The VBA part of the meme is real, VBA is (was?) localized. Turns out it's a horrible idea: some keywords are badly translated, some are not translated at all. Googling localized error messages is useless, so you need to guess the original error message from the translation. Want to copy/paste a function from SO? Not so fast, you need to translate the keywords first! And the variable names as well while you're at it.

Ironically, you end up spending a lot of time on translation-related issues. I've worked on a french-VBA app, and it was a miserable experience (well, even more miserable than english VBA).

Ça fait pas de mal de le dire, mais je pense que le diagramme de Venn des abonnés du Point et des utilisateurs de Lemmy ça fait 2 cercles distincts.

I'm sure he will learn his lesson this time.

I haven't read the full report but it seems she was at least aware of what was going on, and it didn't bother her all that much.

Sure but they still wouldn't have my email password or recovery codes, which was my point.

Print or write down your recovery codes, and stash them in a safe spot. And don't store your primary email password in bitwarden either.

With your current setup, you're one keylogger away from losing all your stuff.

Just tried framed out of curiosity, it works fine on my Pixel 9.

Thing is, the Dems weren't doing nothing. It was far too little, yes, and people were right to protest and put pressure on them.

But Trump literally said Gaza is destroyed (never mentioning why, mind you), and that the best course of action is for the Palestinian people to just give up on Gaza and go to Egypt or Jordan. He doesn't care at all, except for the prime beachfront properties of course.

Trump lifted at least two sanctions imposed by Biden:

• delivery of 2000-pound bombs
• asset freezing of illegal settlers

So while Biden's effort was mediocre at best, Trump's approach is objectively worse, and will result in even more suffering for the Palestinian people.

His supporters are gullible or weak or both and won't fight yhe narratives that will come out.

With the current state of right-wing news and now social media, they won't even see these news. They have more important concerns anyway, like which people can use which bathrooms, and ending wokeness.

As others have said I believe the meme didn't originate in Russia, but was used disparagingly by its enemies. That said, a Russian author did write The Last Ringbearer, an alternative perspective on the events of LOTR:

Kirill Yeskov bases his novel on the premise that the Tolkien account is a "history written by the victors".[1][2] Mordor is home to an "amazing city of alchemists and poets, mechanics and astronomers, philosophers and physicians, the heart of the only civilization in Middle-earth to bet on rational knowledge and bravely pitch its barely adolescent technology against ancient magic", posing a threat to the war-mongering faction represented by Gandalf (whose attitude is described by Saruman as "crafting the Final Solution to the Mordorian problem") and the Elves.[1]

Sounds familiar?
