Ponzi scheme with some confusing mathematics to make it appear legitimate.

It's not really suddenly. They've been trying to help Russia from the beginning. The attack by Hamas on Israel was very fortunate for Russia, since the republicans have been able to conflate the two so now the funding is stuck in limbo, funding Israel doesn't need for their genocide as it happens. Completely coincidentally Iran, who likely helped get arms to Hama's is a great friend of Russia. Israel being strangely myopic about that attack when they normally have eyes on everything is also very fortunate for Russia. It seems too elaborate for Russia to have orchestrated this in any way, but Putin has proven to be a conniving cunt in the past.

They are revelling in the future time when the great Chinese people are set free on the internet by their benevolent masters the CCP to come bully the west's twitterati... The irony of them banning me for picking on them, mental.

These groups very much have the same vibe as the trumpy incel fascist groups that were everywhere a few years ago. Which could be down to both being in a large part pushed by Russia's propaganda machine. The shitty memes, the pseudo intellectual bullshit justifing why authoritarian fascism is the moral approach in life. Fucking shills, bootlickers and underdeveloped teenage minds ...

So why does Israel keep putting them in prison and kill them en masse

Totally, if you want to profit gauge from the population, that's you're thing. These executives worked hard getting into the privileged position they're in, they should be allowed to take advantage of it. People are just whiny right?

Maybe Russia could help the climate by not blowing up lots of stuff in Ukraine

That said, why freeze those assets and not just take them, giving them to developing countries as part of a climate change package would be fine as long as it incurs no future legal obligation to Russia. Although, loans sharks just break your legs if you don't pay, they don't generally follow legal definitions.

This is the thing, I think desktop Linux has everything I need and the edges cases I can script. I find most tools much more useful to use on the cli. Web stuff is usually provided via a browser and some sort of application running within the browser.

The only thing Id prefer a UI for is image/video editing, and while the tools for Linux for these usually aren't as pretty, they are usually more functional.

If I can't change some software when I need too, this annoys me, which is why I use Linux. Slick apps with pretty UI and really well defined UX while nice, are normally very restrictive by design...

Most people who don't care about the level of functionality and customisation I'm thinking of, normally don't venture beyond the web anyway, so having mint and an up to date browser is likely a nicer experience for them than other OSes.

Or they're using a phone, which to be fair does currently need work with Linux...

Prepare for the horror and condemnation in the future when there is a solidarity car or suicide bomb in Israel from America and the UK et al. Why would these evil terrorists do such things

Bit of creative accounting. Blame shoplifters. Boom! Tax free profits.
