I'm sorry, but your presentation of information is a little confused, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.
What are you talking about? What guy? What conspiracy theory?
After the collapse of the Soviet Union there was the question of the distribution of nuclear weapons. Naturally the rest of the world did not want nuclear weapons to be divided among the 4 countries that had collapsed. It seems obvious to me that the more nuclear powers there are, the more likely it is that something could go wrong in the world.
That's why everybody wanted the newly created Russian Federation to keep the nuclear weapons, so the Budapest Memorandum was signed. The treaty implies not only transfer of nuclear weapons to Russia but also non-development of new nuclear weapons. In response, the U.S., Britain and Russia undertook obligations to respect the independence, sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine and to refrain from threats or use of force and economic pressure, and in case of any threats to Ukraine using nuclear weapons - to demand immediate action from the UN Security Council.
In fact this very part was violated by Russia first in 2014 and then in 2022, which means that technically Ukraine can develop nuclear weapons as Zelensky stated just before the full-scale invasion in 2022, And this very quote by Zelensky was used by Putin as one of the Casus belli for the invasion of Ukraine
This is not a conspiracy theory, these are facts.
Again. What latest developments with Wagner group?
Try to understand please, we are in a daily stream of news about the DNR-LNR, Bakhmut, Wagner, Prigozhin, Shaigu, Solovyov and his gulagunet, Strelkov-Girken and recently here's Prigozhin having a new skirmish with Gen. Sobolev, or new attacks in Ukraine, and Russian soldiers fleeing, and there are attacks even on Russia. And Prigozhin is trying to make a point about every single one of these things. And at the same time you pull out any one news item about Prigozhin and talk as if you all know what it's about. There the news gets so passionate, it's worse than a Spanish soap opera. There are literally a bunch of news items on Prigozhin and Wagner every day. At least tell us the point more or less to understand what you are talking about.
On China it could be, China is constantly trying to turn events to its advantage, which is understandable. But speaking of the future we start to put a crystal ball on the table, I would prefer not to do that.

Thank you man, I appreciate it!
widebodys are almost done
I agree, graphics and physics this is what we are all waiting for now.
Suggestion to add bell notifications for replies in threads.
I understand that this is not a bug, but I did not know where to write suggestions for the site.
For me, this is an obvious feature. I often came across a situation where I did not know what was answered on the forum, or when I answered someone and they did not answer me for months because they did not know that they had received an answer. I understand that there is a subscription tab on the site for this, but I already have dozens of threads there and I just don’t want to press this button, moreover, many simply don’t know how it works and don’t use this function
I have a suggestion to add a "reply" button instead of a "quote" button. This button will also do everything the same, including a quote in the answer, but it will also give a bell notification so that it is immediately visible on the site and the person understands that he received a response . It would also be convenient that you could click on the notification in the bell, which will take you to the desired forum thread.
It will work just like on all other modern sites and it will be immediately clear to everyone.

I didn't want to respond to your comment because I generally agree with everything you said, propaganda is indeed everywhere, and most people are highly influenced by it. But it is important to understand propaganda from all sides and try not to be influenced by any one of them. but re-reading my gaze caught on the word "colonialism"
Colonialism...yes, it is true to some extent. Like with liberalism, bolshevism, fascism, totalitarianism, nazism... all these are a collection of practices and ideas to gain power, we can call them different words, but the party that gets the upper hand over the other players has the right to dictate their terms of play by right of the strong. All this leads to globalism. That's the way our world works. The strongest dictates how to behave, despite the fact that we all know it's wrong. Even if these practices, polities and idiologies are recognized by the strongest as being the best. You cannot dictate uniform rules simply because different people have different cultures, different traditions, different ways of living. But the strongest ones do not care. It just has to be accepted as a fact.
International law does not exist in essence, it is just a facade which can be changed to suit them, if "supporters" of international law need to violate it, they will quietly do this if they have enough power to do so.
I agree that it is stupid to talk about the policies of different countries from the perspective of good and evil. Each state has its own interests in the global arena. But if this state will lead on the global arena, it will dictate its terms of being on this arena.
And here the question already arises "what would be if?"
What would have happened if the Nazis had won and dictated their terms of being on this stage? Or the communists? Or the classical liberals? I don't know the answer to these questions, but I think that depending on a regime that spread their version of globalism to the entire world was a serious difference for the entire population of people.
Right now the world is ruled by left-liberals some of them are increasingly drawn to authoritarian practices in their countries. This was especially evident against the backdrop of covid events. But still there is even a large isolationist camp in U.S. politics right now. Generally no one listens to them, but nevertheless sometimes such things as withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan happen (although this is a bad example because the withdrawal was too abrupt, and immediately after that the Taliban took over and restored totalitarian order) Or even now supplies under the lend-lease from the U.S. are not carried out, although lend-lease was approved over a year ago, there is still no supply, and ukraine is suffering from it. Trump was a better isolationist than Biden with his 'America First" politics. But the elites didn't like it and the media removed him. So here and there are still some isolationist practices from some of the leaders. These factors still give us the right to think that this is not the worst version of globalism.
Yesterday there was a meeting of the United Nations in which a resolution on Russia was adopted. The UN resolution on Russian aggression against Ukraine and Georgia, 122 countries in particular China, and even pro-Russian Kazakhstan, India, Armenia, Turkey, and Brazil voted to support the resolution.
What kind of alliance are we talking about if one ally recognizes the other as an aggressor?
Edit: The funny thing is that before the war in Ukraine, the UN assessed Georgia's actions in the 2008 war differently, and that Georgia started the aggression first, while russia's retaliatory actions were too harsh.

