I’ve been noticing this a lot. There’s a lot more Russian support in all my apps. I really think there’s a concerted effort that is now being fully enabled by our current administration.

They said they barely know vba. So it’s probably the integration into MS tools.

I hate this timeline.

I raised a small handful of cows for a bit growing up. Tipping them over never crossed my mind because they’re huge, heavy and strong. You would have to use a tractor or other machinery and that’s just animal abuse at that point.

People have a hard time with nuance.

Yes. I’m aware that this conflict is technically over a decade long and there’s huge amounts of propaganda from both sides trying to portray themselves and the hero/victim.

I am certainly always open to learning more than I have access to though.

Yes. We should care. Russia is the aggressor here. They deserve to at least be condemned.

I’m not saying Ukraine is perfect and I’m sure my world view is altered by propaganda in some way, but at its base, Russia invaded Ukraine and if Russia is committing war crimes, they should not be supported.

If Russia had never invaded, that soldier could instead be at home with family or friends, alive.

I can understand that. Given even edge runs a modified chromium if I recall correctly, everything is being developed for that. I use edge since its built in when sites aren’t working, which isn’t often for me. That said, on my work laptop, I use exclusively edge.

What’s wrong with Firefox? They’ve been around a long time and are currently in a good spot as far as speed/compatibility goes

Anecdotal, being from Louisiana, this is what I’ve been pressured with my entire life.

I stopped seeing things about it but I didn’t even realize they killed it. What a shame.

A bad battery

Many are just trying to make the best out of what we have and it often feels like we have such little impact on these things happening across the country, let along in other parts of the world. The world population approaches 8 billion. Our impact is often meaningful in some way, but incredibly limited overall.

How can someone truly help with something across the world, like Ukraine/Russia and now Israel/Gaza, when conflict is constant and many also have to simply survive, in the face of entities that are capable of spending trillions of dollars.
