Plagiators are having a fit these days


If I remember correctly, this is the hack that Fico tried to blame on Ukraine, even if the hackers were a known Russian ransomware crew that literally posted in their Telegrams about their support for Russia... right?


fico is russian crony for a long time. On purpose he made the country very dependent on russian oil and especially gas, more than any other EU country (maybe with exception of hungary). 4 years into the war and no migration to other sources is planned so he can every winter go back to blocking things due to .

At this point he is just subverting EU on putin's whims. Stealing half of EU funds evidently wasn't enough for him, plus he can see some protection in the east, west has only future jail for him. If one country should be kicked out right now, it should be this one.

Is it? What website can you not view in Firefox today? I almost exclusively use Firefox on my computer (Safari on mobile), and can't remember the last time I encountered a website that wasn't viewable in Firefox. Even my bank, which tends to be whiny about what browser you use, works 100% in Firefox too, even with all the warnings.


I'm sorry, but that's bollocks. I browse exclusively in FF and I can't remember a single page in the last couple of years that refuses to work on it (unless it's a weird web experiment).

The trick here is that Musk doesn't depend on that compensation at all. This is just another PR trick to show that super-brain musk is here to advance the human race when he actually dgaf
