Making it an excellent choice for a programming beginner --sarcasm

Some Russians (and non-Russians) have lived there as well, and I don't see why couldn't they be pro-Ukrainian.

One where 1) there are ~4.5M siloviki per ~140M and lethal force isn't out of question 2) insurgencies in any other city that isn't Moscow wouldn't matter at all past the first week 3) the general populace associates themselves with the country and government way too much, even the dissenting minority and 4) there's no external force for them to rise against; 5) finally, the "elites" never were political actors, not in this century, and the dissidents who consider themselves to be political actors are good media at best, pathetic clowns at worst.

Trust me, I'd love to see that happening and am clinging to the slightest hints of it. There are virtually none, even if one buys into Russian dissident media. My bet is that even freeing all the territories wouldn't spark them. The only ray of hope is the lack of a successor.

Sabotage is powerful in theory, but, as Russia's modus operandi is self-sabotage, it's grown pretty self-sabotage-resilient. My money's rather on sheer incompetence.

Blocked on resolving the lack of motivation to rile anybody up because reasons in the OP.

That only works while rulers have reservations against outright killing their "fanbase".

What's there to discuss?

Jelly 2 has a headphones jack and is way smaller than iPhone SE. I don't understand your message.

I (evidently) didn't say "stop banking", I said "stop banking with asshole banks that require safetynet".

My first smart pocket device had two SD slots, a full-sized one and a mini- one, accessible at all time with no bullshit attached. I remember using it to share photos between people's cards right at the end of parties. I thought it can only get better from there.

Now I'm typing it from the phone that's twice the size and if I were to attempt ejecting my microSD card / SIM tray, it'll shutdown.

Easy, don't rely on banking apps and other stuffs that require safetynets. I've been a client of, like, 6 banks in 2 different countries and never ever encountered one that cared. If one day I will, I'll just leave that bank.

Tried searching for the incantation to screengrab from Wayland or drm device directly, no dice. Funny as post-satire tho.
