From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Holy shit I didn't know admins in this place were full blown Russian lickers. I don't know about you but I would gladly have my country join nato if that means not ending up like Georgia or now Ukraine twice.
Also congrats on getting Finland to finally join nato btw.
Right??? They act like they are concerned about what events could have taken place to ensure that the invasion never happened. Guess what could have occurred that would have been the biggest guarantee that the invasion could never happen? Ukraine joining NATO prior to the invasion....
@theunknownmuncher @Samueru Like Russia placing nukes in Cuba guaranteed we wouldn't invade it?
The thing about not being willing to learn from history is that you are then destined to repeat the same mistakes.
Cool, maybe the US will blow up its new ally’s pipelines too someday. We are not a trustworthy ally.
@Samueru @davel Is there something about people from lemmy.ml that makes them only capable of insults as opposed to rational discussions?
What rational discussion is to be had when one country is clearly annexing another since 2014 lmao?
@Samueru The history goes back way before 2014 and your summation of the situation is inaccurate.
It goes much further back, and it involves a lot more Ukrainian fascism than people realize. History of Fascism in Ukraine: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV
.
Ukraine, and Europe in general, didn’t maintain this post-WWII fascism all on their own, though: The US. bears significant responsibility. The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It
There is also a recent academic book (by an Ukrainian academic) about the maidan massacre: The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine: The Mass Killing that Changed the World | SpringerLink
Evidence shows beyond a reasonable doubt the far right / oligarchs were behind the mass killing of over 100 people and blame it on the government in a false flag operation. But people in the west will never hear of this. And if they hear they will dismiss it as conspiracy theory or propaganda. So it's really no wonder people like linus react like this.
One has to really go out of one’s way to hear it, because corporate media aren’t going to tell it to us, until perhaps twenty or more years from now, when it no longer matters.
Yes it goes back to Holodomor and how russia has always treated ukranians as second class citizens.
@Samueru I find it humorous that someone would downvote me for suggesting that history goes back more than a decade. Guess they are less than ten years old and think their parents appeared out of nowhere when they were born.

Or that's what this would be on Lemmy.ml. They are all tankies and they get mad when you point out terrible things like facts.
You are on the Russian instance my friend. I would strongly recommend finding a new home.
What instance do you suggest?
Pretty much any that isn't Lemmy.ml, hexbear or lemmygrad. (And maybe beehaw.social as they have defederated from Lemmy.world)
Just look around and pick one.
