What you said probably makes sense within the paradigm of Kremlin's propaganda. But in the real world it's just a pile of word garbage.

Putin announced two goals: demilitarization and denazification. If demilitarization is complete they will complete denazification by removing Russian Army from all the occupied territories of Ukraine. Another job well done, Putin!

*While torture allegations have previously been levelled against both sides in the 15-month conflict, the team of U.N. independent experts said Russian forces' methods may be "state-endorsed". * The consistency and methods of alleged torture suggested "a level of coordination, planning and organisation, as well as the direct authorisation, deliberate policy or official tolerance from superior authorities", according to U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture Alice Jill Edwards, who sent the letter on 12 June alongside several other independent experts.

Where am I? (lemmy.world)

A refugee from reddit like a lot of others I guess. I registered to .world because it was open and .ml was kinda full. Now as the dust of mass migration starts to settle the leanings of different lemmy instances are becoming clearer. The fact that lemmygrad is just straight out batshit /r/Donald was pretty obvious right away. The fact that .ml passes downvotes to the CCP social score system was not. Federation starts to dissolve into islands of let's call them "interests". Two questions come to mind:

  1. Is there an overview of what instance is federated with what instance? A reason for defederation would be nice too.
  2. Is there one place where I can check moderation policy for this particular instance? Two of the instances I came across turned out to have "leanings" as already mentioned. May I cautiously ask what "leaning" if applicable I might encounter here?

Like it wasn't a mess before the Americans turned up.

I second Mint with XFCE. I have been using it for a decade and since I'm family tech support guy I installed it on all the PCs I have to support including some used for watching TV and YouTube high end Thinkpads, cheap Laptops used for school. It stays out of my way and just works. Of course there are issues here and there, but it was most solid distro for me. The ease of upgrade is stunning, dealing with Ubuntu servers an upgrade is almost always a new install and data migration, with Mint upgrading feels easy and fun.
