Elixir.

I spent every other evening for a week trying to install fedora.

Skill issue.

China is the factory of the world, and even then they’re constantly told they’re bad, and that they should be destroyed, etc. The difference is that they’re the most industrialized and well organized country out there so they can call the bluff.

I hate like half the user base

Relatable

If only the US could have self restraint and foresight!

I hear anti-communist nonsense at work sometimes and this is what it feels like. “Commies tried so many times and it always fails!” (literally ignoring coups and regime changes, AES, that capitalism might kill us all, sex trafficking, etc)

Because socialist countries didn’t have the same networks, hegemony or development at the start, the USSR didn’t have infinite money, technology or resources to give anywhere

He’s not simply “against immigration”, he finds Tommy Robinson “heartwarming”. You may not know a whole lot about the far-right, but it doesn’t take a genius to see what he’s doing.

Communists that support Russia have critical support, which means we support some of what they do, such as supporting Cuba during a genocidal blockade, but we still have valid criticisms. You won’t see any of us claim Russia is morally good or some nonsense.

Communists don’t judge countries based on their perceived moral character. Russia, like all countries, acts in the interest of its own ruling class. Right now the interest of their ruling class is aligned with anti-imperialist forces. We understand that imperialism is the primary contradiction, and that as long as we live under a unipolar world order the global majority will only get poorer and more exploited, that climate change will inevitably kill most of us and that those who survive will be tied to the same exploitative forces.

The only reason why some of us come across as “pro-Russia” is because we’re often debunking imperialist propaganda. As long as people are willing to read beyond wikipedia or a genocide-denying newspaper, we’re fine discussing events with a lot more nuance than we get credit for. But it’s a lot easier to pretend we’re crazy Putin-loving tankies, so that’s what you see here.

Beat me to it

Rolling releases as a whole are a lot better these days, but I agree Fedora is excellent (and it helps to not need the AUR at all)

DHH is far right, clearly, I’m not sure they have a plan for destroying FOSS, they seem to be trying to normalize their worldview (which is bad enough)
