@cafkafk Correct it by editing the post directly in the database! This will cause all sorts of inconsistencies, but who cares, right? 😁
@neural_meduza Нет, ну вот чем это отличается от настоящих новостей? Разве что вранья меньше 😄
@neural_meduza Я долго думал над этим заголовком — только через полминуты я понял, что это Нейромедуза 🤦
@gemlog Wow! No, I didn't, that's interesting!
The character used to be insanely popular in the USSR (and ex-Soviet countries), we even have our own animated cartoon about him (there weren't many other cartoons, hence the popularity).
The characters in it look very differently from what the rest of the world is used to, something like this.
No, the video is a joke of course, they do not actually play System of a Down song in the original cartoon 😆
But they do look like this.
@kevinrothrock Nothing's impossible for Putin, there is always a way for them to reunite 😅
Wow, is this account real or just automated reposts from elsewhere?
@gemlog I think, in 🇨🇳 you can go to jail for figuring out who Winnie the Pooh is 😂
It's both funny and not.
@thor When I just became unemployed, I have had to see a real girl once every two weeks to continue receiving unemployment benefits. It was fun, at least I had to sober up every now and then 😂
@tobestewart I don't think it's a war of attrition, you have to fight back 😆
@kravietz
Like I said many times before, in Russia government is brutal, but at least it's also incompetent — I'm not so sure about China.
@kravietz
Hard to admit that revanchism is some trait of Russians, but that is exactly what everyone observes now. I don't know how to put it to not make it look like blame shifting, I think that non-free regime always brings out the worst in people, people are not limited to it, but it's always the worst that gets exploited. By analogy that is why I'm rather sceptical about China in this regard — they are just as far from liberal democracy than Russia is, maybe even more so.
@kravietz
Interesting theory! I think explaination for that might be more simple than that, focused on short term interests, but might also be way more complex, focused on something long term that we are yet to see. Might even be both — that is the worst part.
But I agree, we can only speculate about what China's game is here.
@useless_idiot Yeah, that definitely was a mistake, instead of making 🇨🇳 and 🇷🇺 more democratic, it "tainted" 🇩🇪 and whole 🇪🇺 with it.
I couldn't even imagine the scale of corruption, I was expecting at least what we have now sanction-wise in 2014-15, but no — it go back to business as usual pretty fast.
I bet with 🇨🇳 it's even worse as it's less obvious, they are really good at not being "in your face".
@threat
> but no one is using it
Well, services like Bubble and Station get this problem solved, I think the big turnoff for many was that there was nothing "interactive" on Gemini, no easy way to interact with each other, having standalone capsules and gemlogs felt like foing too far back in time.
But of course it would be even better to have better ways of intercommunication, just to avoid the centralization mistake too.
@threat Yeah, it feels the same way to me, like the web gets re-done, but this time avoiding the mistake we've made the last time. Recent discussion whether ANSI colorcodes should be supported universally looked very encouraging, I hate modern web with every single cell of my body, but even I'm not THAT conservative. With web we were like: "Oh, a marquee tag — lets' add a scrolling line of text everywhere!"
Lesson learned well, we can have anything now, but it doesn't necessarily mean we should😂
@useless_idiot I've never lived in Germany so I only judge by what I see from the outside, but it looks like Merkel's politics got Germany in the wrong in every possible way, but "her legacy" is still not considered something bad.
Then again, who am I to judge, we've got Putin who started the war in Europe and it got to the point when we can't even fix this shit ourselves anymore 😩
@threat Whoah! I've seen even the MIDI-saxophone thing, but not something like this!
No, my basses, even the remaining cheap one, are analogue, MIDI controllers are separate from them. Have both, but don't mix 😁
I still have a four octave keyboard and M-Audio Trigger Finger, and MPC-like drumpad device.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
