I don't intend to, and yes, hopefully we won't

> Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, all within the very recent history, plus countless more US-backed color revolutions - including the one in your very own country, which realistically is the very reason for the current state of affairs in there. Oh God! You and your conspiracy theories are annoying. If the U.S. is so powerful, why hasn't it organized a color revolution in Russia or at least in Serbia, maybe in pro-R…
yeah, things like McCain hanging out with the Euromaidan crowd in 2013 is not enough of a smoking gun. he just did it as a private citizen, same as he did with Syrian rebels. he was just quirky like that, right?
>If the U.S. is so powerful, why hasn't it organized a color revolution in Russia or at least in Serbia, maybe in pro-Russian Hungary?
you conveniently left out Belarus and Kazakhstan, who had attempts to do that literally the last year. both crushed with Russian help, which is probably the reason why Loukashenko is so friendly with Putin now
as for why they don't do that in Russia, why, they did manage to do that before. they even bragged about getting Yeltsin reelected on the cover of the Time magazine. the guy who oversaw a default, a defeat against Chechnya, and selling away the Soviet wealth to the emerging oligarch class for pennies on the dollar. not sure if the Russians are thankful for that help though
>I was at both revolutions in Ukraine and I know why they arose, they were supported by the Ukrainian people, self-organized. And it's been like that all through our history. You don't know shit about the political situation in Ukraine and its history, but you think you have it all figured out.
I know enough. you've had an equivalent of Jan 6, funded and armed from across the Atlantic. we just don't call that an insurrection when its convenient to us, just like we don't call the guys with swastika tattoos and flags "nazis" when they serve our interests

> Trump, the only president in recent history who did not start any wars All of this "Trump is the ambassador of peace" rhetoric may almost convince you to forget that 90% of his electorate are gun-crazed maniacs.
yeah sure, 90% of 50% of eligible voters in the US are gun-crazed maniacs. and still, his record is minus one war, unlike every other president all the way back to... shit, I can't even tell without looking it up. I wasn't even around the last time there was one.

#154When I tried pnpm last, I was on a react native project (react 14 maybe), and something about the symlinks from pnpm caused me to not be able to build the project (and I went back to yarn). Anyone know if this is still an issue?

#155The way that key JS ecosystem programs get rewritten tells me nothing is made well. Most ecosystems don’t have this much constant change.

If that's how it works, there's a lot of people on the planet who have good reason to block traffic from the USA. Fortunately for me as a developer in the USA, I guess most of them, in the Global south, aren't developers, or know they can't be successful as developers blocking traffic from the USA, no matter how many atrocities the US military or intelligence have committed in their countries. :(. I guess if they wan…
In the USA there are different people. Good and bad. There are states that are very conservative and there is California. There are some basic values that everyone agrees upon. I think nobody can claim that everyone is bad or good in the US. Same goes for any other democratic society. Same goes for Ukraine. There are a lot of people that I don't like in Ukraine. In Russia there are some good people but they are in ex…
"Even the liberals in Russia are supporting the annexation of Crimea"
- Supporting an annexation that has already happened is not the same as supporting a war.
- That being said, even the liberals in the US supported the various invasions and occupations. Don't forget that Libya happened under Obama.
- Even the liberals in Turkey are supporting the annexation of northern Cyprus, even the liberals in China support the annexation of Tibet, etc. It is not something unique to Russia.
"In Russia there are some good people but they are in extreme minority"
Bush's approval rating was the highest when he declared the invasion of Afghanistan (90%) and when he declared the invasion of Iraq (70%).
In addition to that this is typical racist rhetoric, I have heard exactly the same thing about Mexicans, Blacks, Albanians, Jews, Roma, etc.

As someone who lives in the USA and is a USA citizen, I'm frequently surprised by how much people don't hold US voters responsible for the actions of the government.
The US has and continues to do some pretty awful things around the world. Turning some parts of Pakistan into hellscapes where an invisible drone could kill you from the sky at any time and regularly does kill women and children with no warning, would be one example.
The vast majority of citizens in the US either pay no attention to this at all, or think it's a a good thing. There is a minority who think it's awful. (I suspect these proportions are pretty similar in Russia).
Since the US is theoretically a democracy, we citizens could, one would think, easily stop these things by voting for different people, you'd think people would hold us more accountable and be really mad at us. But somehow they don't, they're like, eh, most people in the US are good people I don't blame them for their government!
And to be fair, I wish I knew how to get my government to do something different -- or how to get more people in the country to pay attention to the really catastrophically criminal things my goverment does, I don't feel like I have much control over it either. (Although surely more than Russians do, in the really not a democracy of Russia?) I do what I can, I am politically involved where I can find the energy to be. It doesn't feel like enough. I'm not sure I or my country-mates deserve the dispensation to not be held responsible.
I think most governments do awful -- really horrendous, murderous -- things. I think tmost people are fundamentally good people, but many citizens of powerful countries doing bad things have these days been hoodwinked to ignore them or support them.
I wish I knew what to do about it. One thing I am personally sure of is that it starts from not judging people by their ethnicity or nationality -- that kind of thinking is what helps governments convince their residents that the violent things they are doing to someone else are ok. That's the problem not the solution.
But I'm not opposed to boycotting as a tactic. I do support BDS against Israel. The BDS organizers have been very careful (and learning from experience) at trying to figure out how to do it in a way that is ethical and maximizes effectiveness. (I think the BDS campaign has been effective, relative to anything else done to try to support Palestinians, although not nearly as effective as one would like, which goes without saying as Israel continues it's decades-long occupation). But reading what they have to say on the topic of boycotts against invaders, Israel, and Russia, is in my opinion worthwhile: https://bdsmovement.net/Hypocrisy

Reagan I think. That being said this is likely because he served only one term. Obama bombed Libya on his second term.
Re: pnpm: Fast, disk space efficient package manager for JavaScript
#159I'm pretty immune to most JS ecosystem churn, but on package managers I'm feeling it. All I want is a package manager that is correct, causes very few day to day issues and is going to work the same way for many years. Yet everyone seems to be optimizing disk usage and speed without even getting the basics (make it work, make it right) fully covered. I don't understand why people are optimizing for disk space at all…
Other than the biggest OS pretty much choking on the node_modules black hole whenever you do a global operation on it (try deleting a js project on Windows)

I went back to composer for a bit recently (PHP), and I was baffled when my install command did nothing other than install exactly the packages I’d specified. When I ran update, it didn’t modify any of my files, but went to the latest version matching the restrictions I’d specified in composer.json. Such a breath of fresh air…
very much the opposite of my experience. i'd gladly have 30 copies of left-pad living in my project rent free if it meant i never had to see "Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages" ever again.
Until it breaks on a fresh install? Reproducibility is a must.