current progress on widebodys
I don't have a strong opinion for or against reverse engineering on LFS code. But I just want to make a point for the sake of having a reasoned discussion.
As far as I understand, having free reverse engineering helps developers of third-party software to help players. Tweak and LFS Lazy are just the most famous of them. As far as I understand these programs are not forbidden and they are not cheats (if tweek is used on specialized servers) There can be many such programs, by analogy with Asseta Corsa where there are third-party applications for things that the developers did not provide. But there are special conditions for such applications.
For example in IRacing in nascar series some players use additional program that in interface makes visualization of cars from sides, that helps in the race with a small fov. Usually it is more convenient than mirrors, or voice bot-spotter or look sideways on the button. In LFS Lazy we have something similar. I think its good that being able to do something similar in LFS by reverse engineering.

I also sometimes lost my progress when I accidentally pushed ESC or clicked on X. I would like to have warnings if changes have been made.
And I already made one part of one of the body kits in the second part of the stream.
Nissan 400Z (N.400S) Drift vers.
I had thoughts of making a drift version of the Nissan Z even after the end of the main version N.400S, but then I switched to the GT4 version. But after the release of the news that George Chivchan is also building a Nissan Z to participate in the RDS GP, I wanted to finish this mod faster. Now I want to make a detailed drift version with several body kit configurations.
Now plans as a minimum 2 widebody kits configuration. Of course, all of these bodykits should widen the car equally.
One widebody Chris Forsberg
The second I found on the Internet and I liked the way it looks
the third will probably be what Gocha chooses, and the fourth maybe just I make my design.
Perhaps in the future I will make configurations so detailed that they will replicate the interior of the real car Chris Forsberg, George Chivchan, etc.

