Yeah the lack of irrigation and wilder summers might cause literal deserts in the south of the country in the next couple of years.

Expect the unexpected. Unexpect the... expected?

Empty overpriced housing makes me sick honestly. It stifles the economy and social mobility of everyone so much as well (by design probably lol).

Hmmm, assimilate my account into the faceless horde collective of disinformation drones for a cup of coffee... Hard choice

  • Gaming is less stable overall but it's exponentially better now thanks to Valve and the Steam Deck driving support. Like seriously, from a cointoss whether it even launches a couple years ago to 74% Gold or Platinum on the top 1000 games on Steam.
  • Programming is easier (you can ask your commandline to install all you need at once instead of having to painstakingly individually install and set up requirements or addons to programming languages), but you don't have access to Visual Studio if you're working on C# or C++.
  • Web browsing is identical, watching movies too. I've never had a problem using LibreOffice and OnlyOffice as a replacement for Word and PowerPoint, but I don't use many complicated features in Word or PowerPoint so your mileage may vary.
  • Photoshop, Premiere, etc are a pain to get good replacements for, OBS for recording and DaVinci Resolve for editing is a really powerful pair though.
  • I vouch for Mint with XFCE too. It was very fast on my laptop and some of the themes now are pretty. It barely uses any RAM. It has a Windows-style start menu and taskbar.

Just be warned that your family members will probably have (usually solvable) issues if they want to do anything beyond web browsing. It's a different operating system after all and it works differently in a lot of ways. Definitely recommend looking up some videos about Mint, XFCE, transitioning from Windows to Linux.

Depressing walking past the newly-built housing that is out of reach for almost all of us. Family member lived in a modest apartment with their partner in 2019. They moved out, we check it now years later, it's almost twice as expensive per month to rent.

Or Poland's PiS party and their anti-democratic partisan judge nominations and the currently ongoing attempted elimination of the largest opposition party through McCarthyism.

 

ISW assessment for the 15th June. As of a couple minutes ago, one of the villages south of Velyka Novosilka mentioned in the article, Makarivka, has returned under Ukrainian control. https://twitter.com/War_Mapper/status/1668829293848215552

This comes after the joint statement by the US, UK, Netherlands, Denmark to supply Ukraine with air defence equipment. Germany dedicates Wisent-1 de-mining vehicles, Italy provides a "tranche of military aid for Ukraine, which includes weapon systems that are key for Ukraine's defence" and Canada dedicates another $500mln USD to support Ukraine, including 200 anti-air missiles.
