  • Your first link:

    42 million user IDs and phone numbers for a third-party version of Telegram were exposed online without a password. The accounts belong to users in Iran, where the official Telegram app is blocked.

    How is that a state exploit of Telegram? It’s not even about Telegram. It’s a third party app.


  • They would gain more by cooperation or ignoring.

    It’s just that you can’t do that when the other party is actively destructive.

    Doesn’t make it a gain in my eyes. Labeling it a gain at least requires a contextualized qualification. So saying the EU is interested in prolonging the conflict is very disingenuous.

    EU would have far more to gain ffrom Russia leaving Ukraine. Saying the EU wants to prolong the conflict for gains is disingenuous, at least misleading or ambiguous.




  • Any recommendation or advice you will get here will only be from a very limited view, from what you shared, and impersonal, as we can’t know many things about you, your personality, and your life and life circumstances.

    You say you have a decent job, and you consider focusing on that. Which seems like a good and split idea to me.

    You tried more than once to get back into it and finish it, but failed, so that doesn’t seem viable. It’d at least need a break, but if you have the alternative, and good prospects in job etc, then I don’t see why you should have to or would try to force what evidently doesn’t work out at the moment.

    Surely you got some things out of your studies already, and job experience counts just as much as studies. You have a job, and surely provide value there, so they depend on you to a degree. It’s not like you’ll be lost.

    When it is “okay” to drop out is entirely subjective. As a broad answer to a broad question: it’s always okay. Sometimes people notice it’s not what they were looking for, or doesn’t fit them. Unless there is reasons to follow through, it’s better to cut losses and focus on something more fitting.






  • A domain registrar rents domains to individuals (including companies as individuals). At least for the common standard registrars/top-level-domains the rented domain is owned with a guarantee of being able to extend it.

    Like with any possession, how it is sold depends the owner.

    Where did you find it and where would you “press add to cart”? If it’s a trustworthy platform, the following process depends on them, but for such a high cost I would expect a manual contracted process instead of an automated one.

    For me this platform is a source of information and different perspectives as well as a platform for discussion and interaction.

    An outside observer is not in my situation. If they deem it awful without considering my situation they’re at least not sympathetic and open minded.


  • There’s three ways to diminish irritation:

    • acceptance
    • working through it
    • putting it aside

    If it’s still with you, and to the point it bothers you that much that you post here, any approach is a practice and requires repetition. It won’t disappear immediately. The goal is to transform your thought succession, your automatic responses and thoughts.

    Working through it would be considering alternative views on the situation, affirming yourself in the situation, etc

    Acceptance doesn’t have to be appreciation. Acceptance that it happened, that it went as it did, it is what it is. You are past it now.

    Putting it aside, preferably in a good-willing way, is noticing the thought arises, and putting it aside - if necessary with thoughts or with a affirmation of “I have thought about this, enough, I have handled this, it was what it was, but is not relevant now”.
