Honestly, an awful lot of the people who use it are basically just social democrats wrapped in more radical imagery. It just means "far left" to a lot of people. Maybe read the name of the thread you are posting in?

fatherboxx posted:https://twitter.com/bazabazon/status/1205054965699547137 Was just going to make the joke in reply to Nenonen, that it's ought to be non-trivial to distinguish a Kuznetsov fire from a Kuznetsov engine. However, while it is somewhat ironic that the guy missing in the fire is a commanding officer of the emergency rescue battalion, I do hope that they find the guy gets out or is find alive, smoke suffocation/poisoning consequences are horrifying.

Hahahahahaha, what a profound article. It's windows XP and I bet the machine its on is 6 years old or older. Machines 6 years or older are ubiquituous, almost free, windows XP has been cracked to helk and back and microsoft won't send you copyright notices. Sure, they cant connect to the internet w/o a cable, but when you need a basic, solid computer for almost free, that's what you do. But of course hurr durr the steppe slav is dumb and doesnt know computer security instead of seeing it as the budgetary control measure that it is. Word to the wise. Vvvvv Hahahahahahah!

The only thing they have to go on is the taskbar, and it doesn't even look in any way like the typical XP setup, it even appears to have the newer Start button with just the Windows logo. It looks like Windows 7 with disabled Aero or something.

The linked Guardian article doesn't have any computer photos in it at all. Or maybe it is the only photo they used, in which case lol. E: okay, there are actually plenty of photos of Putin's computer. This one is from that documentary Oliver Stone did a couple of years ago. Back then people also claimed that it was XP, but I can't really make out anything that would prove that.  E2: some people say it's actually some obscure Linux distribution that is officially certified for use in high-security networks, and is apparently used by Russian Ministry of Defence. E3: either way, that's pretty poo poo reporting from Guardian. Paladinus fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Dec 18, 2019 |

Yeah it could be Astra, it’s about 8 years old now and is used in Russian defence industry, and some industrial machinery control environments with high cost of failure.

Windows engineer here, and I can’t tell for sure what that OS is. It might be XP, but it’s not obvious enough in the Guardian photo. The Oliver Stone photo doesn’t look like Windows, unless maybe it’s an extended monitor without a start button.

Cops as usual are trying to keep everything secret and have flat out refused classifying it as a terrorist attack. Mother of the shooter just said that he "hated KGB" before cops isolated her from the jounalists. Of course it is deeply ironic and non-surprising that the massive surveillance state system that is so effective at sending anarchist bookclubs to taser torture jail did jack poo poo to stop fat chud with an AK from shooting at a loving Lubyanka building. Donbass veterans and Syria-touring mercenaries from Wagner are definetely going to be an issue - there is not enough blood diamond security jobs in Africa under Prigozhin companies for all of them and nobody is going to pay them military pensions any time soon.

There is nothing in the news supporting your fiction. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50864527 quote:Russian media have identified the man who opened fire at the Federal Security Service (FSB) headquarters in Moscow as a 39-year-old loner and gun enthusiast. This 39 year old goon who lived with his mother and had practised at a gun club for three months certainly sounds like Russia's Frank Castle.

I don't expect disgruntled separatist soldiers to attack FSB like that any time soon. Unlike some random guy with an AK, they are more likely to be under constant surveillance. In other new, there was supposed to be an event in Minsk in support of deeper integration with Russia, and literally nobody showed up. Now that's what I call a strong message to Russia.

Yeah the attacker is just a gun fetishist, allegedly of a hardline libertarian kind. In my opinion, Putin’s rather muted end of year announcement coupled with constitutional presidential terms topic are way more thought-provoking.
