You know which russian neighbour also didn’t have any problems? Norway. And you know what? They have been a NATO founding member. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The only one who is going to have a problem is vova.

I understand this is a near impossible task, but sports (particularly the athletes) and politics should stay separate.

That ship has sailed in the 1936 at the latest. Every authoritative regime will sooner or later try to use successes of their athletes for propaganda(the “neutral flag” sham notwithstanding). There is no reason to give them the opportunity.

And that it affects the careers of the athletes? Maybe, but let me remind you that Ukrainians are still dying, probably by hundreds a day. And so do their athletes.

It’s a 2 years old car, if you suggest that the range falls down to 50% in just a two years that’s probably even worse news than the marketing lies.

Followed by Propaganda accounts having shower thoughts not about Tiannamen Square.

Lemmygrad seems to be full of tankies and has been here for a long time…

It has an option to use Open RC init system instead of systemd. Systemd probably isn’t as annoying anymore but I can’t be arsed to make the switch.

You suggesting that Romanian authorities rely on tweets of some social media celebrity to arrest another one is not that different from Top scumbag himself suggesting he can bribe his way to stay away from prison in Romania. Both are pretty insulting to Romania.

Granted, yours isn’t as bad, yet you should still reconsider your position.

In the lead developer’s GitHub, he sympathizes with Marxism including those that committed atrocities …

FTFY

It’s funny which part of the quote you decided to omit. Tankies gonna tank, eh?

For those who haven’t checked - in the linked page dessalines(Lemmy lead dev) recommends books and articles by, among others, Lenin, Stalin & Castro.

Czechia has a racism problem sure, but that map has no data on actual Eastern European countries so there is no comparison possible. Also you can’t reduce the question of being Eastern European on one metric. Was Belgium under Leopold II. Eastern European? Nazi Germany? USA before 1863?

Please do not refer to Czechia as Eastern Europe. It’ simply wrong: Czechia rejected the Eastern Christianity even before the Great Schism, it never was a part of the Russian Empire and it spent most of the last millennium as a part of the HRE. The only connection - being part of the former Eastern block was so long ago that in only 4 years Czechia will be a EU member longer than it was occupied by the USSR.
