there is no "enormous nazi problem in ukraine", that is literally russian propaganda. there is much larger nazi problem in russia in fact, from existence of radical far-right groups all the way up to concentration camps for gays in Chechnya. i suggest you re-evaluate your sources.

russian invasion can't be called anything other than fascist - military glorious leader annexing a chunk of neighbour's territory under justification that people there are compatriots that need saving. you can't make that shit up.

If CNN participated in a blatant propaganda - i would want to hold them accountable. I don't believe they did during Iraq war, primarily because CNN is not government owned media and they don't know what is true or not. You can blame them for not verifying stories (and there should be responsibility for that as well), but RT absolutely knows what things they report are propaganda lies and what aren't.

doesn't make your take any more credible

it makes my awareness of the situation on the ground stronger

1) support censorship

of enemy's propaganda vehicle. wonder why would you omit that little fact. getting paid to do so?

2) don't care to verify stories

you lying sack of shit.

3) are under the impression that being Ukrainian makes your take automatically truthful

you lying sack of shit.

Zelensky was talking about an attack that happened within hours of his message, can't blame him for fog of war. And he didn't call for violence but for response from international community, which frankly he has every right to do when fascist invaders are taking over major nuclear power plants in your country, don't you think?

You seriously bringing up that example in contrast to russian propaganda machine weaponising a completely fabricated story about crucified boy, with intention of evoking deep emotional response and getting separatists to start fighting?

RT reported about ukrainian army crucifying a child in Donbas in 2014 which literally caused some people in Russia to volunteer as fighters and cross the border with intention to kill ukrainians.

No, RT should be banned and every person working for it should be jailed for life.

Freedom of speech is not freedom of inciting violence and hatred.

Edit: here, educate yourself - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucified_boy

version numbers are never immutable. they are arbitrary labels that are created by some centralized authority and can be changed by that same authority.

artifacts being removed is much less of a problem as artifacts being spoofed with malicious content.

yeah, well, i stopped reading when i saw that "GOOD" example. it's not. and that isn't a "side point", that's the most critical point for preserving security and reproducibility of builds.

    # GOOD:

nothing "good" about it, literally no different from ":latest".

only full hash reference.
