Alright, this is getting unfunny now

most likely resulting in slower internet services or complete disruption for the average Russian. Unfortunately, the ordinary Russian wouldn’t be able to use high-speed satellite internet as a backup, as Starlink does not work in Russia,

What the fuck is he talking about. Yandex is not an ISP, it doesnt provide any internet access services to anyone. Its first and foremost a search engine, like google (the crawlers are most likely responsible for most of outgoing traffic, tagged as bot or otherwise), with crapload of affiliated services, like google, including their own payment system, like google, which is causing a lot of pain rn to those who chose to keep all of their savings in it, and their own cloud service, like google, which took down quite a lot of other sites with it, along with disruptions to TV's (yandex OS is running on nearly half of them, like android) as well as, unlike google, taxi and food delivery services that they have near-monopoly on, so those effectively halted in the entire country. But, again, unlike google, they dont offer FTTH, residential or commerical internet access, or anything even remotely like that. What in the fuck's sake satellite internet and starlink has to do with it, idk, thats just plain absolute worst journalism, just writing words without even a pinch of research.

And no, despite of how funny it would've been, there isnt actually any report of reduced troll activity ofher than some weird chart some german politician pulled out of their ass without referencing any source. You can even go to xitter, type "яндекс" into search and find loads of actual Russians mass ratioing those few that chose to defend yandex, as well as their reps themselves trying to calm everyone down. If anything, Russian activity on foreign resources only increased because domestic resources are down.

    As if AI gave any power in the first place. I'm yet to see any AI produce anything even remotely useful, and have about a dozen or two cases where it was nothing but a complete waste of time.

    I've seen worse. I've been to a hotel where corridors were shaped like lowercase m letter, with central leg being the entrance and side legs having rooms on both sides, so the windows of inner ones were facing each other through public lobby 🫣 Needless to say, none of the curtains were ever open, so they were effectively windowless

    Dumb take since people could travel through both ways visa-free all the way until 2022, even after 2014, during the donbass war, so the invasion was effectively a border closure and a restriction of people's movement.
