I just want the Steam and ... button to also work in desktop mode. I'd hack it into the kernel driver to map them to the super key in lizard mode if I could understand it properly. Unfortunately I don't have the energy to read the code.
Now I wonder what would happen if someone were to submit such a change to the Linux kernel. Would Valve try to fight it or work with it?
16th BRICS summit opens in Kazan, Russia
This is the first summit since the accession of five new members, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE earlier this year. It is expected that yet another set of countries may join the grouping this year.During his speech at the ongoing BRICS summit on Wednesday, October 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his desire to see the grouping play a greater role in global affairs and in resolving regional and international challenges.
The 16th summit of the 10-member grouping is being held in Russia’s fifth largest city of Kazan from October 22 to October 24. Apart from the full members, over 30 other countries are participating in the meeting which has the theme of “strengthening multilateralism for equitable global development and security”.
During Wednesday’s proceedings, the BRICS countries passed a resolution condemning Israel and calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. “We stress the urgent need for an immediate comprehensive and permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and detainees from both sides who are being held illegally, and the unimpeded, sustained and large-scale flow of humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip, as well as an end to all aggressive actions,” reads the Kazan declaration.
On Tuesday, most of the member countries held bilateral meetings. Putin held meetings with President Xi Jinping of China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi from India, and his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa. More bilateral talks are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
Founded in 2006, BRICS has expanded from its original four members (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) to 10 members now. South Africa joined in 2010 and on January 1, 2024, five new members, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) joined as full members.
Today, the countries in the grouping together represent 46% of the world’s total population and around 36% of global GDP on the basis of PPP.
Apart from the heads of its member states, leaders from several countries, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Venezuelan President Nicólas Maduro, and leader of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas are also participating. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel could not join the meeting in person due to the situation in Cuba in the wake of both the national grid failure and Tropical Storm Oscar. Cuba was represented in the meeting by its Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez.
For his part, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva could not participate in the meeting physically due to recent health complications. However, he addressed the meeting through video conference on Wednesday.
Like several other countries participating in the summit, both Russia and Iran have been subjected to unilateral sanctions by the west. China and other BRICS members and some of the non-member countries such as Cuba and Venezuela have been campaigning against such unilateral sanctions, calling them illegal and detrimental to nations’ right to development.
On Tuesday, China raised the issue in the UN again, claiming that unilateral coercive measures “violate the principle of sovereign equality and cooperation, intervene in other countries’ internal affairs and disregard the purposes of the UN charter and international law,” Xinhua reported.
In light of this, the BRICS nations have been pushing for greater financial independence from the Western financial systems and the dominance of the dollar. The New Development Bank, formerly the BRICS Bank, was founded in 2015 in order to advance these efforts of financial independence and serve as a “multilateral development bank aimed at mobilizing resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other EMDC.” It is currently headed by former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

‘Copy-paste the West Bank to Gaza’: Hundreds join Gaza resettlement event
(+972 Magazine, 2024-10-22)972mag.com/gaza-israeli-resett…
———“‘We came here with one clear purpose: to settle the entire Gaza Strip.’ That was the declaration of Israeli settler leader Daniella Weiss at a gathering of hundreds of right-wing Israelis near Gaza on Monday, where they celebrated the Jewish festival of #Sukkot by calling to erect settlements inside the besieged enclave.”
“…this well-organized, calm, and joyous gathering — which was approved and held against all logic in a closed military zone near the border, and was attended by several senior figures in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party — marked a new step in the effort to mainstream the idea of resettling Gaza with Jewish Israelis.”

