@thor I mean, there certainly are some far-right guys in Ukraine — like in every other country. And it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. The Ukrainian right wing nationalists were right, now that Russia really attacked!
All that the sane Russians feel now is shame. And powerlessness unfortunately. We did let the state turn into the monster we have now, but now it's not only us who suffer.
@thor Exactly!
But this hatred was fueled for some reason since the very collapse of the USSR, since the 90-ies. I don't know why. When I went to Kyiv I've felt safer there than when I was in Moscow. No one had any problems with Russia or Russians, when Russia didn't try to act like the "older brother" and just left them alone.
But a lot of Russians never travel — because they are too poor. So they can be fed any propaganda bullshit like Ukrainian Nazis — how crazy is that?
@thor You're absolutely right! The economy started to decline long time ago, that is why the first part of this war happened in 2014 I think. It was bad enough, but it stopped then, the economy started to recover.
No one expected COVID though. It was a terrible blow so they wanted the same patriotic rise as in 2014, but Ukrainians became stronger as a nation and stood up for themselves. And now Putin can't just back out, he will look weak, so this meaningless massacre goes on 😭
@thor Yes, it's really sad 😢
The society lost control of the state here long time ago and now good people feel powerless, most are poisoned with vile propaganda — it's like waking up in a WW2 Germany, so surreal! At least I'm mentally stable, but a lot of sane ones start losing their shit when they start thinking about what's really happening.
I knew they'd throw something like that to stay in power, they've tried Kazakhstan incursion first in January, but I couldn't imagine it would be this bad
@thor I always considered our languages very different, but both really complicated. I'm in fact surprised we have words that are phonetically close. Because it's borrowed in both languages, I suppose.
Russian is like French, but with Slavic words and Cyrillic alphabet. Sounds crazy, right? 😅
It's really good for poetry, but not for general usage and really hard to learn I think. I've never really liked it myself and admired English — how it's really easy to use, still beautiful.
@thor I don't think that they have the opposite meaning in fact. Etymologically it should mean you both happen at the same time and move in the same direction e.g. work in the same market, thus you're competitors.
Russian word конкурент is phonetically close and has the same meaning as in Norsk.
@mia Depends on what subgenre of jazz that is. If it is some punk-jazz thing, also run 🤣
Same holds true for electronic music I suppose. If it is dark ambient… 🤪
As for classical music I think some really fscked up stuff like Pierre Boulez's works will do just fine 🤭

@Mirk0dex Aah, bluez is fine! 😅
Actually it's wasn't that hard, I've just set it up! I didn't know bluealsa existed and thought that using PA was mandatory.
I'm not sure if it is possible to stream audio from Firefox to Bluetooth speaker as I use a wrapper apulse (otherwise audio input doesn't work at all — apparently, Mozilla wants you to use Pulse), but mpv works without a hitch!
#VoidLinux still kicks ass! I just love how straightforward and robust this distro is!
@utkorose Боже мой, мне даже смотреть больно как она по снегу в купальнике бегает! 🥶
@tomxcd@fedi.nullob.si I've set up a https-dns-proxy on my router that forwards the requests to Hurricane Electric and OpenDNS and forgot about CloudFlare DNS, Google DNS, my ISP's DNS — all of them.
I think you can also set something like this up on Android phone, it uses some other protocol (DNS over TLS?), but it's possible to use something more trustworthy like Mullvad this way.
I think it's the most sane thing to do. Having resolver requests unencrypted in the age of surveillance is wrong.
@cel Finnegan's Wake? Seriously?!!!
I'm a big fan of Joyce, but I'm not able to read that, this book is just incomprehensible! 😅
@thor What a fluffball! 😻
@cel Hey, I'm playing my set in a small club in Berlin! WTF?!! 🤣
@aadil Oh, FFS! When I read about this flood I couldn't even imagine the scale 😱
@david OMG, this tail looks really scary 🙀
One of my cats does this too, but her tail is really short, like three inches and it looks even scarier — like some weird extension of her body 😹

@Evv1L Наконец-то это будет закреплено законодательно, а то всё ходили вокруг, да около!
