Two things to say here, one, the "trains ran on time" line was for Fascist Italy, not Nazi Germany, and two, it was never anything more than propaganda made to make people think that the fascist regime was efficient, when in reality it was quite the opposite, it was horribly corrupt and disorganized

The way that "at least Mussolini made the trains run on time" is still treated as fact by so many people isn't proof that terrible people do some things right, it's proof that too many people still fall for literal fascist propaganda

But I suppose it's fitting, because "Trump is going to take out the cartels!!" is also little more than propaganda to support a US invasion of Mexico

Oh wow, that thread wasn't around last time I checked (when I made my post in the weekly megathread), it really does go to show how the other thread is just entirely brigading when there's a clear community consensus in the thread you mentioned of how fucked up it all is

Honestly, I think /r/linux is somehow less of a cesspool than the Lemmy equivalent most of the time lol, though at least it so far hasn't had this kind of brigading issue

"Stop with the doom and gloom posts already! As bad as the situation can be it's never a good or smart idea to demoralize Ukraine supporters and defenders."

I just find it so hilarious how these people literally admit that their ability to pretend everything is alright is more important than the actual facts even if they're true 🤣 And of course, it's not even about the morale of Ukrainians, but the morale of the western Twitter users cheering for more bloodshed, it's funny how honest they are about it now

People were joking the other day that people would start calling Kyiv Independent "Russian propaganda" when they run out of other sources to complain about, I didn't think it would happen so soon lamo

That's the thing though, SUSE distros aren't Fedora-based, they're entirely separate distros, they just share the RPM package management system

OpenSUSE is not downstream of Fedora, however SUSE has the same thing in their terms of use

I'm gonna keep using Fedora anyway, there's nothing else quite like Fedora Kinoite
