If Mozilla gets blocked, people would just install some other browser (probably, something from Russia). I do not see how this helps anyone but the government itself. And departure of hundreds (if not thousands) of western companies did nothing to the Russian government, some problems with a browser with almost non-existent userbase would have the same effect. It should be quite clear by now that such tactic simply does not work.
Sorry for giving a rather useless advice. Of cause, you know about native packages, but since you are asking about flatpak, you, probably, have a reason to chose it. So, my original message was mostly intended as a joke, for which I am sorry.
Native packages? Sorry.
Well, it’s up to you to decide if advantages of a distro are more significant to you then disadvantages.
I would argue that the best part about void is not actually runit and xbps, but minimalist dependencies.
I wouldn’t care about unofficial status of hyprland package, since it is unofficial in most distros.
And about the lack of some software. There is a thing, called xdeb, that allows you to automatically convert any deb package to xbps package (with correct dependencies). You can even automatically install them from any deb repository via xdeb-install tool.
Sorry, I am not familiar with foreign stereotypes. In Russia we usually picture people in India as wise people. I, of cause meaned uneducated on this matter (Russian politics), not in general. Sorry if my poor choice of words hurt you.
Guy, maybe my English is so bad, that you cannot understand my point. You continue to argue against thesises that I have never made. I am not going to answer to this message. I have already understood that your opinion, revisionist and uneducated from my point of view. You have already heard my opinion, which you also probably consider foolish. And there is not much that can be done here. I do not think anyone else is reading this thread at this point.
It is far less nonsensical than your argument “I heard some lib say something so it must be false”. It was also almost everyone in Russia, aside from libs, who demanded SVO. By the way, KPRF demanded it so hard, that they (what a coincidence!) decided to put it on the vote in duma only in 2022, right after Putin prepared an army for that. I think even you won’t that it is not something that you can do in one month. Zyuganov can talk whatever he wanted, but his speeches are not supported by his actions. Zhirinovsky also talked about donbas, does it make LDPR a communist party? If we use this argument the best one would be Limonov and naz-bol party, who sent troops to fight for Donbas in 2014.
As for Marxism, your analysis based on arguments “I heard some lib say it”, “The KPRF has K in it’s name”, “Zyuganov supports Putin, so he must be communist” is far better. Marxist analysis should be based on reality. If your analysis is based on “I don’t want to hear anything, I don’t want to check anything, I once heard some lib, made my opinion and gonna stick with it” then your Marxism is non-existing.
By the way, your argument about Zyuganov supporting SVO is especially funny. Do you know who else support SVO? Russian nazi, like DShRG “Rusich”, like Russian Imperial Corpus etc. What a bunch of communists!
Well, if you do not agree - that is your choice. Everyone in Russia agrees on that and that is more credible source from my perspective. When it is everyone vs one, one is wrong. News articles from past and present, encyclopedias, vitnesses all share the same opinion on the matter. Your beliefs are your beliefs. There is not much that can be done about them. I, as a Russian and SVO supporter have another opinion. But I think that those communist, who live in Russia and vitnessed KPRF’s work are more trusted source, than tbise, who live outside and are just inversing everything that the west has ever said.
Boris was arrested because he was an idiot, who had poor judjement in what someone should and should not say.
I don’t understand what you are trying to prove here? I know that there are some people who call themselves left and support fascism. I am not referring to them. I say that scepticism about KPRF is shared among almost every political movement on Russia. If some idiots use this argument it does not make it any less valid. I also do not know what “karvolitsy” is. If you are referring to Kagarlitsky, then I am not referring to him. He is a known clown and he does not have any connection to Russian communists. I am talking about different left organizations in Russia, like RKRP, Rot front, VKPB, skp-kpss etc.
KPRF being created by the bourgeois is shared opinion among everyone in Russia but KPRF itself. Open website of any Russian left movement and see what they think about KPRF. Because it is a fact it can be used by anyone including right-wingers, yes. Right-wingers can even say that the earth is round, but it does not mean that it is in fact flat.