Babylon-Berlin.
A show by German director Tom Tykwer that combines the genres of detective, thriller, and melodrama and is done in an almost noir style. It has everything we've once heard about, like a magician pulling a textbook rabbit out of a cylinder, Tom Tykwer pulls out our own memories from the universal base of the "collective unconscious" by telling the story. Berlin - 1929. This is the time in which the most terrible regime in history was formed, but for some reason many people forget that even under this regime there were exactly the same people who lived in the same way like we do.
The period between the two world wars, known by historians as the Interbellum period, is a crucial and often even decisive period in the development of many countries, usually associated with serious social, cultural and economic changes. Of course, such a controversial period in world history is often reflected in popular culture, including such genres as television crime dramas. In the U.S., this period was the era of Prohibition, brilliantly reproduced in Underground Empire. The English had their critically acclaimed "Sharper Veils". Now Germany has its own TV project, masterfully transporting the viewer into the era of the "Roaring Twenties".
Communists, nationalists, prostitutes, policemen - a motley circle of glitter and poverty, where the latter is countless times greater than the former - people looking for any job, agreeing to anything, selling out without restraint. A nation standing at the very edge of a precipice into the abyss, but not yet realizing that it dances and sings in the last moments before the grandiose fall into the deafening abyss is mesmerizing.
This story is not so much about politics and detective investigations at all as it is about people. This series is like peeking through a keyhole at a life that was, beaten, loved and hated, but now remains only in old, yellowed photos and music.
The atmosphere of the era is something. I've always had a weakness for that 'golden age of jazz', as in 'The Great Gatsby', and with a European accent this era becomes even more appealing. Poverty neighbors with ostentatious luxury, gunfire in the streets makes you think of the trenches of the recent war, the rooms in the bars, where art is closely intertwined with pornography and prostitution, is generally delightful! Anyone who is partial to anything pretentious should take a closer look at this series.
Another plus is the wonderful actors. I've never heard of Volker Bruch and Liv Lisa Fries before, but they play first class, and just watch them enjoyable. I would like to give special mention, of course, to our actors who were invited to play Russian roles. The result is normal Russian speech, and not 'где ваши доказательства" (what's your proof - it became a meme in terms of voice acting for Russian). That's great.
Discussing movies, shows, books, cartoons, anime, manga, etc.
Perhaps you want to discuss a movie, TV series, cartoon or anime you watched, a book you read, or any other piece of culture.
You might think I'm exaggerating the scale of the problem.
But even if you look outside the context of the LFS, purely on YouTube I sometimes watch content on the type of prank in the omegle. And the authors of these channels are sometimes Russians. And over the last year a lot of people just get mad if they understand that you're Russian, start insulting and stuff like that.
Even on LFS events its same way, ands maybe even more, during the last year I participated in only a few events.
And then I have seen this behavior in the PiranMOTO events (in which we participated quite successfully), or at the last Soccar Cup, (which we were able to win), as well as yesterday on the Born To Race event, (but in the long race I still do not have enough skill😄)
Yesterday it was during races practice, but in the race itself he did not participate, I tried to calm down this guy and told him that he would speak out here on this thread, but for some reason there is still nothing. I hope he will speak out. I often see such comments on the servers, but when it comes to what would be a reasoned conversation on the forum for some reason here I see nothing here. More or less here everyone is sympathetic to the problem. And if its not, then they just do not answer😠
It is important to understand that I am against that these people were banned or somehow cancelled. I just want these people to start reasonable talking.
If you mean conservatism, then I can agree, there can be cultural and traditional differences in different societies. Which are important to respect and not violate (as modern liberals like to do).
But if you mean totalitarianism, autocracy, absolute limitation of rights and freedoms. Then no, that's where you're wrong. I believe that all people have the right to be free, and have some inalienable rights and are entitled to liberty.
Yes, as I said before there are three sides to this conflict, in addition to Russia and Ukraine, there is also the West, led by the United States. All of these parties are doing the wrong things. The expansion of Nato in violation of agreements, supplying Ukraine and sponsoring the right-wing radicals was a provocation for russia. And many other things that are too long to list. Most likely the U.S. wanted to make an anti-Russian government in Ukraine and start a military conflict, (as is happening now in Taiwan) But Russia fell for this provocation, instead of acting smarter.
On the streets they go quite a few, if in small towns and villages, they are found there more often. The interesting thing about Ladas is the motorsport, they still participate in many competitions and for example in drifting. In winter drifting, they are generally considered the best car because they are light and the engine is just enough to effectively push road studded wheels on the ice. In the largest winter drift championship in the world - "Winter Drift Battle" (on stages reaches 100 participants and more from different countries) Lada is considered as unbeatable. And therefore there 98% of Ladas although any rear-wheel drive cars can participate.

I'm glad to hear that
You probably don't understand what I mean. Skawen said, about two-tree years ago, that the tire version under development can already be raced, but it still needs to be worked on, and Skawen is working on it now. But looks like it's as if something is preventing that. And maybe some testing from players and getting feedback might give some ideas and will help in the development.
All I suggest is to publish the current under development version as a test patch (or test version if it need to be installed from scratch) and work with it from there. As far as I understand, it doesn't require to re-implement old tire code or somethink like that.
Sadly, reports now appear much less frequently. If it used to be once a week, scheduled on a daily basis. Now it's once every few months. I understand that scawen is also working on another test patch with minor fixes, and LFS Editor.
In theory, LFS Editor can be updated endlessly until it becomes similar to Blender or 3D Max and then surpass them. But even without that we can work in it. But shouldn't the main version (with physics and graphics) be the priority of development?
I don't know exactly what's really going on, but from the outside it looks like progress on tire physics isn't happening at this time. I understand that this is not an easy thing to do.
As I understand the topic of multitrading, 1khz physics, graphics and track updates are pretty much done, and it looks like all that's left is the physics of the tires. And if tire physics is at a standstill, maybe it would be better to release a test patch with current version of tire physics what is there to collect feedback from players who will compare the current physics to the new physics. And maybe this can somehow help further development and release a full-fledged update.
Its possible that im wrong and is already progress in the physics of tires that we do not yet know about and we needed only to wait.
I do not make complaints to anyone, I understand that the game is working only two people. Just im joke on April Fool's Day for the 3rd year with same joke in my social networking group dedicated to Lfs (with 6k subs), that the new update with graphics and physics is already out. And many believe me. Third year in a row. And it's kinda sad.

