Day 259 of Trump’s 24-hour peace deal: nuclear tests are resuming.

Him talking about a 3rd term was already quite enough of a giveaway.

Might be a hot take, but I truly don’t care about the design of the room where the US president shits, and neither should anyone else care (except maybe the US president himself).

It has partly become about that in the comment I responded to.

I don’t mind being called a cisperson, though. It would sound a bit weird because it’s not a normally used word, but if it caught on and I saw it a couple of times in practice - without a negative context! - I’d probably accept it. (Maybe I’m not relevant as ESL, perhaps.) So it’s not necessarily a good argument, I think most people don’t pay conscious attention to this sort of details.

If you click on them, many images on Wikipedia will lead you to their parent page on Commons (click “view on Commons”). Ideally, that’s where all non-copyrighted WP files are placed (unlike those that are under copyright, which limits in how many places they can be used).

Literally the only wiki-based media repository out there.

There’s also monoskop.org (although unlike Wikimedia Commons it doesn’t seem to care about copyright law too much).

Of the “free as in freedom” options: Wiktionary and patience. DeepL is not FOSS, and I suppose most other similar sites aren’t.

I’ve just tried it out on “All” and basically the entire first page is filled with one user’s posts to !visualarts@lemmy.dbzer0.com :/

That’s certainly one of the takes of all time.

Ukraine can help him solving that problem.

Seriously though, I had a brief period recently where I used the official YT app on my phone (before reinstalling Newpipe), and it was so horrible I started avoiding and minimising my usage of it as much as possible.

There’s a cure: don’t use an adblocker. Since opening any new video will force you to watch half a minute of torturous ads, you’ll restrain yourself and just finish the current video.

These memes about required specs make Linux look like its primary userbase are bums.

Nonsense, everything is labelled with its original title there. If you’re looking for Russian music there you’ll probably have to use the Russian band name, but otherwise not.

There’s way too many languages and dialects with way too many sounds out there for this to be practically doable. For foreign names some basic degree of approximation is desirable, but nothing more than that. In principle you shouldn’t expect or demand people to produce sounds not found in their native dialect (unless they’re actually learning the foreign language, but even then they will usually stick to the same language within the same sentence).

Besides, it’s not even odd for people not to be able to pronounce stuff according to the standard norm of their own native language, due to the dialectal variety within the same language.

As for names from within the same language, it could sound artificial and even condescending if you tried to go for a pronunciation not native to you. Bob is just Bob, no need to stress that he’s “American/British Bob”.

I mean, their state media is pretty upfront about the intents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Russia_Should_Do_with_Ukraine

I understand that most of the rhetoric towards white people that I believe could be interpreted as “racist” are made by the direct victims of white colonialism/racism

On Lemmy? Nah.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.

You take the right one – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the left one – you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes

So… the impact will be gligible?

It can be noted that the original comm on blahaj.zone gets drastically less traffic than before, and I don’t think anyone uses the .world comm at all. Most activity is at /c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
