  • Not only that, he is also boosting far-right parties like AfD vehemently. It seems that with his newfound political power he will try to instigate the ascent of as much fascist parties to power as is possible for an influential multimillionaire. He might be a lunatic, but in no way is he a complete fool.

    And what liberals are doing to counter him are of course insufficient.

    goes on to rant about the rise of far-right in the EU

    Their politicians and like-minded journalists can shout all they want about how Russian propaganda corrupts the EU from within, and call for banning Russian media outlets, but when it comes to USA and Elon Musk in particular, we can only ‘condemn his intervention’ into the politics of European countries. No one would possibly think about blocking X or the like. No one would lift a finger to actually prevent him from spearheading the rise of the far-right in the EU. I’m usually optimistic but it can’t be helped if 80 years after USSR crushed the Nazi Germany more and more countries are drifting to the right. Germany, France, Austria, Greece, Italy, what the heck is happening to Europe? Have we forgotten?

















  • 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.

    I second on KDE but don’t really know about GNOME since it is has a radically different paradigm and is also hard to customize (extensions, tweaks, etc.). Not saying that in a bad way though.

    Never used an immutable district but sounds like a good recommendation if you have disk space to spare.

    I will also be happy to assist!
