A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's so easy to sanitize tech stories about murder weapons. Just say "Ukraine" in the title!

There's a simple answer:

"We made a lot of money under Trump. We made even more money under Biden. I think we're going to continue expanding whoever is in office next," said Luckey.

Which is why I continue to whinge about war, regardless of the topic. The military-industrial complex is a scourge on our society. Unfortunately, the appearance of a" justified" war doesn't change that fact, even if we want Ukraine to win.

There’s a simple answer:

Yeah, but it's still surprising. Most Trump diehards are pro-Russian. I almost have to respect Luckey for being driven by money above all else; at least this makes him a known quantity.

As for your other comment, I can't even begin to imagine how that stands up logically. Russia could steamroll whoever they want if we weren't armed.
