Did Russia provide any help to those poor souls? No. Is this what is called “freeing”?

As long as the war continues, any money sent to displaced Ukrainians would end up in the pockets of the corrupt Ukrainian government and be used to buy weapons to attack Russia or to further suppress Russian-Ukrainians.

Include battery-exhausted to windless and I agree,
but natgas fanboys will still claim that solar power “doesn’t work” and “can’t ever replace natgas”.

So glad to see this.
Seeing all those nuclear fanboy comments whenever solar was mentioned from 2010 to 2025 was tiring.

Onto the natgas fanboys.
I’m looking at you Alex Christoforou.

I’m a man and I can tell you this isn’t true.

It’s good poetry though
and there’s certainly a group of women out there loving to hear this,
who will say yes if you ask them if they’re romantic,
unless she’s ‘Summer’ from ‘500 days of Summer’,
because that woman wanted to cite this kind of poetry
to her perfect partner and have him swoon over.

But you’re better off stating this to a romantically inclined woman
than to interpret the poetry and following its lines.

The only things that are not real that people think is real are time and space, especially space.

An illusion is when an object that is thought to have a certain shape,
turning out to have a very different shape and that usually means that
what one thinks it is seeing a solid three-dimensional object, it in reality is
just mere “smoke and mirrors”.

The moment you try and touch the object with your hand, your hand goes right through it.
Now one needs to use objects to create such an illusion, and those objects are real,
it’s the object that’s perceived to be real that isn’t.

Space is not an illusion, but it is misdefined as having the properties of an object
therefore turning something that merely conceptual as something that is real.
Yet even the most prominent scientists of today are too daft to realize this simple thing
and actually think that space is real and define it having dimensions.

And they define it as such: “You can travel through it three-dimensionally,
therefore it has three dimensions.”

While it may look like space has three dimensions, it doesn’t.
It doesn’t the same way mathematics doesn’t have
any place-value notation as a property of mathematics.
Sure, you can use the decimal system in mathematics,
but you based that on the number of fingers you have.
It’s not a property of mathematics, it’s just the preferred system we use.
And the same goes with space. Our body has three dimensions,
therefore we think space does but in reality space has no dimensions.

Dimensions are defined as the limits to where an object stops being.
Your length, height and width are the limits to how much you are.
You are not defined by how much an object can travel through you.

Space is not an aquarium with imaginary glass panes and infinite volume,
that auto-magically get an extra set of panes the moment one of the fish that swim in it
suddenly grows a new set of limbs that protrude into the next dimension.

Space is nothing. It is zero-dimensional as it has no height, no width and no length
and therefore is not real in the same sense that you and me are.
And thought of space having such qualities is the ultimate illusion.

No, this is a response to the mass adoption of systemd by Linux and the Age Verification Law.

It’s GNU philosophy or owning a compromised OS.

Bad.

Linux will become the new compromised OS
not far removed from Android,
while GNU Hurd will become the new Linux.

[edit]

Go ahead and vote me down!
It doesn’t change the way Ubuntu and Systemd have operated.

Abraham Lincoln also “murdered his own people”,
The differences are

1. The Soviet Union was never a safe haven
   for fascists and other right-wing extremists,
   so no slave owners fled over there to claim
   that Lincoln “destroyed their family business forever”.

2. The Soviet Union never paraded US Afro-nationalists that would make claim that since they’re oppressed,
   that the lack of population growth of Afro-Americans
   compared to Euro-Americans,
   should be counted of dead Afro-nationalist victims at the hands
   of Abraham Lincoln and other US presidents.

3. Like every US president,
   Abraham Lincoln oppressed the indigenous people of the US,
   which I will count as ‘own people’ and that equals at least 300 million people,
   because that’s what the population would have been if they hadn’t been viciously
   and brutally murdered at the hands of the Usonians during US history.

They are freeing Russian-Ukrainians in Ukraine.
Those have been suffering for 12 years.

Ukraine had a coup and the new leader decided to oppress the Russian-Ukrainians.
Zelensky presented himself as a peace candidate opposing the warmongering corrupt government,
but did the opposite once in power.

Large parts of Russia have been given to Ukraine in the past during the Soviet times,
ironically to prevent invasion of both Russia and Ukraine from Western powers.
Russia wants those areas back and those areas want Russia back.
The Russian-Ukrainians in Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts
tried doing an independence referendum before the war,
but were shot and killed at the polling station.

• Oppression of Uyghur ISIS terrorist members.
• Liberation of British-colonized Tibet, run by a local theocrat that enslaved most of its people and by enslaved I mean they had officially been designated as serfs to the state, as human property of the clergy, by law.
• You can’t annex your own country, but what you can do is support an expelled far-right party of a country that kills the indigenous people of an island and pretend that these murderers are somehow the victims.
• The Tiananmen square insurgency was a CIA-backed coup attempt where the insurgents murdered 100+ Chinese army choir soldiers that were on their way to the square to sing out the protesters off the square.

Go on…

Wouldn’t the quiet geek engineer be Richard Stallman?

This of course, was written by AI.

Social Democrats and to a lesser extend Pure Identity Politics Progressives.

But social democrats first and foremost, because the social democrats usually have a couple of charismatic intellectual gurus.
For the US it’s Noam Chomsky
Greece has Yanis Varoufakis
the Netherlands has Maarten van Rossem

“USA bad” well extends beyond Lemmy and I don’t think Lemmy is “USA bad” enough.

I use XFCE for it’s philosophy of modular being better.

That would be a coincidence since Bitcoin was created by a single college kid.
But I’ve seen SN’s website a few years before 2022 when I figured out his identity and Putin knowing his identity would not be surprising considering what was on his main page.

What stuff is being said about in the Epstein files?

China still dominates.

The Chinese protesters hanged and burned unarmed military police who were ordered to sing them out of the of the square like pied pipers, which worked as they did so even during the insurrection.
They had no intention to kidnapping or murdering anyone and came in unarmed, until over a hundred military men had been burned to death on “the tank man street”.
The Chinese military police shot and killed all the terrorists and evacuated the peaceful protesters.

What the Chinese government can be faulted for was that they did the same Biden Jan 6th order to send in the military with the same instructions:
Show up on “Capitol Hill and surroundings / Tianenmen Square” in time or be tried for treason.
Use force on people blocking your way.

For Jan 6th 2020 insurrection this resulted into 0 protesters dead as everyone fled the moment they heard of the US military coming.
For the June 4th 1989 insurrection it turned to over a 100 protesters dead as they were protesting far from the “tank man street” or even the square and did not believe that there even was an insurrection going on. Most of these deaths were caused by a single incident where the military and protesters were quarreling on who had the priority on taking public transportation.
