Man I’m sure they’ll be really sad when no one shows up to shoot their dog

nvm it’s the Lemmy Sync app which broke the markdown for some reason 😬

Link is broken for me

After reading the whole thing, this is heartbreaking

The agenda:

Can we stop fucking up the planet so this doesn’t happen?

Yes, absolutely, and I think anyone who says otherwise is a liar, given shitty enough candidates in an election

Why is he calling the genocide a “war”?

You assume everyone uses Apple keyboards

Wrong phrasing on my part.

No matter which side you ask, the Republic Of China (ROC) or the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Taiwan isn’t a country, it is a region of the country of China. Saying that Taiwan is a country satisfies neither the ROC nor the PRC’s claims

Democratic socialists or social democrats? (Yes, there is a huge difference), because demsocs are just a type of communist (whereas socdems are capitalists / liberals)

Other countries are similarly sanctioned, and hundreds of maintainers from those sanctions are still there. So the sanctions thing is absolutely just an excuse.

What Linus just did to Russians is scaring a lot of people right now, who are probably wondering if they should keep working in association with a project which has just demonstrated its unreliability.

I mean, if your instructions were to quote some random name which does not exist, maybe you would ask your professor and he’d tell you not to pay attention to that part

Not even Taiwan claims to be a country though. They claim to be the sole legitimate government of China, hence their actual name, The Republic Of China, and not “republic of taiwan” or some other thing.

Although why would anyone from Russia even consider helping a project which sees them as lesser

this was not a choice, but a requirement

It has been framed as such, but no evidence has been given that it was a requirement

This shows that no open-source project can really be directed from the US, or if they are then a fork should exist and be maintained by BRICS citizens who are obviously viewed as lesser, at least in the Linux project.

This wasn’t a decision made based on sanctions, it was just an excuse given but no actual evidence of Linux being required to act on them was ever given.

I don’t think they mean “people who wouldn’t have cats as pets”, there are tons of valid reasons not to want cats as pets, such as the two you described, and I wouldn’t say that you “don’t like cats” given those two reasons

It’s not the first time that peace exists you know, and it’s an incredibly short span that you’re describing, one which I think everyone agrees is closer to its end than anything