After adding a new penguin to my zoo and moving around a few services, I had the need to re-route HTTPS traffic to a different host for doing all the SSL handling (which would then send a request back – but via HTTP on a different port). The simplest way to do this is to use the built-in capabilities of the default packet filter. In my case this is nftables.
A quick search brought up Jens Depuydt’s very detailed post. It’s easy to follow and after some tweaking I ended up running these commands to setup my forwarding:
# sudo nft flush ruleset# sudo nft add table nat# sudo nft 'add chain nat prerouting { type nat hook prerouting priority -100 ; }'# sudo nft 'add rule nat prerouting ip daddr 192.168.0.XXX tcp dport { 443 } dnat 192.168.0.YYY:443'
(Masquerading messed with Docker containers on that system not being able to reach external destinations properly. And it wasn’t needed for my use-case anyways.)
Due to Docker being installed on that host, my net.ipv4.ip_forward value was already set to 1.
After verifying that the forwarding works as expected, it was time to make this config permanent. There were already a few lines in my /etc/nftables.conf, so I’ve decided to append this new config by running:
# sudo nft list ruleset | sudo tee -a /etc/nftables.conf
And, finally, I needed to enable the nftables service so the config is properly read and applied at bootup:
# sudo systemctl enable nftables
After a proper reboot (and getting a bit nervous because Docker took its bloody time to start) everything was still working as expected – including the new port forwarding.

Half of Jabalia ethnically cleansed by Israeli army as schools burned and men kidnapped
Under the cover of heavy air strikes and artillery shelling, large Israeli ground forces directly and systematically attack homes and buildings used as shelters by displaced families, forcing everyone out at gunpoint.
The buildings, including UN schools and houses, are subsequently either razed or burned by Israeli soldiers to prevent people from returning.
Troops then separate men from women, before taking them to humiliating field interrogations and later abducting many of them to unknown locations.
Women and children are forced to head south of Jabalia refugee camp. Some were bombed and killed as they fled, according to media reports

Not op, but: The citizens aren't all or always a reflection of government actions.
Trauma, real or perceived, can cause irrational behavior and beliefs.
Propaganda and methods of behavior control and modification are powerful. Fear of speaking out in a culture of vengeance.
Bibi et al are pure evil. That's certain.
IDF: evil.
Some citizens: evil.
Some citizens: not evil
That said, the current state of Israeli governance no longer has any validity in any of its words or actions. It must be boycotted, embargoed, sanctioned, and dismantled.
Its leadership must face the judgment of their god for the abominations committed.
After they are judged at the Hague.
Israelis broke that rapist of prisoners out of jail and paraded him around on TV. They prevented him from facing consequences because they believe Palestinians are that much lesser, that their suffering does not matter, and no too great of crime can be done against them.
When the Zionist forces ramp up violence, Bibi's ratings increased. When they bombed Lebanon, targeting hospitals, Bibi's ratings increased. Their marches in the streets are not to end the genocide, they are to demand the full restoration of their status as ethnic supremacists. To return every hostage, even if that means destroying every hosoital, burning refugee camps.
There are Israelis that have compassion and work against apartheid, but they are an extremely small minority. The vast majority of the country are apartheid ethnic supremacist settler colonists and they are just as racist and crybullying as you would expect. This ideology permeates, they are taught it was children and it is reinforced through school, military service, and mass media.
Watch or read Israeli-targeted Israeli media. They do not put in the show they usually do for the world audience. They are just openly racist.
Such a society can only be addressed through disempowerment. When they lose their power, their ability to oppress per their expectations, when people get their homes back, a substantial portion of settlers will leave the country of their own volition, much like the whites of South Africa, while the others seek to retain as much of apartheid as they can and, if justice orevails, will fail to do so while their children receive a proper education in how genocide is, in fact, wrong.
news.sky.com/story/this-is-our…
You can hear what Israelis have to say from their own mouths. It's evil.
