Honestly, affinity is just a company. They will make a Linux version if it makes business sense for them and it won’t. Adobe is far ahead in almost every way. Their software is competing in the market of amateurs. And for an amateur, it should make more sense to pick up Gimp, inkspace. Affinity publisher is ok, but pros will have adobe and for anything less inkspace or figma free tier is good enough. Affinity has no market.

It’s this about skyblivion or what? It doesn’t mention.

Skyblivion has been developing very publicly for years.

No, he didn’t look like he could. Maybe if it was the other way around and he had help and vdp didn’t.

In general it’s not his kind of a race at all.

Good race. Pogačar was hurting. Great job for alopecin decunick.

Doesn’t such a move mean, they think the season is over for them?

Luka defined himself with this petulant bs. It’s easy to give him a technical now. It’s normal.

What happened to him?

They don’t want to win. At least not with someone who would bring change. Why would they, they are all multimillionaires.

I’d say it’s not true, the bigger story or of this would be the leak itself.

Yeah, it’s like someone figured the best way to destroy a country and it’s all going according to plan. It’s such a trainwreck, it’s hard to imagined it’s not planned.

I’m not saying it’s planned, it’s just so bizarre.

Bizzare. Americans are seriously crazy. It’s a monarchy really, it’s so in your face, like a bad comedy.

I don’t understand this. It’s really unlikely Ukraine has so many mineral resources and even if they do, the investments needed to extract them would be huge. Wouldn’t the investments alone and manpower needed be worth it for Ukraine. It’s not really likely that Ukraine will be able to finance this extraction themselves?

All this assumptions rely on how I understand this deal to be structured, but I really don’t know how this works.

Love it!!

This administration is like mafia. They know that nothing bad will ever happen to them, as long as they don’t confess to anything.

I hope they are. After all the sanctions, the war, infrastructure destroyed, it still doesn’t really seem like they are feeling it.

Russia is not making advances right now. It has hardly taken any significant land in the last year. At significant cost both in lives and material.

Ukraine has received 30 year old weapons headed for expensive decommission. Americans counted those like they are new.

Us and America have barely increased their defense budgets. Russia is in full war economy and barely making any progress.

Russia can lose. It has lost in the past. Every country can lose and did. The notion that this autocratic corrupt country without any real economy, any real local product besides fossil fuels cannot lose is bizarre and totally insane. They cant even build their own modern army, because it relies too much on parts from the west.

You are very disingenuous with your comments. So I will end it here. I suspect you might be some kind of troll or tankie.

True, we would be talking of a third invasion. Depends if you count paramilitary units that invaded Donbass after the occupation of Crimea. In that case it would be the fourth invasion.

That’s a very stupid premise. You think Ukraine should surrender now only to be surely destroyed later. You think that is preferable to fighting for their freedom.

I don’t know what kind of coward thinks in such terms. No offense.

…till the eventual next invasion against which Ukraine will have no ability to defend itself from because of the concessions.

Fact: Russia is not making advances every day.

Fact: Ukraine has not received extraordinary support. It has received old US weapons headed for the dumpsters and even these reluctantly. It has received less artillery ammo than Russia got from North Korea.

Fact: this level of support is easy to maintain and increase as US has sold far more weapons in this time to various countries, than has donated to Ukraine.
