Today I vetoed a Russian law. This law is Russian in its essence and spirit.

It is the quintessential Russianness of it that is Russian. Russia is in it. Russian Russia is Russian and Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia (vikings start singing in the background).

Libadwaita apps are so fucking good looking compared to literally everything else in Compsci.

You most not be familiar with Xfig (released 1985, screenshot from 2024):

Assuming the Russians continue with their attrition strategy, it would make sense they just widen the front and move slowly so as not to expose themselves too much. I expect they will only move quickly if/when the Ukrainians abandon their positions.

There was some western report/claim recently about 500000 Russian losses (forgot where it's from exactly), which people/propagandist just assume/wish/spin means dead (it doesn't). This is after the Russians, a few weeks ago, officially claimed half a million losses on the Ukrainian side, so I imagine that's just "no u" propaganda.

Story-rich, narrative, role-playing etc. Except if it's comedy. I can do comedy. Sometimes.

Also Obra Dinn I like and that has "story-rich" (I just checked), so whatever, I'm a hypocrite.

Err, I was afraid of this reply. My bad.

I type this into a shell inside of a terminal on linux. While it should be possible to to do this on windows somehow, I don't have windows and can't help you set this up. The rough outline is (1) install mpv, (2) add mpv to PATH, (3) open cmd.exe (or some other command line thingy) in the folder with your video files, and (4) type that in.

So maybe ignore what I said and google how to do this on windows, there must an easier way.

You can do this with mpv like so:

mpv --sid=1 --secondary-sid=2 example.mkv

You can find the sid (subtitle id) from mpv's output when playing the file. If the subtitles are not embedded but in separate files, you'll need to add them with extra --sub-file=foo arguments.

I can eat pure sugar and get through this.

I made a post about this. The guy wrote an article in 2017 called "The Case for Colonialism", where wants to "reclaim" colonialism, recolonize and make new colonies. He also thinks that the slave revolt is "the worst thing that happened in Haiti."

Oh and he got the idea that colonialism is good (actually) from working as a journalist in Hong Kong.

They're pulling some bullshit alright, but that's probably just some insane cyber"security" or child-protection service being overly zealous. I guess it is possible that it's someone's job at Logitech to report their competitors as NSFW to internetmatters, but I doubt it.
