USSR never did anything good for Baltics - it created non-efficient factories and sent a lot of Russians to work there, while prosecuted most of the local pre-war elites.
In late 80s no one in USSR wanted to choose stuff from Latvia over imported goods.
When USSR collapsed Latvia got a lot of non-efficient factories with dated equipment and had to close them and also masses of Russian factory workers who where very hostile to new Baltic states.
Not really. Business applications were key to computers success in USA.
First really widely used microprocessor had zero connections to the military.
USSR copied OS/360 not because of military's requests, but because it lacked computers for civil applications and lacked software for it. OS/360 was never a military project in USA.
BK wasn't in mass production until 1986, Agat until 1985.
In 1986 very few schools had any computers, that's why USSR started to buy MSX computers - there were a lot of problems with local mass production.
??? Do you even have the first idea what you’re talking about? The other “option” was Batista. And Cuba is more democratic than the US, but it doesn’t allow oligarchs to astroturf consent like in liberal democracies.
There are always a lot of options if you don't have marxists around :)
Cuba was just a Soviet Union's project to burn enough money to show that socialism
works. But it didn't. And I very unhappy that we were living so poor in soviet era while paying those "democracies" which were modeled just like our country - with literally no choice on any elections.
You can stop using social media or use some specific social media with zero monitoring by state (mastodon?), but it was almost impossible to escape from DDR.
And you can't compare liberalism with real threat to your life from being tortured in soviet psychiatric hospitals. In fact to have almost zero chance to get such treatment even if you'll post thousands of posts like this about liberalism per day.
Servers MUST use TLS version 1.2 or higher and SHOULD use TLS version 1.3 or higher. TLS 1.2 is reluctantly permitted for now to avoid drastically reducing the range of available implementation libraries. Hopefully TLS 1.3 or higher can be specced in the near future. Clients who wish to be "ahead of the curve MAY refuse to connect to servers using TLS version 1.2 or lower.
And clients that want to test against the Gemini Client Torture Test [1] MUST use TLS 1.2 as the server there only supports up to TLS 1.2 (due to said library limitation).
Lukashenko announced many times that Belarus is an "IT-country". And now without Internet access (TCP/UDP are almost completely filtered on DPI, even SMS from abroad stopped working several hours ago) those words are just a bad joke to me :(
