Cancelling on Lemmy now? Don't make it Twitter pls.
Russian people don't protest for many reasons. 1 There is no free mass media in the entire country. Majors are has only one way to get information about the world - TV, which is fully controlled by government. TV zombifier full time tell them "Ukrainians attacking is!", "USA wants Russians to die!", etc. If every media tells the same lie and for you this is the only source of information - you will inevitably believe.
2 Russia has no opposition-leader to follow. Good candidates: Navalny and Yashin, were enjailed for years. Sane Russian people confused and don't know how to act in the current situation. We are too disunited for country-wide rally.
3 Peacefull protests don't work at all. I have participated in every rally in the last 10 years, and each time the government reaction was rougher and rougher. Looks like only power of weapon can help us get free, but citizens has no personal arms, police and army are full loyal to gov.
Using Manjaro+Nvidia. About a 20% of kernel or driver updates leaves me with a black screen. Then I do rollback and wait for a bit more stable version ¯_(ツ)_/¯
$4k is not so much money for government. These courts mostly about a message that there is no law in Russia anymore.
