I wonder that too

I'm French and actually he's bang on the money, it's entirely about racism under the bullshit cover of "secularity"

[-] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

You are correct, this is part of a series of laws over the past decade specifically aimed at muslims in France, and it indeed issues from racism

But also:

Those girls are the victims

lmao, wearing an abaya is not "being a victim", it's a fucking dress

How about just letting the girls wear whatever the fuck they want to wear

They started the whole conflict out of a desire to expand their arbitrary lines in the sand to include ukrainian territory.

Why do you think Russia invaded, exactly ? they started the whole conflict after decades of making NATO encroachment along their borders a clear red line and being very clear what would happen if it was crossed

The US still kept meddling in Ukraine (and other post-soviet states), with Russia making every effort short of war to try and stop that - like offering loans just as large as the IMF loans for example, except without asking for the batshit insane austerity measures the latter did

Then the CIA backed a far-right coup there in 2014, and much of the following years were spent with NATO financing and training nazi soldiers there in preparation of trying to take back Crimea, while breaking the Minsk agreements in the meantime (I'll pass on the various atrocities and huge reframing of nazi criminals as national heroes in Ukraine there at the same period, since it's barely related, but it is worth a mention too)

Now both Ukrainian and Russian people are dying. A peace deal would stop that.

I would be so ashamed of actually posting this

Just don't answer, it looks less ridiculous

"die anyways" ? how so ?

I just checked and figlet at least appears to be in the arch repositories as well

[-] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

On Linux, you'll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)

Alternatively you've got this online frontend

If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this

And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers

[-] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg

Bethesda games usually don't go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)
