I suppose jk rowling and her views about women's rights and how trans-rights are clashing into them? The consequences are that have been many attempts to cancel her (some successful).
There is an excellent podcast series * that explains that we have in fact been in conflict with Russia for all these years. Grey Zone warfare is when you indirectly fight your opponent, of fight then in such a way that they don't even realise it. Everyone does this as hot wars between nuclear armed powers makes no sense.
Was going to post something similar - but I think you capture my thoughts eloquently. I would add that HTTP itself needs to be redesigned, as it favours the client-server model too much. Something like IPFS? Although that doesn't seem to have caught on.
I honestly believe crypto has a future, but what it looks like I do not know. We're currently in the crypto-bubble, which much like the early web, is full of money grabbers and idiots.
I use Brave as my daily driver, and to hear that it's "cryptoscam" just doesn't align with my experience. You can totally turn off or ignore the crypto stuff if you want. Unlike the majority of the web today which is full of so much tracking, intrusions and scams it seems strange to pass off Brave for offering something different to that.
It's more than a name change though isn't it? It's access to women only spaces and women only sports etc. This is what people are really upset about. I don't think people actually care about name changes.
Russia will take control of all or most nuclear power plants and other infrastructure. At which point it's only a matter of time until the people of Ukraine will surrender with no water or electricity.
As it stands the West can do nothing.
In the case that NATO starts shooting, the sarcophagus over Chernobyl can be bombed (Putin can blame Ukrainians here).
It seems to be that there's no way out for the Ukrainians :(
Are you new to politics? This is pretty much standard about all elections/referendums.
Even the remain campaign was full of half truths and manipulations. (Running out of food and medicines for example... When the opposite happened when we needed to vaccinate the entire population).
