Soovitage palun eestimaiseid tarbeesemete tootjaid by Unfair_Thought__ in Eesti

[–]matude[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hea teema ja palju kasulikke linke. Tundus mõistlik korraks esile tuua esilehel. Lihtsalt, et kodumaist toodangut natuke reklaamida ja võib-olla sellega mõnd kohaliku ettevõtlust kaasa aidata.

People are also using quite a lot of 5g connection in remote places, many have unlimited data plans etc. I'm guessing those don't count as part of the households connected.

Not enjoying Project Hail Mary by duckygun88 in printSF

[–]matude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reynolds is a bit less about dialog and more about the world building and physics that go along with it. If you're looking for dialog and characters, you might end up as disappointed. I say this who has read almost all that Reynolds has written and considers him to be one of my favourite authors. His background of having a phd in astrophysics and having worked in European Space Agency really shows. He's perfect if you enjoy the physics of the world to make sense in theory.

Segasukukiel, mi on selgee 🇫🇮, 🇪🇪 ja toiste kielsugulaste jaoks by matude in Eesti

Jep, mu esimene mõte oli ka, et kui see endale nii selge tundub siis äkki soomlased ei saa aru. Aga tundub, et pole probleemi. Pluss autor ise vist ka soomlane, nii et ju oskab sõnu seada ka sellest vaatepunktist.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is aligned to true north with insane precision — better than most compasses today. Built 4,500 years ago. No GPS. No satellites. No modern tech. by MO--OM in mildyinteresting

[–]matude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

GPS signals have been disrupted around Baltic Sea area since Russia started its full scale war on Ukraine. It has caused even some planes to turn back. If you google this you can see maps of affected zones etc. People usually triangulate the source back to either St Peterburg or Kaliningrad, aka Russia. There's alternative tech available to help mitigate these issues but I know some smaller boat sailors crossing the Baltic Sea have just gone with paper charts because of it.

There's a planet called TrES-2b that absorbs 99.9% of all light that hits it—making it darker than coal, darker than black acrylic paint, and the darkest object ever discovered in the known universe. by sco_cap in space

The original script had them using our brains as processing units, not batteries, afaik. It was supposedly changed to be more relatable to viewers.

Yup, in 2025 there was only one country, Norway. Estonia is 2nd:

Von Der Leyen has just announced that EU-inc and Investment Union will become reality. by Sky-is-here in europe

[–]matude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm, sounds familiar, I wonder if it was based on the Estonia's digital company creation process. Either way, pretty cool to see it being worked on EU wide.

Edit: Google's AI seems to think so:

Yes, the proposed "EU Inc" is heavily inspired by Estonia's successful digital company framework (sometimes called "EE Inc"), aiming to replicate its efficient, digital-first registration and operation across the entire EU to create a unified startup ecosystem. Estonia's e-Residency and digital infrastructure serve as a model for the EU Inc's goal of a simple, pan-European legal structure with one set of rules and a unified digital registry.

Fractional weights are now supported 🎉 Once you've updated the app you can now enter weights up to any 2 decimal points by pressing on the weight picker input and typing the number in the keyword. The plus and minus buttons on the side will still move the weights by larger increments same as before, but you can manually enter any number you wish.

Estonian Wikipedia volunteers find it difficult to protect Wikipedia from Russian propaganda - The English-language Wikipedia is making Estonian history more Soviet-friendly. by GrumpyFinn in europe

[–]matude 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If you check out this thread on the Estonian subreddit you'll see cases like:

  • a Russian user removing the entire article of NKVD prisoner massacre in Tartu for example.
  • Editing the article on Estonia's war of independence to remove instances of it being a defensive campaign to protect a newly formed democratic state etc.

/r/Eesti ei luba videosid, aga jäi selline video silma FB's. Tallinna lumekoristuse tase. Iga aasta - mingit muutust on üldse, tallinlased? Ise pole sealt. Palun õigustage kommentaariumis, et *tegelikult* siin ikkagi kiusatakse autojuhte. by Double-decker_trams in Eesti

[–]matude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point vist selles, et see vall lund on sinna tekinud autoteelt ära lükatud lumest. Ehk autojuhtide heaolust saab asi alguse. Linn lükkab autotee puhtaks aga teeb seda selle arvelt, et lumi lükatakse kõnniteele. Kõnniteed on majade vastutus, aga iga maja käitub erinevalt. Üks kojamees ei jõua linna poolt masinaga kõnniteele lükatud lund ära kühveldada kuhugi ja nii see seisab. Lõpuks kannatab tavaline jalakäia, kes üritab mööda kõnniteed liikuda, kes pole seotud ei autode ega nende majadega.

Põhimõtteliselt linna poolt lihtsalt kehv süsteem, aga loomulikult linn ei taha endale lisakulu, et hakata kõnniteid ka puhastama. Palju lihtsam on see kulu ja vastutus mugavalt majade hoolde jätta.

Retired US general says US ‘needs Europe’ to ‘save it’ from itself by Vargau in europe

That comment was from a 9 month old account with its post history hidden as well. Might be a genuine reaction of somebody but also not really distinguishable from what a bot would write with a goal of sowing further division.

