artem2471··on The Internet is completely unusuable when petty content is promoted
My dear “Ukrainian”, паляниця does not mean strawberry in Ukrainian.

The whole idea of beating up Russians based on a word is a fantasy.

Oh god, forgot about that, I do need to add some additional docs for EU availability. Thanks
artem2471··on Show HN: Werner – A native Markdown editor for macOS with four view modes
Yes, I think Typora is the closest one to what Werner is now.

So it is sort of a benchmark.

There are 2 questions: 1. Is there a something that both Typora and Werner do not have, that would benefit their target users? 2. Is there a better approach in general to local-first rich docs in general, like, not Markdown, for example?

Finland retained its independence.

There was a clear designation of Finland as Soviet zone of influence in Molotov Ribbentrop protocol, every other country in that zone was conquered.

That one attack where Russians released an ai generated video to prove its existence.

So Biden was “implying” something, and that was the reason for the war.

Maybe people in Ukraine already decided?

There is no trust between Ukraine and Russia, there won’t be an agreement.

Finland inflicted a serious military victory over ussr, actually had a possibility of Allies joining in Winter War, and fought with ussr in 1941-1945. After all that it got its neutral position, not only by ceding some land, but actively resisting. Meanwhile Baltic states lost their sovereignty for 50 years.

Where do you live, so that you need starlink specifically?

Starlink mini costs 400 usd in Kyiv 1600 usd will buy you delta 3 max.

What exactly do you do?

artem2471··on Russia Once Offered U.S. Control of Venezuela for Free Rein in Ukraine
> Zelensky than campaigned on repairing ties with Russia and got elected.

Zelensky had peace and negotiation with Russia in his campaign. Ukrainian politicians, who actually had “repairing ties with Russia” in their campaign lost.

artem2471··on Russia Once Offered U.S. Control of Venezuela for Free Rein in Ukraine
Constitutional amendment about joining Nato was voted in Ukrainian parliament in 2019. Parliament itself was elected after seizure of Crimea and after start of war in Donbas
artem2471··on Russia Once Offered U.S. Control of Venezuela for Free Rein in Ukraine
Russia seized and annexed Crimea before Poroshenko was elected.
artem2471··on Russia Once Offered U.S. Control of Venezuela for Free Rein in Ukraine
> The nukes were also under full control of the Russian armed forces, in Ukraine.

That is not true.

Pro Lukashenko Belarus website on HN is wild.
artem2471··on The Brave1 Market: Ukraine soldiers earn points for kills, redeem for gear
It’s not about motivation, it’s about flexibility and transparency in procurement, and additional stimulus to be more data-driven on each side, from operator to officer to government officials.
artem2471··on What Happened to Ukraine's Missile Defense
No, Israel did not intercept more missiles than rest of the world.

The main thing you missing is scale. Sheer amount of missiles Russia sent over four years is in thousands, in drones in 10’s of thousands.

artem2471··on Poland shoots down drones in its airspace during Russian attack on Ukraine
These are both. Shaheds/Gerbera used to be autonomous mission-based with baked flight paths, now they sometimes have cameras and internet.
artem2471··on 2.7M – Number of Ukrainian and Russian Soldiers Lost
Outside of ridiculous main claim, the phrase “civilian casualties estimated in several thousands” really threw me off. And the lack of any cross-check etc. IndiaTimes, I guess.
artem2471··on [Dennis Yurichev] was forcefully draften/enrolled to Ukraine army
The regions are already largely occupied by —- that is not true. Zaporizhzha and Kherson cities where most population lives are under Ukrainian control. There is a significant population in Kramatorsk-Slavyansk.

Second, Russia demands ceding all of Zaporizhzha, Kherson and Donetsk region to Russian control. Ukraine already agreed to unconditional ceasefire, Russia wants 3 regions with millions of people.

Any non-conscripts left to Europe - that is not true, there are many kids, elderly and women in Ukraine, including the South and the East.

Referendum for status of Crimea was never on Zelensky ballot. « – Крим повернеться лише тоді, коли у Росії зміниться влада. Іншого виходу у мене немає, – наголосив Зеленський.» nothing about ceding anything.

Nor it was sole Russian demand at any point. So that’s a nice rhetorical device here, but ceding or not ceding Crimea has no relation to the war’s end

About whether Ukraine can or cannot win the war, I don’t have a magical crystal ball and neither do you. Soviet Union lost to Finland, Russia to Chechen insurgents, the disparity was much bigger.

In reality, Ukraine gave away Crimea in 2014 “to prevent war”, it worked out nicely, yeah?

Another point, Kherson and Zaporizhzha consistently, even before 2022, voted for pro-EU parties, in two parliamentary and two presidential elections.

What is also interesting, is that in your messages there was not a single mention of Russia’s responsibility for the war. It is treated like some sort of a tornado. Zelensky this, Zelensky that. Doesn’t Russia have some sort of agency, no? Isn’t it a bit conspicuous for a Ukrainian, no?

About losing something to gain something, Ukraine already lost a lot in 2014-2015, yet that did not lead to any gains. There is no equilibrium here.

Pps: I think your time is not of the utmost value.

artem2471··on [Dennis Yurichev] was forcefully draften/enrolled to Ukraine army
And what would be with the people who live in those regions? Who would house them, if they decide to move to Ukrainian controlled territory? What would be with the people who would be persecuted by Russians?

What do you know about what people in Ukraine want? Who gave you the right to speak from Ukrainians position?

You don’t live in Ukraine, you are not a Ukrainian, you are just “from Ukraine”.

artem2471··on [Dennis Yurichev] was forcefully draften/enrolled to Ukraine army
What is the death toll in Mariupol?
artem2471··on Sen. Padilla is forcefully removed from Noem's news conference and handcuffed
Well, now you see why Ukrainians protested against Yanukovich for four months.

State violence is a very dangerous road.

artem2471··on LLMs and Elixir: Windfall or deathblow?
My experience, even though rather limited, tells me that llm’s work well with languages like Elm and Rust, with powerful static analysis and great compiler ux.
artem2471··on BuyMeACoffee silently dropped support for many countries (2024)
No shit. Have you ever been to Ukraine? And by what metrics do you judge corruption and “totalitarianism”?

Briberies, illegal goods, sheesh…

artem2471··on The Ukraine War and the Kill Market
Russia has been doing a long time, with direct money bonuses for destruction of vehicles. Ukraine gives "points" bonuses to units, which are used for paying for new equipment.

So no protests in the streets.

artem2471··on The Secret History of the War in Ukraine
How your grandfather’s family was killed?
artem2471··on The Secret History of the War in Ukraine
Well tell me that sad story about your grandfather’s whole family. Who killed them?
artem2471··on The Secret History of the War in Ukraine
What new masters? You are delirious.
artem2471··on The Secret History of the War in Ukraine
How do you know who convinced Ukrainians about anything? That Ukrainians at any point were convinced about that?
artem2471··on Ukraine agrees to accept immediate, 30-day ceasefire -US-Ukraine statement
You somehow forgot Russian drone attacks that happen literally each day. “I hate both sides” well, I hate you, and would pray ww3 would start.
