i think eastern europeans are kinda right to pursue different priorities than racial diversity in their works, however, shutting it down with "lol what diversity nonsense" is an amazing strategy of going from being more or less unjustly accused of being racist to actually being racist, clap clap guys

@karen it's a pretty big deal for some people here too

@karolat I don't think naive (would use a more loaded word, but let's be nice) libertarianism is an ideology that would make people do any kind of activism or political work that could help, especially if they don't really believe in it

@karolat you know he isn't going to do anything that really counts

@karolat that's a bit cruel

Lol

@lain @karen more like under socialism, everyone would have a liquid cooled high end PC. Just one. For everyone. Together.

Mrmly brbly all is bad.

@lain "have you considered living in a small town somewhere in a middle of nothing?"

@MightyPork tak to je cena za víc fancy konvici čaje v čajovně

@MightyPork co, to se neplatí za čaj ani v centru

@MightyPork yeah, like, why is it Nuselské stairs and not under Karlov or some shit. And why is it Nuselské stairs and not Nusle stairs. And...

This is just so much of we don't give a fuck so so bloody hard. It makes me angry.

Jfc, nobody asked for this stupid half-assed translations of the stop names. Nobody. Just because you have an algo and some data doesn't mean you have to screw everything up. If I ever say Google needs to be burnt down to the ground, it's going to be because of this. Stop names are well established and used in a single language here. This is something you should never push into production unless you just don't give a fuck about anyone ever using it.

And this android system is falling apart again. Getting really tired of it.

@LottieVixen I mean, you could probably expect a single European electric 4axle loco to haul 3k or more on a flat route, but we want freight to be fast so it doesn't kill passenger traffic on the shared tracks and so on. Also, this thing is heavier than almost 4 of such electrics. It's just massive and totally impractical here. Or even in most of Russia tbh.

@LottieVixen yes. :-) it's really a lot, normal EU freight will rarely exceed 2k tons

@LottieVixen they have this shit in Russia, it's huge af and also has a huge cistern so it can actually go somewhere and not run out of fuel

@LottieVixen it's in the name, it's a diesel engine, definitely not a turbine, that's more like a failed experiment of the 60's and 70's or an M1 Abrams tank

Look, we're still alive and found an excuse to tell you about it!

@TheKinrar I mean, there probably is one, but likely was't widely used. A 1920's travel guide would probably use heavily altered transcriptions to describe local places so the reader unfamiliar with the language would get the right impression.
