"In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically and economically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the export of natural resource."

They are so dependable on fossil fuel export that they try to sway all other nations to use fossil fuels and generate crisis on it to tie other nations closer to it's only source of power in global market. Russia has less GDP than Italy. They are not super power anymore, and every nation should try to get away from their fossil fuels.

60% of their export is fossil energy, it is a banana republic

Starting a war isn't really 11D thing, it is more like "me big army, me attack" vibe. Even the orange orangutan can figure that one out.

Russia has two exports, fossil energy and war. They know nothing else.

Putin and his party are one and the same.

This is basic dictator playbook, problems in domestic politics, start a war and problems change to foreign policy.

Putin has done this multiple times now, and Trump is following up.

I have unlocked the fourth one! It is attention, they want just you to notice them.

He definitely doesn't want the rioting to end, he is actively trying to make it bigger. What he wants to people forgetting is that Musk repeated that Trump is in the Epstein flight logs.

Yeah, Symbian really was quite a thing. It was insanely optimized for memory and battery, but was nightmare to code.

Well, the annoying part is that the burning platform talked by Elop was Maemo/Meego, which was full Linux. Without Elop and Microsoft we would have pure Linux running on phones today. Now we are stuck between two closed source OS for phones.

It was running Qt, so basically any KDE app would be portable on it quite easily.

I was working with Maemo and Qt Symbian in Nokia while this happened, and it makes me sad.

D365 ain't really even that bad. It is just model driven power platform app. It is actually quite expandable, you can code it with plain javascript or more complex components on React. Backend is OData which is quite flexible.

Old Dynamics AX and onprem CRM were shit shows.

They have $750M revenue, definitely they can spend tens of millions in advertising .

Edit: tried to also get some info how much money EBU (owner of Eurovision) does. Seems that they don't make them public any more, which is bit sus. 2021 was last that I found and they made around $400M, and "other revenue" were I assume advertisement deals are was $50M.
