  • It’s the mentality that billionaires use to impose on us. Yes, our life sucks, but it is not bad, because there are people for whom or sucks much more.

    I am currently reading book called On Freedom by Prof. Timothy Snyder and is really eye opening, how we are being manipulated to hurt our and our children’s future. I think everyone should read it.







  • I agree what you wrote, but I have problem with this paragraph:

    It doesn’t really matter to the US, we produce a ton of oil domestically and have been switching over our refineries to process it. Europe, China and India will be the ones to really feel the squeeze when Russian oil goes offline.

    While it is true that US produces enough oil domestically to have enough for itself the price for oil is global.

    US has option to of course close its exports and not be affected by it, but in the process it will lose its allies who will suffer even more by that (this sounds more like that trump would do, as it would piss off allies which we need and it could be sold internally as protecting Americans)

    The other option would be to keep market open, but then the price hike would affect us but it would be smaller, because it would be shared among everyone.


  • It’s all a manufactured outrage. They supposedly buy these cars because “gas is cheap” and then they lament when gas goes few cents up.

    BTW: the gas will likely go up when US will decide to put on the final squeeze on Russia. Currently Russia escapes sanctions by selling their oil through intermediaries. This is purposefully ignored right now to keep the oil prices low.





  • Three streaming (like pointed in the other comment) was my initial reaction too, but indeed at the time https for streaming would be very rare.

    Another possibility is to realize that openssl isn’t just for communication, but also has implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

    Perhaps openssl was used for validation of licensing key? For example they could sign the license with their private key and WinAmp could verify it’s authenticity with its public key.


  • Probably the latter. CT is very fragile the text that it says that it is doing well on a battlefield is ridiculous.

    Ignoring videos where CT stopped working for silly reasons (or even doors breaking of they are slammed), even the fact that is electric is currently a hurdle. They would have to carry generator with diesel to charge it, since there are no charging stations.

    The whole story was propaganda and more to show how they get around sanctions.
