I think we have a different view of spying, this can also be Russians just want a prisoner swap.

All intelligence services have people working for them undercover, you can be hired by or talked into doing x and y by an some intelligence service, you can also be asked to share information with them. They can even help you getting in contact with the right people to make what ever you’re trying to do easier.

You can say that a journalist will publish it findings, but also the journalist can do a lot of other things. I mean I can think of multiple things that the CIA would be interested in that is not necessarily related to the journalistic job. Like recruiting a spy inside Wagner, milking information that is a secret: locations, personnel or arsenal. It can also be a damageing story, Russias official stance is that Wagner is not controlled by the state.

Is he a spy? Does he become a spy if he is spying?

Anyways we don’t know, Russia maybe just wants s prisoner swap, and maybe this journalist was digging in places that he shouldn’t have. We arrest Russian and Chinese spies all the time, some of them are working as journalists.

The whole issue is your “if”, basically you don’t know, and you are just guessing. Out of curiosity how do define a spy?

Yeah I agree, it’s impossible to know if he’s a spy or not. He might even not know he had shared intresset with other agencies, someone might have led him closer to Wagner than he initially intended.

But he does raise a lot of questions for the Russian it intelligence.

Do you actually think that intelligence agencies are only in contact with one guy? Why wouldn’t the CIA be interested in a reporter traveling to Russia to do a story about Wagner?

Sure you can, but if your friend does it, work, school, parents etc etc… You are going to end up online without knowing.

Yeah the legalise happens to be in the back pocket of sundar pichai. ???

Look at my other comment, and stop saying that I like windows I don’t. But i live in reality unlike you

I don’t know how to tell you, but these benchmarks doesn’t say anything if there’s not any technical discussion. Sometimes yes games run better on linux, and the reasons are not that linux is faster. It has to do with mainly two reasons, dx10 or dx11 might cause bottleneck that is resolved by the translation layer in vk3d, for games that have that issue. Second all the features of dx is not supported, you might think that the game looks ok in linux while it looks and feels different on windows. You might have shadows or lightning that is rendered differently, you put your graphics settings on ultra and on windows that might include hdr and linux it doesn’t exist. So of course the games run faster if it doesn’t have to do the same work. The game literally runs through a translation layer, it’s not fucking magic.

You think a youtube video or some fucking idiot at Forbes is going to convince me.

This is a benchmark that you can trust. https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia2022-windows11-linux

What did I get, random blog with the most basic Comparison? The title of the blog is which OS is the best, yeah I expect a lot of high level Quality from an article like that.

Where talking about gaming on the os, not the os itself.

You send some shit article, like wtf is that all you have?

Yes I have a hard time finding benchmarks where the game runs faster on linux, are you going to find some blog post again?

I’m not a windows user, I would be considered more of a power user, because I use it professionally and at home, both handling servers and software development. Don’t get me wrong I hate windows user interface more then anything. But I’m not in denial, windows kernel is a very good kernel for gaming, it has a lot of features that doesn’t exist yet. Where do you think the kernel devs for linux take their inspiration from, my god they are adding stuff like windows NT thread primitives to the linux kernel.

First of all, you’re just making up stuff, you have no idea what the code base of the Microsoft kernel looks like. Second, who do you think develops the linux kernel, a lot of them are Microsoft engineers, most linux kernel devs nowadays are hired by big tech companies, because they all have a stake in linux, it’s one of the main reasons why linux is evolving so rapidly.

Third looking from the outside the Microsoft kernel is pretty amazing for what it does, backwards compatible, you can still run windows 98 software on windows 11, it’s fast and efficient, you have yet to prove that it’s slower than linux.

Bro no large or medium sized government entities are using anything else, even if they do, it’s for a little while and then they go back. You know why? Microsoft office, exchange, outlook, there is no other good alternative, good lucking telling their employees that they are going to learn libre office and linux. They can’t even handle windows properly.

Most if them have already spent years building their infrastructure around windows and Microsoft office suite, and they are not changing anytime soon.

The bloatware is not the point!! I am talking about the kernel!

Show me the benchmarks, stop changing topic.

Bloat is in the form av pre installed software and services that can be turned of, Windows is not slow or resource hungry.

You’re the one contradicting yourself when you’re saying that linux requires a Translation layer. And the translations are not always 1:1. Please show me the benchmarks.

How is it a contradiction, theres bloat software installed on windows, which can be disabled? Ubuntu to me is also bloated but that doesn’t mean that the OS is slow.

Yes they can be disabled, do you think governmental entities would run windows without being able to disable a lot of the features?

I haven’t given you a ultimatum I gave you a question, and you can answer it anyway you want. Do or can pedophiles feel remorse for their victims? Are there pedophiles who feel remorse for their victims but still abuse children?

But let me say this again, pedophiles have no remorse towards their victims, they get turned on by it, I’m trying to tell you it’s not a just a sexual desire. They like the abuse part of it, abusing some one helpless, that is why they are turned on by abusing children.

Bro I can’t continue this, you’re not willing to understand it’s not about the kid, it is about abusing the kid, that is what they want. And if you can’t rigster that it’s not just a sexual desire, then we can agree to disagree.

I understand what you’re saying, but that doesn’t have to be true. Many of the games are made to be run on windows, windows is still a effecient os, it’s just a lot of bloat, which can be disabled. Also a lot of optimizations in nt has been done for gaming, features which are missing in the linux kernel, but there are RFCs to add nt like synchronization primitives, in the linux kernel.

No because its two consenting adults otherwise its illegal. Wtf is vore art, not going to google that. How do you know it’s victimless. Like I said they are turned on by abusing minors, and don’t know how else I can put it, I can’t be more clear.

Let me ask you this, do you think pedophiles care about their victims? If yes, then I want to hear why you think that. If no, why are we even having this argument?
