Okay, so it's a win-win. I'm not against the option of profit when it increases freedom.

Never stop your enemy when he makes an error in your favor.

Ah, my sympathies then.

Garish yes, but it was great for color-blind people.

Their deal with Google for Widevine is separate from Mozilla, basically.

I live here and I agree. Please stay home. Please don't buy US products. Let us keep our stuff.

Fair enough. It's just a tabloid rag then.

Then what is it?

I learned Russian when I was in school - after having family who left during the pograms. Learning the Russian language, or any language, should not be about politics. You don't learn the language to embrace government policies, you do it in order to better understand the artists and the art they created. I don't have my Russian keyboard, so you'll forgive me - but there are works which work best when untranslated and understanding some context. "We" by Zamyatin, "Master & Margarita" by Bulgakov, a bunch of Tolstoy's works, "Diary of a Madman" by Gogol, "Roadside Picnic" by the Strugatsky brothers, and movies like Solaris and Stalker. Not to mention the poetry.

Learn the language for the art. If it does make you political at all, it'll make you even more opposed to the Chekist in charge.

We need to take back the Thorn. Too many things are written as Ye in fake middle English (or fake early modern) which should be written with the thorn!

If I can do it while keeping Cinnamon, and my current desktop, I might.

Oh. No, my monitors should always be at 60Hz now. They're both DC powered (internal + USB).