Bibi is evil, but he's absolutely a scapegoat for the evil of the Israeli government and even the people, as it is basically never reported in the west how his approval went up after escalating against Lebanon, and he generally is pushed to take more severe (and heinous) action by the bulk of the Israeli people. That's not to say every one of them is a bad person or Bibi is less evil, but every single one who is good is an anti-zionist.
Destroying the state of Israel, contrary to Zionist propaganda, does not mean killing all the Israelis, nor imprisoning them or otherwise punishing them. It means destroying the government apparatus that, from the beginning of its very existence, has been a racial-supremacist settler-colonial entity, and investigating what evidence is turned up in its records and punishing the actual criminals accordingly. Oh, and returning stolen homes where there's anyone still surviving to reclaim them.
I'm no expert but like, if the state is dissolved don't you suddenly have ten million Jews you need to relocate and house somewhere? It just seems like a logistical problem of insane proportions that nobody is ready to solve, and to me it's not really an acceptable outcome to the conflict
But also they won't stop committing genocide against their neighbors and stealing their land. So I don't know
I think Russia is claiming they saved all the Jews from the Evil Nazis.
They have tons and tons of free space, Israel can move there.
Most of the camps were liberated by the Red Army. I don't see why you feel the need to say "Evil Nazis" unless it is to mock the idea of Nazis being very evil.
The Soviets did actually have a plan to move the Jewish refugees who were refused homes abroad into a designated Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, but the plan fell through for reasons that I don't really understand. Maybe just because the land they chose wasn't good or there was just more momentum behind the project to colonize Palestine (which the USSR supported at a critical juncture before going back to opposing for some reason).
In the modern day, I hate the idea of injecting such a reactionary population of millions into a country that has a more lively left than most (though yes, the left has never controlled the Federation and has its own issues besides) when the Israelis could either carve out a part of Germany for themselves or be put in some of the other reactionary shitholes in Europe like England and Italy, where they probably wouldn't make the politics any worse than they already are.
The highly racial framing you are using is one that even Hamas rejects. Palestine is an Arab country in the sense that it's mostly Arab, it is not Arab in the sense of being an ethnostate like Israel. Likewise, the point of conflict here is not that the Israelis are Jews, but that they are former colonizers, aside from the second-class citizen Arab (etc.) Israelis. Jews do alright in Palestine right now.
Even if it just stopped there, the fact that there would be some hate crimes as blowback from the genocide committed by Israel is a much smaller and more manageable problem than having a rogue state launching hellfire missiles indiscriminately at cities.
But I think there are other factors to consider, first among them being that people of Palestine have the much more important jobs of a) reconstruction and b) the extensive trials that will be required, along with their associated fact-finding missions. There's a lot of shit to do and most of it is for the direct benefit of Palestinians, plus any spite they have can be satisfied by the just convictions of countless Israeli criminals. It's not like they are some racist savages who won't be satisfied until the last Jew has been bled dry, contrary to their hasbara depiction. Overwhelmingly, what they want is to live in peace, because so many of them have spent their whole lives living under violence.
So nothing about this seems like it would be an equivalent problem to leveling one of the most densely populated cities in the world, plus all the other shit that is going on. It is, in function, just a refusal to allow any blowback Israelis caused to actually hit them, no matter how many Arabs get slaughtered in the meantime.
I do agree with the other commenter that it would be good for some NATO-sphere country or countries to set aside land and migrate out those non-criminal Israelis who want to leave, but that's almost certainly not ever going to happen. I acknowledge that it's possible, but the use of Israelis to these states is as a ranks of a militarist state terrorizing its neighbors. What use would Israelis be to the imperial project in Alberta, Canada?

