    thank you, I started taking lessons very recently, and this was probably the first time I had something in Ukrainian written to me in which I could recognize several of the words, to the point of getting a general idea of what you were getting at. but I probably still have years of learning ahead of me to be able to read or communicate in that language. sorry.

    > all prior history and detailed facts on the ground into consideration

    back that up with history and facts that I'm supposedly leaving out, maybe? that would not only make your claim more credible, but also offer substance I could consider to change my mind. without that, we might as well just be arguing "no, you're wrong" indefinitely ;-)

    I don't know how NATO usually deals with national languages. on the one side of the Atlantic, the US are quite English-(self-)centric; on the other, Europe is a cauldron of different languages, so there's presumably some precedent policy that would have applied should Ukraine be or become part of NATO (which I personally find unlikely at this time, as that would drag them all into a thermonuclear war with Russia; it would at least solve global warning, human overpopulation, and funding retirement pensions :-)/2

    now, though language colonialism is surely a relevant expression of unjust power, I'm wary of its coming from either (or any) empire. I don't need to have a proposal of a solution or a grasp of this specific issue to perceive other manifestations of injustice and ongoing colonialism that I denounce herein. what I can say with certainty is that it would suck if Ukrainian were to become verboten just now that I finally started learning it formally (vs the little I picked up from conversations between grandma, mom and aunt back home when I was a kid)

    maybe it's worth pointing out another flaw in your reasoning: I'm not anti-US, my viewpoint is not even anti-US, it's rather anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist, pro-sovereignty, pro-autonomy. it's for Ukraine, which requires being neither for Russia nor for NATO/US. I gather it takes quite a lot of brainwashing to perceive being favorable to Ukrainian autonomy as being anti-US.

    my stance follows from a general principle of avoiding dependencies and excess concentration of power. that applies to software freedom as it does to international politics. USians are often brainwashed into believing their country's motives are pure, legitimate, and in the best interest of the whole world, but... unless you think capitalism exploitation is more important than democracy, how do you justify installing military dictatorships in Latin America (and elsewhere) in order to keep the threat of less exploitative political and economic systems at bay?

    (to be clear, Soviet Russia did analogous evil onto its own "colonies", for symmetric reasons, with the excuse but never the actual implementation of a non-exploitative system)

    well, maybe he does have grudges with the US indeed. I had no idea, but that's all right with me. there's plenty of reason to hold them, and I'm sure Assange would tell you so if he weren't rotting in hell for publishing plenty of true reasons to hold grudges against the US.

    you again appear to be projecting in me the denial of opposite points of view and dismissal of evidence that you display yourself. after all, what evidence have you shown to reject my PoVs, or his, other than "he holds grudges against the US"?

    "when someone gets invaded" is too late to start telling the story and looking for the masterminds behind the plan that led to it. it would have been better to not place the victims in that position to begin with.

    anyone who misreads me as endorsing injustice in Ukraine and carries that over to Free Software would be engaging in a double fallacy. I'm not endorsing injustice in Ukraine, quite the opposite. I stand for Ukraine's independence and autonomy a lot more than anyone who set out to make it dependent on themselves by pretending to care for it.

    now, if someone can't see the tricks that dependency-fomenting fake-allies promote, they don't need to resort to such double-fallacies, they'll likely disagree with my denouncement of dependency fomenting acts just the same, without needing fallacious leaps. but the danger to software freedom would lie in their own beliefs, not mine.

    dude, do you realize how you jumped from "I've never heard the guy" to "he's someone with anti-American grudges" based on nothing but your own unwarranted assumptions made out of a few claims I made that you didn't even bother to verify? what do you get in return for such blind loyalty?

