Surely the only languages that are not weird are those specifically designed to be widely spoken?

And no-one wants to speak those!

“Who goes there”, John Campbell, 1938.

(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

So, yeah, looking at those examples I’d say we should try to prevent our opponets from going fascist.

If there’s anything fascists are good at it’s murdering lots and lots of people, so Id say we should stop them from gaining a following or try to remove their following if they already got one.

Easier said then done, but, to steal your words, doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Yeah , but …

In Paris we fought and were massacred.
In Korea/Manchuria we fought and were massacred.
In Ukraine we fought and were massacred.
And as you say in Spain we fought, but then we were massacred.

There’s more of course, but you get the idea.

Something probably should be done differently in the future.

It’s German, and you’re about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

Some of the flickering can be gotten rid of by disabling hardware-acceleration for qtwebengine.

I’ve got
`export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_GPU_THREAD=1

export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS=“–disable-gpu-compositing --num-raster-threads=1 --enable-viewport --main-frame-resizes-are-orientation-changes --disable-composited-antialiasing”`
in .bashrc.

Note that there is still enough flickering left to annoy, and some (appimage?) apps dont seem to register the setting.

I think what’s happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

And I’m sorry, but I don’t think the people won back then.

Somebody missed out on doing some simple, bog standard population dynamics.

You have r(t) rabbits, where r= …

Heh. I used to run leafnode as my own, in house, single person server.

I’m quite surprised to find out it’s still alive and maintained.

You make larger districts that elect more than one representative each.

Or at least that was how it was done here in Denmark.

Yeah.

And we can still block entire sites on the web.

The sites the friends with adblockers promote.
The friends who don’t notice what they promote.
What unholy bastards the people who own the sites they promote are.

You know, that’s a good idea anyway.

I wonder though what that would mean for the copyright?

In Buddhism, yes.

For Hindus, well, it’s complicated.

For other people who happen to believe in reincarnation?
That would be anybodys guess, I guess.

In Denmark the case surrounding “Nøddebo præstegård” caused copyright to be enacted.

I’ve noticed the theme come up in other countries, amongst these France, but I’ll grant that I may have overestimated its importance by overfitting to prior knowledge.

The purpose of copyright in the USA, and as far as I know in Brittain, yes.

But please remember that in much of the rest of the world copyright is a reaction to people, creators, getting in trouble over third party usage of their creations.

Leading to the idea that a creator should have the power to stop people from using their works for whatever the creator deems objectionable.

Denmark has 880 Pirates of all kinds and they “reach” 46% of 15-24 year olds?

That’s some bloody effective Pirates right there!

You’re right!

(Still think they might be doing just that, some of them.)

That thing where they claim the username/password combo is wrong?

That sounds like a really good idea if the site thinks the reason they’re a lot of different lock-on attemps from that one ip is because its a hacker with a list of stolen credentials.

Basically just tell them their list is fake and “go away and stop bothering our customers, please.”

The usual solution outside the US is to not mention the state at all.

All you need is a right to privacy, not a list of those who are not allowed to peek
