Perhaps both. There are also news reports that some of these migrants now stuck in Russia are being pressured by russian military authorities to sign contracts to go fight in Ukraine, in exchange getting Russian citizenship later. More cannon fodder to the grinder…

In local news our national broadcaster and right wing rags have reported that most of these newcomers are from Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia.

Usefull idiot talk.

Then they started to remove songs you own, and songs from your hard drive that iTunes had nothing to do with it… Fucking apple cultists. You really never see any fault in your chosen god?

Simple, but it speaks the truth.

Adrian Tchaikovsky’s The Final Architecture -trilogy’s one main theme is this meeting of people due to circumstances and growing into a made-family, with the good and the bad that such units entail. All in all its a fun space opera trilogy.

Same here, my father was born in Jänisjärvi and in the 90’s and 2000’s (2000-2009) we visited our ancestral farmstead there multible times and helped the, funnily enough, family deported from Ukraine there. Olga and Nikolai, who where BORN there, did try to their best, but it was quite something.

Two funny memories come up from one of those early trips to visit them, circa 2003 or somerhing; we delivered a small portaple milking unit to them, so Olga wouldnt have to have so hard time milking their small herd of (3 or 5?) dairy cows.

Other one is we replaced a part of their broken plumbing (my father is an Master Constuctor [en tiedä mitä se on englanniksi, AMK-uudistusta edeltävä Rakennusmestari]) and took home piece of history: a wooden plumbing pipe peace that they had used in their clear water well.

Russia really changed after 2010’s and its sad how our old “family friends” seemingly quickly turned against us and then we lost contact. Luckily few of the younger and smarter ones got out before “All this fucking shit, AGAIN.”.

DAMN IT. Confilicting feelings. As is perhaps the whole " special finnish-russian relations" (unless you ask people from the west coast, they are just racist fucks, those swede loving bootlickers).

Btw update for anyone stumbling upon this: I could not get any of the (unrooted) options working, so sadly I had to resort to the old fashioned “speaker phone call and digital recorder” -method.

Still, I thank you everyone for your suggestions and hopefully future Android versions can get this functionality back.

Main reason I started using Kiwi browser on my mobile some years back (3-4?) was that it blocks AMP-sites. Ability to run many chrome extensions has been also a good plus, though interacting with some interfaces on them is sometimes difficult or downright impossible.

I’ve been reading a thrift store find as of late, “The Mammoth Book Of Best New SF 11”, a short story collection first published in 1998, ed. Gardner Dozois by Robinson Publishing.

In general I’ve been reading different sci fi short story collections of as of late, while waiting for the next Final Architecture -book to drop.

HMD Nokia’s are also pretty unbloated and work just fine, except mine got a shitty usb-c port that had to be replaced by warranty.

On the other hand, so did my 2 other previous phones, and they were Samsung.

I’ve had 3 android phones in the past 5 years (Samsung, Samsung, latest is HMD Nokia) and every one of them had their usb-c connector broken (in about a year). They really seem to be quite crap when they come out of the factory.

I’'ve never had ANY device, in my 40’ish years on this hurling ball of a space ship, brake their 3.5 mm jack. Not a single, and there must have been dozens if not hundreds devices with those jacks.

Now they are just mocking climate change and the rising seas, and asking some eldritch sea gods to punish them.

I just downvote for using stupid emojis.

There is also wheelmap.org , based on Openstreet maps. Project asks for volunteers to mark wheelchair accessible places that you know of.

Even a few markdowns would help if you know an accessible space, store, restaurant, bathroom etc. !

Definetely prefer encourament to walking rather than smoking.

Yeah, it truly is. There are some local smaller and cheaper cinemas here and there, but they usually cant show new movies at all. They are rare, too. There are couple of big movie chains that dominate and effectively force an duopoly/triopoly with their prices.

Earth’s Omega -class destroyer was and still is supremely cool to me. Also the utilitarian and cobbled together look or Narn ships had its appeal.
