> most of the world is not at war with Russia

the sooner you realize that putin is at war with you - the better.

keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
this virtue signaling doesn't apply to times of war. call me despicable all you want, but allowing enemy in your infospace unchecked is plain dumb.

i will argue for censoring that shit during war. i understand your position, but i disagree.

> I'm no authority to classify or confirm whether RT is a "government propaganda vehicle".

russian war shill, go fuck yourself.

keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
there is no "enormous nazi problem in ukraine", that is literally russian propaganda. there is much larger nazi problem in russia in fact, from existence of radical far-right groups all the way up to concentration camps for gays in Chechnya. i suggest you re-evaluate your sources.

russian invasion can't be called anything other than fascist - military glorious leader annexing a chunk of neighbour's territory under justification that people there are compatriots that need saving. you can't make that shit up.

What a dumb argument. North Korea also has hospitals. Are hospitals a sign of tyrannical dictatorship? Use your brain a little, for fucks sake.

If CNN participated in a blatant propaganda - i would want to hold them accountable. I don't believe they did during Iraq war, primarily because CNN is not government owned media and they don't know what is true or not. You can blame them for not verifying stories (and there should be responsibility for that as well), but RT absolutely knows what things they report are propaganda lies and what aren't.
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
First of all, whataboutism.

Second, we can learn about russian propaganda stories without allowing enemy propaganda to poison gullible part of population uncontested.

keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
it's war. just like north korea would launch missiles during war, they would block enemy propaganda during war. doing the same doesn't make you tyrannical dictatorship - it's just means of waging war. weird that i have to explain basics of logic to you. or maybe not weird at all..
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
do you deny that RT is russian government propaganda vehicle?
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
"think RT is bad? well what about CNN?"

how is that not whataboutism exactly?

keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
it would explain a lot about you if you don't consider north korea a tyrannical dictatorship. so do you or do you not?

> doesn't make your take any more credible

it makes my awareness of the situation on the ground stronger

> 1) support censorship

of enemy's propaganda vehicle. wonder why would you omit that little fact. getting paid to do so?

> 2) don't care to verify stories

you lying sack of shit.

> 3) are under the impression that being Ukrainian makes your take automatically truthful

you lying sack of shit.

i am ukrainian and i am in contact with multiple people affected on the ground.

the issue now is not "how good of a reporting does this or that media produce?" the issue is "a literal fascist government is invading a sovereign country and their propaganda machine is in full throttle mode".
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
sure, from their perspective they are. but they are a tyrannical dictatorship - we know that. don't we? do you? just checking, because, you know...
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
Zelensky was talking about an attack that happened within hours of his message, can't blame him for fog of war. And he didn't call for violence but for response from international community, which frankly he has every right to do when fascist invaders are taking over major nuclear power plants in your country, don't you think?

You seriously bringing up that example in contrast to russian propaganda machine weaponising a completely fabricated story about crucified boy, with intention of evoking deep emotional response and getting separatists to start fighting?

keymone··on Just say no to :latest
Sure, and many do that, but you don't have to if you refer by digest of image's contents.
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
There is no sociology in a dictatorship where everybody knows about repercussions of expressing an opinion that goes against their glorious leader's will.
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
It's censorship of enemy's propaganda vehicle. Since when is that considered "bad"?
keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
Since when blocking enemy's propaganda considered "bad"?

Are you for real comparing integrity of CNN and RT?

Show me a single outright lie CNN published, comparable to RT publishing a story that ukrainian army crucified a child on a main square in 2014 which caused some people in russia to volunteer as fighters and cross the border with intention of killing ukrainians.

keymone··on Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble after Big Tech curbs
RT reported about ukrainian army crucifying a child in Donbas in 2014 which literally caused some people in Russia to volunteer as fighters and cross the border with intention to kill ukrainians.

No, RT should be banned and every person working for it should be jailed for life.

Freedom of speech is not freedom of inciting violence and hatred.

version numbers are never immutable. they are arbitrary labels that are created by some centralized authority and can be changed by that same authority.

artifacts being removed is much less of a problem as artifacts being spoofed with malicious content.

i suggest you to read my comment again, because so far what you've said applies to you more than to me.

yeah, well, i stopped reading when i saw that "GOOD" example. it's not. and that isn't a "side point", that's the most critical point for preserving security and reproducibility of builds.

    # GOOD:
    image: "nginx:1.21.6"
nothing "good" about it, literally no different from ":latest".

only full hash reference.
