       Paranoia about "Russian bots" is in some ways justified, but usually a completely inane conspiracy theory. Not everyone you disagree with is a "Russian troll"!Aren't they self-aware that this sounds like QAnon/"Jewish world conspiracy" nonsense at some point if all their opponents are controlled/paid off by some nebulous shadow government?And if it turns into hatred against random Russian civilians, like in the #Linux debacle...? There's Russian progressives, leftists, queers, unions too!

       You know, I have to edit my posts to fit the character limit of my instance, so it flows kind of unnaturally in places. That alone would be enough for some people to point out the style and accuse me of being a "Russian troll".It's literally just xenophobia. They equate the Russian government with the entire Russian people, including their working class that suffers under their own right-wing radical state.Time to switch to the #GNUHurd if this doesn't settle down very quickly. #Hurd #Linux

       @lianna@mastodon.gamedev.place The #Hurd has a very long way to go before being production-ready... It's like with Ladybird and Servo against Firefox right now. We need some "transitory step" before going all the way. A #BSD could probably fit that role; maybe we could revive the #Debian GNU/kFreeBSD project under #Devuan for the smoothest transition? ​:sagume_think:​But I do agree that this would be best time to invest some more resources to the Hurd. A alternative that is as copyleft as #Linux would be great, and we might finally get that #microkernel our computer scientists have been dreaming of for decades! ​:munch:​

       @mima Fair enough. I do actually use Ladybird, so that isn't a very helpful comparison. :PI'm aware that I'd not be able to do super advanced stuff like state of the art video gaming, video rendering or using cutting edge hardware multi-monitor hi-dpi setups on a Hurd system, but for a little one-screen machine that just needs some text editor, music player and a browser that works with the basic mid-2000s web, that'd be enough.I'm just worried that Hurd is more at a "not even that" stage.
