Curious (not) how Soviets just became ‘russian’. This is soft propaganda once again.

Premise? The guy spews the most vile stuff and russian propaganda. There is more than premise to say he’s a piece of shit.

Outdated Cisco hardware, vpns still getting pings, port scan finds some open, people start to connect to proxies to connect out of Kazakhstan?

I think there is an analog here to the great man theory vs zeitgeist. Maybe this tech was underwhelming and its massive impact was due to fortuitous timing. So you weren’t wrong about the tech just how it would mix with the spirit of the moment.

The energy drain of software development is something I struggle with. I’ve worked as a painter and can relate to wrapping things up for the day and coming home physically exhausted but with energy remaining. Especially with Covid ‘work from anywhere all the time’ it’s very difficult to find a balance as a software slinger.

Your own reference proves it’s anything but fake news. That link states right off the bat that banning travel was virtually useless. He’s on record with Bob Woodward talking about how he knew the virus is serious but he wanted to avoid ‘panic’. If Trump spent a fraction of the energy he’s devoting to without any proof undermining our voting he would have been re-elected free and clear.

Bottom line or at least some silver lining?

I’ve seen the impeachment described as illegitimate somehow. It was political sure, no doubt about it. But he tried to use his office to coerce a foreign government to take down his political opponent. That should be a fireable offense. He only escaped it because of purely political defense.

Are you trying to cast doubt on the imbalance in the occurrence of these killings? That seems naive if I assume the best of intentions.

But they aren’t taxed without representation. In fact they are subsidized heavily. The very opposite.
