And this is only to begin with.

You are kidding me, right? The video was uploaded by a pro-Ukraine influencer in X of all places. Newsweek reports it and suddenly it’s taken in this community as the truth? I’m not saying it’s fake either. Just saying, it’s easy for someone in Ukraine to look like a Russian soldier making up some story about how stupid North Korean soldiers are in the front.

And even if the guy was a Russian soldier, under torture anyone would say anything, even something as lousy as “NK soldiers can’t comprehend left and right”.

Okay, then.

They are forced. They fight against the Ukrainian Army for their survival, because being drafted means they will probably die at this point. If they could keep avoiding the army, they would probably survive until this madness ends.

You can have your side on this and think Ukraine is fighting for survival, but that’s a point of view, an idea. Some facts are:

1. Ukraine is currently loosing this war. It’s even territorial.
2. Ukraine is loosing support from their allies. And if Trump wins, which is somehow plausible, they’d be practically alone.
3. Recently drafted citizens are just that, they are not soldiers. With their morale, they probably aren’t even fighters.
4. A good chunk of the remaining Ukrainian people don’t want to fight no more.
5. Drafting more inexperienced citizens will at best slow down the course of the current events.

Argument: War is almost lost. People are finite.

It’s clearly a giant.

You should also take into account the animosity against lemmy.ml in general from some instances and communities. Something to do with the moderation here or something else.

I’m running the KDE spin, because, well, just because. It was a bit strange to think about it, like “Nautilus? I’m not having that problem. Wait a minute”. This year I stopped using GNOME, nothing specific about it, just wanted to try Plasma. Wanted to experience the old convenience of Linux to just switch to another DE with a couple of commands.

I upgraded yesterday, thinking I may have not enough time to do it the rest of the year. It already works great in my AMD Ideapad.

It is inherently disruptive. And “knowing” Linus, if he apologizes for the communication, it won’t come soon enough.

Sorry for liking it.

Oh… USA is untrustworthy country and taints even regular good people by them having to live there. What can they do if CIA/DEA/CIS/DHS/SS/FBI or something calls and tells them to put in some code they want? Refuse and watch their loved ones rot in prison/get deported/disappear/die? Comply but risk telling the community they just did that?

Hilarious? It would be literally fantastic.

That works too.

He makes transactions. If passion is lacking in your life, don’t get overexcited.

Sometimes you need u/spez to give you a couple more blows before you say “fuck it, fuck this”. It happened to me.

Yeah, old.reddit is like a dam for users that will flow with the fediverse sooner or later.

The corruptive nature of xenophobia impregnates deep into the Israeli society. This is worrisome. They are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, but they are embracing their own people into impunity, just because they devoid Palestinians of any human nature. This is truly vicious, this is pure hatred.

Hi Bibi! How are you today? I guess I need a shrink. Wish I was a sane person like you! My heroe!
