  • First of all, I’m not from the USA so take this with a grain of salt, but are you suggesting the election was rigged or fraudulent? Because if not you’re the one trying to impose an authoritative regime. Like it or not he was elected democratically, and this time you can’t even use the excuse that your voting system is weird because he also got the majority of votes. So the majority of people in your country think that he’s the correct person for the job, or in any case don’t oppose him.

    So what you’re talking about is for a minority to raise arms against the democratically elected government. You are the one who’s being anti-democratic. Even if you were to win the revolution you would need to put a tyrant in power because calling a new election would result in the same outcome.

    Like it or not the majority of the people in your country are stupid enough to either want that or not caring. That’s one of the dangers of democracy, but starting a revolution to remove a democratically elected president in the name of democracy is just as dumb.


  • On my personal computer ~/Projects/<name>, you need to remember that real-life is not like college, you won’t be working on a new project every week. If you have more stuff than you can manage like this, you’ve bitten more than you can chew.

    On my work computer it’s a bit more complex, because I have to work with other people’s projects as well, so I have a ~/Work folder and in it several folders by type of stuff, e.g. ops for operational stuff such as scripts to deploy stuff or grant permissions, code for servers (and client) code, etc. Also if I’m working on something specific that requires multiple repos I create a folder for that project with the repos inside.














  • It’s not about nationality. Here are the facts:

    1. LF is USA based (headquarters in California), as such they’re subject to USA law
    2. USA imposed sanctions on companies that are directly involved in supplying Russia with weapons.
    3. To have business, including receiving help, from those companies would open LF to legal repercussions in the country where they’re based.
    4. Baikal Electronic JSC is on the sanctioned list.
    5. Serge Sermin public GitHub profile listed Baikal as their employer

    Therefore to not remove Serge from the maintainers would open LF to legal repercussions.

    You might not agree with what was done, I certainly don’t, but I understand it.


  • Which is why most people don’t even realize this is a requirement. Also lots of us come from a time before these fancy players, so we needed to sort things out this way in order to find what we wanted.

    To me, having a library be just files thrown in a folder regardless of show/movie/etc seems very messy.
