I’m not sure if I’m using all of those 100% correctly (e.g. “Public facing”). But either use a search engine, or just ask.

What terms do you have in mind that you want to learn about?

Do you have a public-facing internet-presence? If so, then I’ve heard good things about copyparty.

I’m using Nextcloud for this, but that seems a bit overkill for your usecase.

Edit: they explain how to use a cloudflare tunnel, so no public IP needed, actually.

Yeah, buy… It really is a horrible idea. Any media outcry is warranted. Not like right-wingers spouting nonsense of eating cats and dogs…

Isn’t this how liberal democracies are supposed to work? How exactly did “the media” get the better of “us”?

Let’s not act as if it’s wise to be hopeful that any successful company can have decent politics (maybe if it’s a worker coop). Spineless liberals is the best we can hope for.

It’s just like with Valve and Nintendo: Companies are not your friends!

But let’s also not act as if any political issue can be fought only in the language of consumerism. Stop falling for that “vote with your wallet” BS if you want to stop falling for these liberals.

There are bands that I legit can’t buy the MP3s from.

I’m sure that small to medium artists don’t get fleeced by Spotify and get a ton of money from a service that almost everyone in the west is using. /s

You too. Hope you learned something. Although I doubt it.

What do youthink “imperialism” means?

If you say so…

Disengage

That’s what you’re doing.

If you say so. As I said: I’m not in the business of comparing imperialists and I don’t have the power to influence anything in Russia. That’s why I’m focusing on the imperialist that I can affect (even if just slightly).

I could accuse you of the same. Why keep replying?

Since you obviously didn’t get the ‘main enemy’ bit

Edit: So, apparently condemning both Russian and western imperialism makes you a “vatnik”, huh. /s Should I call you a Yankee, then?

You would’ve been the best cannon fodder in WW1.

Agreed, the ruzzian-funded puppets in their own country

🙄

Are you actually pretending that there was any kind of organic internal conflict without russian influence?

Why is that so absurd? Donetsk and Luhansk are russian-speaking and were vitally economically dependant on Russia. They were afraid that Kyiv politically focusing on Europe would be disastrous for their economy.

I’m not arguing that Russia didn’t have any interests there, that Russia didn’t do some weird insurgency crap. I’m also not saying that it payed of for the poor sods who lived there. But believing that Ukraine would have been completely united after Euromaidan (which was allegedly also helped by western forces) if it weren’t for Putin is naive.

You don’t have to be “good” to be incomparably better than ruzzia

I’m not in the business of comparing imperialists. I oppose them all. And my (very limited) sphere of influence doesn’t reach into Russia. I can’t do anything against Putin. I am however living in a NATO member counrty. And Karl Liebknechtput it best:

The main enemy of every people is in their own country

You mean when russia invaded Ukraine and fomented a war in those regions?

No, I meant after the Euromaidan. Those regions mostly weren’t ok with the Euromaidan and have been bombed by Ukrainian forces since then.

Russia’s claims are weak. It’s quite obvious that they’ve recycled the nazi Sudetenland strategy as they’ve done multiple times to invade neighbours. Start a war using your “little green men”, then use the fighting you started to claim the “genocide of russian-speakers” and ride that excuse into invasion and annexation. That should be obvious, if you’re not incredibly naive.

I agree that the allegations by Russia have been blown out of proportions. That doesn’t make NATO the “good guys”.
