What didn't you like about it when you tried it?

I like it because it's pretty, stays out of my way, and mostly "just works" out of the box. KDE seems to encourage the user to configure everything to their liking, but I hate configuring stuff.

What air defense doing?

Also, great top comment:

Lebanon has the right to defend itself

Iraq, Jordan, and Rwanda have withdrawn their signatures from the Ukraine "peace" summit joint communique.

Sorry about the source. There's no good article about all three yet, but it seems to be real.

Final map of countries that signed the joint communique at the Ukraine "peace" summit. Pretty much just with a sprinkling of a few extra countries.

Heh, doesn't Yemen's blockade hurt Egypt most?

If Trump gets elected, he should pardon Hunter as a power move.

Ramzan Kadyrov:

Friends! Soldiers of the "AKHMAT-Chechnya" regiment of the RF Ministry of Defense under the command of dear BROTHER Aslambek Saliev, together with military personnel of other Russian units, carried out tactical actions and liberated another populated area from the enemy. This is the village of Ryzhevka, which is located on the border with the Kursk region. ⠀ As a result of large-scale planned offensive actions, the Ukrainian side suffered significant losses and was forced to retreat. The coordinated and effective work of fighters from all units made it possible to achieve this result without any difficulties in just three days.

I sincerely thank every soldier who participated in the assault and liberation of the village. I am convinced that the same ending awaits other territories that are temporarily under the yoke of Ukrainian-fascist and NATO formations.

NOTE: It is from this village that constant shelling of the village of Tetkino in Russia was taking place. Russia is creating sanitary zone as anounced and ordered by President Putin.

Apparently the entire Black Sea Fleet left Novorossiysk.

At least some of them headed toward Crimea.

Remember, Nothing Ever Happens, so don't get too excited.

"Low-level delegation" according to the mapper

Blue = attending, Red = not attending, White = undecided

True, but I guarantee we will get there eventually if Ukraine doesn't collapse first.

It's clear by now that there are no red lines aside from obvious acts of war by uniformed NATO troops.

Not sure what Putin is thinking, because it's very bad when your enemies know they can walk all over you with no repercussions.

The (pro-Russia) Military Summary channel says that Russia may be preparing to accept large numbers of volunteers/mercenaries from Afghanistan to fight in Ukraine.

They also suggest that Russia is checking in with its allies in the CSTO to see if they would join the war should the defense pact be triggered.

"If investigations show an Islamist motive behind the attack, that would be yet another confirmation of the great danger posed by Islamist violence, which we have been warning about," Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said in a statement.
