Such an abomination! That is absolutely insane! 😱

When will they start providing those who aren't deemed useful enough with a ticket to the meat grinder? 😅

BTW I have no idea what emacs client for Fedi looks like — I have zero doubts there is one, maybe more than one even, but never cared enough to look into it.

@pyrate
I believe, by default it uses xdg-open — which would use whatever program you have associated with the file type in your desktop environment. But you can of course change that in its config, I use mpv for videos, feh for images and cmus for audio.

You only need Go to build. It's quite nice once you get used to it!

Oh… 🤭
I always forget there is a setting for that, for me everything is expaned when using the web frontend 🤣

@newt
You would never clog my timeline this way, I'm reading Fedi from terminal 😎

Через полевой телефон, надо думать? А потом их лишат всей собственности за экстремизм? 😏

@kevinrothrock
Nice addition to the collection of head of the Constitutional Court vouching for the restoration of serfdom and the head of the Investigative Committee speaking in the support for the death penalty in the land of traditional values!
I suppose that's their role — to make Pooteen look sane against their background 🤷

Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Russia’s official govt newspaper, publishes an essay by lawyer Ilya Rusyaev where he says the verdict against the Nevzorovs should be a model for outlawing more “extremist families” and various “small social groups.” Truly demented. rg.ru/2024/07/03/reg-szfo/iuri

Japan: everything is so hi-tech, even the toilet has electronics in it 🤩
Also Japan: insert disk labelled "#5" into drive A: 🤪

@iska
Get a serious software dev job and you would hate computers with passion for the rest of your life 😂
Tinkering with computers is fine as hobby, but when you start depending on it… It's a unique kind of despair: you start hating computers, hating yourself, hating people using computers, hating everything… The burnout is severe, every time I resigned, I promised myself to never do it again, but as time passes I start thinking of it as of fun hobby again 🤪

@kravietz
I have zero hope for this happening gradually — it didn't happen with the dissolution of USSR and now that the state institutions are in an even more dire condition.
And if so — the centralisation will return with time and history will repeat itself. But… parts of USSR that became independent — sure, most didn't become wealthy countries, but they aren't that bad either (again, at least most aren't waging wars on their neighbours 😏).
So… Is historical Russia even worth preserving? 🤷

@kravietz
: it's easier to hold negotiations when there is one point of authority, not when there are dozen of them — and last, but not least, there is smaller risk of someone unpredictable (yes, even more unpredictable 🤭) taking control over the nuclear arsenal…
But I'm not sure it's such a good idea — it would probably get messy if Russia dissolves, it might become a total clusterfuck… But at least with time there is a chance for proper decentralisation and strong local governance.

@kravietz
If he fails to deliver on the battlefield, the so-called "vertical of power" might start faltering.
True, there is Prime Minister, there is Parliament, there is Security Council even — but do those have any power over actors like Kadyrov? I highly doubt that!
The outcome of him losing authority might indeed be very unpredictable. The international community — every other state in fact, including China even, is probably interested in preserving Russia's statehood.

@kravietz
As much as I hate do admit it, I think this is one of the rare occasions when he's speaking the truth.
> Putin is Russia and Russia is Putin, so Putin’s strategic failure spells the end of Russia as we know it today
Sadly, that IS so — that's the result of hierarchy he had himself built. Currently, all the disputes are resolved through him, there are no institutions to replace him with — he had eliminated them all.

@Hyolobrika
And of course this never gets investigated, unless said official misbehaves at at later time and has to be punished — in this case yes, a big anti-corruption investigation. This is exactly how they are held in line: you go against the system — you lose everything, remember?
