Fucking over microsoft is always good
A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink
"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.
"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
Yeah I've noticed that almost every post and comment seems to get at least some engagement here, whereas on reddit it's very common to make a post/comment that no one ends up seeing.
Your world view seems to be highly influenced by propaganda. A country ruled by two identical genocidal capitalist parties isn't a "democracy"; it's a capitalist dictatorship.
Any party genuinely wanting to advance working class causes will not be allowed to come to power through it (they won't be funded by the capitalist backers that fund/control the two ruling parties to begin with), and anyone in power that happens to hurt the country's imperial prowess will be disposed of by the ruling parties, the way JFK was assassinated for wanting to abolish the CIA and reducing US troops in the Middle East.
That's why the "should be" I guess, though that's not to say there aren't idiots (right in this thread too) actually shilling for this.
If current open source licenses still have flaws like this, we're gonna need new ones.
Yeah I'm sure the maintainers are in talks with Putin directly
This sets such a bad precedent...
Yeah the kernel might end up being forked if this shit keeps going. Sanctions affecting open source software like this was not something I expected...
Free as in... obeys US foreign policy
Best way to decentralize users more would probably be to make your own instance. .world is certainly centralizing Lemmy's userbase too much right now.
Guess I'll have to avoid ASUS products if they're willing to fuck over customers like this
This has to be the biggest fumble of all time lmfao
