  • US and it's imperialistic crimes are nothing to sneeze at. Not gonna come close to try and justify what they have done (banana wars for ex.) / are doing (terror campaign against it's citizens for ex.)

  • Oh cool. 2008 action plan to join NATO. 2014 War with Russia started. Sure the argument could stand there.

    But riddle me this, why the invasion? The War never ended, so the argument that Ukraine can't join NATO stands.

    I mean I completely understand why they would like to join NATO, considering how Russia Georgia war started 2008

    Vatnik is how I call Russians that support the war by their action/inaction. It's pejorative. The true origin was a meme if I recall. Although the more I learn about Russia the more I hate the every day Russian

  • The "rule" is in the constitution. It even explicitly extends the term for parliament of ukraine by 5 years, and by their constitutional law it would be illegal for election to take place. Not to mention that you're missing the point about what is an election. It's not enough to put a ballot in the box. You must also provide the possibility to cast it for each citizen without external pressure, otherwise you can't trust the result. (Imagine if Russian soldiers were sent to collect the ballots with machine guns on their arms whether you'd like to join the Empire)

    Ukrainian civilians are bombed daily. It's not exactly safe for them to vote. Not to mention the other 2 points, before.

    NATO neutrality

    I'm saying how it is, not what imaginative casus belli they are going for directed to the western audience. There was no way for Ukraine to join NATO due to ongoing conflict that started in 2014, so it never actually mattered for the neutrality question. Otherwise accepting Ukraine would also imply declaring war on Russia or at very least, freeze the conflict at Donbas with Crimea going to Russia.

    When I'm talking about a land grab, I mean the idea to restore greater glory of the old russian empire or CCCP. It's not even hidden by now. Most high level (including Putin) politicians causally talks about it.

    The country is rotten to the core. The one positive I heard is that reports about violence against women is actually handled by the police now. Mostly to fill in the vatnik quotas to send to the front.

  • Considering Ukraine has a rule about not holding an election during crisis (Invasion by Russia), can't say the country is Undemocratic, mate.

    Not to mention that shitload of citizens are all over the world, and another shitton under Russian occupation.

    Unless you see those people undeserving of a vote, there is no seriously possible way to hold an election.

    Not to mention, that no good leader would allow it's people to live under the rule of Putin. Life is bloody insane for your average Russian. 40% spent on food alone. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russians-spending-food-doubles-following-ukraine-war-un-food-agency-2022-04-08/

    And all this because the largest country in the world wanted more land. They have all the resources they would ever need.

  • A lot of larger foss projects do open up a foundation or another legal entity. Mostly due to regulations or dealing with donations. But it's hard to call them enterprises

  • Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away

    Jump

  • Open source should be funded by the tax-payers, or all code should be forcibly open-source (something like AGPL)

    Any other models feels like they would create perverse incentives

    Also recurring donations feels like a better way than one-time tips

  • Considering that Quest is sold at a loss and tries to make money forcing you to buy games, I don't think it's likely

  • What even is a Victory Plan for Russia at this point? Unlikely that putting small infiltration teams into forward areas is a good way to hold occupied land.

  • Russians dying en masse for my amusement :3 TZD!

    By the looks of it, the end goal looks like just lose enough troops to not get outed from the power structure. The whole invasion is the most idiotic thing I'll probably witness in my lifetime

  • Hey you've been dealt a shit hand, but it might be less shitty if you help us kill people who don't deserve it

    And you choose to defend the evil choice?

    By the way, shit looks way worse if you go to the front and only then decide to avoid the meatwaves.

    Dragging tied to a truck, beating to death with a metal pole, forced starvation in a metal barrel, forced to fight to death with others who refused...

    Really not surprised seeing hundreds of videos where the Russian draftees just off themselves
