Well, Ubuntu uses Snap, which is a rather poor packaging solution that basically no other distro has adopted. By default it’s a little bloated, it’s made some controversial decisions (rust coreutils), and other distros just do what Ubuntu does better (like Mint)

Can Iran hit Los Alamos then?

Imagine handing over a Hexbear username, lol

None of the senior Walton’s have endorsed Trump, and the family has quite famously given money to both sides. I haven’t found any Waltons condemning Christy over this, though maybe they wouldn’t publicize it. I don’t think it’s a huge break from the family.

That’s somewhat true, but also the vast majority of financing for Indivisible, who organized these protests, came from billionaires foundations. These protests would never have happened without them.

Indivisible “reports 73 percent of its funding came in the form of “major gifts” or from foundations. Additionally, it reports that one of its donors consisted of 23 percent of its funding”, from https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/the-indivisible-project-indivisible

Besides all that, if a billionaire is backing it, it’s sort of a sign that it’s quite a centrist movement.

Learning how to use documentation should be the first thing you do when you try the Linux terminal. man vim, Vim page on the archwiki, etc.

I mean, just type :help and then use your arrow keys to scroll around and read how to use vim/neovim.

Yeah, it was the compromise, my understanding is they wanted fewer people to complain about Hexbear, so now few see Hexbear.

And yes, .ee wasn’t de-federated from us, but they de-federated from basically no-one. Load from them having to moderate arguments with Hexbear users has at least a little bit to do with the closure.

we set up some “Default Blocks”.

:(

anyways, gl to the lemmee refugees

It’s like that straight from the source. This guy is just taking from the government.

The Palm Springs guy didn’t do it for religious reasons, he was a weird vegan elifist anti-natalist pro-mortalist. He posted a manifesto.

they’re not cheap, even when bought second hand

I mean, I bought my T480 for $170 second hand (not from a refurbisher) a few years ago.

That’s cool! Lichen has such a great petrichor

There’s actually quite a few older leftists on Hexbear, but I think the age difference is more a function of technology adoption than a particular leftist thing.

Hexbear just has no downvote button (assuming this isn’t sarcastic or anything)

Now I’m trying to find a way to leave my family

Have you thought about getting a GED, or the trades? trying to get a livable job with no qualifications is tough

Yeah, there isn’t really a huge amount of evidence for CIA involvement in 1956. MI6 involvement seems a bit more likely, but the evidence is barely better, and even if they were involved, it’s pretty clear that the uprising was native in character (i.e. Kruschev in internal meetings referred to socio-economic issues as the cause, the MI6 guy says the uprising itself was a result of other events, and CIA documents like CIA-RDP60-00594A000100090005-2.pdf refer to it as spontaneous, and indicate they were caught off-guard, with only one Hungarian officer).

The antisemitic pogroms and ‘fascistic elements’ are probably real and were widely reported on, and it’s a lot better of a rebuttal to Hungarian revolution arguments. The number of deaths that resulted is relatively low too, even the suppression of small communist uprisings like the Jeju uprising involved several times as many deaths, without even mentioning the extremes like the Jakarta method. Of course any amount of death is bad, and it should’ve been stopped pre-emptively and peacefully (e.g. reducing economic austerity, less de-Stalinization), but Kruschev was leading.

“Some of the reports reaching Warsaw from Budapest today caused considerable concern. These reports told of massacres of Communists and Jews by what were described as 'Fascist elements’ …” (N.Y. Times, Nov. 1. 1956). This pretty decent writeup by a Hexbear goes over some details and gives more quotes.

The legality of the invasion is dubious at best, but that’s in many ways beyond the point. The UN didn’t rule on it thanks to the USSR’s veto, and because the Suez crisis was ongoing at that very moment, weakening any Western claim to the legal/moral high ground. The people uprising did attack Soviet troops that were already occupying Hungary, but that’s a pretty weak self-defense argument. And the USSR did kinda use force against Hungary’s political independence, a violation of the UN charter (of which both parties were a member). Again, it doesn’t really matter, I don’t think people really care if an invasion is legal or not.
