Teaching children to see Russia as a permanent enemy is Russophobia disguised as patriotism.
It traps a generation in fear and hate, shackling their minds to conflict instead of freeing them for peace. This isn’t resilience—it’s a psychological wound turned into policy, breeding trauma, not strength.
This woman advocates: Endless animosity, psychological harm, cycle of hatred, loss of peace, trauma as identity, ideology over healing.
@PNS Wikipedia includes a plot synopsis:

@PNS As time goes on, he'll end up like the guy in the "Unbreakable" movie. No fun. So making this video is the fun part before it gets bad.

@1c197b12ca9ce0415b70e7405b9770f0ec6bccfb59b32b63aafd42cb242e1642 @PNS Just get an extension cord.
@ChairmanO15 @PNS I had one. (Gave it to son in law.) It is very nice for a small yard. In the situation in the video, normal people use an outdoor extension cord. Maybe the guy will finish after a trip to the store.
Music production on Linux!
(I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what this does, but it seems like a neat example of Linux being used in music production that we hope is helpful to musicians in the community )
Render a Guitar Pro Score in Real Time https://fedoramagazine.org/render-a-guitar-pro-score-in-real-time/
@PNS I had one of those as a kid. Fed it bits of hamburger on a thread - and later learned to catch flies with my hand.
Nomination period is open for the Governing Board, new releases across the ecosystem, Conduit's new maintainer Matthias has released v0.10.0, and a fresh episode of Matrix Live. All that and more in This Week in Matrix! https://matrix.org/blog/2025/05/09/this-week-in-matrix-2025-05-09/
