That toaster looks older than the one I got during the soviet occupation and everything from then looks 30 years older.

Even if you got money for jewelry why pick the boring pointy piece of glass? There are gems and materials so much cooler than diamonds. My personal favourite is jade.

Google still works in languages other than English, like my workaround has been to just search in Estonian and I’ll usually actually get better results and like zero AI content (AI sucks at Estonian, can’t even get grammar right). So if you wanna use Google learn an obscure language.

Stop subsidising air travel and people are gonna prefer trains and boats real fast.

Been to Russia and live on the border of it. Basically if you have a chance of beating Putin you aren’t going to be an option to vote for. The part of the government who decides who will be the options is controlled by Putin. The approval is pretty much bullshit, I haven’t asked everyone in Russia but I have yet to meet someone who supports Putin, especially after he invaded Ukraine.

It depends on a lot of things. Something self-hosted would just cost the power and Internet you are already paying for but if you’re renting the hosting and maybe even get development for your site it could cost a ton.

He was literally voted out by their parlament by like 300 to 0 votes and the only country calling it a coup was Russia.

If by illegally remove you mean he was passing laws that would have made him a defacto dictator which in turn triggered protests that he violently put down triggering massive protests causing him to flee then yes.

Without aid Ukraine would lose more lives.

Farmers yes, grocery stores not anymore. Profits of companies is public info here and they started racking it in the moment the massive ‘inflation’ started. My parents live near a farm and they just buy veggies directly from them for like a fraction of the price, I unfortunately live in a city though. Prices are better at local markets but there arent many of those.

Most food here is locally produced, I don’t see how that would create a shortage. Like people aren’t going to sell their grocery stores cuz their margins are thin again and farming is so heavily subsidised that I don’t see it effecting farmers.

I wish my country’s government had the testacles to cap prices on food. I order food mostly online and I compared prices from 2 years ago and most things are at least 200% more expensive, cheese for example is like 600% though.

That used to be the case but now Google is giving me like a page worth of AI generated pages as a result that all have a different answer. DDG is absolutely useless for sites in my native language but for everything else it beats Google.

None, like the porn posts need to be clicked on to show the picture so it’s not really an issue and even if it was visible by default I wouldn’t mind, it’s just porn. I would block gore but I haven’t come across that yet.

Estonian here.

I use WhatsApp to talk to my mom and we aren’t allowed to use it for work. Only our locally hosted Skype instance for business talk, even teams is off limits for more secret stuff since its not fully locally hosted.

I grew up with the first Baldur’s Gate games and both are amazing but BG3 seems more of a standalone. I played the early access and I don’t see much need to play the first 2, the story is not connected.

I’m in the exact same situation. Got 2 weeks off scheduled for Baldur’s Gate 3 release and I’m currently just replaying Outer Worlds and Tyranny to pass the time while I wait.

Those 2 are literally capitalist countries. Also tankies are the ones who commonly say China is not capitalist.

Not can but is willing to. Denuvo’s legal team is going after anyone who reverse engineers any part of their DRM and they have gotten a lot of groups to back off. Empress is in Russia so she won’t face any consequences unless she pisses off any of the Russian oligarchs, which also means she probably will never crack Atomic Heart but then again she is crazy.

The worst one is when it only supports up to like 16 characters but doesn’t tell you so it will only use the first 16 characters and ignore the rest. The next time you need to enter it and get the 64 character password from your password manager it will just say it incorrect and you’re left with no idea on why it’s wrong.
