Mordor President Vladimir Putin declared the inadmissibility of the situation when people do not have enough money for even basic food like it was the case in USSR.
According to statistics from 20 to 25 millions of hard working Mordor slaves have trouble finding money even for worst quality basic good.
It is just one problem with this lie, in USSR it was no working people who had no money for food, zero.
Statement had been made right after new big price hikes had been announced for meat, milk, tomatoes and apples.
Meat and milk prices are rising fast as export to China soared 3 times, Morodor exchange real stuff to various debt instruments (that they don't have right to turn into any real goods), management and top guys get special bribes and return from Chinese.
Tomatoes and apples prices are expected to double in next two months as local manufacturers finally paid for new 4th round of sanctions preventing most of the imports (around 80% of world tomatoes and apple manufacturers can't import them in Mordor now).
Sweet capitalism.
Rumors started to spread that China can establish sea blockade and no fly zone over the Taiwan and it can happen very suddenly.
Best moment can be mess that will start during late December and early January in US due to presidential uncertainty and continues fight.
China will publish open plan about Taiwan integration within 3 month period and propose it as ultimatum.
Taiwan also is very worried about pro continental Chinese groups that can attack the core Taiwan industries like chips production.
As it is clear that almost none of chips, GPUs, boards or notebooks manufacturers will make it alive and unharmed.
Had short talk with guy who is responsible for placing ads on many big sites.
Thing with modern ads is that they are extremely annoying, it is lot of them and they are extremely inefficient. But they also kill the content. Why it is so?
Even at the start and prior the age of ad blockers every site around made negative selection, as it was the lowest quality and dumbest part of their visitors who click on most ads, so they gradually adjusted. As it is not too large part and site want good money - they placed more and more ads. And the more ads you place - they smallest is the cluster of dumbest guys.
All sites also adjusted content accordingly. If you get cameras and lenses review sites - all their reviews are not written for you, they are written to machine called Google bot. All of articles are written according to schemes and checked to match certain SEO measurements (usually they have software for this or third party company do it with their software). Also it is very important for site to attract more matching Google ads, hence article must be written in specific manner. It is not that algorithms are becoming better, it is that humans are constantly adapting to dumb algorithms. But quality of content dropped a lot.
As ad blockers came new round of negative selection fired. Sites try to counter this with huge popups asking you to turn on ads - but they are stupid like hell. Any such popup is just indication that present model time is up, it can't be dragged along and only sides that are interested for this horror to continue are Google and big corporations, not the content creators.
The ongoing pandemic and the proliferation of NFC-enabled devices have boosted the popularity of contactless payments in brick-and-mortar stores. So, in October-November of this year, the share of mobile payment services in the total money turnover of card transactions increased to 23% against 18% a year earlier. At the same time, the share of transactions increased from 21% to 25%. In other words, now about every fourth card payment is made by Mordor slaves through a smartphone.
The leader of the contactless payment market in the Russian Federation is the Apple Pay service, but its share is significantly decreasing every year. During the period under review, 39% of transactions were made through Apple Pay, 35% through Google Pay, and 23% through Samsung Pay.
You need to understand that it is big reason we have Apple and Google deep into this, as they collect and sell and provide to the state all your information. With normal cards you need to make more work (like combine information from different card) and lot of it is legally challenging. Also having your smartphone allows company to have location, nearby Wi-Fi and more info also collected, including your eye or fingerprint.
All this information (all items your bough and extra) will be stored indefinitely, linked to all your search, activity while using smartphone and so on. Present AI systems at Google and Apple can guess that you started to use some stuff you bough, link this to your forum posts, chat messages, search requests and so on.
One ex Apple developer told me that it is few clicks of a mouse to see that boyfriend bough to girl (relations are part of AI systems, Apple products have special features for this) vibrator and see all related info that she posted after occasional usage (that Safary tracked). Few more clicks are company can listen and record all this girl do in privacy (of course this never happen with small ordinary guys, but if you are some business and politician or such guy - it will be good leverage).
Actually it is all pretty simple, this is big hierarchy feeling the danger and trying to protect themselves at all costs.
Research shows that big hierarchies (in medium to very big companies, states, etc) can behave a lot like complex living being. It can protect the integrity, resist any changes, fight for survival and for grow.
It also explains why largest modern monopolies joined the fight, as they have similar huge hierarchies and they also feel the imminent danger and want to survive and still be intact.
It it also why all of them so much defend the "COVID not originated in lab" theory. As if this will become common knowledge it become big danger for them also, because virus research is also big very closed and tight packed international hierarchy that do not want any control and do not want to be held accountable for any crimes they do. Google, Apple and Amazon also don't want to be held accountable and their managers want to live and not hang on the trees.
Pinky phrases and declarations come just from experience. Hierarchy looks back on that people liked while they had thriving hierarchies around. And makes things up, of course they will never keep promises, they only look at this like some for of marketing campaign.
Cloudflare is proposing a new DNS standard it developed with Apple that’s designed to help close a blindspot in my (and I’m sure many others’) internet privacy measures.
The protocol is called Oblivious DNS over HTTPS (ODoH), and it’s meant to help anonymize the information that’s sent before you even make it onto a website.
The protocol works by introducing a proxy server between you and the DNS server. The proxy acts as a go-between, sending your requests to the DNS server, and delivering its responses back without ever letting it know who requested the data.
Just introducing a proxy server, though, is only moving the problem up one level: if it has the request, and also knows you sent it, what keeps it from making its own log of sites you visited? That’s where the “DNS over HTTPS” (DoH) part of ODoH comes in.
Just one thing - it has nothing to do with privacy, as you can use VPN already for this.
But it has all to do with censorship of huge number of sites, as this guys will control all DNS requests.
Google will also have almost same DNS protocol implemented very soon in Chrome.
This guys now want to destroy all smaller sites they don't like.
Only Apple can charge $549 for $55 cost to manufacture headphones.
