I believe it’s at least partially tied to Android’s architecture, for example how you need to “optimize apps” on first boot.

When I read “open shell account server” I thought this meant you anyone get access programmatically. This sounded like a disaster.

But turns out, at least with the respect to this NetBSD specific offer, you have to send out an application.

Google disagrees. In fact, the company tells the BBC that AI Overviews have been good for the web, and AI Mode will be no different. Google insists these features send users to “a greater diversity of websites” and the traffic is “higher quality” because people spend more time on the links they click.

However, the company hasn’t provided data to back up these claims.

This is how we know they are lying.

No shit, he said he was wrong after the full scale invasion began. It would be very strange for him to claim that “the invasion” is not happening after russia invaded.

Before that he was openly parroting russian narratives about how US intel was incorrect and how the invasion wasn’t happening.

Many times. Want me to say it again? “Russia should not invade Ukraine.”

The reason I don’t say it more is because it’s a non-statement: everybody agrees with it, even Russians. The only people who think slogans solve the problem are people who don’t understand the conflict.

Lying about russian attitudes. 85% (with adjustments for preference falsification) of russians support the annexation of Crimea; the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

I want to see an end to the conflict in Ukraine, and frankly, I think all reasonable people share that position. The question nobody seems to want to contend with is whether amplifying official claims made without evidence are reducing hostilities, or are in fact provoking them.

TIME paints here a very different picture of the Ukraine crisis, reporting that it is a drive to censor and criminalize the domestic political opposition—a drive encouraged by the White House—that has brought some to believe war is the only option.

He even uses the russian term “Ukraine crisis” and blames Ukrainians for russian aggression (ironic considering how “open” politics are in russia).

He routinely promotes Glenn Greenwald (who said all Ukrainians are Nazis) and David Sachs, both of whom are openly supportive of russian genocidal imperialism.

I highly doubt you’ll change your opinion on Snowden. Generally speaking, it would be difficult for Snowden fanboys to admit that their hero isn’t the paragon of virtue that they claim he is.

I gave you a specific example. Do a search for his tweets before Feb 24 2022 regarding Ukraine. Note how he was parroting russian official channel claims that the full scale invasion is not happening and ridiculing US security services (that correctly predicted that it is happening). Now do a search for official russian statements on this issue for this period.

You can do the searching yourself or feel free to assume that I am lying in order to discredit your little angel.

Secondly do lookup on who he promotes and what kind of things they say about Ukraine. This includes individuals claiming that everyone in Ukraine are Nazis and that Russia invasion was justified by security concerns. Both messages are openly promoted but the russians.

I stand corrected, there is an example of him criticizing the russian government. Then again, this almost from 10 years ago.

I gave you examples from the last few years.

Snowden messaging is directly aligned with russian security services and their key propaganda narratives.

Look at his messaging before the full scale invasion; until the invasion he was distributing russian propaganda about how “the invasion is not happening” and some world salad about NATO and BATO.

He routinely promotes messaging supportive of russian imprialism and spreads known falsehoods.

Snowden does not critize the russian government. Don’t lie.

Elmo “Pedo Guy” Musk is merging Twitter with Fortnite. So the Twitter bots will now be playing Fortine while spamming Elmo propaganda in chat.

What exactly is not clear to you?

Did you read the article?

Can you explain the arguments without a web search?

Of course not, because you are just reciting online roleplay bullshit.

Give me something that would shows you’re not just a random degenerate lying about things you don’t understand.

This shouldn’t be difficult.

Don’t even bother aggressively googling for random shit. I will of course see through it because … wait for it … I lived in Russia during the 1996 election and I speak russian.

Fuck off. You have no proof for this. You’re just parroting random copytext.

I lived in russia during the 1996 election (and I speak russian unlike you).

You’re lying and parroting russian revanchist victimhood narrative propaganda blaming scapegoats for the actions of the russians.

This is some degenerate propaganda.

Turns out Greenwald works for Peter Theil (via Rumble).

It is likely Greenwald is likely to trying to have his cake and eat it. Extract money from both sets of marks.

What does this have to do with anything I said?

There are millions of people who fight freedoms all around the world and don’t back down when the going gets tough.

Snowden immediately started supporting russian genocidal imperialism. Look at his posts pre full scale invasion in Jan and Feb 2022. Complete alignment with russian propaganda about how they are not going to invade.

Hope Snowden and his family (wife and child) get to experience what they wish for Ukrainians in russian internment camps in the occupied territories.

For those that don’t know russian, this would come off as an escort service app. )

Touché

We’ve crossed it a long time ago.

Out of the ~1.6 million russian men who took part/are taking part (dead, wounded, currently fighting) in the full scale invasion of Ukraine, how many were children in 2014 when the invasion started?

While adults russians are clearly responsible, when are you fighting the russians you cannot put your head in the sand and wish away the fact that there is a ~65% chance a russian child will grow up as an open supporter of genocidal imperialism and another 20% chance (for a total 85%) that they will be supporters of imperialism but perhaps not open supporters of genocidal aims.

P.S. Just an FYI, standard critiques about polling numbers are not relevant here, as these numbers exclude preference falsification (i.e. someone being afraid to state their true view), the “nominal” results are even higher.
