    See, this is why I was saying that the fediverse needs a centralized hub of organization. It would be like a wiki meets the white pages. Although I’m unclear if that concept is so outdated that it doesn’t track anymore.

    But basically you think “hey, I wonder if there a such-n-such in the fediverse…”

    So you go to thefediverse.com, and in addition to being an explaination of what the fediverse is, and does, it also serves as a wiki based directory for all services within the fediverse. With the appropriate links.

    Now, me personally, I have no idea what podchaser is. I assume a podcast service of some sort. But if we had this gateway site, you’d just go there, and find (hypothetical example) fedipodchaser. Or whatever the real one would be called.

    And in it’s wiki would say “Fedipodchaser is a podcast service similiar to podchaser”. And because it’s wiki says podchaser in the descriptiom, it allows you to easily find it in a search. So without having to ask anybody if it exists, you find out in one step.

    So to answer your innitial question…I don’t know.

    Well. Right now, putin is in an unwinable war. He CAN’T win given his lack of superior quality war machines and materials. His lack of combat experienced military personel, and his lack of air defenses. They’re losing literal thousands of personel (mostly soldiers) every single day.

    If putin loses, he dies. He will be forcefully removed from his position and executed. He knows this. The united states knows this. Everybody in the situation knows this. Which is why for a very long time, nobody would allow Ukraine to use their weapons deep into russia in an effort to curb escalation. Because back against the wall, with no other possibility for winning the war, putin is going to eventually use nukes. He’s going to use nukes when it’s a situation of “fuck it, I’m going to die anyways. Nuke em.”

    And as each day passes, russia gets further and further into a state of permanent national destability. This war is going to harm them for generations. Even before the war, they hadn’t replenished their population to pre-WWII levels. This is on-par with that. That should give you an idea of how badly this is going to damage their next 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of young men all dead. And eventually, russia will run out of men to send to the war. That’s when putin pushes the button. He’s going to nuke Ukraine. Probably Kiev. And it will happen before this war is over. Unlike hitler just killing himself and his wife, putin is going to try to take everybody down with him. Because that’s how big his ego is.

    Only question is…does he ONLY fire at Kiev? Does he just go balls out and nuke everybody instead? Scorched earth kind of thing.

    Only time will tell. If we live to tell the tale.
