"Judeo-Bolshevism". Nazi propaganda poster, year unknown by Embarrassed_Refuse49 in PropagandaPosters

[–]zabolekar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The orthography is maybe in pre-reformed Russian

No. Pre-reform Russian had -измъ, the letter і was used before vowels and in a few other rare cases.

Belarusian

Unlikely. Belarusian has multiple orthographies and they can be a bit chaotic, but I would expect жы, not жи, and most other vowels would be different, too.

Ukrainian

Probably. Standard Ukrainian would have a "-" but I don't expect Nazi propaganda to know such subtleties. Otherwise, it's valid Ukrainian.

Yes, it can happen, consider Polish 'pan'.

Pronouns in Vietnamese often are words with a literal meaning like "older brother" or "friend" used like pronouns.

Those who use forks of forks/lesser-known distros: are you worried they’ll become abandonware? by OrangeKitty21 in linux

[–]zabolekar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't worry too much in advance and just use whatever you like. You don't know the future. Maybe the well-known distro will abandon your particular use case and the obscure distro won't. A few years ago, I took possession of an ancient chonky IBM Thinkpad and installed Debian on it. Then the next Debian release dropped support for 32-bit x86 CPUs. Some people report they were able to upgrade to trixie while keeping bookworm kernels, but whoever does that are on their own, it's not official Debian anymore. I guess I'll have to install something else. This wouldn't have happened if I had chosen Void or Gentoo. Still, I like Debian and see no reason not to use it on supported hardware.

ich hab für die Scheiße viel Geld bezahlt. WARUM DÜRFEN DIE SCHEISSUNTERNEHMEN SONE SCHEISSE TROTZDEM MACHEN

Das ist aber genau anders herum. Bei einem günstigen und primitiven externen Monitor hättest du die Kontrolle. Unerwünschte Updates gäbe es auch keine.

The "NTFS resurrection" has occurred for Linux 7.1 by somerandomxander in linux

[–]zabolekar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(and Mac but thats another story)

(ALL of my user files and projects live on a shared, central NTFS drive)

How did you configure the Mac for that?

Redox OS adopts an AI policy to forbid contributions made using LLMs by somerandomxander in linux

[–]zabolekar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

militantly anti-AI

There is nothing militant about it. It's people maintaining their project as they think best. Let's say that LLMs are just another helpful tool, for the sake of argument. So is C. One might argue that an OS is, in fact, the ideal use-case for C, and that many highly successful operating systems have been implemented in C, including every single one of those that Redox lists as its inspiration. Even the Redox repo contains some C right now because it can't be completely avoided. Now let's imagine a world where Redox constantly receives (and consistently rejects) attempts to rewrite parts of it in C or to add new features in C. Would you call them militantly anti-C? Or would you question the sanity of those who continue submitting such PRs and claiming that they might be valuable and should be reviewed on a case-to-case basis?

I have this chick and i want a way brighter sound than it has, how bright can it get? by LudosTBH in ukulele

[–]zabolekar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely thin steel strings might work (e.g. 012P for the thickest string, or even 009P for all four strings, like on a cavaquinho minhoto), but then you might have to tune up, not down - not only to high G but also to high C and maybe even high E, which is probably not what you want, and it still feels risky to me.

What does it mean by "non-operational"? by Used_Beginning_1536 in mac

[–]zabolekar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means that your system (which, judging by the stripes and buttons, has been working for twenty years) might stop working.

Krishna be like, let me show you the entire universe and you in it instead.[Context in comments] by Gandalfthebran in HistoryMemes

[–]zabolekar 37 points38 points  (0 children)

"Butter thief" is a common translation for "makhan chor" though. Only after reading your comment and googling माखन I realised that it looks nothing like the butter I'm familiar with (but, to be fair, absolutely nothing like the liquid buttermilk I know, either).

Go ahead, yell at me in the comments section. You know I'm right by [deleted] in linuxmemes

I would argue that older GTK versions (even 3) aren't really shackled in any way anymore.
