The Red one? Or the opposite of it? Blue Alert? 🤔

@yogthos Yeah, I get it. The October Revolution was important for Bolsheviks, but it was not what ended the monarchy, this was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_Revolution
The Bolsheviks weren't the only acting power and not even the only socialist power. I think that this is a very important detail that is often overlooked or somehow diminished in the Soviet history, while the importance of October events is overblown 🤷

@thor True, there was no use for that. Panning and FX were done on mixer's side.
This approach to stereo — when you put certain instruments at a particular position on the scene: guitar goes here, bass goes here… sounds a bit cringe nowadays 😅

@yogthos That's true!
I am left-leaning myself, but as the one born in the Soviet Union, I can't stand some parts of the Soviet mythos, The Great October Revolution is one of those. It makes it look like Bolsheviks were the only power responsible for stripping the Tsar of his powers — it's simply not true. The Left would sound way more credible if they stopped pushing it. The article may look biased because of that headline, while in fact it isn't — that was my point.

@volpeon My instance doesn't even support direct messages, let alone E2EE encrypted ones 🤣

@yogthos It wasn't workers revolution that overthrown the tsar, he was already not in power. They've overthrown the interim government. Other than that, the article seems neutral and nice. At least it's not whitewashing Stalin, who brought all the tsarist practices back, including the new serfdom, so the workers and especially the peasants got the worst of both worlds.
But yeah, White Terror is just as real as the Red one.

@neglesaks@mstdn.io Exactly!
Even though I never had Twitter account, the fact that I could read it without one, made me consider having an account. If there was a way to do so without giving them my phone number, I'd probably do that.
With Facebook/Instagram I've never even had a thought. If someone sends me a link to FB/Insta, I just ignore that 🤭

@truthaddict@noagendasocial.com That's if horses make it! I bet, we'll probably ride giant snails or something similar by then 😂

@ralf
True, but with Chromium nothing of value is at stake. So in this case they are doing God's work. If they can somehow derail Google with this, they have my full support 😂

@DotardTed Wow, I'm surprised this Kurginyan freak is still alive! We don't see him that often nowadays, in 2014-2015 he used to be way more prominent.

@ne You could enable root user on earlier versions using Netinfo Manager, I'm not sure you can still do that with all the security measures they enforce now. What's funny, there was a bug, in 10.13 I think, that allowed root login without password, an epic fail: https://www.howtogeek.com/334611/huge-macos-bug-allows-root-login-without-a-password.-heres-the-fix/

@babumenos
It won't get abused if you could see the edit history like diffs. I wonder if there is a way to implement that 🤔
@megmac @ajsadauskas

@rootbsd I am taller than average and for my generation I was considered very tall, but I could never get this height requirement. I know many tall girls, but short ones are often hotter IMO. I mean what are they trying to achieve with that, build a relationship or win a contest at a village festival? 🤷

@amerika
I like it too! As if it is the main selling point, not that they're tasty 🤣
@prehensile

@safi3@mstdn.starnix.network Looks like GOG started using the same tactics. Recently I've logged in to get Jazz Jackrabbit by your advice after not doing that for over two years. I've turned off all the email notifications and promotions to make my inbox cleaner, but now I'm getting all these sale e-mail messages again!
I'm in Russia so I can't buy any games even if I want to, but I still get the promos 🤣

@DotardTed
And it's not even a proper economic bloc it's often being "marketed" as. It's just a group of developing countries lumped together and although it did become an intergovernmental organization, originally it wasn't even that 🤷
From the Wikipedia article: "…in 2001 by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O'Neill, who coined the term to describe fast-growing economies that would collectively dominate the global economy by 2050"
Oh my! 🤣
@chris

@paraponera
Oh, don't worry, it was just a joke. I'm pretty sure you have good reasons to do it, but if you don't know the backstory, it sound like a cunning thing, you know, like switching sides in a battle 🤭

@paraponera
Moving to an instance blocked by your original instance is some seriously machiavellian shish 😅

@paraponera
I love warmer colours and my displays are always tuned that way — 4500k or warmer when it's possible. Sometimes I don't even notice when night mode kicks in. Maybe that is why I'm always sleepy 😂

> Not everyone's taste but worth a try.
Ha, it's actually quite popular in Russia! Not as popular as sunflower seeds, but there are a dozen of brands, every supermarket has them. I guess that's why no one bothers making them at home. I've never tried homemade ones, now that I think of it… I have to! Thanks for the idea!
