A guy who still dares to dream right in the face of this skeptical world.
A quick reminder: history has no legal power. Only current international law holds that authority. Appealing to history for territorial gains through acts of aggression is still a criminal act, a step towards the new age of conquest and WWIII.

Did you know you can middle click the refresh button in Edge, Chrome, (and probably other browsers) and it will duplicate the page in another tab 👀

I like the new native Dynamic Lighting support. I uninstalled Razer software as it was hogging my CPU whenever any RGB effect was active.

The latest Windows 11 update (KB5030310) corrects the spelling of Ukraine's capital from 'Kiev' (Russian) to 'Kyiv' (Ukrainian).

Thanks, Microsoft!

Did you know that Ukraine is the only country in the world that celebrates Hideo Kojima's birthday with a military parade?

At least some gamers here like to joke about it on the Independence Day, which also falls on August 24.

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 💙💛
And happy birthday to Mr. Kojima! 🤓

I notice more and more people catching COVID these days around the world. Good ol' loss of smell and taste among other symptoms. Looks like a new wave is gaining momentum. Wear your masks, people.
As the new Eris Covid variant spreads across the world, here’s what we know so far
EG.5 or "Eris," now the dominant variant in the United States, is currently thought to have the same risk level as existing variants.

Localization, as opposed to accurate translation, assumes translator's own creative level to be on par with, or above, the original author's. If this holds true, the localization ends up great. More often than not, however, it distorts the author's vision or breaks the style of the narrative.

Submitted a bug to the Bluesky devs.

Currently, the first language you enable under Content Languages becomes the target language for the Translate feature.

Now that I've figured out the cause of this bug, it's actually quite useful. Maybe it should be turned into a feature? :)

It's extraordinary to see how clearly defined the frontline now is in Ukraine, even when viewed from space at a macro scale.

The grey of the dried up Kakhovka Reservoir followed by a green scar of un-harvested fields where it is too dangerous for agriculture.

Relevant for the forseeable future:

Prolatiophobia (n.) – (lat. 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯) the feeling of obsessive fear of an imaginary punishment one would face for helping a victim of aggression, resulting in the urge to protect oneself from said punishment instead of the victim facing it.
