Love the product, but this deck... jeez. It's like all this companies that claim that you're in the family and then this family ask you to leave. I've seen too much places with "culture" when in reality it's a toxic as hell.
Well, i guess then you can read my entire comment.
From european side of the world it's obvious that lizard people did their best with cameras..
It's a common mistake comparing Ukraine situation with Belarus. In Belarus we don't fight between pro-EU or pro-Russia. We have deep connections with Russia. Everyone speaks russian language.

Our fight is about basic human rights. It's about nation-wide abuse. Everyone in Belarus feel like they being raped and tortured and now the rapist is saying to us - "hey it's your fault that you was raped". A 16-years old boy who was tortured by the police(and it's not a figure of speech https://www.voiceofbelarus.com/how-to-save-timur/) and who was in coma — arrested again.

If your question about the violence from the people - i don't believe it will happen, because this is exactly what Lukashenko wants. He sold us to Russia. We have so-called Union state with Russia where Putin have legal right to move here his troops if people will turn peaceful protests to the so-called Maidan.

Without Russia, Belarus would be free already.

For the people in Lukashenko closest circle it's really a «death fight». For the police forces - in most cases they are really simpleminded and brainwashed with propaganda. They also have a lot of perks like free homes and good salaries. (i'm from belarus)
I even saw somewhere an article on topic "how to make money duplicating books for Kindle". Was presented like it's something legitimate.

My 5 cents - reading a books on CS topics requires a lot of notes making and working with this notes on kidnle is the worst.

yeah i'm from Belarus, so i know everything about borders and also pandemic-related visiting troubles. currently in Vilnius on almost expired residence permit
And it's naive to say that there's no borders. You have to be qualified for the visa requirements. You also have to renew this visa every year or so. You have to start all over. Of course everything is possible with some effort and money, but i'm tired of seeing this term "no borders for it engineers".

I use "Saved Messages" in Telegram for this purpose. Very handy because you can forward messages from other users or channels.

I used to work for a big ad-tech company(the company is sold and closed now). I was a guy who developed a tool with this functionality. As a publisher, you can add a text with a link(plus tracking code) to every copied peace of text from your webpage. Something like: "Read more at: https://example.com/my-article/#<tracking_code>"

It's not about copyright. As a website owner, you can disable this behavior, but by default, it was enabled. The main purpose of this functionality was to track shares(for example if you copy text and send it to your friend in skype). As i remember it was one of the most popular & important features in the whole toolkit.

In a nutshell, it's about 200 lines of battle-tested javascript-code that worked perfectly fine in almost any browser(dunno about now it was around 3 years ago).

Personally, i hate this behavior.
