Welcome to the subset of the Russian psyche called "insult your enemy in the most cringe way possible". It refers to a skit Zelensky did when he was still a part of the Kvartal 95 troupe, where he played the piano with his dick.
The book's cover says: "Kama Sutra: 500 piano sex positions".

That's an interesting proposition, though that's a rather dramatic framing of what's ultimately an unremarkable life. Writing something could serve to better organize my thoughts and help make sense of things, I suppose, there's something to this idea.
But no, I don't think I'll be writing any books :V
I guess that it gets this petty because that's what works on the majority, i.e. lowest common denominator. No legitimate political or cultural argument would work quite as well, it's all too complicated to simply catch on.

Of course, it's like calling "Навальный" "Насральный" or shit like that. It's effective but doesn't make it less cringe.

It’s a million times less cringe than when westerners do it. “Demonrats” and “RepubliKKKans” etc.

I'm personally partial to "demonrats", it rolls off the tongue and is a pretty clever wordplay, perfectly fitting people it's attributed to. What all these people miss though, is that anti-people establishment ultimately consists of both. But you know how it goes, divide et impera etc.
Though that's off-topic. Cringe is cringe. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition's blurred.

Because it's not your native tongue. It's a proven phenomenon, it's why Linus Torvalds liked to swear in English, because he had less emotional connection to words like "fuck" than "vittu" or "Jumalauta".

You're probably right. I find the examples I gave incredibly cringey, but apparently the people here like them.
You do you.

What happened to the guy that made a very used branch of some github database into malware? I remember hearing about a lawsuit against him but it was questionable if it was real.

It most definitely does, but it's civilized to not be open about it.
Just look at most music that was considered amazing at its release, usually a bunch of 4-5 dudes in their 20-30s, high, severely addicted to some nasty shit, suicidal, ODs, left by girlfriends, mom died with cancer etc.
And this goes back in the past too, Romania's national poet is some dude from the 1850s that had health problems, love problems, nervous breakdowns, caught syphilis, died relatively young, and he wrote with a unique sense of righteous anger and disgust, was a pretty hardcore nationalist and xenophobe even for his age lol. Americans
Sickly, suffering, always angry, dissatisfied, probably poor, in love with some chick that's too retarded to understand you're a genius = great art
Full stomach and safe life = milquetoast statistic inflating person

Love the rest of your post but I have to be autistic and point out that Poe was American. He's the sole reason Baltimore has any tourism industry at all.

I assume you're referring to Brandon Nozaki Miller, aka RIAEvangelist. He released a new version of the widely-used package node-ipc which erased your hard drive if your IP geolocated to Belarus or Russia. I can't find news of any actual consequences for him such as a lawsuit.
Story from Ars Technica:
Sabotage: Code added to popular NPM package wiped files in Russia and Belarus
When code with millions of downloads nukes user files, bad things can happen.
Here are two archives of the GitHub issue, one before he wiped a lot of it (the title and OP), and one before he deleted it completely:
Remove the 'peacenotwar' module · Issue #233 · RIAEvangelist/node-ipc
archived 17 Mar 2022 01:31:34 UTC
His GitHub account is still active so he was not banned for this, although no one is likely to trust his software ever again.
The incident has a Wikipedia article:

NB: The name Nozaki is from his Japanese wife. He added her name when they married.

Thanks for the correction, been a long time since I last read about him, should refresh my memory!

Just stumbled upon this, kinda scary. Now, The Sun themselves say that the video is unverified, so take it with a grain of salt, details are unclear. I like how one dude pets it though

The issue with auto turrets is how do you prevent friendly fire / civilian kills.

Just like how Japan's space program isn't just for putting satellites into orbit.

Let's also not forget how their Helicopter Destroyer is totally not an aircraft carrier.

I'd assume it's not fully automated and controlled by its AI/whatever, but rather remote controlled. Lets you shoot without sticking your head out.
Also, I don't see any controllers in the video, but I'd assume the cables sticking out might be for that purpose

Ukrainians already have Stugna-ATGMs in use which works with similar principle.

Me write no good.
