Nobody wants to steal your noisy shit machine.

Yeah, if this kind of thing happens to someone often enough that they deem it worthy to make a low effort meme about it, they're the kind of person who obliviously holds up traffic everywhere they go.

Libre (from French) is sometimes used to solve the ambiguity of the word free in the English language, but it sounds kinda awkward in English and there's certainly no consensus that this should be the official replacement, or that the term free even needs replacement.

Furthermore, the FSF who originally came up with the idea of "free software" still exists and is still called the Free Software Foundation, though Stallman uses both terms interchangeably.

They don't have nukes as such. They are prepositioned US owned nukes that remain under the custody of the USAF. The part of the base where the nukes are stored is strictly off limits to local personnel.

What makes them "shared", is that they are intended to be dropped by planes owned by the host country, and both the government of the host country as well as the US government need to give their authorization to activate and use them.

So you may as well just consider them as US nukes.

Free as in freedom, not as in free beer.

That’s not necessarily the fault of systemd.

No, but the error being hard to debug, and not being able to cancel the timeout as it's occurring, is though.

Anyway that is been fixed on modern systems

No, I've had it happen more recently (I wanna say less than a month ago) with network mounts and random systemd controlled desktop processes that refuse to die.

Oh really, someone is being annoying to you? Oh noes!

BTW, you don't have to announce it when you block someone.

You’re like some biblethumper

Your lack of self awareness is staggering.

You, digging up an irrelevant non-event from half a century ago, a fixation of the rabid anti-communist US imperialist propaganda machine shows who is in an echo chamber.

You're the one who got fixated on it sweetheart. I just showed you an image of a lego figurine and offff you went. You guys are so easy to trigger. 😂

And so you have nothing meaningful to offer as I expected.

Says the twerp who is afraid to even answer a simple yes/no question about this so called "irrelevant non-event" from half a century ago.

You're like the holocaust denier or flat-earther who is afraid to answer the obvious question because they know they will be ridiculed and deep down they know they're wrong and have no arguments to defend themselves.

Crazy how triggered (and retarded) they are. Even got one who, rather than admitting he was wrong, doubled down arguing that the GDR was a USSR member state. For some reason that was important to his "argument".

So calling you out on it is not an ad hominem since YOU did it.

No, you said I was lacking brains (sic). That is an ad hominem.

And the other answers: “out-of-context, manipulative, anticommunist, CIA-sponsored atrocity propaganda” shows people know what you’re doing.

You know you are in an echo chamber right?

So before I get bored of toying with you

Oh honey 😂

The GDR was a member state of the USSR. And the dissolution of the GDR happened under Gorbachev, in a manner that did respect the public’s rights.

The GDR is the German Democratic Republic, also known as East Germany.

It was a communist country, a member of the Warsaw pact, and aligned with the USSR, but it was not a member state of the USSR.

See also: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Albania, Bulgaria.

its coming at the expense of your expressed understanding of history

See above.

you are missing a lot, brains mostly.

Hey bloemkool, in the English language, people typically only have one brain. I'm not a zombie, so I have no need for multiple brains. So do you have anything else besides ad hominems?

Also not interested in low level basic about the irrelevant tinyman square noise so bye.

I just asked two simple yes/no questions. It is telling that you are refusing to answer.

No, I'm not following you on a death-by-nitpicking quest. How is anyone even supposed to argue with logic such as "reee your source is a politician from TERF-island so this isn't true!" ...

In any case, none of your held beliefs meaningfully change anything about what happened: a mass protest was brutally repressed by an authoritarian regime, many innocent people died. End of story. No CIA conspiracy, no sinophobia, no propaganda, just something terrible that happened in this terrible world.

That must be so tiring, continuously rationalizing away the cognitive dissonance as "propaganda" and "CIA conspiracy" whenever you come across facts that don't align with your world view.

out-of-context, manipulative, anticommunist, CIA-sponsored atrocity propaganda

Oh my god 😂 How do you even come up with shit like that? Do you have it rehearsed so that it just roll off your tongue?

It is an iconic picture that is representative for the courage of the people protesting, as well as for the bloody repression that occurred. Tanks were used against protestors, and not even the Chinese government denies that hundreds of people lost their lives on that day.

You feeling the need to "correct" me on tankman, just makes you an ackshually-ing neckbeard.

What? Do you believe everyone in a country has identical political views?

You're a bit dim aren't you? The parent post that I replied to claimed that Gorbachev was a traitor who went against the will of the people, I said the USSR wasn't wel known for respecting the will of the people in the first place, and here you are giving an example of when the USSR actually did respect the will of the people ... when Gorbachev was in power.

So my conclusion is that Gorbachev must exist in a state of superposition, where he is both things at once.

The GDR was a member of the USSR.

What does the G in GDR stand for?

Gorbachev

Ah Schrödinger's Gorbachev, both a great respector of the will of the people, as well a traitor who went against the will of the people.

However, its the GDR Communist Chairman Erich Honecker that ultimately changed policy that resulted in reunification.

Then why did you comment on a post that was about the USSR?

I explicitly said that the degree of repression was probably overboard and unnecessary, and a dark episode in Chinese history.

Yet, here you are, completely triggered and feeling the need to argue and bending over backwards to defend China over a single picture of a lego figurine that I posted.

You could have just agreed that using tanks against protestors is indeed Very Bad™, like a normal fucking person. So yeah, of course I'm going to ridicule you, you daft cunt.

dissolved the USSR against the will of the people Russians
