DEMOS (Dialogovaya Edinaya Mobilnaya Operatsionnaya Sistema: Russian: Диалоговая Единая Мобильная Операционная Система, ДЕМОС, lit. 'Interactive Unified Portable Operating System') is a Unix-like operating system developed in the Soviet Union. It is derived from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix.

It's development was initiated in the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow in 1982, and development continued in cooperation from other institutes, and commercialized by DEMOS Co-operative which employed most key contributors to DEMOS and to its earlier alternative, MNOS (a clone of Version 6 Unix). MNOS and DEMOS version 1.x were gradually merged from 1986 until 1990, leaving the joint OS, DEMOS version 2.x, with support for different Cyrillic script character encoding (charsets) (KOI-8 and U-code, used in DEMOS 1 and MNOS, respectively).

Initially it was developed for SM-4 (a PDP-11/40 clone) and SM-1600. Later it was ported to Elektronika-1082, BESM, ES EVM, clones of VAX-11 (SM-1700), and several other platforms, including PC/XT, Elektronika-85 (a clone of DEC Professional), and several Motorola 68020-based microcomputers.

The development of DEMOS effectively ceased in 1991, when the second project of the DEMOS team, RELCOM, took priority.

An archive of the DEMOS source code can found here: https://github.com/bpr97050/DEMOS There's some interesting comments and mailing list archives in that repository as well. :)

This is happening under the Biden-Harris regime, right now.

If this happened in Cuba, China, Vietnam, Russia, or any similar countries we'd never hear the end of this

Things like this scream red flags in my eyes, they'd rather use a more preferable term for marketing and hide arbitrary limitations in their acceptable use policy that most people aren't going to read rather than just sell you a product with limitations upfront (something like a 30TB/month bandwidth cap with no restrictions which is pretty standard for dedicated hardware of this price)

I stumbled upon this video on r/Sino from the severe floods last August and thought it was too wholesome not to share.

The comments are pretty real too:

Imagine dropping a box into a US Army vehicle. Their first reaction would be that it is a bomb. You'd probably be shot within seconds, especially if you're a minority.

You wouldnt be allowed to get that close to begin with. The whole area would have been locked down by the police force. Imagine being that paranoid of your own citizens.

Reminds of me of that one lady who thought Hamas was invading London because she saw some paragliders over the beach or something. My memory is fuzzy but it's something along those lines.

I know a lot of people suggest Proton and it seems mostly fine, but their free plan does not offer SMTP access which I use for quite a few things and I don't like the idea of paying for an e-mail service because I'm broke and I don't like the idea of potentially losing my e-mail account because I couldn't afford it when it comes time to renew it.

There's Riseup which seems really nice, but it seems you need an invite from an existing user which is also a bummer for me. I took a quick glance at their site and it seems you can't request an account anymore either because they had an issue with spam accounts in the past. :(

Is there anything else that maybe I'm unaware of? or maybe someone here even has a Riseup account that'd be willing to invite me?

As bad as these articles are, they truly brighten my day by reminding me that there are still a few places on our planet where the people are the priority and that the existence of these places makes the ruling class very very scared.

Image context for anyone unaware: This is the "James Connolly House" in Ireland. It was taken over by socialist housing activists and used to house homeless people for zero cost until 100+ police raided the building and made a couple arrests.

Kinds risky to record video there. Also was the camera hidden within a bag (or something), In front of the bike?

How can these people be so ignorant, this guy literally has a YouTube channel with tons of videos of him just carrying a camera into shops and chatting with the workers and going about his business, no one cares or even bats an eye.

The Beijing No 2 Intermediate People’s Court went on to state that “social tolerance is a blessing of the rule of law” and highlighted the need to “respect diverse ways of living and protect the dignity of transgender people.”

The LIB are going to be very upset when they learn this. How could evil China stand up for their transgender comrades?! Jokes aside, this is great progress and I hope things continue to improve so that China be another safe haven on the likes of Cuba. xi-clap