    I'm not choosing a viewpoint, I'm drawing conclusions based on evidence available from multiple sources from all sides. I have developed this technique of seeking kernels of truth on controversial matters: looking for what's common to all narratives surrounding the matter. it's usually a safe bet that that is true. I haven't seen anyone claim that invading Ukraine was good for Russia, only celebration that it was great for NATO.

    as for "blame the victims and those that help them"... I don't place any blame on Ukraine. I just see that moving to make it dependent on NATO is bad, just as moving to make it dependent on Russia is bad. I suppose Russia perceives itself as the good guys, saviors of Ukrainians from an external aggressor as much as USians and Europeans wish to perceive themselves as such. both are harmful colonial attitudes that I condemn. why don't you?

    looking for and being wary of moves that seek to offer apparent advantages while promoting long-term dependency on oneself is something I learned in the free software movement, and that I have since found to be a lot more common, including in this situation. Microsofties and Googlers might disagree, as do most USians

    the most convincing reason for me to conclude that Russia was provoked and, really, forced into action is the amount of predictable negative consequences onto itself. setting aside the narratives that attempt to qualify putin as dumb or mad, the explanation of why he'd undertake such actions is that the perceived consequences of the alternatives were even worse. that, in turn, suggests a master plan designed by someone else to bring about just that reaction and its expected consequences. you just have to follow the trail to cui bono for the most reasonable guess of whose master plan it was, unless you'd believe that they're so incredibly lucky.
    as for pursuing autonomy, surely strengthening the organization through which the US keeps all these countries dependent is a step in the wrong direction. but I won't pretend I can beat US's strategists. I don't see a solution for this problem.

    > Look at the history of US-sponsored coups and you'll see military and political leaders seizing power

    No, that's dated. The modus operandi in the recent past shifted, to give the coups more of an appearance of legitimacy, from inflating fringe groups through mass presspaganda venues or "self organized" "popular" "movements" to using lawfare to disqualify popular leaders and transfer power to US-aligned forces through seemingly legitimate means and in response to provoked and inflated popular uprising. IIRC it is https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=_wIOqHSsV9c that covers some of those shifts in trends.
    the scent of foreign meddling is all over these Ukrainian movements. the one-sided media promotion of movements as highly supported (while polls showed the country divided in about half), the "organic" but explosive growth, the "volunteer" efforts, the seemingly coordinated and inflammatory escalation of claims of corruption and human rights violations (that get a blind eye when practiced by allies), this is all textbook and all too familiar

    now, you'd be surprised if you listened to some scientists rather than to your imaginary and highly-prejudiced depiction thereof. that the latest of a long set of scientists and analysts grudgingly acknowledge US's wrongdoings and I run with it doesn't turn them into someone with a grudge. that ignorant depiction says a lot more about you than about them.

    > Are not the Ukranians entitled to determine their own path?

    The US's opinion on this was answered when it replaced a democratic Ukrainian government that defended neutrality with one that was friendly to the US. that was what sparked this proxy war. experts on the matter have predicted how Russia would react, before and after this US move, and the US went ahead with it anyway.

    you're projecting your wishes to submit them to domination onto me. I wish Ukraine had not been used as bait. I wish it had been allowed to remain neutral and independent. but that was not to be. that was turned into "under US rule", "under Russian rule", or "Ukraine no more", or a combination of the three. that was not cool. you appear to be under the delusion that being a foreign nation under US rule is better than being under Russian rule. that's not at all surprising coming from a USian, but it's delusional nevertheless. sovereign autonomy means *not* being under anyone's dominion, not even the US's

    your delusion is kind of opposite to what US experts on the matter (vs US govt parrots) have been saying. refer to the video I linked to upthread, for one. the US promoted a coup to change Ukraine's course into one that would knowingly provoke the invasion, blocked diplomatic efforts, and kept the war going. if the US cared about Ukraine's national survival, it would have refrained from making it bait for the big bear, and it would have cut the losses sooner. but this is not being done for Ukraine, this is to weaken Russia and Europe, Ukraine be damned. I'm not ok with that. Ukraine national survival is not served by promoting its destruction in a proxy war.

    now, of course you as USian are under intense propaganda to delegitimize Russia's concerns and depict Putin as a mad man. the many official press reports that Russia was just about to lose the war Real Soon Now (TM), over the past year, have evidently been proven to be nothing but war propaganda (truth is the first victim); I could tell, and I'm the one who's deluded? that Russia would be worse off, even if it ultimately wins, should be strong indication that it was forced to move, which was clear to me from the beginning. but propaganda attempts to hide the machiavelian plots that force others to act against their best interest by painting them as crazy. do you fall for that?

