I’ve watched all of season one, and part of season two. A very recommendable thing to watch indeed, also partially because it shows very well what kind of place Ukraine is in the eyes of Ukrainians!

Nah. I am a Finn. I do hear Ukrainian almost daily in my life, but my own roots are elsewhere.

ugh, Putin’s mouthpiece– I was wondering when you’d show up.

I would say that esc is most likely being sincere here, and on Ukraine’s side and against putin.

It is a known problem in ZSU that many of the high-ranking officers were trained before year 2014. Before year 2014 the military in Ukraine was trained just the same was as it still is trained in Belarus and in the Russia. The further towards the very top your officers are trained post-2014, the better it is for you. But if you are in a unit where all the officers all the way to the top are pre-2014-trained, then yes, the only thing they can do is to rotate the handle of the meatgrinder. That’s why the Russia is not able to win the war.

But, changing the highest officers in middle of an actual war would cause such a chaos, that only more soldiers’ lives and only more territory would be lost in the chaos during the transition from old officers to new, too inexperienced, ones. They are doing that change, but because of the war, that change is horrendously slow.
There really isn’t much anything else that can be done than live with some units using the unnecessary meatgrinder-y pre-2014 tactics.

If esc is in one of those units where the leadership is merrily using him as a feed for a meat grinder, then yes, I can see why his motivation is not the highest. But even there: A meat-ground unit is doing more to defend Ukraine than not having any unit at all would. It is useful and important that also those units are manned! Esc-am slava for that! Maybe his units is not managed well enough to actually gain any new ground, but it’s keeping the orcs distracted from elsewhere, where better-managed troops are making progress.

So, homes, please be kind to esc. A soldier in one of the most exceptionally mismanaged units in the whole of ZSU is understandably disgruntled. Let’s be happy that he has the unimaginable willpower it takes to not flee under such conditions. He is needed and he is important. They are maybe using only 10% of his capability, but with the capability he has, even those 10% are a LOT!

Eventually the Russia will leave all of Ukraine, including Crimea. That will happen once their logistics are destroyed using long-range sanctions. The military action is only a small-ish part in the whole victory, but it is one without which the victory would be impossible. There is no way for the Russia to avoid having to eventually leave Ukraine, because the Russia will eventually crumble from within. In 2022 it was said that it will happen late 2025. That turned out to be an optimistic assumption, but it looks like 2026 is really the year where either there will be a conclusive victory, or we will at least be in a situation where the victory is already unambiguous, but the enemy will still fight until the last centimetre, just like their spiritual predecessors mindlessly did until May the 8th, 1945.

SLAVA UKRAJINI!

I also figured out later that offline maps you can download on your phone beforehand and use even without Internet don’t help a shit if you haven’t happened to download them before the Internet we t down.

“The Internet is down, therefore I will download offline maps” isn’t the breakthrough idea I first assumed.

WWWWHY printed maps? They have their Russian-made Maps.me, which has offline-maps. And its equally Russian-made (but without the influence of the Kremlin ally corporation “Mail.ru”) fork, Organic maps.

And if they don’t like the Russian influence, they can use CoMaps.
When you have offline maps in your phone, what’s the problem with that?

The way that always works is to send a message to an admin.

In the case of .world, there are many alternatives that probably work better, though. Matrix and email are probably their preferred channels for this.

You can see those alternatives around halfway along the sidebar on the right, if you go to lemmy.world with a browser. And the admins list is at the very bottom of said sidebar.

I get my laptops from a city bureau.

They sell old laptops of Helsinki public servants. The hard drives are very thoroughly emptied and Ubuntu is installed. It’s a kind of a workshop for unemployed people, with the purpose of keeping them used to the concept of work. They get a tiny bit of extra money atop their unemployment benefit by working there.

This has all kinds of weird side effects, like how the actual buying process runs. Once you’ve decided what you want to buy, they print something akin to a receipt to you, and you need to walk some 100 metres or so to a wood workshop where they have a worker with a permission to handle money. You give them the receipt and money, and they give you back a other receipt to prove you have paid. And then you take that back to the shack made of corrugated metal that works as the computer shop, give the receipt to the guy there and carry your laptop home.

At one point they were selling old laptops of the.fire brigade. They were built so that you could very well use them as a hammer 🐳

Anyway, the shop is on the backyard of the Kyläsaari recycling centre in Helsinki. It closes at 15, so.it’s a little bit difficult to visit if you’ve got an eight to four job.

Thinkpad X280.

And if you tell where the hell my key for the cellar is, I can go downstairs and check what model the Thinkpad I bought in 2017 for 30 €. It’s now in my pile of broken laptops from which I should extract useful files some day :P

Something you can buy for 20 €.
Okay, I paid 60 € for mine and it’s good enough to play Skyrim and Stellaris :)

But the same shop sometimes sells laptops for 30 €. They come preinstalled with Ubuntu Linux and are absolutely fine for browsing the web.

I’m wondering why Musk elected to do this now. Most likely has to do with the Epstein files.

But, there are two different ways that may have had an effect. They both may have played a role, but not necessarily:

• Maybe Putin no longer has material for pressuring Musk when the cat is already out of the box anyway. If Musk wanted to support Ukraine, now it can.
• Musk must be furious at Trump for having been selected as one of the people to throw under the bus by choosing Musk as one of the people whose mentions should be published. If this is just it throwing a tantrum, there’s a sadly high chance that the Russia will regain its Starlink access once the assumed tantrum is over.

