I support any country’s right to not be conquered by capitalist, imperialist oligarchs whether I like their internal politics or not. I hate it when the US does it, so it would be hypocritical to not hate it when Russia does the same thing.
Yup, my understanding is there is a lot of oil in Ukraine (I think donbas specifically but don’t quote me on that). And arguably more importantly, a major pipeline runs through Ukraine. My understanding is the EU is currently very reliant on Russian oil and they would very much like to not be. Hence, why Ukrainian membership to NATO is so attractive.
I think a lot of people in the West dismiss Putin as a nutjob, but I think there is a rational reason for controlling Ukraine. Oil is Russia’s largest export after all.
All of that isn’t meant to excuse Russia; it’s unethical to murder for oil. But it’s intellectually lazy to dismiss a rational actor (albeit an unethical actor) as crazy. But capitalism gonna capitalism. And until we put an end to capitalism, people are going to continue to murder for money.
Is Russia not the supplier of oil for Europe anyway? They are just rerouting it via India, knowing well they cannot have any alternative. I do not see the motive to “invade” Ukraine for “oil”. Russia is only fortifying Donbass as an independent state from Ukraine due to the horrors inflicted since 2014 US coup.
It’s really not hard to understand. Ukraine discovered huge gas deposits in Donbass, which threatened Muskovy’s ability to control the price like they wanted. There was no US coup, and the horrors inflicted have been from Muskovy.
Shocking; redfash tries to silence their critics by accusing them of antisemitism with no justification or support whatsoever. Typical red herring from someone who has no real argument.
Shocking: anti-communist denies allegations of anti-semitism while repeating nazi propaganda (Google “Jewish scholar double genocide theory” for more info on why equating communism and nazism carries water for nazis)
straw man, bc I never claimed double genocide, and 2) just bc double genocide can be used by Nazis doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Dialectics has really rotted your brain, comrade
Leftist is quite wide of a political side no? Also I’m very sure many Ukrainians have enough bad memories from communism to want to ban it. If we ban nazism because it’s an ideology that caused the death of millions, we should also ban communism.
That’s a false equivalency. Genocide is core to Nazi ideology. And communism didn’t cause the death of millions any more than capitalism caused the deaths of millions. It gets pretty messy when you try and attribute unintentional deaths to an economic system. And frankly, kind of gross when you conflate unintentional deaths with the very deliberate and systematic execution of people.
That’s fine just board up his doors and tell him that he is unable to do any business until the fine is paid and then the offending material will be removed from the building by city provided workers and you take until his check clears the bank in order to finish and allow him back into the building you barricade off every single entrance and prevent entry to the building until you’re done just say it’s for safety sake we had to take this much time to make sure we did it correctly unlike what you did…
Nvidia does not ‘hate’ Linux, Nvidia simply never thinks about Linux. They need to keep secrets so people can’t buy the cheap card and with a little programming turn it into the expensive card.
Of course you do. Nvidia wants you to buy the expensive card instead. Since they are almost the same card in some instances the only difference is knowing that you can change values in certain registers to make cheapcard act like expensivecard. I personally use Intel graphics and won’t have nvidea.
This. I bet the experience is better if you use it on an enterprise distro they have precompiled drivers for.
With the boom in AI their focus is increasingly on the data center market, so it’s a small miracle (thanks Red Hat and others prodding them) they even have an open driver right now for newer cards (tellingly it’s in a better state for computational use than for rendering pixels on the screen)