I saw an article recently that looked at the rates of suicide in Israeli soldiers. One guy, who featured heavily in the article, had killed himself after being an IDF bulldozer driver. The article tried to dial up sympathy for him, but additional coverage (in response to this article) highlighted that this guy had posted some pretty horrifying stuff on social media — stuff like videos and photos of him in Gaza, being pretty jovial as he drove through bodies and buildings. I wonder whether the PTSD he experienced afterwards was a sort of moral immune system, and that once he was away from the kind of military camaraderie that normalises atrocities, if he began to reflect on his part in this genocide. At least for him, we'll never know.
A Jewish, anti-Zionist friend who lived in Israel for a while said that it was disturbing to see how much the Holocaust was leveraged to make people feel scared and insecure. I imagine many members of the IDF do genuinely believe that most, if not all Palestinians hate all Jews and want them to die. That way, they can enthusiastically participate, believing that they are on the side of justice.
I once punched a Nazi at a gig, and I did enjoy it, because it feels good to be righteous and angry. Enough so that it makes me anxious about how easy it would be to lean into anger if it feels righteous.

Accusing others from "arguing in bad faith" are we?
Man, I wish he'd leave the communication to someone else. He is so, so bad at it. And this isn't the first time
The way he attacks critics puts himself in a bad light. But much more importantly, I read this and am still unsure if he has administrative/legal reason, security reasons or political reasons...
If I'd work in Russian propaganda, I'd love this so much. Hope this will not cause disruption in the community.
Maybe not Putin personally, but it's an autocracy. If/when the Russian government comes knocking on their door and tells them that they need to do x, y, and z with the kernel, otherwise they will mysteriously fall from a high window (an extremely credible threat these days), what do you think they'll do? What do you think you would do?
Sucks for the majority of Russian developers that want to participate in the FOSS community, but I get it. It is a national security issue.
This is kind of how sanctions are meant to work. We could have a discussion about whether or not sanctions should be used as it is sort of a form of collective punishment, but that's a separate argument.
They want regular Russians to "feel it," so that there is more pressure from the populace to get them to stop doing the shit they were sanctioned over. Obviously, in an autocracy, it's much easier to just ignore and suppress dissent. But, generally, the idea is to make everybody feel the consequences for invading a sovereign nation.
I think you’re making up a world in your head.
My friend, they poisoned people in the UK with a fucking nerve agent. They are so brazen and open about people being killed for not doing that the Kremlin tells them.

We're not talking about taking out former spies in foreign, sovereign nations you dolt. I used that as an example to show just how brazen and open they are about this stuff. Using such a dangerous method, on foreign soil, is basically unheard of.
If you actually want to talk about frequency, we should be looking at the defenestration cases...
This shit is happening so frequently that there are several wiki pages dedicated to listing them:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicio…
Scroll down to "see also" for a long list of related articles about the Russian government assassinating citizens and low-level bureaucrats.
Assuming you actually give a shit
EDIT: apparently Lemmy markdown doesn't like the link. For anyone who can't figure out why it's not working, or for some weird reason thinks I would make up a wiki page with a title that specific:
Suspicious deaths of notable Russians in 2022–2024
And, again, after checking out the main article, take a look at the "see also" section.
Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name.
In any case, the defenestrations I’ve heard of have been within Russia, not outside it.

I am not going to spend more than 30 seconds on it but here is the first list of “lots” of Russians that are believed to have been assassinated by their own government.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspic…
Despite your personal attacks, the trivially discoverable facts are not on your side.
I used Wikipedia since you apparently find it credible.
My favourite “suicide” of a notable Russian in the last couple of years was the one that had a suicide note signed by “illegible signature” ( what it actually said ). I guess the FSB did not totally understand the instructions.
Indeed A LOT of falling out of windows. Quite a bit of poisoning as well. These are the successful ones. How about that time they poisoned the entire Ukrainian peace team including the owner of the Chelsea Football Club?
For USSR being the victor in WW2. Why these Finnish "russian death camps" not in most of history textbooks?
Most history textbooks barely mention Finland at all. They will often not even tell you they were Axis-aligned. You have to read historians writing specifically about this topic. No lazy bones.
Also it's not unreasonable to hate the aggressor.
Like I said, this does not excuse allying with Nazis. I am not arguing about whether everyday Finns might have had animosity towards Russia for a few years. I am talking about being the willing Northern front for Nazi Germany, deporting Jews to camps, rounding up tons of civilians and keeping them in starvation conditions.
So even if they were building death camps to get revenge on Russkies. It's not like tribal collective punishment isn't engrained in our blood.
This was not tribal, it was a nation state and the forces were political. Lapua members were the key Nazi collaborators and they were anticommunist ideologues long before the Winter War.
Please refrain from bullshit human nature arguments to justify Nazi collaboration.
Why do you even want to defend an empire?
What on earth are you talking about?
The massive negative outcry over this fairly uninteresting change certainly seems oddly overblown, almost as if there are parties trying to turn it into a big political issue to paint Russia as a victim. But idk, nerds freak out over stuff all the time completely on their own.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I think the Linux Foundation has a hard time being clear on the matter because it just isn't clear. These are new laws and a global open source cooperation run by a non-profit is likely a corner case that the lawmakers did not think about at all when making them.
Can you find any links where one can read about this?
If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

Idk, there's probably some of that but until today with the clarification that the bans are happening from a list of employers they're required not to work with, things were pretty unclear and I don't think it was unreasonable to assume they were going beyond what was required...especially with Linus' response being pretty tone deaf given the information critics had. People were angry what seemed like random Russian citizens were being targeted and Linus responded angrily as if we all already knew their employers were on a list despite it not being reported yet.
It's not a huge deal but Linus is just not very good at handling this kind of thing. Nerds should have assumed there was more behind the scenes and given the benefit of the doubt, though.

