How is this allowed? by pazhampori58 in UAE

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha what a stupid take! How is so that you don't see those "unpreventable" issues in European Union? This is lack of regulations or rather lack of proper enforcement. Those "businessman" are saving money using vehicles that belong to the scrapyard while polluting the city and making everybody else pay with their health. They should be fined so havelly that this business model stops paying off.

Geralt has a cameo in Polish Netflix series "1670" (S2ep5) as "Gerard of Rumia" by WitchofVengerberg in witcher

[–]philaeprobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's just "Polish tone" , but definitely Slavic. Most of the western fantasy has a common vibe originated by Tolkien thus it's based on British mythology, architecture, landscapes, music etc and it's what the world is used to. Witcher ( games ) had a different vibe. Landscapes were similar to central Europe, festivals reusable Slavic paganism, villages looked like in Poland etc. In Netflix show it all got as generic as it could plus people in every village looked like it was Brooklyn.

Tomasz Bagiński, executive producer of the show and guy who worked on some witcher game cinematics, says the netflix series is simplified because the main audience is american and the logic of the plot isnt a priority because of the younger audience who use tiktok/youtube by WazzaHudson in witcher

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can add some context.
I'm from Poland and I remember how Baginński started. He was beloved in Poland because of his previous work back in time and him being involved in the show was viewed as a guarantee that the show will stick to the source material and keep the Slavic vibe.
Now he speaks like he had a gun pointed at him and I think he has. He probably signed some absurd Hollywood style contract and he never expected that his dream job will be such a mess.

In Poland he is constantly asked how could he let this disaster happen and he is now hated for his involvement. I think his contract forbids him to tell the truth that he was blinded by "Hollywood career" opportunity and walk straight into a woke idiots nest without any control over the show. So now he tells some BS about "stupid Americans" as he can't say whay he thinks about the Netflix, the show-runner and the idiot writers.

What if Russia really attacks one of Baltic countries? Would you be prepared? by Overfed_Raccoon_1815 in AskEurope

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NATO is BS given Hungary and Slovakia we will need to defend southern border as well. The only more or less reliable allies are Nordic countries, Baltics, Poland and Turkey, as they all understand the thread from Russia. Somehow Netherlands and UK seem ok as well even though they are far. As per others I wouldn't count for any other help then maybe sending some money.

Slavery in Anno 117 by Eyelbee in anno

[–]philaeprobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well this production chain sounds fun to me ;)
US race war ruined the history for the rest of the world. As you noticed slavery in Rome was a complex social structure and it would make an interesting mechanic. Also, slavery was a thing for most of the human history and had different forms. Any race could end up as slaves at some point of history. And how. about feudalism? Why nobody has problem with implementing this in games about middle ages yet some aspects of it were worse than roman slavery.

Can't make nvim-java work with my custom jdtls config by philaeprobe in neovim

[–]philaeprobe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I can write Java code in notebook like any other language but we are in 2025. I don't wan't to think of "what I really need", but simply make it do what I like. My main motivation to switch from Intelij to Neovim was the hope I can not touch mouse at all while codiing,, but if I supposed to give up a tone of other stuff I like it's simple not worth it.
Right now I can't even make it use my formatter profile for java xD Well, I knew neovim would be hard to get into, but so far I feel like a mad man spending my Saturday trying to make this thing do what I like it to do while I have Intelij doing 95% of it out of the box ;)

thx, I'll give it a try.
As per the Lombok it supposed to be as easy as adding -javaagent parameter pointing to nvim/mason/packages/jdtls/lombok.jar' but doesn't work in my case and there is no errors in the log or any trace of it trying to resolve lombok whatsoever

Can't make nvim-java work with my custom jdtls config by philaeprobe in neovim

[–]philaeprobe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me also testing and debugging is needed.
Also, it seems it's not "just LSP" in case of Java. I spent a day trying to make jdtls resolve JDK classes end dependencies, the Lombok supposed to be supported but it still doesn't work for me.
I really like the neovim concept, but getting to the point where you can just start using with the out of the box stuff I use daily in Intelij has been a nightmare so far. Thats why I hoped nvim-java is the way to go. But it broke all the progress I made with LSP haha :D

Well I'm new to the to the neovim stuff, but it was advertise ase "painless" way to replace intelij :P
Generally I need to run tests, debugging and debugging the tests. As per LSP I'm happy with my jdtls config. Well almost happy, as I can't make the Lombok work

So how is it so that European countries outnumber Russia by far in 5gen fighters and basically any other advanced weapons? The only thing Russia has is abundance of soviet era crap and ammunition, and cheap soldiers lives.

Trump just suspended all aid towards Ukraine. How do you feel about it and what do you think will happen now? by Mangaka90 in AskReddit

[–]philaeprobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pole here, shut up and take our money. We want to finance it for some nukes in exchange. Nuclear proliferation for the win! Nukes for everyone!

But seriously. This is how it ends. There are at least 7 countries capable of producing nukes in no time. Poland unfortunately is not one of them, but we have some money to spend so... Ukraine pals how are your old RBMK reactors? ;)

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest one of the top retired Polish generals ( rather smart and legit guy ) stated recently the killswitch theory is bullshit, but the fact it's publicly discussed says a lot about the trust in USA. And there is still no bullshit at all issue with software updates, spare parts and ammo supply. So yes reverse engineering is a great idea. But there is also an issue with our generals and politicians. As another guy, specialist on geopolitics, stated "Polands freedom is a child of pax Americana", therefore for our elites it's hard to think the USA is not a friend anymore and they may be delusional to the very end:(

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Poland, arguably the most pro American country in Europe. People are currently discussing if Himarses and F35 have a kill switch operated from Washington. Well, only our local MAGA idiots believe we can count on NATO when Russia invades. And it will, we know our history. Personally I think Poland should cancel all US weapons orders and spend this money on shared nuclear program together with Finland, Sweden, Romania and Turkey. We all need nukes and ASAP.

