minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•1 month agoTrust but verify, if you’re using the Russian axiom.
minus-squareAtelopus-zetekilinkfedilink1•1 month agoI wasn’t aware of the Russian origin of the axiom. And it’s been quoted to me, and I use “trust and verify.” I see from wikipedia that it’s a Russian proverb in Russian: доверяй, но проверяй, romanized: doveryay, no proveryay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify I guess I’m neither a good Russian, nor a good Reaganite. Not in the least bit surprised to know this about myself.
minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink2•1 month agoI’m neither Russian nor a big fan of Reagan, but I do like the proverb.
I believe it’s phrased, Trust AND Verify.