Most of history textbooks barely mention WWII by the same notion. I won't argue I might know too little about the history of Finland. Although seeing how overwhelmingly current day Finns seem to oppose Russia and often mention the Winter War. It does seem that USSR was the worse of two evils there.
Like I said, this does not excuse allying with Nazis.
That's the point. They had a choise. Either side with the Allies and hence USSR (which fucked them up) or ally with Germany. It was an obvious only choise for them.
This was not tribal
The point is that tribal "us vs them" is just common. Same goes with countries. It depends if the group has a common identity.

Is it your experience that most people are historically informed as opposed to moved to adopt narratives by dominant forces? Finns have been doing historical revisionism on their alignment with Nazis since the 1940s. You need to have better logic than, "well most Finns say so".
That's the point. They had a choise. Either side with the Allies and hence USSR (which fucked them up) or ally with Germany. It was an obvious only choise for them.
The Finnish police state was already fascist-aligned before the Winter War. You are just making things up and pretending it is history. It is possible to actually know things, but you have to be humble and actually read. Your imagination is not a history book.

You keep clinging on little details. Russia is an empire due to how many smaller nations were conquered to the east. Just like USA is an Empire etc. Current rebranding doesn't change the fact.
Fuck ton of countries were fascist just before and during WWII. It's not a serious argument to make here. Fascism is just getting to power without democratic means.
And for the Finns. I honestly feel sad for you, if you believe there is a conspiracy theory that managed to brainwash an entire nation.
It's not about punishing Russia, is admit preventing vulnerability to a country that has an ongoing effort to compromise infosec.
Not at all saying Israel doesn't suck balls right now.
Those "little details" are the core facts in contradiction of your claims.
Russia is an empire due to how many smaller nations were conquered to the east.
The Russian Empire did so. The Soviets and RF did not. Though if we are speaking of conquering nations, the US certainly did so, and remains the same political entity it did during its genocides of indigenous Americans. The transitions to the USSR and the RF were in no way trivial, it was not just some rebranding. Both were cataclysmic.

A handful of European countries were fascist around WWII. It is of course a basic fact and remains a deep stain. Please do your best to not normalize Nazi collaboration.

That is not what fascism is at all. Not even under erroneous liberal definitions.

False historical narratives do not require grand conspiracy theories. Just the very normal and common process of manufacturing consent.

If one was born in russia, they should be either isolated from the civilized world or killed just as a pig they are
The legal reasons was because the Linux Foundation is based in the USA and the targeted devs worked for companies explicitly sanctioned by the USA. Linus said he knew and trusted the devs he was forced to delist.
The Linux Foundation needs to relocate to some stable neutral country like Switzerland.
Just beause Russian Empire rebranded itself it ia still basically the same size with the same subjugated people. The same yakut people are still subjugated. The cataclysmic event you're talking about is workers revolt. The other is the collapse where quite a bit of countries at least managed to escape. All we can hope is for the fall of russia and for other cultures to emerge.
Here is the common definition:
Fascism - A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
Even if you have 2 fascist countries, their goals and decisions are and usually is different.
And for consent. Look at bloody linux distros. Even if people actually want consent, it is basically impossible to achieve. Every expert will interpret it differently and you will have multiple narratives.

I addressed this in my previous comment. If you're not going to even read and respond to what I sau, what are we doing here?
The same yakut people are still subjugated.
Good example. The Yakut people were conquered and annexed by the Russian Empire and many were forced into diaspora. The USSR created a Yakut autonomous region and gave them far more control over their own fates and lands. The RF has done very little other than the usual capitalist exploitation of resources. Three unique stories and three different experiences.
The cataclysmic event you're talking about is workers revolt.
A revolution and creation of a new state premised on substantial regional autonomy and protection for local cultures. Ukraine today owes its entire national existence to Lenin's insistence on promoting Ukrainian national identity and degrees of autonomy and cultural protections.
The other is the collapse where quite a bit of countries at least managed to escape.
A collapse due to capitakist takeover, a time period where the country was subjected to "shock therapy" and dissolved / split against the will of its people. Tens of millions died due to the sudden deprivations. That is the doing of your Western powers whose lines you are echoing
All we can hope is for the fall of russia and for other cultures to emerge.
Please refrain from racism.

