ukrainian nationalism (including its heinous forms) goes at least as far back as the russian revolution/civil war, and ideologically originated in late 19th century. but again, it was developed in response to the no less vicious russian imperialism

You will notice that all of these stories are after 2014 though. The fascist movements was formed quite rapidly, but it was still in response to aggression by the Russian government and military, pardon, the Donetsk “miners and tractor drivers”. These new fascists (Azov batallion a prime example ) were/are made up of Russian speakers from eastern Ukraine!! Not the stereotypical russophobes from lviv.

Gee I wonder what actions of the Russian military or their “polite people” in eastern Ukraine might have led to this??

lmao I’m jealous at how easy the Russian propagandists have it sometimes

hm. Our first computer has windows 98 and it definitely didn’t have it

I don’t think disc-based distribution of software is coming back in the foreseeable future

It was only in some kind of dlc pack (what?) for windows. The first real os it was included in was xp. I thought we all agreed not to talk about windows me

Just went into a fugue state and got 10 million points this game is as great as I remember

What are cheats? Tilting the table?

now i’m sad that this is (afaik) impossible in the future with everything switching to wayland

yeah i’m thinking that if you want you might be able to wrangle this into a semi permanent job

On bluesky/atproto, your handle is a hostname and is only recognized valid if you control that hostname. Basically the same as rel=me except it’s a .well-known file instead of a html tag

This was true for a while but they’re updating the sync protocol to support sharding etc. people are running full network relays off a raspberry pi

The authentication parts uses a standard w3c developed format called DID. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_identifier it’s basically a more general form of a url that must point to a specially formatted file. There are several did methods. atproto supports did:web which stores the doc at a user-set http URL path, and also did:PLC which stores the doc in a special database controlled by bsky. They plan (hopefully) add more methods in the future.

But yeah, the currently supported did:web authentication method is fully independent of bsky inc

The concept of democracy came about around that time too (at least the Greek one, which arguably wasn’t the first but I digress)

The Athenian concept of democracy had existed for the better part of a millennium by the time Christianity appeared.

Yes, which is why the USSR never once in its history claimed to have built communism. The best they claimed was “developed socialism” with promises to build Communism someday

They don’t even use absurd amounts of energy. I literally have one running on my computer at home

People get these confused a lot, but russia has 2 coups in the 90s-

1991 was a failed anti-reformist “left wing” coup that deposed Gorbachev and ended with the fall of the USSR and Yeltsin in power.

1993 was a successful right wing self-coup that allowed Yeltsin to fully consolidate power away from the Russian parliament and towards the presidency. More hamfisted and violent, but in essence similar to what is happening in the US right now

It might, but actual leftists should object to that framing
