From 1960s and to this day, political protests in Russia have been peaceful. Of course, in a 10k+ crowd there are going be individual hot heads but their actions never were either organized or noticeable. By far, the major initiator of violence had always been the police, together with OMON (“Russian SWAT”) and so-called “National Guard” which is basically Putin's personal army, as it was created by his decree for no good reason, and reports directly to the President.

Since 2019, their actions during political protests had been unusually increasingly brutal. Today and Jan 23 (a week ago) marked the first (I suppose) violent attacks at old women, resulting in injuries, and it's pretty certain that no officers are going to be prosecuted for this, even though they were caught on camera.

Meanwhile, many common people engage in moral insanity reacting to these events along the lines of “she should have been careful instead of stupid” while many others will likely get radicalized in response.

This is not going anywhere good.

I attended most of the talks in the “Declarative” #FOSDEM track today and I enjoyed them all!

It’s been truly inspiring all along, and perhaps one of the best programs this devroom has had over the last few years. Thank you, fantastic hackers!

ActivityPub is now a widely adopted #standard
... but how did it become a standard in the first place?

Hear about the process of getting ActivityPub all the way to #W3C #recommendation status from the people who made it happen […]!

I see #guix becomes more popular and community build cool things for it, now it even have its own awesome list:

🙃

You can now tweak your channels.scm so that "guix pull" only jumps to Guix revisions with available substitutes for package definitions:

(use-modules (guix ci))

(list (channel-with-substitutes-available