Yeah that's not what you said before. Can you spot the differences? Though of course to understand fascism you will need to learn history and politics, not just Google "fascism definition".
Even if you have 2 fascist countries, their goals and decisions are and usually is different.
Given that you don't know what fascism is, why are you confidently announcing generalizations about it? In order to have correct ideas and be helpful to others, it is important to have humility.
And for consent. Look at bloody linux distros. Even if people actually want consent, it is basically impossible to achieve. Every expert will interpret it differently and you will have multiple narratives.
You did not understand my reference.
Ukraine had a national identity before Lenin, tho. Although the dude is/was ahead of it's time. And the social idealism that follows looks pretty neat. Sadly he quickly died and another fella came to power. Usually when people bash USSR they bash Stalin's regime. It's far from socialist ideals. You shouldn't mix it up and just nitpick what you like.
If people are subjugated and still remain under democratic rule, they can still be under repression, due to voting majority. It's the same reason why Israel fears giving the vote access to palestinians.
You can try to follow Nazi fascism idea of fascism by following history notebooks. But it will get us nowhere. Without common definition that we have. Since for example Lithuania had a president which was with dictatorial levels of power during the time. He was not aligned with Nazi Germany. What kind of word would you use to describe the rule? There are reasons why fascism is defined like it is.
And dude, you can't be racist against a country. You and I operate with completely different definitions. I doubt we'll come to a conclusion. Would love to discuss it next to a beer, since it's fascinating to find these so wildly difderent ideas. How do you even get to a point where you know so much but manage to draw completely different conclusions.
Ukrainians aren't russian. Their language is different. Their culture is drastically different. Damn even regions inside Ukraine could count as different cultures.
For the split. It happened quite recently. I do recommend talking to people why they split and what was the common ideas on the streets back then from people who lived there. There were massive forced mixing in of Russians in those countries. Those people are usually the ones that still find as "it was better back then".

It was suppressed and the language was dying out in written form.

