You can do both

For example, Ad Nauseam blocks ads from your view, based on uBlock Origin, but also visits them behind the scenes so as to poison your ad profile.

I see

Interesting, though Goanna is still a Gecko fork.

It’s…complicated.

On one end, a clear sign of “f*** you” with such decisions is important. On the other, Mozilla is already in a rough place, and with so many genuinely good projects, including Waterfox, depending on Firefox or at least Gecko, this is akin to biting the hand that feeds you.

All these teams cannot maintain their own browser engine, and without it, they may as well turn to dust. Thereby, maintaining their upstream is in their best interest.

The classic ones are “шиншилла” and “лишишься”, although the latter could be extended to “лишившийся”. 11 of the same strokes for the latter, if my calcultations are correct.

You were telling about cultures worth preserving - and by your definition, most of the cultures you list were not worth preserving and should have become extinct. Good thing that they were preserved even through the worst of times.

About half of these countries were militaristic authoritarianist shitholes, some even not that long ago by historical measures. All of them had some shameful moments in history.

Yet, all these cultures have proliferated, and you consider them worthy of studying. Same idea here. Give it time.

True lol

But figuring out just how much “u” you need to write, or how many are there, is a bit tedious without the language experience.

Name me one major culture that was not poisoned by dictatorship, misinformation, and hate.

They all are. Our duty is to take the best of each.

You need to Polish your joke a little

A casual reminder that Slavs are a diverse group of people not united by the same ideas and political agenda.

If your worry is association with Russia specifically, several Slavic countries are actively anti-Russia and are parts of NATO.

Ukraine is Slavic, too.

I mean, actual Russians are native Russian speakers and majority sees through Chekist bullshit, so this checks out!

Shout out to Interslavic! This is a language that is comprised of common words and roots from all Slavic languages, all united under consistent rules.

Learning it will enable you to understand all Slavs to a good degree, and they will in turn understand you very well.

Knowing 2 Slavic languages (3 if we count basic Czech), I can confirm it works.

Russian culture spans way beyond whatever Putin’s currently doing, and has given the world an immense cultural, scientific, historic heritage.

Trying to cancel and destroy Russian culture is akin to destroying German culture and heritage just because one German dude with a weird moustache decided to start Holocaust.

Would be a tragedy to lose either.

As a Russian myself, it depends.

Do you want to explore classic Russian literature without translation losses? Explore the cultural ties of Russians and how language and culture affects history and politics? Figure out what Russian politicians are saying? Hang out with Russians somewhere? Are a proud pirate looking for Russian resources? Finally figure out how to write the word “лишишься” in cursive?

If at least one answer is “yes”, go ahead! It’s not easy, but quite rewarding. If you just want to dip your toes a little, however, and feel like you grasp something, there are better options.

If a glass platter really holds 360TB and can be made affordable, it wouldn’t really matter.

They might be more common than you think!

Lemmy/PieFed isn’t all US and EU. People from all kinds of places can be found here.

Incredibly stupid, but should work

My favorite kind of advice

So, Google could be allowed to have the tools to collect, store, and process CSAM all over the Web without oversight?

Pretty much everyone else would get straight to jail for attempting that.

As always, there’s a relevant XKCD:
