Russia would need a hundred years more of existence to even come close to the amount of atrocities the US has and continues to commit.

Full account migration isn’t possible, as that would require rewriting fediverse history.

Redditors can’t help themselves but be racist against russians.

The country that Linux is domiciled in currently (US), has slave labor camps:

• The US currently operates a system of slave labor camps, including at least 54 prison farms involved in agricultural slave labor. Outside of agricultural slavery, Federal Prison Industries operates a multi-billion dollar industry with ~ 52 prison factories , where prisoners produce furniture, clothing, circuit boards, products for the military, computer aided design services, call center support for private companies. 1, 2, 3

It also has the highest prisoner population in the world both by capita and total.

Russia’s prison rates don’t even come close to the majority of US states, including even California.

Thx! I’m its original creator, and used it to teach myself android app programming. It also has another core maintainer, mv-gh, who knows much more about android development than me.

I haven’t had too much time to work on it recently, but its open source so anyone can contribute.

Nice! Best I can do is still just a heart. How are you learning / getting better at it?

I’m genuinely wondering how this is gonna shake out. I don’t see the US accepting the defeat of apartheid in Palestine the same way they were forced to in South Africa. Israel is too useful a military base for their intended war with Iran, which the rest of the world has zero interest in.

People don’t realize that the US founders explicitly modeled their new state on the Roman empire, with an expansionist aristocracy / slaveocracy controlling the state. The debates on this in the federalist papers are very explicit, as is the way they structured its government. Hell even half the buildings in washington DC are modelled after roman architecture.

Those of us who were on the net in the 90s, we had to make accounts for every forum / community site we wanted to use, it wasn’t a big deal. Nowadays if you go over to reddit, they’re convinced any site you have to create an account for is doomed to fail. Even one like this one, which similar to email, connects you with a wider network outside of the one you signed up on.

Marxists have a hundred years of text dedicated to alienation from labor, the falling rate of profit, degeneration of art and creative disciplines under later capitalism due to the profit motive, cycles of class struggle, all based on a materialist analysis of changing production and class relationsi

But for some reason a trendy term like enshittification that vaguely means things are getting worse, without going into the basis about why they’re currently getting worse, has caught on.

I’m convinced it’s part of the tech grifter trend to take things that were already invented, slap a new name on it, repackage it, and sell it.

Damn there are a surprising number of maintainers that are comrades and not taking this lying down from the western supremacist cohort.

Linus opened up a massive can of worms and turned this into a geopolitical conflict by acting like a baby.

This comment by Hantong Chen is great:

Hi James,

Here’s what Linus has said, and it’s more than just “sanction.”

Moreover, we have to remove any maintainers who come from the following countries or regions, as they are listed in Countries of Particular Concern and are subject to impending sanctions:

• Burma, People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
• Algeria, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Vietnam.

For People’s Republic of China, there are about 500 entities that are on the U.S. OFAC SDN / non-SDN lists, especially HUAWEI, which is one of the most active employers from versions 5.16 through 6.1, according to statistics. This is unacceptable, and we must take immediate action to address it, with the same reason.

What an extremely dangerous place to domicile such an important project.

This was a meme like 6 years ago, that we’d get to the point that US democrats would accept a candidate that’s 99% pro-genocide compared to the 100% republican one. It’s worked, and now democrats are falling over themselves to defend this genocide and their party’s staunch material support for it.

Keep voting tho, its working great so far. The USA keeps improving by doing the same thing over and over again. /s

The single issue? Genocide.

after the DNC forced out Bernie

Keep doing what the Dems are telling you to do, its working out great.

Stuxnet is just the beginning. Who knows how many hidden programs they’re running and building, how many certs and VPNs are compromised, what encryption algos they’ve cracked, what platforms they have full and instant access to, what critical infrastructure they’ve rigged to blow, just waiting for a go code…

We won’t know for 20 years at least.

Obama dropped an average of 60 bombs every day on the middle east and north africa during his presidency.

The US isn’t a democracy, and it’s elections are nothing but theatre. I recommend asking about this on lemmygrad or hexbear also.

Another great one is “larry thorne”, aka Lauri Törni, a finnish nazi (buried with the highest honors in USA’s Arlington cemetary btw) who fought against communists and lost 3 times (twice against the USSR, then took an L in Vietnam).

This wiki sidebar sure is one

Not sure what the source is there. Does seem low, but Israel doesn’t seem to be taking any prisoners anyway.