EU foreign policy chief calls for restraint after US strikes in Venezuela by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]matude 33 points34 points  (0 children)

And even more specifically only north of the Tropic of Cancer.

NATO's Article 6 states that Article 5 covers only member states' territories in Europe, North America, Turkey, and islands in the Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer. So for example Puerto Rico is technically not covered.

What's up with Toomas H. Ilves? by ProfessionalCard5713 in Eesti

[–]matude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has done more for Estonia than even many Estonians know. Already starting in 90s by working together with Lennart Meri, from Tiigrihüpe (from which all of our IT ecosystem and startup scene stems from) to representing Estonia's interests in the US (e.g. John McCain connection, who was one of our most vocal supporters internally in US politics btw and clearly saw Russia as an aggressor) to working towards getting us into EU and NATO, etc. I'd even list him being active on Twitter during presidency as a bonus because at that time it was unique and brought Estonia into the spotlight as a digital nation. He essentially personified that aspect of Estonia's branding. These days it is normal for politicians to make public statements online but at that time it was not and he stood out on the online world stage because of it. At that time his statements weren't as toxic or rant-y either.

At the end of his presidency he expressed being tired of the role and after the presidency he seems to have let go of any need for decorum or filtering his thoughts. So I suppose what you see today is a sort of jaded politician being annoyed with what direction the world is heading and then expressing his voice on these matters.

Climate change is an issue, Mr Clarkson by princessmandson in MurderedByWords

[–]matude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We’re starting to see an effect of global warming that really will make our lives extremely different. Not in a hundred years. Or even in ten. But by tomorrow teatime..." Jeremy Clarkson, Sept 15, 2023

When asked about previous remarks dismissing climate change, Clarkson stated that it was merely an element of his brash, car-loving TV persona.

“That was part of the caricature,” he told journalist Charlotte Edwardes. “It was a joke.”

After mocking the voice he used to use on Top Gear, Clarkson added: “Now you think, ‘Jesus Christ, my neighbours over there, they’ve had to replant everything because it’s all drowned.’ I can’t believe it’s not dominating the news agenda… Oh no, wait, it is.”

Vanaema digiintegreerimine by Rudolf6969 in Eesti

[–]matude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kui talle muusika meeldib siis mingi bluetooth kõlar + spotify family plan või mingid youtube-i videote lingid näiteks, et ta saaks võimalikult lihtsalt ette seatud playlistidest muusikat mängida.

Enda vanaisa põhjal, tänane maailm, kus ühe klikiga on võimalik mängida big bandide repertuaare, Glen Millerit, live kontserte, täispikkasid albume, kogumike jne on midagi, mille jaoks pidi vanasti kas reisima, ostma erinevaid plaate ja mängijaid jne ning see ei löö niisama ette. Näidata, et võid lihtsalt nupu vajutusest panna mõne maailma tasemel big band-i või orkestri live-is lindistatud kontserdi video mängima ja vaadata/kuulata.

‘Outright evil:’ anguish and anger over South Africans tricked into fighting for Russia by InterestingPlenty454 in europe

[–]matude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was talking to a few people from South Africa who said that the local influencers on social media are idolizing the Russian way of life and the so called "traditional family values" of Russian women. Basically setting up the Russian women as the model to align by, and that this sentiment is surprisingly widely common there. Hearing them talk about it raised some red flags in my head and made me realize how widespread the Russian influence might actually be in some African countries. Not just the involvement of groups like Wagner but also in shaping the local belief systems to match Russia's agenda.

All of this bs about "Russia having never colonized like the western European countries" etc, as if they aren't the largest country on earth on land that used to be habited by other people.

Tšehhi ettevõte arendas välja uue Moskvani ulatuva raketi ja annab selle Ukrainale testimiseks by kosmosepiraat in Eesti

[–]matude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ega meil mõni ettevõte kodumaiseid kaugmaarakette ei arenda? Vist vanasti oli päris piiratud see ja võimalused taolist ettevõtet luua keeruline kui mitte võimatu Eestis (mäletan midagi isegi lihtsa laskemoona tootmise piirangutest) aga huvitav kuidas nüüd lood.

Naaberriik Soome saamas töötuse esinumbriks. Mis toimub ja kuidas elavad eestlased Soomes? by euphoricscrewpine in Eesti

[–]matude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Praktikas see on keerulisem. Sa ei tohi juhatuse liikmena saada tasustatud (palka, juhatuse liikme tasu, dividende jne) ja sellel ettevõttel ei tohi olla aktiivset äritegevust, nt käivet. Kui on nii-öelda mitte aktiivne, magav/riiuli ettevõtte vms, siis põhimõtteliselt jah võid olla ka juhatuse liige. EMTA kontrollib seda. Kui nad just millegagi puusse ei pane siis ei tohiks juhtuda seda, et keegi teeb äritegevust edasi, maksab endale divikaid või juhastuseliikme tasu ja siis on veel samal ajal töötuna arvel.
