Going off of the comments already, I would say that this is a truly unpopular opinion. Well done, OP!

I don’t know what I was expecting but this is somehow worse.

Your words are meaningless and you are unpleasant to speak with. You should learn how to read and then you’ll understand the workflow that is clearly documented. Bye.

I don’t care who you are or what your credentials are. Open-source projects value contributions, not just commentary. If you had a ready solution, the constructive approach would be to submit a PR. This community prioritizes a collaborative spirit and problem-solving, not individual resumes. The developers handled the issue appropriately considering their workflow and other priorities. In this space, actions and respectful communication speak louder than titles.

It wasn’t ignored; the day it was opened, it was labeled, indicating awareness. Developers of open-source projects like Lemmy juggle many tasks. Patience is appreciated.

Why should Western nations continue to open their arms to those who persecute Christians arbitrarily for their faith? No one should live in fear of the state due to their beliefs. This drift toward fascism is alarming, and it strays significantly from the principles of tolerance and mutual respect that our forefathers advocated.

Lol I will not purchase a Tesla out of principle. I get your point though. It feels like we have some ways to go before the used EV market is actually competitive, but I am hopeful for the future.

Your points are well-made, yet they lean heavily on historical precedent while missing recent dynamics. Although past foreign interference is notable, current geopolitics require fresh evidence to assert foreign involvement. Africa is indeed a growing geopolitical theatre, but the narrative isn’t solely about external actors - the agency of African states and citizens plays a crucial role. Dismissing them risks oversimplifying the complex reality.

I haven’t purchased an EV because they’re more expensive than an equivalent ICE vehicle. My current vehicle cost me $2,500 USD. My hope is that the used EV market continues to expand while economies of scale push prices down.

It’s crucial to remember that Niger is a key western ally in the fight against Islamist militancy in West Africa. Therefore, direct involvement from countries such as the KSA, China, or Russia seems less likely, as it would conflict with their international relations and objectives.

While it’s conceivable that non-state actors could have a hand in the unrest, available information doesn’t provide concrete evidence for this claim. It’s also worth noting that jihadist groups in the region are not homogenous, and often have differing interests, making their involvement in political coups complicated and less probable.

However, you rightly point out that these situations are rarely as simple as they appear. The truth may well be a mix of local grievances and foreign influences, given the complex and interconnected nature of global politics. Until there’s more information, though, any assertions remain largely speculative.

 

Happy 4th of July!

 

The U.S. Supreme Court's recent term ended with a flurry of conservative-leaning decisions that have been met with shock and disapproval, particularly from the left. This conservative trend is seen as a reflection of the 6-3 conservative majority established during Trump's presidency. Noteworthy rulings include siding with a web designer who refused services to same-sex couples, ending affirmative action in colleges, and dismissing President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan.

 

Justice Samuel Alito has outstripped Justice Clarence Thomas to become the most conservative justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Buckle up, folks, because we're diving back into the frontlines of Russian politics. And let me tell you, it's wilder than a vodka-fueled bear wrestling match.

Our man of the hour, Yevgeny Prigozhin (read: owner of Wagner Group, aka Russia's freelance death squad), is turning the tables in a way none of us saw coming. His shocking rebellion against Putin’s military brass has sparked a chain reaction of chaos that promises to make our Netflix dramas look like child's play.

First off, Prigozhin's goons – Wagner Group – managed to waltz into the Russian city of Rostov without resistance. Yep, that’s right. Prigozhin claims Russian border guards stepped aside, and young conscripts at checkpoints allowed his forces to pass with a mere shrug. It’s like Russia’s version of "The Purge" is happening right before our eyes, and the government is scrambling to respond.

Prigozhin’s open challenge to Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu seems to have caught the Kremlin off guard. Apparently, Prigozhin is on a warpath, accusing Shoigu of sanctioning rocket strikes on Wagner's field camps in Ukraine. Talk about friendly fire, huh?

And what's Putin doing about this? Not much, it seems. The FSB is scrambling to arrest Prigozhin, but so far, the man's whereabouts remain unknown. Even the Kremlin’s Chief Prosecutor is getting involved, threatening up to 20 years imprisonment for anyone calling for an armed rebellion. Riot police and the National Guard are on the streets in Moscow and Rostov-on-Don, trying to hold together a rapidly fracturing power structure.

Remember when Putin had the luxury of denying any infighting among his top brass? Those days are over. Prigozhin's power play is shattering the illusion of unity in Putin's regime and making Putin's so-called 'rigidly controlled rule' look more like a fumbling improv performance.

Meanwhile, Wagner forces are preparing for a showdown. In a chilling statement, Prigozhin declared, “We will destroy anyone who stands in our way. We are moving forward and will go until the end.” This isn't just a threat – it’s a declaration of war.

But let's not forget the real heroes in this mess: the Ukrainians. Despite the chaos unfolding in Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is standing firm. He's calling for international attention to the potential disaster at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, where six reactors have been shut down amidst fears of an attack by Russian forces. The courage of Ukrainians in the face of this massive threat is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

The story's still unfolding, but one thing's clear: Putin's stranglehold on power is slipping. Whether Prigozhin’s rebellion will be the catalyst for broader change in Russia or not, it has exposed deep fractures in Putin’s regime. All the while, Ukraine continues to face their challenges with bravery and tenacity.

Keep your eyes on Ukraine, folks. Despite all odds, they're still standing strong.