Why do you think I simp for CPC? I just do not want to discuss here if it is communist party or not since it is a complicated matter. But for the record I do not like current policy of CPC. But CPC does not repress left movement in Russia, KPRF does. Russian communists learn from past fails, yes. Only, communists are not in control of KPRF. There are some communists in that party, but on regional level. There ate many comunists in other parties in Russia as well. Only those parties are not allowed to be registered and participate in elections. As for Putin attitude with KPRF it would be fine if not for his attitude to all other communist parties in Russia.
Complete victory against imperialism without revolution would only create the next big imperialist. I do not say that we should right now shtorm kremlin, but supporting his internal politics is not something a communist would do.
My point is not that CPC is not a communist party. Ma point is that KPRF isn’t one. So KPRF’s opinion about other party does not matter much in context of this conversation.
I came from Russia, St. Petersburg, and Putin does support KPRF, he congratulates them on every occasion, he brags how Zyuganov is second man in Russian politics, he basically blocks registration of any other communist party in Russia (like RKRP, for example). The union between KPRF and Russian authorities, it started long before split between Russia and West and continued through 90s and 2000s up to this point. KPRF basically exists because of Russian authorities that gifted then some of confiscated money of CPSU back in 1993. At that time there were already different communist parties in Russia, but Eltsin funded creation of this one. The same people who were in charge of Eltsin campaign, were alsa in charge of KPRF’s campaign back then. This party basically betrayed it’s voters every time it could, like in 1996.
I know history quite well. Especially history of Russia. For example, there were social-democrates who decided to unite with bourgeois, the2y called themselfs “mensheviks” and they failed miserably. But there were others, who choose revolution, called themselves “Bolsheviks” and later renamed themself to “communists”. Those established the first socialist state on earth and managed to spread left ideas to half of the world.
The problem with KPRF is not that they support anti-imperialist actions of Putin, many other left parties in Russia do the same. The problem is that they are not supporting anti-capitalist movement inside Russia and even more, they are even interfering with over people trying to do that.
And about young communists in Russia, I do not know there do you come from with this opinion. There are some organization, mostly Trotskyism-oriented who think that because Putin is bad, everything that he does is also bad. But those are not the only ones, and even more, they arr considered outcasts and foolish by the majority. Although they are quite “loud”.
Bro, I am very glad for CPC, but it is easy for them to avoid revolution since they are already in power. Also, CPC is not considered as a valid communist party by the majority of communists in Russia. But the situation in KPRF is much worse. This party was created with the help of anti-communist politicians, most of it’s leaders are businessmen. The bourgeois party can not be communist by definition. You are right about that KPRF does not want revolution, of course it doesn’t! It would hurt their income. It has not done a single positive thing for working class. It votes for social-oriented laws only when their vote does not matter. They do not organize strikes, they only monopolize the word “communist” and go to court against every over party that tries to use it like it is some kind of trademark. It has full support of anti-communist Russian government, including Putin himself. And about “global south” communist parties, well, it’s a pity, but it is no surprise. Most of communist parties moved to the right in the last couple of decades.
KPRF is a valid commie party? What? A party that is controlled by bourgeoisie, a party that nominates a businessman for presidential election is a valid commie party? It is social-democratic at best. Just read it’s program, there is nothing communist about it.
Most C binaries usually do not contain everything needed for their execution. It would make them too platform-specific. What most c programs do is that they use standard c library from platform for low-level things and communication with the system like memory allocation or stdin/stdout things, for example.
You are probably right. It is probably even more important than kernel.

It is easy to install another shell indeed, but it is quite difficult to configure it. While installation of DE is usually done with just one command. And you can use linux without DE, but not without shell. Many distributions even do not install DE by default at all.
I mean “something out of ordinary about it affects your experience with this distro the most”.
Does it have a separate add-on store?
