- Comment on The crusade against Lemmy devs, lemmy.ml, and so-called "tankies" 2 days ago:
Owen did not answer, but I think I can.
I once wrote that genociding Uyghurs is bad, and that comment of mine got promptly deleted by the lemmy.ml admins. It being forbidden to talk about a genocide happening because it’s happening in territories held by China and not in the west is a very big red flag!
Another one is that you’re not allowed to talk about Holodomor, which was a genocide done by Moscow against Ukrainians about one century ago.
I am very surprised that at the same time they do allow talking about the genocide Israel is doing to Palestinians. The lemmy.ml admins are absolutely inconsistent. But, at least some genocides are bad even in their eyes.

Yeah, it seems to have appeared again at some point. I’ll need to learn how to run it on Linux, but it apparently should be possible indeed! Or maybe I’ll find some place with a Windows computer to try it. Nice! :)

Oh, apparently Rockstar has made it playable again at some point. Nice! :)

How about GTA2? That’s by far the best game in the series! When are we going to get to play that one again?

I’d imagine one could make plenty of art from that many metres of blue plastic cord. No idea how to find a suitable artist, but someone sure would have artistic use for your waste!

On Lemmy, firsty press the magnifying glass button on the upper right:
Then, in this menu, choose “Communities":
As last, write here something that makes sense, and you’ll get a list of communities mentioning that:
…and press [Search]
Choose something that is not on lemmy.ml, and got on posting :)

Oh, so Stellaris 4 is out already?!
I’m apparently currently running Stellaris 4.2.3. I didn’t even know it’s not Stellaris 1 anymore!
It’s… Weird. If they consider there to have been already Stellaris 2 and Stellaris 3, meaning they see it as a different game, then… Why just delete Stellaris 1?
But also, I do need to try downgrading to 2.1.3 and see how it feels now that I’m used to the ways of Stellaris 4! - Comment on Yes, Paradox are aware that a “barrage of DLCs” can scare away new players, for all their bundles and discounts 1 week ago:
I think the 1.0 build is still available on steam
…wut?! How?

Is there actually a way to get to play the original? We now kind of have Stellaris 2, and Stellaris 1 is some kind of abandonware?! Although officially they are both Stellaris 1, of course.

It only says “this is a preview” and doesn’t actually seem to include any useful text?

The word “celebtate” fits the comment surprisingly well!
- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 2 weeks ago:
Many good answers have been given already. One more is that many people understand it would be better for the environment and their own health if they biked instead of driving a car. Yet getting a car was one of the symbols of having the means for a good life. If you are able to let go of your car, it shows that you have held pointless things as important parts of your identity. You don’t want to have been a moron, do you?
So, you suppress the idea that you could be doing something else than what you are doing. And other people bicycling is kind of in-your-face. They show that you could have an alternative, and that causes a feeling of guilt in you. And that feeling of guilt is uncomfortable, and the people riding their bicycles are what have triggered that feeling. In other words: They have ruined your day by making you feel guilt. A completely self-created guilt, but an annoying feeling all the same. And then you hate everything that is connected to those people that keep ruining your days by the virtue of visibly existing.
This is not necessarily the reason for all of the people opposing bike infrastructure, but it is one of the important reasons for many.

Highly esteemed fellow fedinaut, I hereby enclose the information your fediness has requested:
No late fees are collected for children’s books in Helsinki.
For everything else, it’s 0,20 € per item and day. - Comment on HONK 2 weeks ago:
That’s pretty much the Finnish language :D
Just check out the difference between these two phrases written in our goose-y language:
Tapaan sinut.
means I will meet you.
Tapan sinut.
means I will kill you.
(You can use your machine translation of choice to check the meanings of those two phrases, if you wish.)

Glad to be of use!
Oh, and here’s an incomplete Wikipedia article about that cow (and the almost not main character, which is a crow): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_Moo
- Comment on Slay Girl 3 weeks ago:
Once upon a time there was a crow who was befriended with a talking cow that really, really liked to sit in a swing! (The original name of the book actually implies that the cow has a child, which is kind of freaky, because there is zero mention about the child, and actually reason to believe the child is nowhere around anymore. Why is the book not talking about the cow’s trauma at all?!)
In any case, once the cow had climbed to a tree for fun, and it was very important that the farmer won’t notice, because cows are not supposed to climb trees. The crow did a good job warning the cow when the farmer was approaching and damn it, I cannot remember what the hell the book tells, wait, maybe in the children’s room there’s another book about the same two animals!
…nope, couldn’t find it. But, would you like to hear a story of a father who recently found three children’s books that should have been brought back to the library a week ago?
I hope this story about a crow sated your appetite for crows!
- Comment on Slay Girl 3 weeks ago:
Sorry for getting your hopes up. It’s there a couple comments up from this one :)
- Comment on Slay Girl 3 weeks ago:
Crow are generally awesome! I’ve only ever met one that I really didn’t like. Want to read a story featuring that one? 🙃
- Comment on Slay Girl 3 weeks ago:
Something even more seagull-compatible than that. I don’t remember what food I happened to have with me, because this happened some, 5-ish years ago? (It also was not a surgical mask, BTW!)
- Comment on Slay Girl 3 weeks ago:
I think I saw her once, actually! A crow was harassing one of the small ones – it looked like it was trying to catch it to eat, probably?
A seagull saw what’s going on and went full-blown “I’m a parent as well, you bastard!”, and chased the crow away. And really not just a few tens of metres away or so, but really chased them away from the whole general area where the mom with really cool hair was swimming with her family!
- Comment on Learning Japanese 3 weeks ago:
At least Wiktionary completely agrees with you!
- Comment on Learning Japanese 3 weeks ago:
Literally it’s more like “non-speakers”, though, isn’t it? Nie + mowić = Not + to speak.
So, maybe in contemporary Polish the word has been polished to mean “mute”, but could be that they were “those damn non-speakers [of our Polish] across that river-thing!”
