The job is not at all half finished. There is a massive difference between taking back territory Russia strategically chose to withdraw from following their failure to advance further and taking back territory they have claimed as an integral part of their nation and will fight tooth and nail to defend.

Diamond is kind of a boring gem anyway imo, I’d prefer something with more colour

I think people just kinda like to personify things, it happens all the time even with things that aren’t even close to human

Some apps show it but tbh I think it’s a good thing Lemmy generally doesn’t

The reason as to why here relative to elsewhere is probably because people here tend to be more into free software and privacy and things like that, and caring about those things tends to have an anti-corporate aspect, because of the way corporations tend to act, and aligns pretty well with wider anticapitalist beliefs

Also the devs and pre-Reddit influx population are anticapitalist so that kind of helps influence the trajectory a bit

Evil GUI bloat

Arch is bloat, I use Linux from scratch (by the way)

What does this have to do with being biologically male?

YSK: Nonbinary watermelons are even better than male and female watermelons, but they’re pretty rare so they tend to command a high price

I know this is really anecdotal, but it does feel a little different over there now, and not for the better. I can’t really put my finger on what it is, but it does

The road to fascist hell is paved with liberal good intentions

I’m pretty into conlanging, which is basically making up languages. There are tons of different approaches and ways people can go about it, but like probably most (or at least a plurality of) other conlangers, I generally go for something as naturalistic as possible. I’m also into linguistics so it serves as kind of an interesting way to explore different features and grasp them better, as well as just an excuse to do more research to find out more about something.

Le Pen has stepped down as head of Front National and isn’t either.

She stepped down in 2021, which was before the last elections, elections in which she was nonetheless the RN’s candidate for president. She also hasn’t ruled out running again in 2027.

So much for “more informed than 90% of people commenting on this story over on reddit.”

Calling to individual action to solve climate change is literally the status quo

If you use any subs related to eating disorders you’ll probably get diet stuff as well

Speaking of Spotify, I wonder how long it will be before they gut their desktop app for free users. It just feels too functional to be long for this world, especially given how unusable the app is if you don’t have premium.
