How will you address the Sinophobia and Russophobia that often occurs in any post related to Russia or China?
When a user drives by to comment “Fuck Russia” or call the user a “Cee Cee Pee shill” that adds nothing to the discussion and actively detracts from it not only by diminishing the quality of the discussion but also by dissuading any Russian or Chinese people from participating in a community that does not address racism.
There’s currently a pretty reasonably large tanky population attempting to make a new home on this instance and others. As long as any new inclusiveness policy doesn’t impede my ability to call someone a scum-sucking genocide apologist or a thinly veiled authoritarian mouthpiece, I’m on board. This place will very gradually find itself turned unpalatable if pointing out the tankies is disallowed.
I really don’t want to go back to Reddit, but it’s preferable to seeing frequent Maoist/Stalinist garbage.
Then engage them on the merits of the article and directly challenge the rhetoric with facts and logic. Deprogramming propaganda requires a working knowledge of theory, facts, and logic. Simply calling someone a scum sucking genocide apologist authoritarian mouthpiece should be outside the scope of this community, otherwise you are just showing your racist ass.
Perhaps, as someone with a family tree pruned into a family shrub by Stalinists, I might have stronger feelings about this than most. Tiptoeing on behalf of people cheering at my family’s graves isn’t ever on the table for me, personally.
Sadly, many people around the world can make this claim, yet they endeavor to end racist violence rather than perpetuate the cycle. Racism encourages this vicious cycle and is in violation of the community’s third rule.
You may think that words online may not have impact, but there is a demonstrative effect on the increase of crimes against Chinese and Russians. As I said below engage in these topics with your personal anecdote or a factual rebuttal of the subject. Shouting “FCKXXX PUTINNN” is as effective as “ANOTHER KKKRACKKKA DOWN”
That would fall under racism and dealt with accordingly. People do not choose where they are born and far too often do not have control over what their government does.
Saying “Fuck Russia” or “Fuck China” isn’t automatically racist, 99.999% of the time it’s someone talking about those countries far right authoritarian governments…
Dangerous choice of words there, what’s your stance on the CCP? The previous posted heavily insinuated CCP = bad and you didn’t bring all that diversity talk into the table this time.
Hey, help me out! What post are you talking about? If there was any post before this one then it was not me. That being said show me and I can help clear this up, thank you!

Ah okay so it’s like this. The CCP does not equal the entire population of China. It is a governing body that dictates how the Chinese people live. Generalization of people is a racist trope. Holding fascist authoritarian governments accountable for atrocities is not. The comment was intended to help people think about the individuals within a country when thinking about the actions of the government. I know this is not the answer you may have wanted but it does give you some things to think about. Racial slurs dehumanization clearly not allowed. Criticizing the CCP for having a hand in a modern-day genocide against the Uyghurs Muslims is both welcomed and encouraged. This does not just apply To the CCP but all world governments.

Ok, then I’ll fell strongly encouraged to bring up the genocide of indians and indigenous populations committed by the Americans at every chance I see.
The United States has a long and bloody history of atrocities against indigenous peoples and Black people. These atrocities are some of the worst in human history, and they dwarf some of history’s other atrocities. This is not to say that one atrocity is worse than another, but it is important to remember that the United States has a dark past that we must not forget.
I am a lowly and unusually stupid software dev, but I want to be less terrible. Something every good dev said during their career :) Nice community, subscribed!
Okay after I finally got over how adorable kitty is being all cozy and cute, I noticed the blanket. I need one like it where did you get it?? Or how did you make it? It looks as cozy as the cat
With the LVM partition, you can carve that up and easily resize/reallocate space as needed. If it’s the last partition on the drive you can easily increase the size of you clone to a larger drive later.
LUKS is off you also want encryption (which in my case I do, with the unlock key in the EFI or TPM).
It usually ends up looking like
sda1: /boot
sda2: [EFI GPT]
sda3: [LUKS] -->LVM with rootfs, var, home, tmp volumes
