But only one really knows how to give commands to Trump. That's a huge difference!

Mathematics and languages have different rules.

In languages it is possible for one century to be a yewa shorter than all the others. Other centuries begin on a year divisible by hundred, but centuries 1–99 and -1–-99 don't. They are both missing a year, and outside mathematics that's just fine.

If almost all native speakers of a language say that a century begins in a year divisible by hundred then that's how it goes in that language.

On working days before 16 o'clock bank transfers inside EU are instantaneous. After that, next working day. If the shop has the same bank as the customer, it's always instantaneous.

But, the shop receives immediate confirmation that the money has been successfully taken from the customer's account and will arrive soon.

...which is actually how it works with card payments as well. With card payments, the shop receives the money about a week later, but gets an immediate confirmation that the money is on the way.

Handling cash costs money as well.

I'd like to know who got the idea to name the system with a word meaning "tax" in Finnish, one of the official languages of EU... Both are related to money, so there is a possibility for confusion.

(We used to always use w, and had a reform some ~century ago to allow using v instead. Therefore, w is considered another form of v in Finnish, and thereby wero equals vero)

Online you pay by bank transfer. Instead of "credit card", I choose "online bank", click my bank's name, enter my online banking login and password, give one of the single-use codes and press "transfer". A bank transfer from my account to the bank account number defined by the shop is made, no money goes to USA.

I've got autocorrect switched off, but these kinds of corrections have lately started happening.

Anyway, corrected "need" to "mean".

But many kinds of medicine can induce Parkinson's.

A puppet is someone whose actions are fully steered from the outside.

Putin is a person chosen by KGB/FSB because he makes decisions that are very useful its leaders, but he retains a large amount of autonomy.

Yup. He had a cancer and mostly healed from it.

Happens.

Defending from something doesn't really mean opposing something in this sense.

Most importantly, it takes rewriting their school books.. The Russian school books on mathematics and on Russian language rant about Russian supremacy.

 

I keep hearing of people who have used Lemmy for a few days or a few weeks and want to start using a mobile version – often Voyager.

They open Voyager for the first time, and get a screen with a button for logging in. They get a choice for which Lemmy instance to join, but no place for entering their existing username or password.

I've told them that "in the first screen there is a button that is very difficult to notice, allowing you to use a pre-existing Lemmy username. Find that semi-hidden button, click it, and you can login."

It is of course a working workaround to pre-emptively tell people that the button exists, is just very well hidden, and needs to be clicked by most people who download Voyager. But still, it would be cool if the screen for new users could be altered so that the ability to log in with a pre-existing username was equally visible as the choice to create a new account!

 

Stefan Korshak is one of the bloggers I follow regularly. I like his texts because they often bring up points other sources tend not to, and are written so that the point comes across very easily. He is a reporter who had moved to Ukraine long before the full-scale invasion of 2022.

Here's his latest text :)

 

Oikein hyvä asia, että tästä tehdään taas kerran uutisia. Asia, joka pitäisi saada kuntoon. Joko junamatkailun tuet samalle tasolle tai sitten lentoliikenteen tuet pois.

The text manages to be quite surprising to me.

There was talk about USA wanting a share of Ukraine's mineral wealth, but this agreement looks more like an agreement about funding of Ukraine's reconstruction. It says that half of all income that Ukraine will free from the Russia will have to be put in this fund, but if the fund will be used for reconstructing Ukraine, how does this benefit USA?

Maybe it can be used for building mines for American companies, for them to use for free? Or maybe the fund can be liquidated and the money shared between Ukraine and USA?

But, my untrained eye cannot really recognize whatever shenanigans there might be hidden in the text.

Pohdiskelen tässä mahdollista matkaa lokakuulle. Pääkohde olisi eteläisessä Italiassa, varmaan ensisijaisesti Sisiliassa, mutta mukana olevaa lasta kiinnostaisi myös Ranska. Voisi käydä katsomassa hieman Pariisia ja mennä sitten yöjunalla joko tuonne Briançoniin tai Välimeren rannikolle päin Marseilleen, Touloniin, Cannesiin ja Nizzaan päin.

Mutta mitä noissa paikoissa on tehtäväksi ekaluokkalaisen ja ehkä 3½-vuotiaan kanssa?

Eteenpäin tuolta kai sitten jatkettaisiin yöjunalla Torinosta Reggio di Calabriaan tai ehkä jonnekin vähän lähemmäs. Vaikea suunnitella reissua paikkaan, jossa ei ole ollut.
