Here's another article about Ukraine using Clearview's AI software for face recognition. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same service implemented in the app.
The Clearview founder said his startup had more than 2 billion images
from the Russian social media service VKontakte at its disposal, out
of a database of over 10 billion photos total. -

But it's concours de machines - it's a contest of overengineering and I love it

The production level of these is good. Ukrainians are killing it on social media

Yep, I'd ship it with tracking number and stuff.

Saddle with extras -> €130
Grips -> €40 -
I believe it's just Russians themselves. We can speculate all we want but Russia kept on bullying and annexing neighbouring countries for decades - Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea of Ukraine... and now bit on something it can't chew.

3 years in, still loving this bike.
Thinking of cargo fork / dynamo hub / mini rack update but I'll do so if I feel so after I reach 20k km on this one.

In the end it's always average people who suffer the most.

Not sure how strict the ban is - I have some Russian friends back from Erasmus days who live in Russia and keep sharing their life just as they used to. Using a VPN to post some selfies from a road trip is one thing but your profile is out there on the internet but I guess if they don't post or comment anything "special operation" related, they're safe.
There definitely is a bunch of bots forming the public opinion via social media, though.
I'm quite happy with this recent thing going on with Finland asking Russians to sign some papers, condemning the war, otherwise they're not getting in.
I dream of going to an extreme of this narrative and not allowing any entry to any Russian citizen who want to enter the EU (unless you're fleeing for good).
It's beyond my understanding how can a person go shopping to Europe while their country is slaughtering civilians in a neighbouring country and on their TV any country in the west is portrayed as an absolute evil. Why come here then?

Some official, quality content.

Oh yeah, there's an entire fund for that.
In the recital of the sanction decision, Office of Foreign Assets
Control labled RDIF as a slush fund for Vladimir Putin and as
emblematic of Russia’s broader kleptocracy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Direct_Investment_Fund

I regularly donate to an NGO that helps supply people in the front, sometimes they announce that a squad we helped "liquidated" this or that which is already surreal but this is on another level. Great idea to raise funds nonetheless.
In other news - a very sad footage from some russian hospital. Soldier without arms receives a medal. Comrades cheer. Of course there's vodka involved.
Goes into the same category with this video in which parents of a dead soldier bought a Lada from the compensation money they've received. Surreal. youtube

If it was bought recently you might get offered a replacement or a 40% of what you paid for them voucher.

The girl had a down syndrome and the mom was kind of an influencer mom on social media or something, maybe that's how the girl ended up in a video with mrs. Zelenska.
I hope the arming of Ukraine never stops. I also hope civilised world doesn't continue any business with Russia. They need to be cut off from the civilised world and the goods that the evil west and capitalism created.
Of course it's bad enough to be born in Russia already but I hope our politicians can grow a pair and make their lives even worse like declaring everyone who has any ties with the government persona non grata or something so they can't simply come to sunbath near lake Como while still talking trash about the evil west.

You think it was done by the good Russians?
I've read opinions that it was the work of FSB to fuel even more hatred towards Ukraine and to move forward with the war. Just like they did with Chechnya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_apartment_bombings)
Dugin laid the foundation of the way Russia sees the world today but it's not like he was an actual threat.
