I wish there was an option to export whole session chat, say in plaintext as a link to some pastebin, that chat I just had with groq would have some ppl I know really impressed


russian military never been in direct full scale fight with Ukrainian forces before till this morning, they have no idea where they got themselves into and what is coming to them - we will bury them all! every single one of them

Our time to fight back has come - Glory to Ukraine! Слава Україні!!!

update: dont get me wrong, true Russians are against this war, I have alot of friends in Russia and they ALL sending me messages of support - мы поможем вам стать свободными, братья!



Yeah. Also the sides are kind of unbalanced in terms of weaponry.


if sides was balanced whole thing would be over in first few hours


real reason is in Ukraine becoming strong independent democratic country which is a direct threat to kleptocratic russian regime

still far from it, but this escalation indicates Ukraine is one a right path


Ukraine strong democratic country. ahahahahahahashhah

Really man. You’re not supposed to believe in the propaganda. Only to pretend you believe.


I didnt said it is, what I've said is - becoming, there's a difference and it isnt a propaganda but my own opinion


that would be https://www.patreon.com/savelife_in_ua

(Ukrainian IT community already raised around $100k in a last few days)


How do I know that this money is going to where they say it is going? I'm happy to support it at the top level, I just want to make sure I'm not accidentally funnelling money into Russia's disinformation campaign.


Savelife service continuously publishes financial reports for all their activity. You can find that on their website. (We know that it's not user-friendly especially for English speaking users, updates will be soon). For example, this one is an income and expenses report for 2021-2022 years [1].

Indeed, some external validation would be great, from Patreon or any other organization.

The membership levels are also.. Disturbing? If I select "Projectile" membership (with a picture of a grenade missile or something) it says "You started saving lives!". All memberships are munition for weapons ("Bullet", "Projectile", "Bomb" and "Missile"), not exactly something you associate with "Saving lives".

Seems to be run by Come Back Alive Foundation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Back_Alive) but I can't actually verify that they link to the Patreon from their website (https://savelife.in.ua) as it seems to be offline right now.

Not to say it's sketchy to use Patreon for something of that importance, since Patreon has a reputation of pulling funding for organizations by now.


>The membership levels are also.. Disturbing?

Yeah, it feels strange to have these images. There are already discussions to change them in Ukrainian community because it's not really connected to what organization do.

People from Ukraine IT community don't care because they got all the information about the organization without language barriers, but this images seems to be a problem from the outside perspective as this is the first thing that people would notice.

Anyway, thank you for your feedback (I'm not from the organization, I know a few people who help there)


> All memberships are munition for weapons ("Bullet", "Projectile", "Bomb" and "Missile"), not exactly something you associate with "Saving lives".

In a simplistic view they don’t save lives, but without them what do you fight with? What keeps Russia from thinking they can just easily take over a country?


(sorry for delay, my account is for reads and I hit the limit of replays in HN, had to wait)

back in 2014 when sht hit the fan and Ukrainian army was very weak, ppl made it back strong with everything they could, donating money equipment and food, there was alot of volunteer organizations back then and these ones was one of the most well know, still operating to this day

tbh Idk how to reassure you they are true but here's their fb page with 3mln+ followers https://www.facebook.com/backandalive/

and here's the link of that IT community thing I've mentioned before https://dou.ua/forums/topic/36494/

hopefully those will provide some validation for you


Ok well that wasn't quite enough for me to believe you 100%, but it was enough for me to believe you 98% and that's enough for me to sign up for the top teir. If you're lieing to me or if someone is lieing to you, then even though I'll be dissapointed I'll forgive them or you.

I wish there was a better way of scaling trust online right now and I hope this war ends soon.

Edit: But I'm happy to believe I'm really supporting Ukraine with this donation.


I do not know any of them personally but I do trust them, as far as I remember back then they've started as one of the projects on Ukrainian crowdfunding website https://biggggidea.com/project/blagodijnij-fond-povernis-zhi...

I'm a vet of this war and few mins ago I've was called back to service and most likely I'm about to go back at war zone again pretty soon

so for me personally your support of Ukraine means a lot, thank you man


You are welcome. If you'd like to chat please let me know. I stayed for a month in Kiev and I'd apreciate talking to a hacker from the region. I'm best reached on Twitter, since my email gets so much spam.


sorry I'm a little bit busy rn, havnt sleep in 4 days, really busy being back in army, will be busy still for a while


Same. Not knowing anyone in Ukraine to validate, I am unsure.


update: better link with a map, Lithium are those light green circles https://i.imgur.com/6JU7YS5.jpeg


it's not about covid or money - its about Ukraine becoming stronger, more independent than ever from russian influence as old corrupt politicians are getting off their political power so he no longer have a leverage over Ukrainian government the way he used to have

its about the choice Ukranian ppl made in 2014 and strong independent Ukraine is a direct threat to russian kleptocracy as russain ppl might have ideas they could make this push too


that's exactly what will happened it will cost russia so much more than they could possibly imagine from just Ukraine pushing back alone


worked fine in my ff v97.0


in case you need more stats, first 7 trys

4 12 (10sec) 8 (15sec) 1 (120sec) 11 (10.91sec) 9 (13.33sec) 10 (12sec)

first try was with touchpad, rest of them with mice that 1/120 was brutforcing, there was at least 4 or 5 similar shapes with deadzones maybe there should be a way to rotate viewport manually (for some time penalty?) and bruteforcing should be time taxed as well though


wow... WOW!!!! thank you so much!! once I've switched layer to "conventional" it was like a child's dream come true
