How is Russia not Financially Crippled?
  • It would be funny if, for example, Iran did not fulfill/deceived its obligations, as RuSSia did with the West and, in my opinion, one day even with Iran itself.

    But these countries may also be terrorist states, like RuSSia, but they probably still have a “credit of trust”, unlike unreliable RuSSia

  • By the way, the RuSSians thought that if they could no longer fly to vacation in Europe or the USA, they would be able to vacation in Dubai, but after they bought tickets for the return trip, they could not even (there was news recently) return to RuSSia by plane, because the plane (RuSSian plane) broke down and they, as always, were “stuck” at the airport for several hours, ha-ha

  • Pootin also launders oil money offshore, so... all means are good for him.

    And yet, he is a “former” KGB officer, a bandit from St. Petersburg who has been involved in dubious schemes since the 90s, so what else could you expect from him...

  • How is Russia not Financially Crippled?
  • I can only say from the point of view of sanctions why.

    Yes, many normal companies have left RuSSia (unlike, for example, Nestle, Kellogg's, Mondelez, German Storck, Perfetti Van Melle, Ferrero, P&G and Colgate, which make their products in China, lol), yes, sanctions will put more and more pressure on the RuSSian "economy" over time...

    BUT, the sanctions, in my opinion, are “soft” compared to those that the United States, Europe and their partners have imposed on North Korea, Syria and Iran.

    I am sure that no one (if we talk about consumer goods at least) from European or American companies can EVEN trade in such third world countries as Iran (with their terrorist government), Syria or North Korea (the last two are also terrorist states). That is, I think, even Nestle, which is hated throughout Reddit, cannot legally trade there, but if you look, every “dirty” and unethical transnational corporation trades with/sells their goods in RuSSia.

  • The neo-Nazi Pootin believed in RuSSian power so much that he ordered the mafia from the Central Bank of the country to once again artificially “freeze” the ruble from falling so that the RuSSian economy would not collapse, HA. Unfortunately, it was a joke.

  • Google pulls Binance, other global crypto apps from India store
  • India going to dictatorship like RuSSia when it comes to financial services, Forex brokers, cryptocurrency exchanges, payment systems, P2P's etc., "nice".

    There is many services that have license in offshores, so I think Indians will be fine.

  • How will I find financial stability if I live in a third world country with a toxic sociopathic/narcissistic mother, I have no skills (at least I think so), no time and therefore no money?

    I would like to add a description (details), but it would be a very long text.

    In short: I have depression, multiple chronic illnesses, C-PTSD, ADHD (btw, I could treat it with Adderall/Adderall XL, but there all drugs are banned, even for medical purposes), no money to rent on my own, poor physical and mental health, some basic things I don't have money for, I don't have a computer and it seems that my laptop will soon broken...

    I can’t go to a psychologist because... the quality of education and medicine in this country is terrible, and it’s dangerous to say "everything" here, my mother recently worked, but now she’s left without work and starts doing some kind of crap, she was the one who brought in the income until this time; she feeds me fast food. In this country everyone doesn't give a sh*t about each other, I am surrounded by “broken” people, this is a country full of cynics, sociopaths, and narcissists (consider mentally ill... and genetically defective, apparently).

    Like this... I am spoiled, my life and my future are spoiled.

    Why did Adobe open source Magento?

    ...despite the fact that, for example, Flash was proprietary and they, especially now, provide all their products by subscription?

    Can Lemmy instances make content of their sub-Lemmys indexable by search engines?

    I don’t have my own instance or server, so I don’t know, but it would be interesting to know.

    The library of Anonymous' hacked/leaked datasets is in danger of being closed

    The administrators of the DDoSecrets website write that they have run out of money for funding. If they don't raise $150,000 by January 31, 2024, they might be forced to suspend operations. This is written on the red banner that appears when you go to the site.

    Info: Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) is a journalist 501(c)(3) non-profit publishing and archiving leaks, and devoted to the free transmission of data in the public interest.

    In more detail (from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Denial_of_Secrets):

    Distributed Denial of Secrets, abbreviated DDoSecrets, is a non-profit whistleblower site founded in 2018 for news leaks. The site is a frequent source for other news outlets and has worked on investigations including Cyprus Confidential with other media organizations. In December 2023, the organization said it had published over 100 million files from 59 countries.

    Sometimes referred to as a successor to WikiLeaks, it came to international attention for its June 2020 publication of internal police documents, known as BlueLeaks. The group has also published data on Russian oligarchs, fascist groups, shell companies, tax havens and banking in the Cayman Islands, as well as data scraped from Parler in January 2021 and from the February 2021 Gab leak. The group is also known for publishing emails from military officials, City Hall in Chicago and the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.

    The site's leaks have resulted in or contributed to multiple government investigations, including the second impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. During the Russo-Ukrainian War, they were considered one of the best public repositories of all the Russian files leaked since the invasion began.
