In Threads, a mobilized IT guy with the nickname oncceuponatime_dude keeps a diary about how he ended up in the army. We’ve already told you about his experience from «gentle busification» and a night in the CCK barracks to his first day in the battalion .
In the second part of the AIT man’s confessions and discoveries, he talked about the BZVP, «NATO shots on the lips,» and «playing stormtroopers.»
This is the third part of the diary, where the IT worker shares his thoughts on why those who are BUSIFIED do not flee the army, how different the conditions of service are for staff and infantry personnel, and weapons in a blanket.

Jumping off Elon Musk's needle. How the world is challenging the Starlink monopoly and where does Ukraine fit into this race?
Low Earth orbit is experiencing an unprecedented boom: by the end of the decade, the number of satellites could reach 100,000. While the International Telecommunication Union tries to curb this chaos with strict quotas, a new hidden race is unfolding in space. China is building its own orbital empire, and Europe is investing billions in sovereign secure communication networks to break the Starlink monopoly. Against the backdrop of this orbital redistribution, Ukraine is quietly but confidently building its own "plan B." The government is gradually opening the space market on the NASA model, allowing private Ukrainian companies to create their own networks for reconnaissance and command of troops. How is the world preparing for life in an overpopulated orbit and what role will Ukrainian private space play in this new coordinate system?

As the Head of Talent Acquisition Department at IdeaSoft, I communicate every day with managers, highly qualified specialists who work in a constant state of stress. And sometimes the conversations ultimately boil down to the question: how to stay productive and at the same time not lose the sense of joy in life?

Ukrainian IT companies risk fines of up to €35 million due to AI: who will be affected by the new EU law?
Typical situation: AI sorts resumes, screens out candidates, and suggests who to hire. For business, this is, of course, optimization. But for an EU regulator, it affects access to work. And this is already a risk zone.
So if the system filters candidates, evaluates them, and influences hiring decisions, then it is already subject to strict requirements.
