@BogLoper @noelreports NATO did not invade those countries, nor did it force them to join. Those countries wanted to join themselves. They spent considerable efforts to even be allowed to join. Other countries are still begging to be let into NATO and yet NATO doesn't let them join.

If Canada or Mexico want to join CSTO, they are free to do it. They are sovereign countries. If US doesn't like it, too bad for US. US is not some kind of moral authority, their actions don't determine what's good.

@fsfe 200 IQ move. Next time they should try "Apple is not a company, so laws don't apply to us".

@Methylcobalamin @noelreports I hope it's some disinfectant. I know iodine leaves stains on the skin, though of a different color.

@itsfoss Feral's Game Mode sounds useful, I have to try it someday. Some launchers like Lutris automatically enable it when you launch a game.

@itsfoss Yet another lesson why proprietary services are to be avoided. I hope more people will learn this lesson and move to free software alternatives like PeerTube.

@brahms @eff @legind There are a lot of devices that don't get updated and a lot of devices that only get the bare minimum of security patches. Most devices are unable to resist an adversary with physical access.

@SomeAnoTooter @itsfoss From the article: Ente has an optional cloud backup (+ compatible desktop apps) and an ability to peek the next code. It's optionally offline, while Aegis is always offline.

@noelreports It's not the first time I see Russian AA missiles failing to detonate when passing near drones. Are their fuses not suitable against drones? Do the drones employ some countermeasures to confuse the missiles?

This is how Russia treats its prisoners of war. Ukrainian servicemen Roman Horilik returned home on May 31. He was one of the national guards, protecting the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and got captured in March 2022. You can see how starved he is. His body is skin and bones.

@johas @fsfe I wouldn't define it; it's the first time I hear this term. Taken literally, it would mean proprietary software that claims to be open source, but I have never heard of such a thing (other than people forgetting to include a LICENSE file on GitHub in small new projects, but a bug report solves it).

Overall, the claim that "OpenWashing has become a growing issue in the Free Software community" seems to be really silly because no definition I can think of can make this claim true.

@itsfoss Gedit for simple GUI editing, Neovim for everything else.

@roberams @noelreports Training. Recently there was news about 10 pilots graduating from main training and going into advanced training. So those ten aren't even finished, let alone other pilots, support crews and possibly commanders.

I suspect that there are also some infrastructural investments Ukraine has to do before receiving the planes.

@noelreports So far, even Poland - a NATO and EU member bordering with Russia - doesn't have any nuclear sharing deals, so talks about Ukraine getting one soon and actually using it offensively are extremely silly.

@Jos_B @noelreports Ukraine is being flooded with armed "immigrants" from Russia.

@vintprox @itsfoss That child window behavior in Gnome is annoying, but can be changed using Gnome Tweak app.

@michal @itsfoss I think I dealt with it by setting hardware clock to UTC and changing some setting in Windows to reflect that. I suspect that doing the opposite is also viable.

@itsfoss I want to finally see accurate, multi-language voice typing that has zero setup other than installing a single package (or preferably, out of the box).

And I want to see an assistant like Siri/Alexa/Cortana that works locally on-device.

@noelreports It's stated at 16:45. From what I understand, Poland did not change its mind. It simply never had any restrictions on use of Polish weapons.
