@gemlog Good word! Among the few Russian (albeit transliterated) ones that have made it into English dictionaries. Along with nomenklatura, apparatchik… Only dacha comes to mind that is not about… a particular group of people 😅

@gemlog TBH when I came across this term for the first time myself, I didn't like it — a lot of the jokes were really poor taste.
But then 2014 happened and I was like: "Okay, they ARE REALLY like that, I no longer mind if this word becomes commonly accepted" 🤣

@gemlog There were a few phone conversations leaked recently hinting that he's getting unpopular even among business elites — no wonder, when their own wealth is in danger due to sanctions. Yet, we aren't seeing any defections, looks like scaring them to "hold the line" works quite well.

@gemlog As stated in the article, there are a lot of "mysterious" suicide cases among businessmen and they are happening more and more often, I can't pick any from top off my head, but it happens to high-ranking "siloviki" too, even if some of these suicides and accidents weren't staged, no one's against treating them as assassinations. It's evident that Putin got EXTREMELY paranoid as of recent, him using this as a tool to keep his inner circle in check isn't hard to believe.

@gemlog Political assassinations are a plausible theory. They have never been viewed as something unthinkable in Russia, after all we've had a few good examples, like Litvinenko, Politkovskaya and the more recent ones: Nemtsov, The Skripals, Navalny's assassination attempt. Some happened domestically so were never properly investigated, but no one believes official version of course. Berezovsky's "suicide" was underinvestigated, but the consensus is that it's also one of such cases.

My phone has excellent battery life — it can easily last over 7 days on single charge in standby.
About 4-5 days on average usage. I still charge it every couple of days, although I don't have to, I just feel uncomfortable leaving home with battery less than half charged, and I rarely charge it up to 100%.

> Old school phones went for months!
Most didn't, a few Panasonic models with extra large batteries maybe did. On average, if you didn't talk much, you still had to charge them at least weekly.
And the secret technology that old phones used — there wasn't much you could do with them 😂
Nowadays most people spend hours using their phones, not necessarily for conversations.

@thatguyoverthere This guy might be a Nazi on the Internet himself.
Might even do both. At the same time! 😂

@neural_meduza Не буду, отстань! 😄

@neural_meduza Резонно. Но всё равно как-то грустно 😩

No, I mean even getting color emojis to work was trouble, it just had problems with variable width characters.
But I haven't used it in years, maybe it's patched already. Sure, give it a try, doing so will do no harm 🤷
Urxvt used to be fast with very minimal feature set — pretty much in the vein of alacritty. It's probably the other way around though, since it came earlier 😅

@james

@MostlyHarmless Just 47? Are they still limiting number of guests due to pandemic? 😂

@DotardTed Human children aren't too different in this regard 🤣

@neural_meduza А Литвы можно? У них пиво вкуснее.
Правда, ещё оно оно нравится Нарышкину: https://theins.ru/ekonomika/261162

@radix023
Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. I'm new to Android phones and tend to forget that perfect hardware might be easily ruined by abysmal support period. And you can't get away with just enthusiasts porting newer Android versions to the device, some low-level stuff no one else has access to still has to be maintained by the phone maker.

@Aleums@octodon.social I wonder what their reaction is when you call them "it girls"? 😏

@thor I think if color fills the whole wall, that tiny difference might stand out 🤷
