  • .i ui ja’a go’eee :3 .i xu do pu’i se bangu la .lojban (Yesss :3 Can you speak Lojban?)

    No, I don’t but I love conlangs! (Actually I tried to learn it once buy didn’t get far, heh). What I like about lojban and loglan is how opinionated and strikingly different it looks from everything else.

    I didn’t consider different fonts, that may help hehe, thank you

    Fonts indeed can make a big difference, especially if you can find some of those fancy fonts that were included on CDs back in the day on some old FTP site. Or else good old Comic Sans, Impact or Bauhaus will do just fine. After all, 90s aesthetics were often kind of garish ;)

    Forgive late replies I feel quite quite awful today

    I really hope that you will feel better soon!






  • More and more often it looks to me like the prevalent view of propaganda is “if something breaks my worldview then it’s propaganda”. And living in a western country anti-American and anti-EU sentiment or even just presenting countries like China, Russia, DPRK, etc. is often attributed to foreign propaganda.

    Idk I hate how no official here calls out Isra-l for its hasbara but everybody seems so concerned with Russian “propaganda” that they’d rather enforce a full blown censhorship. This stance is such a joke that some people have indeed simply stopped caring. Most do seem to believe or at least pay attention to what the state says through its media and it does seem here like the state calling out stuff as propaganda has at least its share of “effectivity” on the people.

    PS. Sorry if the comment is confusing, my point is that how effective state calling out information as propaganda is depends a lot on the receiving end, aka the people. A lot seem to be inclined to accept the state/EU/US narrative on what is propaganda and what is not, but others have become critical to it due to its stance on the Palestinian issue.









  • Apparently they have just been removed from the MAINTAINERS file for now but it is not yet known if this will have any implications for their ability to send patches for inclusion in the kernel. If the latter proves to be the case, some of the drivers might end up unmaintained until another person gains enough trust to become a maintainer. This will surely affect support for the Russian BAIKAL processors, for example.

    Apparently the removed contributors can return only if they provide some sort of “documentation” (not specified which though). They can still work on the kernel, but now they are not able to directly merge changes into the codebase, they can only send patches which may or may not be accepted. Or they could organise and create an independent Linux kernel fork which they would have to keep up to date by merging code from the upstream.

    This much I understood from the news and comments.
