This is actually a traffic police. "ДПС" is an abbreviation from the Дорожно (traffic) Постовая (patrol) Служба (service).

If I need a bulletproof stability, I would just choose Debian Stable over Ubuntu. From Ubuntu such a things are expected imo. It always was about "we prioritize latest features and modern software over stability"

And every customer will have own agent to corrupt and obfuscate their every move for watcher. 10 years after someone realize that we are burning a huge amount of computational resources for this totally redundant "agnets-in-middle" and European Commission restricts such a practices.

I was living in Russia this time and I recognized the photo. And because I as a local have a context, I left a comment that the second photo in a row is misleading.

Wait a second. My point was only the TS` points were wrong at least for the "protests in Russia" simply because the photo are 9th May pride and the state backed action. You can check it by yourself by finding original pictures and checking the background story.

As one who was born in Russia and have been living there for 30 years until 2022 when the shitty government started the brutal invasion to Ukraine, I see this completely different. Russia is far away from socialism and is reuled by oligarchs. All the praise to Soviet Union is about only war propaganda to justify the imperial wars organized by Putin and his friends oligarchs.

2d photo about Russia is a procession orfanize by regime. Jfyi, Putin himself participated in it. 100% not "russians fighting against regime".

Bill Klinton?

I read the whole article and did not find an answer for a very simple question: what are benefits for users? The whole speech is about how we CAN put agents to all the devices, etc. without answering the simple question WHY should we do it. There are a lot of words about how can google and friends use the data for advertising. But nothing about motivation of users to allow it. He is talking about economical reasons but it will work if and only if users will have economical reasons to put agents on their devices. As of today I do not see a lot of usage of autonomous agents outside of the professional work like software development or ms word automation. What are reasons for people to make these agents a part of their life? The whole speech is built on top of the assumption that happens without a word about why should it. Am I missing something?

Agreed, their logic is kinda strange. Who knows, maybe you re right and in a decade they forgot that "US imperialism" supported Pol-Pot for more than 10 years even after the crimes of the regime had no doubts. But I think they just understand somewhere deep in mind that Pol-Pot is totally bad, want to distance themselves from it and the fact of the western support gave them a good way to do it.

I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Pol Pot got a support from the US, UK and some others western countries in it's conflict with Vietnam starting from ~1979 until early 90s. For tankies it is a red flag: they better support DRPK, not a "US imperialism puppet"

Why anarchism is always only utopia? The question itself is strange imo. Why I cannot share the anarchist view and just ask for more federalization instead of centralization, ask for more workers cooperative ownership instead of private ownership, ask for support the community militia instead of militarization of police, ask to replace professional politicians by delegates with binding mandate, and ao fourth and so on? Why is it always dichotomy "complete anarchy or nothing"?
