Soviet flag on the left 👀

Soviets force Finland to expel the Nazis after the Finns lose the war they fought alongside them

“See! We finns were antifascist the whole time ☺️”

Impressive mental gymnastics as always lol

Deeply unserious little puppet. Not a statesman like bone in his body; zero political acumen, just bending to empire and fascists at every turn and calling that internationalism and progress

Very true, and if u want some extra internet drama it was BadEmpanada who released a bunch of his personal info on some anti China crusade iirc

Well there are compatibility layers but they aren’t perfect. I’ve tried nix-ld, nix-alien, and nix-autobahn and each does work but not necessarily in all cases. I found this to be most common with scripts.

For example, I tried to install the discord mod Vencord using these solutions, but even with the compatibility shell I could not get past the first prompt.

Another issue I had was network authentication. An organization I’m in has a secure network requiring a web portal to sign in, and it uses a python script to get hardware details and install a certificate. This does not work even with FHS compatibility layers. I manually installed all of the python packages it wanted, which got it to launch and immediately crash. On traditional distros, it just works

I’m rambling but yes these tools exist and they may make everything rosy for you, but be aware of their own limitations because they didn’t solve much for me

I wanted to love nixos but it has many shortcomings that aren’t immediately obvious but can really stump you. No FHS compatibility seems fine but certain programs require it and don’t have nix native workarounds. Additionally, the documentation is really not good. I used it for a while but it got in the way too much; now I use a fedora variant and use regular Nix for dev packages using nix-direnv. Gives me the nix features while also having a fully compliant and functional base system

This is accurate. Additionally, the WebKit rendering engine that they have to use is open source, so not too bad imo

There’s a nuke unaccounted for that fell in Goldsboro, NC too. Could’ve broken apart but it could also just be buried out there somewhere

I think you’re better off finding tools which work for your particular language, application, workflow etc. For me I use nix and direnv to create directory based declarative package sets that load upon cd’ing to a project’s folder. This allows me to have exact versions of the packages I need regardless of system packaging or versions used in other projects. Some people prefer spinning up containers for this role, often using tools like distrobox. If the language you’re working in has good version management tooling then you can also just use that

Mozilla.social no longer exists, Mozilla took it down

There is a Unity variant that’s still maintained

The dprk jab was lame but I like the message overall

Because this is the most propagandized country on the planet

Will Gaza even be habitable in 50 years after a Harris presidency? She has not vaguely aligned herself with current policy, she has pledged to maintain current rates of weapons shipments and support Israel to the hilt in their genocide. Any talk of ceasefire from Biden or Harris is meaningless because 1) they redefined ceasefire in their messaging to mean a hostage exchange 2) they are actively maintaining the military capabilities of Israel and therefore materially opposing ceasefire. Biden and Harris both CHOOSE not to make a call and end this genocide. They are as complicit as Netanyahu and exactly as dangerous as Trump

Clearly systemic approaches are the appropriate response to a pandemic. But our capitalist system has utterly failed to address this problem or put forth the most basic of solutions. So we must collectively work to protect one another in spite of their actions. Nobody is immune to Covid. Even as somebody who has gotten every vaccine the moment I could, I am susceptible to an infection, just much less so than somebody without the vaccines. Even if I got lucky and it was asymptomatic for me, I can act as a vector to spread it to somebody who is more at risk or just less lucky and who has major health outcomes for it. I’d much rather stick out in a crowd for masking than be the person responsible for passing the virus

It’s not about ‘viewing the world as a threat’ or ‘living in fear’ or whatever. It’s about community protection and mitigating the fallout of the ruling class’ selfish policies. The response of any revolutionary to systemic failures which are harming us should be collective action and education, and masks are a large part of that in the current climate of an ongoing pandemic. I wouldn’t look at the fact that millions of Americans vote for dems and repubs and conclude “the people want capitalism, I may as well give up on socialism.” Same principle should apply here

I mask every day; I will stop masking and taking precautions the moment the pandemic is over. I will not risk disability or death for myself or anybody in my life for the acceptance of those who deny science or for the mild convenience of not putting on a mask

If you see taking basic precautions towards preventing an infectious disease as a ‘style choice’ then I suppose you can’t expect much patience and decorum from people who are especially at risk of its worst effects

Lmao

Random applications that use the play integrity API won’t work on any third party OSes or ROMs. For example I tried to install some Intuit app on my GOS Pixel a while back (credit karma I think?) and it didn’t work at all
