I want to feel bad for these people, but their suffering is nothing compared to the people of Ukraine getting bombed every night.

Tankies are sick of a lot more than capitalism. Rational thought, for one.

Nothing deflates a right-wing ego. Wait a minute… is there something that does?

The EU could’ve provided long-range missiles long ago and ended this war too. Instead they tucked their tails between their tails and kissed pootle’s ring.

They will get a bunch of new soldiers, throw them into the meat-grinder, maybe gain a few sqkm and then the battle front will freeze again. I just hope they fail before winter. Ukraine had a hard winter and they shouldn’t be forced to have another.

Crazy fucking video. Goddamn.

wat?

How do so many people own a home? There’s no way that’s right. How is this being counted? Is this a percentage of adults? Does it take the number of home owners and divide it by the number of adults in the country? Does it count adult children living in their parents homes as “owners”?

I need to see some methodology.

Now this, I like!

Kinetic sanctions are working well

@pmk@piefed.ca here you can find banks that support or have announced WERO support. Sweden doesn’t have any (yet). But you can also see what kind of things they will support.

I’ve deleted multiple posts for different reasons:

• answers were crap (mostly offtopic, missing the point, simply attacking me instead of the question, etc.)
• mbin doesn’t support muting notifications from topics, so I’d just keep getting them, so it was simpler to delete than wait for people to stop talking
• I got my answers and it wasn’t that important

I don’t give 2 shits about “points”. You could make this the most downvoted comment on the planet and I would leave it up (if I didn’t get notifications)

in 2014, this would’ve been horrible news for Ukraine, but now, it’s great!

I imagine that most of the people needing the money are in poorer regions, not Muscovites.

He will be called a “foreign agent”, poor guy. And anybody showing up to the protest too.

Let’s see what happens though. Maybe there’ll actually be footage.

This is one of the reasons Russia didn’t want Ukraine to get long-range capabilities. The plebs would then be aware of the war. Up until now, it was kept away from them and they only felt the second-hand effects thereof.

I just hope they don’t all go to “lemmy.world” or some huge instance. Regardless, even the @eucommission is understanding the value of the fediverse and has its own mastodon instance. The German government is also going more opensource, the Dutch government wants to have an alternative to GitHub that might join the fediverse, France has the DINUM which seems to want to aggressively leave US big tech behind.

One big problem I see with the EU finally noticing opensource is that they are new to the game and will take lobbying money. Solutions like BlueSky might easily lead them astray, but I seriously hope they will see “developed by USAians” and go “fuck that, we want Mastodon that’s spearheaded by a German non-profit”.

It’s very imaginable that more duds like BlueSky will pop up to distract from the fediverse and try to grab a piece of the monetary and attention pie the EU has.

We need to convince more of them to sync / mirror their content on peertube.

But crossposting requires an account on the target instance, doesn’t it? I can’t crosspost on my peertube instance to a community in lemmy/piefed/mastodon/fedia can I?

Crossing fingers for this war to be over this year.
