Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Imagine Google just goes completely rampage mode and buys a fuck ton of drones and these Robot-Dogs with guns attached and lays fucking waste to Russia. This would be such an Deus ex machina to end this war.

So what does this mean for any existing business they do in Russia? I’m thinking mainly android / play store and things like YouTube?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

They stopped any business in Russia in 2022 acvording to the article.

Guessing consumer products are still working though. Would like to know as well!

And was there somebody representing Google in the court? I doubt it.

They must have taken into account the future inflation rates when they expect to receive the payment..

I might expect this kind of pissantry from North Korea, but Russia?

You'd think Mr. Google would just have a little accident out an 8th floor window.

That's in Ruzzian Rubles, in the civilized world we refer to that as: two flat stones.

I play a lot of deadlock lately and i wish it was worse.

Is that in USD or in rubles?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Since everyone is just giving you joke answers, it appears to be USD.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I mean, I was mostly making a joke myself, the conversion rate is what 1 usd to 97 rubles?

While an entire order of magnitude is insane- especially at that large a number, the difference isn’t really meaningful.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Robux since that's more valuable than the Russian ruble

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Do you think they accept Linden Dollars?

"The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week. Owing to compound interest..."

Let's try one of their favorite retorts. No, u!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Russian government is near collapse if this shit is true. What a fucking pathetic joke they all are over there.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago
