Exactly my thoughts. You could copy that speech from the beginning, replace every instance of Germany/Germans with Russia/Russians, replace Poland with Ukraine, and you'll have milions of people nodding as saying: "Yes, that makes sense, defend Russia!"
As someone working in the tech industry (not from the US), the comparatively better working conditions and pay compared to most other jobs sadly create a big bubble for most people, where the ideas of exploitation seem like they only occur in manual labour jobs. There doesn't seem to be much of class consciousness when you and your colleagues are better off than most other people.
Black metal as a genre. I could not believe that anyone seriously listened to that. It was either random noise or actually scary stuff (I am the black wizards actually scared me for some reason lol). But after enough exposure and playing Freezing moon myself, I actually got to enjoy it to the point where now I listend to black metal 80% of the time.
In the same vein, "Sons of Winter and Stars" by Wintersun was so unharmonized and terrible to me when I first listened to it, but after a few listens it became one of my favourite songs
I remember reading "Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher" by Edward J. Watts, and the book makes a really good point on how Hypatia is remembered for her death more than for her life. She's regarded as a mrtyr for philosophy, as a victim of Christianity, as a feminist icon, but her life and achievements are, unfairly, rarely discussed.
Really recommend the book, it was a very nice and light read. But working from memory, Hypatia taught a variant of Neoplatonism that was acceptable to both Christians and polytheists, and so her lectures could bind the fractured society of Alexandria, as students from all sorts of backgrounds attended.
Mostly Cellar Darling, Sargeist and Behexen. I listened to some Amon Amarth yesterday, but death metal kinda bores me quickly, and I'm used to spinning like 3 albums for months on end
The perfect feline supplement can only be found through trial and error
My headcanon is that Data names every cat he owns 'Spot' and he has different cats throughout the series
He also made beautiful poetry that many of us can relate to:
You tell me to do this,
He tells me to do that.
You're all bastards,
Go fuck your mother.
"Poem about bastards" by Zhang Zongchang
I never heard about the tildeverse before, sounds really interesting. How does one choose which tilde to join, though? It seems to me like only cosmic.voyage has a specific theme, while the rest only differ in the OS running on the machine. Or are tildes just there to host your account, while all the interactions are done via irc?
I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom "for the first time" when she got the implant.
Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.
Thank you! I spent like 5 mins wondering do they pay between 5k and 3k a year and why is the comment below mentioning $5 and $3
Yeah, the texture is not the best, but I found that cooking oats in water and adding frozen berries makes it really good taste-wise. And a colleague told me that adding milk to oats cooked in water is almost the same as cooking them in milk.
But man, adding semolina to your oats and cooking them with milk makes suuuuch a good breakfast because the semolina provides a tasty dense medium in which the oats are suspended.
arXiv doesn't have peer review as far as I know

Seven Spires!!!
If an evil spirit cast a curse on me that I cannot listen to anything but Seven Spires, I wouldn't be too bothered.
They're a symphonic metal band, they released an amazing album this year "A Fortress Called Home".
I've been using MetaGer for a long time and have been very satisfied with it. So sad to see it go. Time to look for a new search engine.
MetaGer - An era comes to an end
> MetaGer, the privacy-focused search engine of the non-profit association SUMA-EV, will no longer exist in its familiar form. It will still be possible to use the token-financed service. Nothing will change for members and users who use MetaGer with a key. However, it is the ad-financed search that has ensured the main part of the revenue and thus the operation and further development. Unfortunately, this “normal” search is no longer possible as of today. This is just as dramatic as it sounds: it is no longer possible for SUMA-EV to continue to employ staff. All employees are being made redundant, as are the offices.
>The reason is that Yahoo terminated our contracts unilaterally and without any notice on Monday. Upon request, we were merely informed that Yahoo would no longer be operating the business in Germany. For us as the operator of MetaGer, this means on the one hand that we no longer receive any advertising revenue, which has been used to pay for office space, servers and employees. On the other hand, we will also no longer be able to deliver our search results as part of the ad-financed search. Only with Yahoo did we have a central deal to receive search results in return for advertising. This no longer applies.
>What happens now? MetaGer's supporting association, SUMA-EV, will continue to exist. It will also still be possible to buy a key for the token-financed search and search with MetaGer. With this model, MetaGer will still be able to query paid search engines and deliver the results without tracking as usual. We will also continue to work for SUMA-EV and MetaGer on a voluntary basis to ensure the operation of this small niche, but this will of course be on a very small scale and not what MetaGer is all about. MetaGer-Maps can also no longer be operated in this context. The plans to become bigger and to one day provide a really good alternative to “the big players” with its own index (or European index) have of course died with this termination by Yahoo. And that is what is really sad.
And that "no poop challenge" that was everywhere on lemmy about a year ago. Not sure whether that was a lemmy thing or wider, as I don't use anything besides lemmy.
I'm glad a local culture is growing here naturally, but I didn't expect it to be beans, jeans and no poop
I got the notification that it's on sale now. I'm buying it today and can't wait to play it when I get the time
Thanks for mentioning Photon! I just tried it and it has a much better look and feel than the default lemmy UI. Though I noticed that I cannot collapse comment chains (or don't know how to), and on one occasion when someone posted a huge format video in the comments, the video was rendered over the comments below it, which didn't happen in the default UI. But other than that, it's great!
All in all I wouldn't mind if this were the default frontend, I'll probably keep using it myself.
Seven Spires - Where Sorrows Bear My Name
Seven Spires released a new album back in June. This is my favorite song, but the entire album is amazing.

The Stone - Kosturnice
Some black metal from Serbia. Below are the lyrics and my translation
Zalutao pod veo košmara / I wandered under the veil of nightmares
Često usnim brisan prostor / I often dream of a cleared space
Negde i nigde, na granici svetova / Somewhere and nowhere, on the edge of worlds
Dubok je koren strahova / The root of fears is deep
I sanjam... / And I'm dreaming of...
Serpentine guste magme / Snaking flows of thick magma
Nema izlaza odavde / There is no escape from here
Peku se na tihoj vatri / They're burning on a silent fire
I žrtve i dželati / Both victims and executioners
I sve što još ne poznade smrti lice / And everything that had not yet known the face of death
Obgrliše kosturnice / Was embraced by ossuaries
Zastao je dašak jave / A breath of lucidness lingered
Ko u šaci zrno soli / Like a grain of salt in the palm
Možda se i iskobeljam / Maybe I'll get out
Kovčezi nam nisu okovi / Coffins aren't our chains
Serpentine guste magme / Snaking flows of thick magma
Nema izlaza odavde / There is no escape from here
Tu je neki zid, ruina / There's a wall, a ruin
Pored polje puno crkotina / Next to it a field filled with carrion
Gasovi i isparenja / Gases and fumes
Na sve strane plamti litosfera / The lithosphere is on fire on all sides
Obliven znojem, budim se / I wake up covered in sweat
Kraj istih ruševina, gde sve / Next to the same ruins, where everything
Što poznade smrti lice / That knew the face of death
Progutaše kosturnice / Got swallowed by ossuaries

Linuks distribucije utisci
Ispostavilo se da ovde ima dosta linuksaša, pa me zanima da li imate neke posebne utiske o pojedinim distribucijama? Šta koristite i zašto, šta ne koristite više i zašto?
Ja sam jedno vreme menjao distribucije više puta nedeljno, ali ovo su mi utisci koji su ostali:
Debian - Najstabilniji OS koji je možda jedini koji mi je ikad crash-ovao. Za moj hardver uvek traži da zasebno skinem neke firmware-e, ali apt mi je ostao kao omiljeni package manager.
Arch - Jako fina stvar što možeš tačno da biraš kako će ti izgledati sistem i što je jako dobra prilika da naučiš više o linuksu generalno, ali sam primetio kod mene da ako ne update-ujem povremeno, pacman više ne želi da sarađuje, neće da skida pakete. A i desi se nekad da mi javi "signatures broken" ili tako nešto, što me stvarno nervira kad ne palim laptop par nedelja i onda moram sat vremena da ga opravljam da bih skinuo nešto što mi treba na 5 min.
Solus - Najveća tragedija mojih mladalačkih dana. To je jedina distribucija koja mi apsolutno nikad nije pravila nikakve probleme, a ja sam je menjao za Deepin jer je debian based, ima najlepši DE out of the box i bio sam zavisnik od menjanja distribucija. Sad ne mogu Solus da pogledam u oči od srama.
Trenutno imam Fedoru i skroz mi je okej, nemam neke posebne komentare, ali želim nešto novo, nešto divlje. Pa kao bonus pitanje: je l' koristio neko NixOS (koji je izgleda popularan na lemmy-ju), Gentoo ili Slackware?
