Canada is the same thing, online or in person. Though they've removed the profession requirement in the last couple decades (but it was more restrictive back then, it was basically: lawyer, someone with a PhD, or an engineer).

I mean the betting odds for presidential elections are crazy accurate. This isn't poker, being good at statistics isn't illegal.

I'm getting downvoted, that's cute.

The German government has been tightlipped about the affair for two years, but this week, German media outlets ARD, Sueddeutsche Zeitung and Die Zeit jointly reported that federal prosecutors obtained an arrest warrant against a Ukrainian man. A Polish government spokesperson confirmed it.

The German reports identified the man as Volodymyr Z., a diving instructor who last resided in Poland

According to an investigation by three German media outlets, including public broadcaster ARD, Volodymyr Z was part of a team of experienced Ukrainian divers who in September 2022 hired a German yacht, sailed out into the Baltic Sea and planted the explosives, blowing up three of the four Nord Stream pipelines.

A small Ukrainian crew disguised as a pleasure boat cruise was behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

A Swedish investigation found evidence of sabotage on the pipelines between Russia and Germany. Moscow had initially accused the U.S. Probes by Sweden and Denmark were closed in February 2024 without identifying those responsible, although a German investigation is ongoing.

Are we on this bullshit still? It's been pretty well established by now that Russia didn't sabotage its own pipeline.


So US officials are reporting that Russia is developing capabilities they already have and that we should find that outrageous somehow?

Fuck autocrats, and fuck assymetric outrage that props them up.

I mean it's always been the modus operandi at Micro$oft from day one when they fucked over the guy who wrote DOS.

Plenty of shady monopolistic things happened under Gates as well. The original Explorer antitrust lawsuit dates from the late 90s, the ACPI debacle, etc.

You say XMPP doesn't work for the request, why not?

That entirely depends who those people are. If you said in the early 2000s say: I'm training to join the army to go kill some Iraqis to bring "freedom", you'd never get in trouble.
