Many of the issues raised in the text are solved in PieFed.

A very nice thing about the Forumverse is that our refugees can perfectly well be internal. If there is a reason to escape, it is your instance you’re escaping, not the whole network! This feels like a very promising feature :)

This is Reddit blocking Feddit.uk from requesting the page title, though. “maam”, a user of feddit.uk, wrote the link there, and feddit.uk then opened the page behind the link, in order to get the title of the page. The title provided by old.reddit.com was “Blocked”, and that’s what feddit.uk wrote there.

So, neither feddit.uk nor lemmy.dbzer0.com are blocking Reddit. To some extent a block seems to exist in the opposite direction already, though!

“I left it on display. It’s fine.”

Looks like a cool place! A pity it’s gone. They apparently opened once I was already gone from the town, which explains why I couldn’t find out which one of the shops I used to frequent had now disappeared :)

Thanks for the answer!

Wait, which shop was it, then? I used to live in Berlin and bought board games here and there. At least Spielwiese still seems to exist, which is the most important thing, but which of the other lovely shops is now gone?

Owen did not answer, but I think I can.

I once wrote that genociding Uyghurs is bad, and that comment of mine got promptly deleted by the lemmy.ml admins. It being forbidden to talk about a genocide happening because it’s happening in territories held by China and not in the west is a very big red flag!

Another one is that you’re not allowed to talk about Holodomor, which was a genocide done by Moscow against Ukrainians about one century ago.

I am very surprised that at the same time they do allow talking about the genocide Israel is doing to Palestinians. The lemmy.ml admins are absolutely inconsistent. But, at least some genocides are bad even in their eyes.

The level of faking in all reports inside the Russia’s governmental apparatus is astonishing, though.

I cannot understand how they could avoid that regarding their nuclear weapons program when the faked reports are such an integral part of their system of governance.
If you don’t fake reports, you get fired by Putin for being inconsistent with the other aides.

The bribery of Ukrainian officials was the most important among Putin’s military projects, and Putin failed to recognize that even that project’s documents were all faked. Whoever has faked any documents regarding the nuclear program has received a lot of respect from Putin, and given more influence in the program. Since 1999, Putin has been hand-picking people who fake reports and replaced others with them.

The more important the project, the more Putin influences who is allowed to take part in it. And Putin has managed to fuck up his things big time by trusting fakers extremely strongly and assuming the others are giving diverging data because of disloyalty.
If something in the Russia is going haywire, then a project important to Putin, such as the nuclear weapons program is.

…which is why you sometimes see “Toni Virtanen”, " Mika Valtari", etc.

I’ve met two Wilmas and both of them get their names written as Vilma.

People k ow that W is deprecated and V is used now instead, and then when they hear that sound, they write a “V”. Just like you said.

Also, try reciting the alphabet. It ends “oo, pee, kuu, är, äs, tee, uu, vee, äks, yy, zeta, oo, ää, öö”, right? Where is “kaksoisvee”?

Yeah, it should have caused that debacle before they elected to let go of all the concessions they had.

But yeah, I think a lot of EU countries would revolt if UK was let in without having to join the Euro and Schengen. And yes, I believe this does indeed mean that UK is not going to rejoin within the next half a century at least. Also a reason it feels a bit stupid trying to integrate them into EU stuff – they’re going to prefer staying out anyhow (unleas they get concessions they won’t get) so why bother?

Of course, if they want to follow some EU rules, why not? And for each EU rule they proactively and reliably implement, they should of course receive the relevant goodies, just like Norway. But, at least I would not want the EU to spend our resources trying to pull UK into doing anything it’s not motivated enough to do out of its own accord.

How do you pronounce the name “Wille”? How about “Ville”?

Or that singers family name, Wirtanen? Not the same as Virtanen?

Or, in which way do you pronounce the word “wero”? The same as “vero”, or something different?

Can you give an example of a Finnish word with a “w” that is not pronounced the same as the Finnish “v”?

Yeah, it seems to have appeared again at some point. I’ll need to learn how to run it on Linux, but it apparently should be possible indeed! Or maybe I’ll find some place with a Windows computer to try it. Nice! :)

Oh, apparently Rockstar has made it playable again at some point. Nice! :)

Agreed, absolutely.

Well, okay, but the main point of why it’s a problem being mentioned in the files is that it means you are, at least to some extent, a supporter of sexual violence. And probably even paedophilia.

What I understand the post is trying to say is that these guys were all doing the same kind of horrible shit. It’s trying to hint that USA might have been rotten to the core right from the beginning.

The island is a symptom, not a cause.

How about GTA2? That’s by far the best game in the series! When are we going to get to play that one again?

And little boys?
