Reads like a non-story: There is no quote with praise for Russian imperialism. The only real quote is one not endorsing imperialistic notions.

In general, the Vatican appears to support Ukraine.

Ah, yes the memories. I followed it pretty closely, happily forgot most of it. I’m somehow reminded of Groklaw.

A case could probably be made for either side. Russia supposedly has done this before in Georgia

A lot of speculation, uncertainty and hypotheticals. The west will continue to support Ukraine against Russia.

I have used it as a daily driver. My biggest issue was the nix language. If I was to go back, I would invest more time in learning nix.

RIP. A legend.

Reads like Russian propaganda. Does anyone believe this?

2008, when Russian forces invaded Georgia?

An Australian citizen = Julian Assange

So you would give up your nukes?

Endless warnings with no meaningful actions to de-escalate.

You would nuke your enemy, right?

Russia should be held accountable in both cases.

For me the difference is using cluster munitions in defense of your country. It’s not by choice, it’s by necessity. Like most nuclear powers will use nuclear weapons in existential defense. Rightfully in my opinion.

Here is Pentagon again as of July 6, 2023: Brigadier General Pat Ryder: “I would note that the Russians have already been employing cluster munitions on the battlefield, many with very – which included very high dud rate reportedly.”

Also cluster munitions used by Russia

I wouldn’t be surprised if both sides have been using them.

Agree. Russia is guilty of using cluster munitions, and they started the war. They need to stop on both counts.

Two things:

1. Russia is using cluster munitions
2. Russia started the war

Not using it anymore. Although I’m thinking about going back to it. The NixOS learning curve is a bit more steep than most other distros.

Yes absolutely. It is really great. It is also a source of frustration, e.g., missing configuration options, non-obvious options and so on. Overall it works well.

I used NixOS for a couple of years. My experience is like this:

1. It is a rolling release (mostly)
2. You write a declarative configuration for your system, e.g., my config will say I want Neovim with certain plugins, and I can also include my Neovim configuration
3. It is stable, and when it breaks it is easy to go back
4. Packages are mostly bleeding edge