It was Stalin's USSR that transformed from a quasi-feudal backwater into a superpower that defeated the Nazis. It did so following Marxist-Leninist principals, which is to say, the development of Marxism based on the Bolsheviks' contributions - they seized the reins of capital and directed them to develop productive forces at a lightning pace and in a way that is never an option for imperialized countries. They ended famines, electrified the country, built rail at a scale that horrified and surprised the Nazi invasers, who remarked that little of it was on their mapsnfrom just a few years ago. And it did this under sanctions and attempted isolation by the major powers, the European capitalist forces that capitulated to the fascists, refused pacts with the USSR to build an alliance against the fascists, as they hoped they would turn east and deal with their red problem.
You should educate yourself about the USSR.
If people are subjugated and still remain under democratic rule, they can still be under repression, due to voting majority.
This can happen without voting as well and it is not inherently good or bad, relative to circumstances. We oppress murderers in one form or another. The impetus for thatbis understandable. Some have oppressed ethnic minorities for land grabs. That is not acceptable. Revolution requires oppression, you have to undo the order against which you are revolting. It does not immediately disappear just because you seized the army or run the newspapers.
It's the same reason why Israel fears giving the vote access to palestinians.
Israel oppresses Palestinians because it seeks to steal their land and they know that Palestinians will oppose them in this. Israel is not an example of "tyranny of the majority" and it is not democratic. It is an ethnic supremaxist settler colonial apartheid state and should be destroyed as such.
You can try to follow Nazi fascism idea of fascism by following history notebooks. But it will get us nowhere.
That will get you the whole way. You must read history to understand this historical reference. No shortcuts!
Since for example Lithuania had a president which was with dictatorial levels of power during the time. He was not aligned with Nazi Germany. What kind of word would you use to describe the rule? There are reasons why fascism is defined like it is.
Lithuania's president was a racist, antisemitic anticommunist liberal nationalists that dabbled a bit with fascists. Liberals have had all of the qualities of fascists over time and done the same kinds of deeds on a much greater scale. This is why you have to read history. If you just go by simple modern definitions, they will tell you that liberals are all about personal freedoms and equality. They will neglect to mention that liberals were the most brutal and racist colonizers and ethnic supremacists and misogynists and that this might pose a problem for their definition. They become an infinite No True Scotsman, defined in a way that means they never committed any crimes and it may be that, per their logic, no liberal has ever truly existed.
Fascists are really just a form of reactionary liberals that emerged out of inter-imperialist struggle after World War I. The fallout of WWI led to various nationalist and separatist movements in Europe as well as attempts to claim imperialist power. In particular, fascism rose most strongly in those places where conditions were degrading and communists were organizing for revolution. Fascists presented a triangulating position. They criticized the problems of capitalism by coopting socialist phrases but sought, in reallobersl simply organize capitalism into a nationalist form that had ambitions for Imperialism of their own. They built on the "fallen nation that must return to glory", a sentiment that could only resonate among people living in a country losing its status and among degrading conditions. They offered scapegoats playing on old forms of racism. Antisemitism, anti-Roma, Anti-Russian, many more. And most importantly, they opposed the communists, which is why they were so well-funded by capitalists and found friends among liberals. Fascists found their most committed and prominent recruits from the petty bourgeoisie and their sons, an inherently liberal base.
And dude, you can't be racist against a country.
I think you did not mean it to be racist. But Russian is also an ethnicity and Russophobia is at a peak in Western countries and they are reviving their age-old racist talking points. Tell me if any of these old school racist talking points seem familiar: they're just throwing masses of soldiers at the wall hoping to win, they are uncivilized/barbarous, they are not European, they are inherently untrustworthy, they are ugly, and their lives are just plain worth less.
You and I operate with completely different definitions. I doubt we'll come to a conclusion. Would love to discuss it next to a beer, since it's fascinating to find these so wildly difderent ideas. How do you even get to a point where you know so much but manage to draw completely different conclusions.
It is because communists live in the same world as everyone else and describe it in nearly the same way as liberals, but emphasize knowledge of history, political theory, and real-world organizing experiments. In contrast, liberalism is hegemonic ideology that offers narratives that, despite being false or misleading, go largely unchallenged. In a disagreement, someone drawing from hegemonic liberalism only needs to pluck an idea from a massive vat of talking points they have been bombarded with since birth. A communist needs to become fairly familiar with the topic, as they must criticize it and defend their talking points against hegemonic liberal ideas. They have to read the sourcec materials and understand why, say, Robert Conquest was an absolute hack when it came to certain topics because a liberal will unknowingly repeat one of his lies as "common knowledge".
Ukrainians aren't russian.
Many people in Ukraine are ethnically Russian. Ethnically Russian people have faced reoression in Ukraine since Euromaidan, particularly those in the separatist Donbas areas. Those there under the Kyiv regime face(d) cultural oppression. Those in separatists controlled areas face(d) artillery shelling.
Their language is different.
Many Ukrainians speak Russian as a first language, their everyday spoken language, and their language at work. Most people in Ukraine do not speak Ukrainian in that capacity. Ukrainian is more of a way for people from different backgrounds to communicate with one another.
Since Euromaidan, Ukrainian nationalists have been imposing Ukrainization on their people, suppressing other languages in schools, offices, and public life.
Their culture is drastically different.
Ethnic Russians in Ukraine have both cultures. Averaged out, Ukrainian and Russian cultures are very similar. Russians have an affinity fot the Kievan Rus, like an origin story nostalgia, and tie many of their practices to those of Ukraine.
Damn even regions inside Ukraine could count as different cultures.
There is certainly cultural diversity in Ukraine, yes. Some is represented by ethnic Ukrainians, some by Poles, some by ethnic Russians, and some by various diasporas.
For the split. It happened quite recently. I do recommend talking to people why they split and what was the common ideas on the streets back then from people who lived there.
Speaking of Ukraine, polls consistently showed that the generations that were adults at the time preferred to stay as part of unuon with Russia, I.e. "be in the USSR but with reforms". Those same people said it was better to live in the USSR than after it fell. Such a story is fairly typical of most post-Soviet states with the exception of the Baltics, who are a whole host of things, but the main one is their astonishing level of racism.
There were massive forced mixing in of Russians in those countries.
That sounds like a racist framing to me.
Those people are usually the ones that still find as "it was better back then".
Central Asians also had this opinion. It is really basically everywhere except the Baltics and Czechia.
That's more like his opinion or a post facto justification. Turns out it is a US thing.
If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.
So to get back, you have to basically prove that you have no relations with OFAC SDN companies.

