The Baba Yaga is a russian / eastern European fable; similar to Hänsel und Gretel from Germany. They didn’t make that up for the john wick movies (in case you are serious)

Yes, unironically.

If you think you should be allowed as a russian to live in a country russia is engaging in psyops, social destabilization, and some cases even open warfare against, you should be fucking forced to decide. Do you want to stay where you are and have been welcomed despite all your country’s bullshit then do so and blame your relatives at home because they don’t make it stop. Blame yourself as well because you dodged that bullet for a good life elsewhere.

All more logical and reasonable than to expect your host country to roll over and take it for your convenience, especially when most of the russians living elsewhere are just as indoctrinated as those at home and are often willing assets for the russian hybrid campaigns, espionage and sanction evasions. No victim nation of russian aggression can be faulted for trying to protect themselves from a new kind of warfare.

Russia fucking with the whole world out of an inferiority complex fuelled envy? Then yes.

Maybe just rebrand it then for Finland

My Sparkasse is pushing WERO, which is supposedly a European PayPal substitute.

In the most technical sense of the word, all but die linke and maaaybe the greens are neoliberals. They make neoliberal policy in a capitalist system.

Why not? I don’t do the shadowboxing part because my shower is tiny, but I definitely think about profound geopolitical issues while scrubbing myself

You are reducing the dads to their looks, based on how attractive aka fuckable they are. What exactly gives you the idea this isn’t objectification?

I know this is in jest, but still.

Objectifying men? Meme. Objectifying women? 🫡

I don’t think there is any logic to it beyond who sucked trumps dick most recently. Since that is Ukraine, giving him his mineral ransom deal, they get some borrowed time now.

4m can certainly change a life, I’ll give you that. But when you’re already a powerful politician you will most certainly have a fantastic 6-7 digit income already anyway.

Yeah I’m always so stumped when someone taking bribes or other gifts is caught and they ruined their career for a five digit sum. I mean, what the fuck. At least have the dignity to sell yourself for a sum that actually changes your life

Welcome to lemmy. To help you get settled, the comment you are replying to is from the admin of a/the dedicated trans instance. And a “little” combative about it.

You can’t, really.

If you, for the rest of your relationship, never cheat again or even give her the impression in any way that you are interested in another woman thats not her, anytime a situation arises where this might be in doubt she will question if you cheated again, even if it’s just to herself.

You broke the glass. You can glue it, but it won’t be as before.

Why are you skipping over the alternative venues of revenue I suggested that wouldn’t be as problematic? Because without you couldn’t paint me as irrational, asking the poor corpo to not make more money than last quarter at their customers expense 😔

They can pay their employees just fine. They do this because the investors want their returns.

First of all, I don’t have a horse in this race. My media is stored locally and used only by my household. I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.

My issue is with how they are doing it. Provide an extra service or function, introduce a higher tier with priority treatment or so. Thats fine with me.

What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free, because the shitty venture capital business model isn’t feasible and only provided these things to capture the market, and now comes the nickel and diming part of providing ever fewer services and functions for ever increasing amounts of money.

As for jellyfin, thats open source AFAIK. So why even mention that here as some sort of gotcha? If it enshittifies people will fork it and move on.

I’m just curious, why are you so vehemently defending a shitty move by a corporation? No matter how you tackle the issue, taking away a function that used to be free and evidently has no costs associated to the corp is a textbook example of enshittification.

It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.

Also wenn die letzten Jahre (Jahrzehnte) eins beweisen, dann doch dass das wir den freien willen nicht verdienen, weil wir ihn nicht für gutes einsetzen.

I suspected that, but why the hell is “proof of work” nothing of any use or value? That just seems so fundamentally absurd it doesn’t compute for me apparently

To this day, I have not understood what exactly is even being calculated, and for what real world application. I mean, I understand mostly what crypto is and how it works, but not why doing those calculations results in financial gain.
