I’ve never heard or read about waxed chains. What’s this about? what kind of wax?

changing region doesn’t effect tor, as unlike mull it doesn’t leak system information

it’s fine

yes, iTunes was the first connection it tried that was blocked by netGuard

in antennapod you choose which service to use for podcast indexing from the “add podcast” drawer, focus uses iTunes by default (that can be modified in settings to fyyd or podcast index)

does “open source” mean that you can fork without giving credit?

i was trying podcini too for those podcasts that block antennapod➜orbot connections. podcini’s glitches and the skip forward button that’s lacking from the lock screen notification made me search some other alternative

focus works better than podcini but antenna is still the best

when i write “we”, i meant humanity

we still are not advanced enough, you see… you see all too well. Our common enemy is our stupid need to have enemies

apparently we’re not advanced enough to stop fantasizing about bashing enemies

they are considered to be the lungs of Paris.

The Bois de Vincennes, located on the eastern edge of Paris, France, is the largest public park in the city. It was created between 1855 and 1866 by Emperor Napoleon III.

The park is next to the Château de Vincennes, a former residence of the Kings of France.

The Bois de Boulogne is a large public park that is the western half of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt and Neuilly-sur-Seine. The land was ceded to the city of Paris by the Emperor Napoleon III to be turned into a public park in 1852.

The Bois de Boulogne is a remnant of the ancient oak forest of Rouvray, which included the present-day forests of Montmorency, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Chaville, and Meudon. Dagobert I hunted bears, deer, and other game in the forest. His grandson, Childeric II, gave the forest to the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Denis, who founded several monastic communities there. Philip Augustus (1180–1223) bought back the main part of the forest from the monks to create a royal hunting reserve. In 1256, Isabelle de France, sister of Saint-Louis, founded the Abbey of Longchamp at the site of the present hippodrome.

☞ Paris doesn’t respect it’s official boundaries anyway. Neighboring cities are swallowed by it’s metropolitan shadow

then don’t go to those bookstores with cameras 🤦

not all bookstores have cameras

source is not the source

Based on a soil assessment set given by the Muencheberg Soil Quality Rating (SQR) system potentially “marginal” sites have been investigated. The SQR system allows for clearly distinguishing between soils of higher and lower quality.

i never “understood” this kind of traced from projection photorealist paintings

what would it change if the original photo was posted here?

til:

Mauritania is culturally and politically part of the Arab world; it is a member of the Arab League and Arabic is the official language. The official religion is Islam, and almost all inhabitants are Sunni Muslims. Despite its prevailing Arab identity, Mauritanian society is multiethnic; the Bidhan, or so-called “white moors”, make up 30% of the population, while the Haratin, or so-called “black moors”, comprise 40%. Both groups reflect a fusion of Arab-Berber ethnicity, language, and culture. The remaining 30% of the population comprises various sub-Saharan ethnic groups.

yes, it’s awkward for the “individual” who is longing for reliable expression

it also seems to be awkward for people who can’t figure out the changes in the language they think as their own. They are irritated by their “disfigured” reflection

it’s awkward for officials who need to make decisions (positive or negative) about the use of “inclusive” language

we give shape to languages and languages shape us

English could initially have neutral pronouns and people would be obliged to find other reasons to hate each other 🤷

that’s what i thought i meant but thanks for the lesson I’ve never needed

even your comment is, for me, coming from that ridiculous tension

for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this “hysteria” over he/she/they is ridiculous!

as long as frexit or itexit stays a fantasy, it doesn’t matter

🤣

😭

said 5167(?) is mount Ararat and it’s clearly not in Europe

but!

when the Europe/Asia separation is based on identity politics… (cough: religion) and Georgia, Armenia or Cyprus is included in Europe but not Turkey, there’s no need to argue 🤷

Ararat’s Armenian history shouldn’t be ignored either
