“He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state,” Habba added.

As far as I can tell this was intended to be a Venera probe, possibly it would have been Venera 9, but because it failed in earth orbit it was classified as “Kosmos”.

It’s a Venera probe! The probe missions of the Soviet space program were remarkable. What a technological feat to get these machines all the way to Venus (of all places) and send data and pictures back, in the 1970s!

I never really used Skype as a VOIP platform, but it was a great tool for many years for calling international phone numbers affordably. I’m sure it helped many people saving a lot of money calling their friends and relatives. For that I remember it somewhat fondly.

“felt”? He was kidnapped. By the state.

I’ve invested all of my retirement savings in bottle caps. I think I’ll be fine.

Great! So I’ll have to pay way less income tax next year, right?

Moving from C to C++ would also not solve any real problem. C++ of course adds OOP which I think can be nice (not everyone agrees with this!) but it also adds an insane amount of language complexity and instability. Mentally reasoning about C code is hard, reasoning about C++ code is nearly impossible.

Rust however brings a novel solution to classes of problems like ownership and mutability with the borrow checker. It’s now accepted to be a great tool for writing high performance code while preventing a substantial amount of common, but often subtle, bugs from slipping through. It’s not arbitrarily the first non-C code to be accepted in the kernel. And it’s used in other operating systems like Android and Windows already.

Just fucking do it already. America is rapidly being destroyed and all the Democrats will have got to show for it in the future history books is “They did their utmost to avoid taking any possibly biased-looking decisions.”

I’ve been interested in trying out RSS again but I don’t want to self-host. Can anyone recommend a RSS client (hosted, local, or whatever) that they like?