Well, for your with that level of knowledge of Russian reality this is not surprising.
This is literally a lie. Whats wrong with you? When you admit that you were wrong it means that "fit in for him"?
Are you familiar with the principle of implication? Probably not... your research showed that you found the Levada Center to be a foreign agent. How does the fact that the Levada Center is recognized as a foreign agent mean that the Levada Center conducted paid and falsified polls? Why don't you understand that A doesn't imply B...
The status of a foreign agent in Russia is given to anyone, including a private person, if you say things that do not coincide with Russian propaganda. Therefore, this status is often a mark of quality of this person or organization.
And before that I wrote "it's strange that if the Levada Center is supposedly an independent organization, then why isn't it attacked by the Russian state", (it means it works for the Russian state), and you proved me wrong and it is being attacked so that means it dosent working for Russian state. At the same time, the Levada Center shows a high percentage of people who support the war, just like the Russian state WCIOM organization. So if you think that the Levada Center is lying you think that the level of support for the war is lower, which means that the Russian state WCIOM is aslo lying.
You haven't cited a single piece of evidence to prove this, so you're just a windbag.
This is not sarcasm. And the results of the Levada Center are roughly the same as the results of the state service WCIOM surveys.
So you don't believe that about 80% of the people support the war? You think there are fewer of them? Well, that's your opinion.
Or do you think that the Levada Center and the Russian state organization WCIOM surveys are lying?
Considering the results of the surveys, you gave a good argument in favor of the fact that the conduct of sociological surveys by Levada-Center is indeed unbiased.
Окей, был не прав. Я забираю свои слова о том что ты не жил в России, но для меня твои слова о опросах звучат удивительно..
И что ты хочешь этим сказать? Что Левада-центр это независимая организация которая проводит опросы честно в сегодняшней России? Ты серьезно веришь в это? Сколько еще в России ты знаешь каких либо независимых организаций которые работают в России с общественным мнением. В медиа например, или социологических? То что Левада-центр никуда не вляпался за 40 лет для меня звучит как аргумент против их репутации. Любые независимые организации которые имеют какой то вес, и к которым прислушиваются подвергаются нападкам.
Если ты про NFKRZ то он в своём ролике просто рассказал про 3 показательных случая угнетения свобод в России. Во что тут верить? Каждые из этих случаев можно проверить. И более того читая новости я и сам на них натыкался, и на другие подобные вещи.
Не смотрю Шендеровича, не знаю о чем он говорит. Окей, давай предположим, что чисто теоретически Левада-центр действительно не врет. Хотя я не согласен с этим. Как это отменяет первые два пункта, о том что люди в целом врут, особенно при таких режимах и о том что большинство опрашиваемых не поддерживающих войну просто бы даже не стали отвечать на вопросы? Сам себя в этой ситуации представь. Мы говорим про систему которая сажает за слова.
Ну Гудков просто описал ситуацию с либералами в России, и я с этим в целом согласен, но там ничего удивительного нет. Авторитарная система будет сильнее разрозненного протестного движения, не надо быть гением что бы понять это. Даже куда более сильные протесты в Беларуси это показали. По результатам которых видимо и была написана статья.
Гудков это все еще апелляция к авторитету. Аристович например войну предсказал, и что это значит? Что он херни говорить не будет? Нет.
Я так не говорил. Я говорю о том что в данной тоталитарной системе мы не можем точно знать сколько людей войну не поддерживает. Я даже не уверен что её не поддерживает большинство. Но мы этого знать не можем. Чисто по моим наблюдениям это примерно равные три части, кто против, кто за, и "кто не разбирается и ему всё равно" что уже часто является обычной отговоркой для тех кто не хочет озвучивать свою позицию, хотя возможно им действительно всё равно. Но, возможно это чисто моё окружение. Плюс провинциальный город. И у меня нет какой то точной статистики. Так что это тоже по сути ничего не значит.
А это что значит? Молчание знак согласия? Если мы говорим чисто про их истинные убеждения, ты уверен что можешь так говорить о людях в России которые живут при этом режиме?
