Arrests and visits are not that widespread yet. Problems are atomization of society and lack of trust, that doesn't help organizing for literally anything too. Someone in higher comment remembered the long and hardly broken by 90s history of opression, but there's an old anecdote: 'If Stalin is such a monster, who sniched on others millions of times?'. If you don't vet a person\company before dropping heavy topics and opinions, they can tell on you just out of spite. On a local, small people level, folks aren't found out by secret services, they are snitched on. A girl painted a pro-peace picture and teacher called a police, resulting in her father imprisoned and her put into shelter. Some guy overheard a couple talking in a cafe and boyfriend was pressed face-to-floor before they had a chance to leave. Some college students snitched on a classmate just for lulz to FSB and she got a prison sentence out of blue, she was 19. It's despicable, but these facts aren't systemic oppression, but rather ugly POSes having a new leverage over others. When Zs are plastered everywhere, you aren't really sure who'd hear you at all times.

Telegram is very widespread and not blocked (while most VPNs are). Many under 45 follow the situation there, see videos and news. They just don't know what to do with that, to fully comprehend what's going on themselves and see their role in it, and totally unlikely to talk about it publicly. It's going back to close kitchen talks of later USSR. Everyone understands everything, but mantra comes to mind. Not many take a hard stance now, but try to put together a Frankenstein's creature of conflicting thoughts\bits of information to somehow explain the situation (like the viral beheading done by Wagner), or isolate themselves from it altogether to keep moving. Only to then get very surprised, when this thrown away and long forgotten puzzle suddenly blows up under their bed.

A very weird place to observe.

Is there a way for admin teams and self-hosters to have a shared banlist, IP\instances included? Like a sideloading addition to a local filter, with a limited amount of collectively approved contributors commiting to it directly? I don't know how it should work, but it may possibly reduce their attacks' effectiveness.

Creating basic tools, shack building, navigation, breadmaking, pottery. I'm no expert in that, but child bringing and care would also be needed to not lose every first one in infancy. Guess, it's enough to survive and figure out other things.

It was confirmed by russian side. No external expertize possible in this case. With information given, nothing sticks. Nor the simpliest version, nor the craziest one, because they all rise doubts one way or another.

But what names they give us?

Intentionally terrible design. Them and Adobe learned from games that you would be likely to use official\subscription service if your workflow depends on cloud services. One put AI voice transcriptions and generative tools, another added furter cloud integration into files themselves. Pirated copies won't have access to these features, so it'd become an increasing handicap to those not paying.

$20... is $20...

But there's cold, and forests, and stuff!

I'm confused too. Guess, just nationalism is not enough.

Scandinavian stuff is like a magnet for nazi idiots. Vikings, runes, groups like Burzum (see Varg Vikernes), white majority in the country, nortern nature, isolation and safety to form clubs or even parties for them. It's like a Disneyland for him.

And after a while, when he was deported, he probably wanted to get back, as in his country nazism is controlled and only useful, submissive strays are safe to be. Becoming too influential or talking against the party line is a punishable offence. At least a couple of big neonazi\alt-right turds got suicided in recent decade for acting up, and I wasn't following them closely. If only it wasn't in history books.

A healthy diet, if you will. Fastfood is okay once in a while but eating it all the time just as tiring to one's body as clickbait information to one's head.
