I think the idea is that the funding might come with conditions to reach a significant % of the audience. E.g. often public broadcasters have a remit of 99% of population coverage with their broadcast technology, while private stations have much lower or no legally obligatory reception target.

I don't think that's a big obstacle in this case though.

The second half of your post precisely shows how the Cyprus Problem is just demoted to a rhetorical device for people who want a weapon to fight a different battle.

Someone who is actually interested in Cyprus would know that Erdogan is a latecomer to the whole story and that Turkey's interests in Cyprus have been the same even in the hight of pro-western, -secular, -NATO sentiment. To frame it as an Erdogan problem betrays that someone only started "caring" about Cyprus in the last decade.

What? No, theyโ€™re not. Not for me, at least.

I had truly internalised that one up until my late 20s. In Cyprus, we do see leaves on the ground as trash that needs to be cleaned. Having a lot of trees means a lot of leaves and you need to keep cleaning your yard/balcony and municipal services needs to keep cleaning the streets. Too much work, it gets expensive. You stop doing it, the people start complaining that the area is getting neglected.

It wasn't at least I was made fun of by Europeans for asking "so when is the city coming to clean this" in my first autumn outside Cyprus, that I realised that it's not a universal fact that "leaves = trash".

I think this article totally (but only implicitly) ignores young men and boys being sexualised by other men in ways that are as dangerous as the way young women and girls are sexualised.

Aside from that, I agree with the comment from @Pons_Aelius@kbin.social that it's about misidentifying sexualisation as positive attention and seeking the latter by ways of the former.

TIL, thanks. This might be a viable path for me.

I see your sarcasm tag so I will take this rant as lightly as possible.

In any case, not only it's a normal turn of phrase in English, it's also relatively common in Greek. Maybe a bit less than English, but all the examples could work.

It also reminds me of a similar but not identical construction in German, where the dative personal pronoun is used to relate an event to the person's feelings and point of view, instead of objectively describing a situation.

Oh, that's a great idea. The whole concept of immutable OSes passed me by - I've read the terms before at some point, but I have no idea how they work and which problems they solve. Definitely ideal candidates for my experiment.

Indeed, it appears that the open-core of LanguageTool is the only FOSS option still going. Only a couple more abandoned projects come up.

Good tip, thanks! I did read somewhere that scheduling dose increases and decreases is extremely important with this class of medication, so I'll definitely only do it with a doctor who can observe me closely.

Good tips, thanks! I'll really have to be careful with understanding everything said for sure, since it will even be happening in my third language.

Erlaubt sind Communities in deutscher und englischer Sprache, da wir andere Sprachen nicht moderieren kรถnnen.

Okay, Frage: Ich will eine Community fรผr Lernende der griechischen Sprache erstellen. Nach /r/germany war /r/greek mein meistgenutztes Subreddit. Geht das รผberhaupt?

In Sprachlern-Communities ist Englisch meist die Metalanguage, weil die Lernenden oft keine weitere gemeinsame Sprache haben. Doch natรผrlich wird vieles direkt auf Griechisch sein. So weit ich weiรŸ, ich bin die einzige Person auf dieser Instanz, die es spricht. Das ist fรผr die Moderation problematisch.

Feddit.de ist nicht das "natรผrliche" Zuhause fรผr eine solche Community, aber zufรคllig bin ich hier, deshalb die Frage.