    it's not like US, UK or even Ukraine care much about what binds them, is it? they've entered agreements without any intent to fulfill them. respect for human rights is relevant or not depending on whether the alleged offense is committed by opponents or allies.
    provoking the war, blocking diplomatic moves that could have prevented and then put and end to it, and arming Ukraine so that the war lasts longer and the destruction is more thorough... none of these have been moves that helped Ukraine, I'm sorry to say. Ukraine people are being killed and the country being torn apart as consequence of US's power plays
    US's own actions and history of meddling with and promoting very ugly dictatorships in its LatAm playground don't make it look any better than Russia, really, except perhaps for those who don't know that history, or wish to pretend being under the rule of their own empire makes it better than being under the rule of others' empires

      John Mearsheimer Ukraine Salon
      from Committee for the Republic | Invidious
      The Biden Administration is engulfed in a staggeringly expensive folly in Ukraine with no forseeable good outcomes. The Committee hosted University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer the week after the Russian invasion fourteen months ago. That zoom salon had 1,136,000 views. The Committee has invited John to return -- this time in person. John will argue twin themes: First, we are in a war where both sides – Ukraine and the West versus Russia – see the other as an existential threat. That makes a workable peace agreement beyond reach. The best possible outcome is a frozen conflict that is likely to have a variety of terrible consequences. The worst possible outcome is a nuclear war, which is unlikely but cannot be ruled out. Second, Russia is going to win the war, although it is not going to decisively defeat Ukraine. It will end up, however, conquering a large swath of Ukrainian territory and making it part of Russia, while at the same time turning Ukraine into a dysfunctional rump state. The Committee would not be holding this salon over Ukraine if we had been faithful to constitutional processes. The systematic provision of $113 billion in military assistance to Ukraine in its war with Russia makes the United States a co-belligerent requiring a congressional declaration. But no co-belligerency declaration has been initiated by Congress nor sought by President Joe Biden. If Congress were required to vote, it would balk at co-belligerency as it balked in 2013 when President Barack Obama asked for a declaration of war against Syria and as it balked in 1999 when President Bill Clinton asked for a declaration of war against Serbia.

    thanks for the link. this is older than the stories I heard about how the Russians mistreated grandma's family in Ukraine after the revolution.
    I don't buy the notion that US/NATO is offering anything good. it went to great lengths to drive both Ukraine and Russia to a fight that's good for neither, without any regard for the amount of suffering that this ploy would bring onto the Ukrainian people. it was solid if Machiavelian strategy: it weakened Europe's ties to Russia, isolated Russia from the West, reinforced and exploited Russophobia in several Eastern- and Northern-European countries to bring them onto NATO's laps for subservience to US's interests, and got the US people to pay for the war machine to keep running, offering weaponry and ammo to Ukraine, while Ukraine, after being forced out of neutrality in a treaty that neither Ukraine nor NATO had any intent to comply with, gets bombed to death and broken into pieces. and yet Ukraine is now relying on that who plotted its own destruction because it offers more outlook towards freedom? mafias have treated its "protected" victims no worse than that.

    the avatar pictures that are failing to download are from as recently as last week. I have devised a way to get updated URLs for them, downloading the user/<id> page and looking for avatar/<id>-<size>-<datestamp>, but I'm a little wary of the extra load this would place on the server just to download avatars I didn't download before. I suppose if I re-download the timeline pages, it will provide me with fresh urls for avatars, so I'm considering doing that instead. anyhow, if remote avatars (and thumbnails?) expire so fast and get new urls, I'm probably going to have to do some content-addressed hardlinking or mapping to avoid keeping too many copies of the same images. that will take some experimentation. for now, I'll download avatars, thumbnails and css along with future batches, as I just did, and adjusting the consolidated pages accordingly. after a few days, I'll probably be able to see patterns to figure out what to do next to complement the archives I've downloaded without images in the past, without straining the server, so that I can use them also without straining the server

    thanks for your patience, your understanding, and your support

    ok, the image and css downloader is working, and visiting future archival download pages should be lighterweight on the server than visiting any of its regular pages. I have opened my latest downloaded set, that would have hit the server with over 1k image downloads, and it should have barely registered in the radar
    (unlike my sequential download of images for the earlier set, that's probably not going to be much use as the avatars seem to have all expired by now. oh well... I guess I should have downloaded them back then...)