Both need to always be printed, with kJ first as that’s the official standard. But since in practical terms more people talk about kcal, they’ve required including that one as well. Here’s a photo:

(Also, all foodstuff must have the ingredients and nutritional values in the local language, so I wonder how this package of instant noodles made its way into my pantry!)

It’s somewhat a wild assumption that the only electronic appliance a household uses is a hair dryer.

Because total energy used is not what matters. What matters for most people is how much they have to pay. And they have to pay according to how many hours they were powering their devices with how many kilowatts.

People are – sadly – very uninterested in thinking about energy being indeed energy.

I have no clue of kcal, because I always read the numbers in kilojoules. And EU is not a part of Australia :) (And we need to mention the kJ because EU legislation is in effect in Finland where I live)

Sä et ilmeisesti ole ihan hirveästi tuolla ulkona sitten kulkenut? Otetaan nyt vaikka joku rändomi katu jostain Helsingin Pakilasta:

Leveyttä kolmen paloauton verran puskasta puskaan. Kaksi paloautoa vie vähemmän tilaa kuin kolme.

Ja tietty merkityksellistä tuo tilankäyttö on tietysti ennen kaikkea siellä, missä on käveltävän mittaluokan kaupunkia:

Mihin paloautot noita kahta parkkikaistaa tarvitsevat?

If you say that genociding Uyghurs is not okay, the lemmy.ml admins consider that to trigger the rule about colonialist mindset. Similarly, if you talk bad about the Russian colonization of peoples such as Mari and Buryats or Tatars, that is seen by them as an example of you having a colonialist mindset. And those messages of yours then get removed by the mods.

Ne kaistat missä lukee BUS on busseille, niitä ei kannata laskea mukaan, jos ei halua et poliisi tulee ja sakottaa.

Tällaisten virhekäsitysten välttämiseksi monet Suomessa käyvät erityisen autokoulun. Sen myötä mahdollistuu myös niinsanotun ajokortin saaminen.

tien pitää olla olemassa palokuntaa ja ambulanssejakin varten, kun sen varrella on asuintaloja.

Joo, paloautoja ja ambulansseja varten tarvitaan vähintään pyörätien levyinen väylä, että pääsevät kulkemaan. Vahvasti samaa mieltä sellaisen tarpeellisuudesta kanssasi!

Tietty voidaan kysyä, että mitä hittoa sä tällä asian mainitsemisella ajat takaa, koska kai nyt mihin tahansa taloon joka tapauksessa joku kulkuyhteys on? Joku jetpack on aika vaikea käytettävä 7-vuotiaalle koulumatkavälineeksi nimittäin!

Se kylmään hävinnyt varaus toki tulee takaisin, kun akku taas lämpenee. Se ei ole varsinaista kulutusta, vaan sitä, että akun varauksesta pienempi osuus saadaan hyödynnettyä.

Toi tosin ei ole kovin edustava katu, koska tuollaisia katuja on vain murto-osa Helsingin kaduista. Pitäisi rakentaa joku skripti, joka valitsisi sattumanvaraisen helsinkiläisen kadun ja siitä sattumanvaraisen korttelin ja mittaisi siitä nuo, niin saisi jotenkin todellisuutta vastaavia lukuja. Jos vaikka 20 tuollaisen skriptin arpomaa paikkaa mittailisi ja laskisi niiden keskiarvon, saisi kai aika hyvän tuloksen?

No, joka tapauksessa, tuossa sun kuvassasi on 630 pikseliä talonseinästä talonseinään. Kumpikin ajorata on 175 pikseliä, eli yhteensä 350 pikseliä on ajoradan tilankäyttö. Tekee 55,56 % kadun leveydestä. Ja siis kadulla, jonka valitsit sillä perusteella, että se oli löytämistäsi Helsingin kaduista se, jossa tuo ajoradan osuus kadun koko leveydestä on kaikkein matalin.

Ja kantakaupungin rajan ylittävästä liikenteestähän n. 20 % tapahtuu henkilöautoilla. Eli 20% ihmisistä vie 56 % tilasta. Kuvasi on juurikin sellaisesta paikasta, jossa on kyse nimenomaan kantakaupungin rajan ylittämisestä ja malliesimerkki siitä, miten järjettömän autokeskeistä kaupunkisuunnittelumme yhä on.

Ihmisiä ei pysty viemään kurjuuteen ilman autoritääristä hallintoa, jos joku sitä yrittää, se äänestetään pois päättämästä.

Jep. Eikä kyllä ole tarvetta yritääkään.

Ensinnäkin, ensisijainen hankkimiskanava ei voi olla käytetty, käytettyä kamaa ei voi olla tarjolla ellei sitä ole ensin uutena.

Sä et ilmeisesti tunne sanan “ensisijainen” merkitystä. Se on se, mikä on ensisijalla. Sitten jos se ei ole mahdollinen, siirrytään toissijaiseen hankkimiskanavaan.

vilkkaiden katujen poikkileikkauksesta helposti puolet on joukkoliikenteen, pyäräilyn tai kävelyn käytössä

Tää tuli väärään ryhmään. Tarkoitit kai [email protected]? :)
