Παραιτείται ο πρωθυπουργός της Σερβίας, Μίλος Βούτσεβιτς, μετά από εβδομάδες μαζικών διαδηλώσεων κατά της διαφθοράς, με αφορμή τη φονική κατάρρευση ενός τσιμεντένιου στεγάστρου στο σιδηροδρομικό σταθμό στο Νόβι Σαντ τον περασμένο Νοέμβριο.
Η κατάρρευση του στέγαστρου, από την οποία σκοτώθηκαν 15 άνθρωποι στη βόρεια πόλη Νόβι Σαντ, έγινε ένα σημείο ανάφλεξης που αντανακλά την ευρύτερη δυσαρέσκεια για την ολοένα και πιο αυταρχική διακυβέρνηση του προέδρου της Σερβίας, Αλεξάνταρ Βούτσιτς. Ο ίδιος έχει αντιμετωπίσει κατηγορίες για περιορισμό των δημοκρατικών ελευθεριών στη Σερβία, παρά το γεγονός ότι επιδιώκει επίσημα την ένταξη της ταραγμένης βαλκανικής χώρας στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση.
Ο δήμαρχος του Νόβι Σαντ, Μίλαν Τζούριτς, όπως σημειώνει το Associated Press θα παραιτηθεί επίσης την Τρίτη, δήλωσε ο Βούτσεβιτς.
Η παραίτηση του Βούτσεβιτς είναι πιθανό να οδηγήσει σε πρόωρες βουλευτικές εκλογές. Η παραίτηση πρέπει να επιβεβαιωθεί από το κοινοβούλιο της Σερβίας, το οποίο έχει 30 ημέρες για να επιλέξει νέα κυβέρνηση ή να προκηρύξει πρόωρες εκλογές.

Μπραβο στην Σερβια, σε ουτε 3μηνες τους εριξαν. Τρομερο παραδειγμα για τις υπολοιπες χωρες. Και στα δικα μας:)

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s populist Prime Minister Milos Vucevic resigned Tuesday in an attempt to calm political tensions following weeks of massive anti-corruption protests over the deadly collapse of a concrete canopy. The canopy collapse in November, which killed 15 people in the northern city of Novi Sad, has become a flashpoint reflecting wider discontent with the increasingly autocratic rule of Serbia’s populist President Aleksandar Vucic. He has faced accusations of curbing democratic freedoms in Serbia despite formally seeking European Union membership for the troubled Balkan nation. Novi Sad Mayor Milan Djuric also will step down on Tuesday, Vucevic said. Vucevic’s resignation could lead to an early parliamentary election.

Hello, I'm thinking of creating a matrix account after a long time and I thought about creating one on an anarchist server (like something with similar ideas in this lemmy server). Do you have any suggestions? I was looking at this database, but it says it has gone down and they provide a json list.

I found https://4d2.org/ , but I saw that they removed the mention of anarchy from their description. (Compare this snapsot from 2025/01/05 with today's snapsot.)

Hopefully this is the correct place to ask, if not, pls direct me to a more appropriate community:)

Edit: The admin of the server told me that 4d2 became a non-profit company (https://www.acabinc.org/) and they don't want to look that political to avoid any legal issues (I think they have to be non-politicaland such, so they removed the mention of anarchy from their website description.😄 (I eventually made an account there.)

Θελουν ο κοσμος να φοβαται..

I just saw that the github user bambanah seems to has started to continue the development of deemix!!

There's now a docker image you can use too.

Reddit link with more info about it: https://web.archive.org/web/20250114172700/https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1g5nar6/deezer_downloader_deemix_has_been_revived_on/

I see many posts about piracy services closing down, so maybe this post gives some hope:)

After around 4 months of reading manuals, forums, watching tutorials and asking online, I've eventually managed to have an almost properly working NixOS installation on my pc and wiped the Win10 partition (I have win10 in a VM as a fallback mechanism)!

I started this journey initially wanting to switch to linux and I started my tests with Debian Stable. But the repo was really old (as expected), so I tried the Testing variant. But this repo had missing packages. I tried Unstable for a few moments too, but I crashed and didn't want to bother. I figured that I could make a script to (declaratively?) fetch and auto update packages from github, bypassing Debian Testing.

Then it was when I looked at NixOS and found out that the whole system kinda does what my script would do, but much much much better. Almost ever since then I tried to learn almost everything I needed and a few extra stuff to get it working. This is the configuration I've come up with so far (it's probably considered simple).

I also made a guide to keep track of what I was doing and what I would have to do once I took the decision to transition to Linux/NixOS, hopefully it might help others too:

Finally I can be called a Linux user :)

Hello everyone, I'm very close to finishing my configuration files for NixOS. I have those working on my nixos installation on my external drive, but before I officially move to nixos I'd like to make sure that I'm not doing something wrong.

Could someone please check my config files? (I only use flakes.nix, configuration.nix, home.nix and hardware.nix and I'd say they aren't much complicated.)

My main concearn is that I probably use the import and modules functions wrong (yet somehow they work?). I've read and watched numerous guides for the last 3 months, but I think I still mess this up😅. I think following a bunch of different guides and videos added to the confusion a bit. (A recent guide I read made me have doubts about my set up.)

This is the link to my nixos configs:

Hopefully by the end of the next week I'll be posting here about having transitioned to linux/nixos:)

        specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };

2 months old article, but the video explains well what and how Umu launcher works.

Essentially I think it replaces Steam's runtime environment, by doing kinda what this runtime does, but for all games (even non-steam ones). It has a database to match the games, so that umu knows what scripts to run the game (like setting environment variables, installing dependencies etc.).

Lutris now (if I understood well) uses umu when you choose the proton runner. You can enable it in Heroic launcher as well. You can also run umu "bare" through command line, by creating the wine prefix, feeding it a name to match it to the database and let it do its work (I think this is presented at around 01:30:00 mark). As time passes, more programs seem to adopt it.

It's a ~40mins presentation which starts about after the first hour in the video. Took me really long to understand how this works, hope it will help others (posting it here as cracked games tend to be installed out of steam).😅

I just came across a post talking about this and I haven't seen it anywhere else. Anyone wanna talk about it? It seems big. There seem to be really many protests right now in Serbia.

On 1 December, a silent march was held in Novi Sad to commemorate one month since the collapse. By early December, Serbian students had begun organizing 24-hour blockades at some school campuses. By mid-December, more than 50 university campuses and multiple secondary schools had suspended classes due to student protests. On 11 December, students demonstrated at the headquarters of television station RTS, for their broadcasting of President Aleksandar Vučić's claims that demonstrators are being funded by Western countries who seek to destabilize Serbia. On 13 December, farmers in central Serbia blocked a road with tractors. As of December, protesters continue to gather in large numbers, demanding justice for the victims of the collapse and greater transparency in governance. Police presence in the city has been significantly increased, and there have been sporadic clashes reported. Efforts at dialogue between protest leaders and government officials have so far failed to de-escalate the situation.[citation needed]