I would wager that every country has far-right elements, including Russia.
What Russia claims though is that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis, which I don't think is true.
they’ve killed and continue to kill tens of thousands of civilians in the independent republics
Even if I assume the truth of that statement, do you not care about the deaths of Ukrainian civilians?
We couped Ukraine in 2014
My understanding is that Ukraine's parliament (Rada) removed Yanukovych from his position as president. That seems fair to me. Many countries, including the US, have legal processes for removing their leaders.
It's almost as if the markdown on Lemmy changed the text of the link so it's not valid.

Well done.
You also seem confused about what we are even talking about. We are referring to software developers WITHIN RUSSIA. So the risk of defenestration is very real. Again, to repeat myself, I only brought up Russia using chemical warfare on foreign soil as an example to show how open and brazen they are.

How does Zelenskyy's government venerate Bandera? Zelenskyy apparently dismissed his ambassador to Germany after the ambassador defended Bandera.
The Kremlin pushes the idea that the government of Zelenskyy (a Jewish man) is full of Nazis, because they think this justifies their invasion of Ukraine.
In reality it seems to me that Russia is behaving like Nazis, not Ukraine. Russia is the one that has launched an invasion of conquest, just like the Nazis did.
Using a ps4 controller over bluetooth [solved]
Hi, I was curious to know if there is any way to connect my dualshock 4 via bluetooth to linux. Wired works fine but the USB port on the controller is very loose and the controller disconnects easily, which is very annoying.
On windows I used ds4windows which worked great. On Linux I tried ds4drv which worked at first but broke after I upgraded to mint 22, I tried a bunch of stuff to fix it but couldn't get it to work.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Update: on mint when you connect the dualshock controller the LED on it glows light blue and it doesnt work, then a notification appears asking you to authenticate the connection, click yes and the LED will turn blue and the controller will work ( you can test it on desktop by using the touchpad as a mouse). It seems either I missed this message before or it didnt appear for some reason.
I can pair it like how I pair my headphones just fine. But it doesn't work like a controller AFAIK. Im not near my PC right now bit last time I tried games didn't detect it.
Edit: fixed the problem, read post.
It works for me on linux mint.
Is steam involved? Try going to compatibility settings, there should be something related to controllers and ps4 controllers.

Fun fact: public Bluesky profiles also offer RSS feeds
As RSS fans here may know, you can grab RSS feeds of communities and even your profile on Lemmy instances if you like. You can also do this with profiles on Mastodon, and I imagine other ActivityPub microblogging services.
However, you may not have known that public Bluesky profiles are much the same. By public, I mean their posts can be viewed without signing in to Bsky. I'm not sure but I'd think those limiting their visibility may not (or should not) permit pulling a RSS feed of their posts.
All you do is copy the account's Bsky handle, e.g. [username].bsky.social (or custom domains, should work the same I think) to your RSS reader of choice, and you should have a feed of their posts.
It's a nice way to get feeds for news sites that don't directly offer them and that have moved to Bsky but not Mastodon or other ActivityPub microblogging services. It's also great if you're simply not into microblogging in general and/or don't want to make another social media account and download another app.
Hope this helps!

Because SOME people just won't SHUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUP already.
I wish real life had word limits on people talking. I remember like 10 years ago, working in an office setting with one woman who told me everyday what she saw on some kardashian show. I honestly don't know if she told me the same things everyday, or if this was a daily show with constant new content. All I know is that OTHER people told me that this woman has kids, but she never talked one word about her kids. She only ever talked about the kardashians.
And I never listened to a thing she said. But I damn sure wish she had a mute button, or a word limit.
idk, I actually like the character limits. Probably because at one time I twitted things using SMS.
I like the language exercise of trying to say a complete idea in the less possible words.
