From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For half a second there, I was like "yeah, so glad Lemmy is more rational than that site".
Few comments later, folks be talking about "Ukranian Nazis"...
are you a CIA bot or what? since when did people start ignoring facts and just repeat state department or fed propaganda? very strange.
🤣
Edgy tweens being edgy.
I just smoked weed and ... smoked weed.
What in the reddit are these comments
Hoo boy, you weren't kidding. I find it amazing how quickly this went from "the kernel team is enforcing sanctions" to an an unfriendly abstract debate about the definition of liberalism. I shouldn't, really, but I still am.
Hahaha I saw the parent commentor of that chain notorious for getting into back and forth arguments, sometimes reasonable sometimes not, and I thought to myself, this is going to be fun. Then I recognized the username of that other .ml user as a known troll and I was like, yep now this is going to go way off the rails.
Wholesome banderite chungus
I would wager that every country has far-right elements, including Russia.
What Russia claims though is that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis, which I don't think is true.
The wager isn't whether countries have "far-right elements". The wager is which country has a government that openly venerates a man who slaughtered Jews and Poles for sport. Maybe someday you will understand what happened here.
How does Zelenskyy's government venerate Bandera? Zelenskyy apparently dismissed his ambassador to Germany after the ambassador defended Bandera.
The Kremlin pushes the idea that the government of Zelenskyy (a Jewish man) is full of Nazis, because they think this justifies their invasion of Ukraine.
In reality it seems to me that Russia is behaving like Nazis, not Ukraine. Russia is the one that has launched an invasion of conquest, just like the Nazis did.
