That's military aid not sales. Never mind that even selling weapons to a country engaging in genocide is complicity in the crime. US support under Biden was more than just military aid.

It is an admirable thing, in a politics possessed of a moral floor, to believe one can change the system from the inside, that with enough respectful prodding the establishment can be made to bend, like that famous arc, toward justice. But when, after decades of such thinking, decades of respectful prodding, the condition one arrives at is reticent acceptance of genocide, is it not at least worth considering that you are not changing the system nearly as much as the system is changing you?

I manually installed gnome-weather on mine. It doesn't have to be part of the main install but should be available for those that want it.

turn it into China’s Ukraine

Doesn't Taiwan [and Japan and South Korea] already serve that purpose? I know the US wanted to pull Russia away from China but fracturing Russia always seemed to me to be just the daydreams of Reddit liberals. Then again many of them do glow, so I shouldn't be surprised that this was a serious consideration.

Unfortunately the poorest and most vulnerable will be killed off first.

This war had two major purposes:

1. Cutoff Russian natural gas from Europe to a. Force Europeans to buy US natural gas b. Move manufacturing to the US
2. Weaken Russia by keeping it in a state of perpetual war

It might had other goals such as taking over Ukraine's natural resources and fertile land for a fraction of the cost but on the main two it succeeded. The other two it is too soon to know.

The US has no intention to end the war swiftly even if it doesn't get to decide that anymore. The EU are mere passengers in all of this.

All what Russia wanted was to honour past agreements not to expand NATO east. If NATO is going to expand east then Russia can't be faulted for wanting a buffer zone.

Fighting for pedofiles and robber barons doesn't pay

Yes, NeWS (Network extensible Window System) from Sun Microsystems but it hasn't been maintained for years and had commercial licensing fees, and DirectFB used in embedded systems.

And as others mentioned Mir from Canonical which now implements the Wayland protocol.

Would you consider something like the Bestune Pony to be affordable? It retails for the equivalent of 8000 euros after 15% VAT. I am seeing it more and more and I live in a place where petrol is 0.50 euro a liter.

Should have stayed home

If you are not going to invest in public infrastructure, the least you could do is allow in affordable Chinese automobiles. Many of them can be had for $10,000 - $15,000.
