Hi subscribers, thanks for sticking here. Sorry, but I have felt a bit too stressed recently, to look at all this news and report it. Its a one man job, and not a company so unfortunately i cannot keep up all the time. Meanwhile I still work on other projects, like this and this.
I still keep in touch occasionally, and send my prayers to everyone in Ukraine, and my friends who have been affected. Despite this war being so far, It still affects people here, directly or indirectly.
Now I don't want to do this 'blog' thing too often, and keep a NPOV (Natural Point of view) on this channel, but i feel it is important to sound out and condone the unprovoked attack.
Please make sure to keep to official sources, there even has been Deepfake videos posted online.
Back onto topic, sorry that I've been off so much, there's really so much in my life these days. Thanks for being here since 2019 - Love you all!
