I think you would find that bombs being dropped at night on your city, country, your friends and loved ones, schools, theatres ans hospitals, by a "brotherly nation", whose leader speaks a lot about your country being fake, over the pretence of fighting some "nazis" apparently, would do much more to directly influence your free will than Youtube.

Do you think we have no free will here in Ukraine or something? It's so easy for you to dehumanize us as some puppets who have no agency and are "sent", "made", blah blah blah. Fuck off.

Thank you.

I just don't like the pushback against this meme, when all it says is "Yes, US imperailism is bad, it doesn't mean that Stalin did nothing wrong", but for some reason people push back with "US imperialism is bad FULLSTOP, shut up about everything else". Which is exactly how Nortb Korea-glorifying tankies behave. I may have lumped your comment in with those, sorry for that.

The whole point of the OP is that being against US imperialism doesn't mean you have to be very purposefully silent about yhe atrocities committed by the US geopolitical rivals because they are US enemies therefore good.

It's a very prevalent thing about US lefties, if you're not aware, I'm telling it to you, as a Ukrainian lefty myself. I agree, fuck Apple and Starbucks (never had one and heard from friends it's shit). Also fuck Russia for killing a bunch of my friends and fuck those US "leftists" like Chomsky, who suck Russian dicks.

People that are being literally killed, tortured, displaced, bombed, denied their identity, starved, raped, genocided right now by China/Russia/North Korea, looking for any support, any help from anyone willing to give it

A Leftist American: US is the biggest source of imperialism in the world and you're not being oppressed by the US, so you're not real. Have a good day. takes a privileged slurp from the huge cup of Starbucks and closes his Macbook

No, I don't think so. Should I? I have a vague memory about seeing Jamendo in Rhythmbox when it shipped in Ubuntu by default. It was a long time ago, I didn't even know it was still a thing.

I had some problems caused by different package versions between main workstation (Ubuntu) and Debian. Deluge refused to connect in thin client mode because the version in Debian was older and incompatible with newer version in Ubuntu. I had a server upgrade coming up, reinstall was in order anyway, and I decided to just go with Ubuntu. Livepatch is nice as well, and although snaps aren't great, there is usecase for them as well sometimes.

I am allergic to cats and have allowed a cat to rub it's head against my face multiple times, because that cat was a bro (and I had loratadine).

Also don't really like cats in general because most of them are jerks, just that specific one was, as I mentioned, a bro.

Switched from Debian to Ubuntu LTS few years ago.

I never liked suggestions/radios on any streaming platform - GPM, Apple, Deezer, Spotify, they're all shit.

I use streaming platforms solely for checking out new music that picked my interest on sites like RYM, albumoftheyear, anydecentmusic, Quietus, Picthfork, etc. If I like what I hear, I acquire it either on Bandcamp or on Soulseek and into Plex it goes.

Bright text on dark background hurts my eyes. It's like it burns in on my vision. As another commenter says, it stays before my eyes after I look away Dark text on light background feels natural, like a newspaper or a book. I use warm color temperatures after dark, it's very comfy.
