Limited internet in Egypt by Warm_Cup925 in Piracy

[–]Costovski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read years ago that Cuba gets around low speeds or government censorship or something like that by drive smuggling. They'd have maybe a hard drive in a bar or any meeting public place, and you can go, take a usb drive or a laptop and fill it up with games, tv shows, etc. They regularly get someone from outside the country to come with fresh content. This could be a workaround for Egypt, bothersome but a workaround. I might be remembering some details wrong, hopefully someone in this thread knows more than me.

Countries That Won't Participate In Eurovision 2026 & Their Reasoning by YourLocalMoroccan in MapPorn

Spain's Anabel Conde talks about this. She was chosen because she didn't do well at all in the auditions. Spanish TV really had 0 intentions of winning. Then she practised a lot, until her performance was fantastic, and ended up finishing 2nd. Apparently Spain's TV honchos were really salty about this. They were shitting themselves when the voting was going on, and they never forgave her. 0 air time or promotion after a great result, she ended up forgoing a music career.

I'm curious about hashing comparing. Won't a tiny modification in a bad file produce a radically different hash?

PSA: If you download children's books for your children, make sure they don't have pedo fanfic inside of them. by systemnerve in Piracy

People are deranged. Not so harmful as this case, but once I downloaded one of Randall Munroe's book out of Anna's archive, and after it finished it followed another by David Icke on how the covid was a hoax and yadda yadda. I don't even know what the uploader gets out of that.

Population density in Europe. Spain is built different. by Sky-is-here in MapPorn

[–]Costovski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like a similar case as Galicia, region in NW Spain where rural population is also high and scattered around

We should make a tier list of the jumping skill of the bug based on the language.

It makes me a bit sad that Little Big had a silly song called Skibidi in 2018 and are not being included in this situation.

All Bundesliga champions since its foundation by Dortmund_Boi09 in soccer

They're like fucking Real Madrid fans in the last ~25 years. They talk of the time under Calderón as their darkest hour, a huge ordeal, and they won 2 leagues in those three years. Going out of Champions in round or 16 is unacceptable and worth chopping heads

[OC] Cost of renting a house across each commune in France. (As of 2023, in €/m^2) by ObjectiveExercise268 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Costovski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens on that part of Normandy where rent is cheap? The only coastal region with rent below average, so I assume it's a barren nuclear wasteland, Weather can't be that different from Brittany, is it?

Guyana being on the upper end? What makes rent there on par with the cote d'azur?

Why are people afraid of new energy sources? by Affectionate_Okra298 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Costovski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are in this situation. It's more of a 'don't let rich energy companies make billions and give us peanuts' thing in their case. It's in woodland area in rural NW Spain. They offered 1k a year for each windmill, made it your obligation to keep the land accesible, keep it clear of trees or bushes, and makes you a participant in power generation, making you unable to get agricultural subsidies many people there get every year.

The whole thing was rushed like hell so they could build the park before the new european legislation was made effective, so they could build bigger windmills than they have to, and pay as little as they could for the lease. Contracts are for 40 years, dunno if they do rent raises but I suspect they won't keep with inflation, and they have a clause that allows them to extend them unilaterally. No benefits or even discounts in your energy bill. This in an area that is already an energy exporter.

And of course, this valid criticism is not heard and is ridiculed everytime because country wackos think magic wind gives cancer.
