  • That assumes Azov is a run-of-the-mill Neo-Nazi group while they are much more. The white führer — that's what Azov's leader goes by btw — has said that his mission is to, "to spur the white races of the world towards a final crusade...against the Semite-led Untermenschen".

    Before the war you had western media reporting on them in a matter of fact way:

    In January 2018, Azov rolled out its street patrol unit called National Druzhyna to “restore” order in the capital, Kyiv. Instead, the unit carried out pogroms against the Roma community and attacked members of the LGBTQ community. — alJazeera

    A 2016 report by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OCHA) accused the Azov regiment of violating international humanitarian law. The report detailed incidents over a period from November 2015-February 2016 where Azov had embedded their weapons and forces in used civilian buildings, and displaced residents after looting civilian properties. The report also accused the battalion of raping and torturing detainees in the Donbas region.

    The Azov Battalion is emerging as a critical node in the transnational right-wing violent extremist (RWE) network. This group maintains its own ‘Western Outreach Office' to help recruit and attract foreign fighters that travel to train and connect with people from like-minded violent organizations from across the globe. Operatives from the outreach office travel around Europe to promote the organization and proselytize its mission of white supremacy. In July 2018, German-language fliers were distributed among the visitors at a right-wing rock festival in Thuringia, inviting them to be part of the Azov battalion: ‘join the ranks of the best' to ‘save Europe from extinction.' It has also established youth camps, sporting recreation centers, lecture halls, and far-right education programs, including some that teach children as young as 9 years old military tactics and far-right ideology. This aggressive approach to networking serves one of the Azov Battalion’s overarching objectives to transform areas under its control in Ukraine into the primary hub for transnational white supremacy. — Soufan Center

    We are concerned about rising nationalism in Ukraine and the government’s seeming unwillingness to rein it in. Ukraine’s international donors and supporters should be very worried,” — Tanya Cooper, Ukraine researcher for Human Rights Watch.

    The Israeli Foreign Ministry and its embassy in Kiev have in fact issued multiple statements denouncing the veneration of such figures. In January 2022, the diplomatic mission described that year’s annual “Torch March” commemorating Bandera’s birthday as “desecrating the memory of the victims of the Holocaust in Ukraine.” Far-right extremist groups in Ukraine have also gained political currency in the past decade, none more chilling than Svoboda (formerly the Social National Party of Ukraine), whose leader claimed the country was controlled by a “Muscovite-Jewish mafia.” Svoboda has sent several members to Ukraine’s Parliament, including one who called the Holocaust a “bright period” in human history, according to Foreign Policy — Times of Israel

    No one should be giving Neo-Nazis a pass because they are on the "good side"; which should have been the line that Ukraine took as it already has a horrifying history of anti-semitism. You can support any side you want but sidelining a very real problem because Putin used it as a propaganda point is beyond ridiculous.

  • The Nazi thing isn't Russian propaganda though? Of course Putin doesn't stop spouting that as one of his reasons for the invasion, or maybe even blowing it out of proportion, but Ukraine does in fact have a Neo-Nazi problem. Haven't you seen the Bandera worship that goes on in there, or the Azov fascists? Ignoring it outright as Russia propaganda will be detrimental for post-war reconstruction, especially as inaction might just lead to the Neo-Nazis taking power.

  • You're comparing apples to oranges. Attempting to change "homeless" to "un-housed" is different from just not using a slur — you're assuming that non-derogatory terms don't exist for neurodiverse people; there are no "improvements" to be made, just exercising some discretion. You shouldn't be using slurs just because it'll turn acceptable soon or because everyone else is using it; if there are people that feel hurt by it and have a history of being marginalized by such usage, you don't have the right to use it; that is if you are a morally sound person that doesn't care about BS buzzwords like "political correctness".

  • Perhaps you have the address bar at the top? It works just fine when it is set to that position as I found out just now. So it might just be a bug that manifests when the address bar is set to be at the bottom.

  • Yeah I don't know why other commenters here are surprised by the most bog standard leftist position

  • a civil war

    If sending strongly worded letters and spewing out-of-touch comments while the other side cripples any form of opposition is considered belligerency then sure.

  • The protest was not only about the social media ban, people didn't give away their lives for a "social media company", no matter what some imbeciles claim, this is also parroted by international news agencies. Nepal has a culture of corruption centered around the three major parties that has achieved a crescendo with a slew of outrageous bills (some of the more egregious being: tracking all movements of tourists, ministers getting to set their own pay, removing age limits for public posts), the straw that broke the camel's back was the ban on social media with their vague requirements that was clearly a way to impose control. And by the way, they didn't shoot adults, they shot and killed kids that came from school with their bags still on them, who are still unidentified by the way.

    I'd even add that even if this were only protesting the social media ban, it would be totally valid unless you like being cucked by your government. You yourself and the community should be an agent in controlling one's problems surrounding things like social media not your government that thinks you don't have enough agency for it.

  • They only implement DNS blocking so you have to change your DNS and everything will work again — this is also the case with their ban on porn sites. It's just an inconvenience to the citizens, all because they aren't competent enough to manage "criminal activites".

  • Google's control over the internet will harm all users as they scram further to find places where profit can be squeezed more and more until they're functionally bankrupt.

  • I'd say there is some truth in that; Russia has gained momentum and Pokrovsk will very likely fall soon — Europe isn't aiding Ukraine because it cares about the people there, let's establish that, they've shown their humanity with Gaza, they have their own imperialistic aims — to prevent this they need American support —more so since Russia's state run military complex is outdoing the EU's production combined — which will, in my opinion, only start another American war that never goes anywhere, only bringing suffering to Ukrainians. Ukrainian army's morale is down, at least from what I hear, recruitment is forced, protests are breaking out, Zelensky isn't getting re-elected after the war ends and he says he won't give one inch of land; the war will persist, should he surrender? I don't know, I'm not the Ukrainian people, but I don't know what else they can do right now. I just hope the Ukrainian people won't suffer.

  • This is so annoying. Whenever I want to use page search my muscle memory clicks some random button instead. It would've been acceptable if this accomodated new features but it doesn't add anything at all and only makes it stick out from the other UI elements in the app.

  • Je suis en train d'apprendre le français aussi. J'espère que je comprendrai cette langue bientôt et que je pourrai écrire un paragraphe plus long. J'espère que vous passez un bon moment avec cette langue.

  • Have you considered the following:

  •  
        
    function seesv
        column -s, -t < $argv[1] | less -#2 -N -S
    end
    
    
      

    I used this a lot when I had to deal with CSV files — it simply shows the data in a nice format. It's an alias for the fish shell by the way.

  • Electrocuting elephants has gone out of fashion, now it's killing monkeys with brain implants.

  • It's all so tiresome, the machine controls you no matter what; any collective effort is futile when everyone is divided. There government runs mass surveillance programs on its on citizens and you're powerless against it; there are people living in hell and there is nothing you can do about it — whose crimes are they paying for? It's to divide, always to divide.

  • I've found that AI is only good at solving programming problems that are relatively "small picture" — or if it has to do with the basics of a language — anything else that it provides a solution for you will have to re-write completely once you consult with the language's standards and best practices.
