The Russian minority wasn't being genocided, and at most they could be ethnically cleansed considering Russia has it's own nuclear-armed ethnostate that's the largest in the world. Genocide is an international issue, what was not even an ethnic cleansing is a domestic issue.

Is Spotify EU? They're headquartered in Sweden, but they're listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but their largest shareholders are Swedish and British.

Also, Soundcloud probably warrants more information. In no universe would it be someone's primary option but if someone's looking for a specific song that's not in the (limited) Qobuz library then it's a decent fallback.

I really wish Qobuz would let me bookmark individual songs in my browser. That's the real sticking point for me (I use it).

If something's not on Qobuz I can just listen on Soundcloud.

It's a complicated issue to solve, and I'm not the person to solve it but the Russian state's approach has basically been in every single way wrong.

The Russian ethnic minority and it's treatment is a domestic issue. It is not a suitable pretext for Russia to invade a country, bomb schools and hospitals, and force Ukrainians into either a smaller portion of their country or to live under an ethnostate that does not represent them. Putin has naked imperial ambitions not just in Ukraine but also in Georgia.

I'm now gonna block you, as I do everyone with pro-Russia views. Because anyone that can excuse Russia's actions is not worthy of my attention.

Calling another language a "dialect" is really lame if I'm being honest. The Ukrainian and Belarusian languages descended from Rutherian, which split from Russian hundreds of years ago. After centuries of Ukraine being occupied by one foreign power after another the history is all over the place but long story short Ukrainian is as much a dialect of Russian as English is a dialect of Latin.

And as for the Ukrainian identity not being real ... if it wasn't real then Russia wouldn't be trying to erase it. Ukraine has only been part of Russia for 80 out of the last 800 years. I should not bother arguing with you, I don't know why I even bother. I'm gonna block you like I do every tankie.

Tarrifs, H1B visas, Undocumented Immigrants, basically all of the things the horrible things Trumpian union members voted for he capitulated on as soon as the business elite were mildly inconvenience.

Bet they feel real silly now.

It wasn't just Russians that lived in Donbass.

Remove YouTube Suggestions (assuming you still use the YouTube client directly).

Also, Tampermonkey, to install single-site scripts that you can customize and with more limited permissions.

Yeah, when I said that I didn't really adequately consider what would actually come of Iran being crippled. Civilian rule is not the likely outcome of Iran being defeated.

And Iran isn't as bad as Israel, I agree, but that's a pretty low bar.

You wouldn't be able to conceal the use of nukes by cutting the fiber lines.

I'm really worried. I can't even begin to imagine (or describe) what they could be planning but I am pretty confident that without a constant feed of new images of cruelty public opposition to Israel's actions will be more muted.

Australia's got a law, and I'm dreading the day I need to give Google more information in order to keep using YouTube. Certain YouTube channels are really important to me.