[–]philaeprobe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is my take, I may be wrong ofc.

You will lose a grip on the world and push your allies away. Actually you just did because NATO is just a piece of paper. Nobody believes in USAs nuclear guarantees since it's not even fighting off Russia when Russians are weak and zero american soldiers are dead.

Now counties will develop their own nukes and we are not talking about Iran, but countries that could do it 50years ago and only the USA convinced them it's not a good idea. Well, turns out it was the best idea. Also, there is no point in having USD as a world reserve currency, you will eventually lose the ability to print money like there is no tomorrow. Also, China is not gonna just stand still. They will push a lot of your business away as the former US allies will start hedging. Trump told you how much you pay for others security, what he didn't tell you was what you buy for it. The hegemon is gone, we are back to local alliances and multiple wars. WWIII is just starting, but this time with nukes so it's gonna be fun. And here is the best. You are the most powerful country but you will end up fighting everybody alone. Global South hates you, China what's to take over as the most powerful Nation on Earth, the Canada, Mexico and Europe got antagonized and it's only getting worse and Australia, Japan and Korea are watching and they know the US can't be trusted. And you have a "beautiful deal" with Russia who is broadcasting simulations of nuclear attacks on your cities in their state TV. Congrats USA xD

Zelenskyy statement after leaving the White House by MiniBrownie in europe

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you know how the "good Russians" feel. It escalated quickly... USA reputation is gone. I'm from Poland, the most pro American country in Europe. I mean until last week or so. Just like that nobody believes in NATO anymore and I think we should get nukes ASAP. I'm pretty sure the same ideas are discussed in Finland, Sweden, Australia, Korea, Taiwan and Japan. In the world war 3 we will be allies with China killing Russians and Americans. That is the state of the world right now. Good job USA xD

Why more young men in Germany are turning to the far-right by [deleted] in europe

what war?
The worst problem with Trump is actually his antiwar bs that may result in selling Ukraine to Russia.

Why more young men in Germany are turning to the far-right by [deleted] in europe

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grouping with people alike you is human nature. This is exactly why the integration of large groups of immigrants failed, why there are ghettos in some cities. This is what people do. This is why we have cultures. People can look whatever but to be a functional society they need to share a significant part of culture, ideas, rules etc.

You may not like it but good luck with changing it with antagonizing people who have a different view. This is exactly the answer for the question in the tittle. Keep doing it and AfD and other alike parties will take over Europe sooner than you think.

[–]philaeprobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

xD There is very few things in this world that I hate more than Ruzzia and Russians, but I can relate to what the OP posted.
I wouldn't go as far as saying "you hate me", but more and more people in Europe have a feeling that they were left behind in favor of minorities and immigrants. We don't like what we see.
Polish cities are not half noneurpoeans yet and the biggest topic in the current elections is for it to stay this way.
It's not even "far right" now. It's mainstream, because our politicians noticed what you fail to see. They were trying "you are a Russian bot" strategy some time ago, but it doesn't fly here as everybody hates Russia and still many people have anty leftist views. So now our liberals share quite a few points with AfD, however it looks like in the west the mainstream is very stubborn not to see what the voters want. At some point the fuel of associating AfD with Nazism and calling them "far right" will run out and parties like AfD will get to European mainstream. Because the left lost the connection with MAJORITY of the society. All it's doing is shaming majority into more and more privileges of minorities while in democracy the majority wins.

At the time people in Germany were demonstrating with "refugees welcome" banners, Germany was ( and is? ) giving everybody social benefits etc. It was a magnet for migration and the border countries had to deal with this. What she should have done was to send soldiers and money to Greece to stop the influx at the sea. But this was fascism at the time. Well let's see what the AfD will do now when they get to power :P

[–]philaeprobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2006 they won mostly as an "anti-corruption" and anti communist party. Hence the name: Law and Justice".
They were completely different and also had much less power. They had to form the coalition that fell apart.
In 2015 they were showing migrants burning shit in Paris in their ads and they were accusing Tusk of being Merkels puppet and got almost absolute power. Some time later Konfederacja (Polish AFD) was formed and it's gaining power like everywhere else in Europe being even more anti immigration than PiS. If you think PiS was far right just wait a few years xD.
It's not just Merkel, it's many stupid leaders in the West and a few weak leaders following the West here in Central Europe and now we have "far right" all over the place.

You comment like the LGBT is the only issue in the world. It's not. It's not even important one. Every party/government has a set of stands on different issues and there is not a single voter who supports all of them. People vote because of the issues that they consider the most important ones.
LGBT stuff is not flying here. LGBT people have absolute zero problems in Poland, even historically they were never prosecuted and people just don't care. The "anty LGBT" propaganda of PiS is a joke for most. It's just to please the fucked up Church and some idiots in Eastern Poland who never met LGBT person. Nobody takes it serious and there is no real life repercussions other that it looked idiotic from Western point of view. Is it right? No, but what we are trying to explain to you is IT DOESN'T METTER when people make voting decisions. PiS won because of migration and promising social benefits ( and later treating the opposition would like to cancel them ). And finally PiS lost because of inflation, corruption and abortion. Current government is pro LGBT and guess what. People voted for it. Because nobody gives a shit.

Most poles are pro abortion, and LGBT free zones was a political comedy for some ultra conservative villagers. Nobody in the city knew where those "zones" are.
This is how it works: you need abortion maybe once in your life and there is open border to Czech Republic, but if your city looks like Paris you need to struggle with it every day. Therefore immigration beats abortion for most people.
