I did no such thing. The Soviets defeated the nazis and suffered the most.

The US and their vassals merely made you believe their propaganda: Patton the movie et al.

Are you British? They play word games.

You might want to check out Scrivener (Mac and Windows). I use that in lieu of note cards. The cork board function lets you re-arrange text and media to your hearts content and then compile the final output to Word, PDF whatever. It's designed for non-linear writing.

On IOS/macos there's an app called "Unwatched for YouTube" which allows you to subscribe to channels via RSS (no need to login) and then you can turn shorts on/off per channel.

It's free for now but the developer has plans for some kind of subscription for premium features.

If you only use IMAP gmail is just good old email. I learnt about the AI inbox from your comment.

If Russia had treated The Ukraine the way the US and its vassals treated Yugoslavia and Iraq - knocking power and water utilities in week one, we would be having a very different discussion indeed.

This isn't about the US against Russia/China. This is about the US and its vassals against the civilised world.

A nice change from the British.

I used to teach C programming and one time I got anonymous feedback: "when this instructor doesn't know the answer he says "it's compiler dependent.""

Shrug.

Sorry, wrong. The first target was to get back control of the Russian speaking regions, which is ongoing.

What you're saying is what Western media has made up since day one. Per usual.

The second target is denazification. Which means getting rid of the Nuland installed regime.

OpenBSD is security focused while FreeBSD will remind you of older X-Windows workstations.

What's the situation with Broadcom wifi on your intel macs?

We've run into instability issues with the newer Linux kernels (starting with 6.x, I think) and have had to stop upgrading.

Define "won the war"

Russia's definition or the western concept of land grab.

Putin laid it out very clearly in his speeches. They are not interested in a land grab, they want to denazify The Ukraine and liberate the Russian speaking regions.

Denazification means more banderaites and by extension no more NATO.

Please read what the experts say. Google is worthless and has been for years.

The Marshall plan furnished 30% of the transport etc.

By the time the western allies reached Berlin the Soviets had already wrecked the Germans.

No one is arguing the US fought on the eastern front, the argument is over who suffered the most.

Don't take my word for it, read "When Titans Clashed" by Glantz and House.

30% of trucks and transport 8% of the tanks 0% of the casualties: 27 million

Oh please. That's like saying a 500 pound gorilla beat the pulp out of a bunch of chihuahuas.

The US can't subdue Iran, leave alone Russia. Or China.

Which conflict has the US won in the last 25 years? Strike that: 50 years?

There's a strong case that they didn't even defeat the nazis, that was done by the Soviets.
