Haha, well maybe a bit heretical considering this declares itself to be the successor to steamdeck_linux and not even just steamdeck. Guess I wouldn't worry about it too much though.

Things changing right now too since people are moving in from Twitter so more good accounts may pop up...

(obligatory mentions while posting from mastodon->lemmy: @curryandbeans @ukraine )

Wagner is the only one involved and isn't really a random mercenary group though. Prigozhin is (was) in Putin's inner circle and Wagner was a tool of the Russian government. I don't think this is all that different from a faction in the armed forces trying to stage a coup as happened during Soviet times.

Of course when nukes are fought over it is always scary anyway which is why the USA didn't really want the Soviet Union to fall apart either.

@Jaximus @YellowtoOrange @ukraine

Crazy stuff. They do say that these regimes tend to seem rock solid until they don't.

Unless this is some massive false flag at the very least this should result in some disarray for Russia and that is helpful for Ukraine...

@BombOmOm @ukraine

Thanks, this was quite informative as to what the state of things are on the Windows side.

That said, I highly dislike the idea of undermining Valve's efforts to get PC gaming less dependent on Windows so certainly will not be using any of this.

Just note that several large mastodon instances including mastodon.social have blocked bird.makeup so it unfortunately is not available everywhere (personally I find it irreplaceable)

Thanks, despite the downvotes this seems informative and helpful to dispel Russian propaganda narratives. It is not useful to deny the existence of right wing Ukrainians but it is to show us how they actually think and what they actually want.

There have been countless accounts of Russian mobiks and people drafted into LPR and DPR forces having to purchase their own gear, getting old and broken stuff etc.pretty much from the start of the war.

Then again Ukrainians are not always able to equip units well either. Donating helps.

@sexy_peach In one of Hromadske's reports from Bakhmut a drone team did quote a fairly high number for drone losses. Not sure how accurate 10k a month is but it doesn't strike me as completely unbeliveable in relation to that.

@BombOmOm I don't think they have been promised Gripens or even Hornets yet? Swedes are only training and Australia is considering giving their old Hornets

I think the Brits were training them on another fighter in RAF service too.

@Thorny_Thicket @Eqweytr Gepard can only help to a limited degree because the Russian KA-52s have ATGMs that have a significantly longer range than a Gepard.

@nivenkos Yeah that is correct I believe, still no actual release of it besides system images for Steam Deck.
