar services on OSX and iOS, and Google does with ChromeOS. Not every user will use those services, and there are alternatives of course. Nothing prevents you from uninstalling OneDrive, or most other pre-installed programs or components. I got rid of those immediately after installing Windows 11 because I use other services, and I haven't seen them since.

Exactly. They were using bullshit screening like this well before LLMs came on the scene.

The Military Industrial Complex won't let some politicians get in the way of their control of the nearly $1 Trillion annual military budget.

Any backers if there are any, searching their name online to see about controversial decisions.

And then I default to replacing them. Most people vote to keep the status quo... I'd rather keep them on their toes.

Reminder that Fox News was created in the wake of Watergate specifically because media coverage of the scandal went from non-existent to shifting public opinion against it in weeks. It was created to be a dedicated Republican party propaganda platform to prevent that from ever happening again.

Very few people even bother to clock the link. They only ever read the headline.

Beans on toast?

Checks out. Especially for the crazy people that refer to all sliced bread as toast, whether it's toasted or not.

It was someone that cheated in a tournament. Not a player in random match online. Although he probably tested the cheats there first.
