It didn’t, I just wanted a short reply. Though it failed when I asked again in the same chat. But when asked to split the word to 2 parts it became sure that the correct answer is 3.

Here is the fun part

Certainly! Let’s split “strawberry” into two equal parts and count the 'r’s in each:

1. First half: “strawb”
   Letters: S, T, R, A, W, B
   'r’s: 1 (at position 3)

2. Second half: “erry”
   Letters: E, R, R, Y
   'r’s: 2 (at positions 2 and 3)

Now, summing them: 1 (first half) + 2 (second half) = 3 'r’s.

Wait, this contradicts my earlier correction. It seems I made another mistake. Let’s carefully recount:

• First half: “strawb”
  'r’s: 1 (at position 3)

• Second half: “erry”
  'r’s: 1 (only one ‘r’ at position 2; the third letter is ‘r’ but already counted in the first half).

Wait, no—this is getting confusing. Let’s re-examine the entire word:

Full word: S, T, R, A, W, B, E, R, R, Y
'r’s: Positions 3, 8, and 9 → 3 'r’s.

I apologize for the back-and-forth. The correct total is 3 'r’s in “strawberry.” Thank you for your patience as I worked through this! 😊

Gaza population was steadily increasing for all these years. This doesn’t bode well with the “prison” sentiment in my opinion. They had institutions. They could teach their own population. Their actions could be more logical. Instead it seems they’ve been spreading terrorist propaganda (literally pushing their children to become merciless terrorists) and spending resources on building offensive tech instead of defenses. I can not justify actions of Israel (though I can understand why the ground operation was started) but there is no way I can agree that actions of hamas had any logical ground.

I didn’t mean to say anything that Israel did was okay. But a lot of it is understandable, e.g. the ground operation was very well expected by everyone when it became clear the hostages are not getting released. No matter how you look at it, Gaza was not ready.

And if we consider the October attack itself, only some of it is understandable (“they couldn’t bear with oppression any longer” sentiment, which itself is problematic at best).

That didn’t worth it in my opinion. The level of international support is nowhere enough. And again, they could build defenses to decrease the number of victims.

Also the premise of “Israel is a monster” sentiment is hugely weakened by the monstrosity of the October attack itself.

a war they started.

There are chances the outcome would be different if hamas released hostages, or didn’t attack Israel on October 7th. Those things were not smart. It didn’t serve any good purpose. A smarter thing would have been to prepare for such an attack from Israel by building defenses to protect civilians at the very least.

Companies mentioned in an article you linked aren’t getting the cash flow enough to warrant any improvement in related economies. I see Russian politicians profiting off various things during war but they were doing the same before.

So, short effects of the war on economies are not worth the long term effects of deaths of many consumers anywhere. Using the “war helps economy” argument while forgetting how the deaths and active aggression affect the world and lives, is a manipulation, which is also heavily used by those aggressors (Russia).

Telling Israel is doing a genocide without mentioning what hamas were doing to Israel is also a manipulation.

Worldwide governments seem to have an interest in this war because they are doing everything to fuel it.

Bingo. This nullifies your credibility. Either you’re a troll or an idiot.

Russia holds considerable defense in depth.

I think you have no proofs. As a Russian, it’s insane to assume Russia would spend resources on keeping any meaningful defense far from borders. And from places Putin often visits, of course.

You seem to have a detailed opinion about something you hardly even used, or researched. It’s fine, you don’t have to like it and I don’t care. But I will point out mistakes.

Most people do use it for public communication only. Not in plain text. Telegram was popular even before it started circumventing anything.

Others didn’t try to circumvent much because Russian market is usually too small for any app to care. Telegram’s user base is historically huge is Russia.

If telegram or other parties can access it, is it truly encrypted?

If the website creator and others can access the content hiding behind SSL/HTTPS, is it truly encrypted? It’s similar with telegram, except they also don’t keep the raw data on servers etc.

I used telegram during all that time in Russia. It did circumvent the shit out of the RKN. I guess you used somewhat limited data to learn something from Russia.

Telegram chats are not e2e by design. There is no standard way to handle e2e in group chats, also most chats are public anyway. Chats are encrypted according to their docs. There are no unencrypted chats in telegram. It’s just that people like e2e and call anything that is not e2e “not encrypted”.

On April 16, 2018, the Russian government began blocking access to Telegram, an instant messaging service. The blocking led to interruptions in the operation of many third-party services, but practically did not affect the availability of Telegram in Russia. It was officially unblocked on June 19, 2020

Some say it was unblocked because they made a deal with Durov. Another opinion is that too many people and services including officials continued to rely on it even during the time it was blocked. Regardless, Telegram did a huge job on circumventing those blocks.

Aren’t e2e encrypted by default you mean.

That’s not an opinion. That’s the lack of it. Plus a few grams of whataboutism. You’re a victim of Russian propaganda agents.

For example? How do you do that with terrorists?

Russia’s anti-terrorism goals

You’ll say this is a quote. The fact that you rely on this very phrase is hilarious. Either Putin equals Russia for you or you accept that he is not a terrorist.
