There was that #protest in Iceland when the women refused to work for a day(?). It demonstrated that women are important and deserve to be treated and paid fairly.
Could we do the same with all the #immigrants in #Finland ? If we all walk out of our jobs for one day, change will happen.
EDIT: I actually want to do this, not just shitpost about it. Could we get most to participate, including the ones who would not be able to afford to lose a day's income?

As far as I understand, that is the only thing that can possibly count on Linux.

Yo Fedi!
Is there anyone here who uses Backblaze with Linux? Do you use the CLI client and scripts, or a third-party tool from this list at the link? Infodump on me please.

I'm sure this is all very important, but is there a plan to support restrictions on routes like "no stairs", or "paths only"?

Mastodon should automatically ban/delete users that send exactly the same fucking piece of spam in @ mentions / replies to many individuals.
Even the most basic spam-fighting infra is missing. We are at the same point as email was about 25 years ago. Fucking come on.

We always told the kids to find a helpful-looking adult, preferably with kids, in this case.
Why would it have to be police who helps them? Other people are present in the street in much higher numbers.
But then again, I want my kids to be wary of the police and not talk to them.

Maybe the second part. But "cops do not help people, they hurt and kill people" is a simple enough message for a 5-yo.

There is that laser-based network among the satellites. Probably faster than ground-to-space radio?

Hey Fedi!
Is it possible to get only the 10 tooth micro spline sprocket for a Shimano Deore XT CS-M8100-12 cassette?
It it's made by some other company, that's good too.
(The cassette is bloody expensive and only the small sprockets wear out.)

This is a great presentation on the main schenanigans of the Orban government in the last 14 years.

Hey @npub1z7x…q5jf I think you would enjoy this even with a bad machine translation from Hungarian.

I got this from someone earlier today (no idea where it came from). If this info is correct, the journey is about 10h, not 4.

If one's coming from the US, every other country seems like they don't pay well.
But US jobs actually don't pay so well if you count the cost of healthcare, schooling, and other social services that you need to pay from your salary.

I'm not very good at writing, but I do support independent / investigative journalism in Hungary with my money. They do it better.

What exactly do you expect this one expat in Finland to do about Orban other than vote against him every four years?

2025-02-08 18:20:58 UTC

I'm Hungarian. Complaining is our national sport. So allow me.
I was born behind the iron curtain. In 1989 it seemed that we were going to be free and it really looked like freedom was forward and repression was backward and the world moved ever forward and eventually all of us would be free.
And now I get to see, from the inside, the West sliding backwards into fascism.
You don't know where you are going, but I do. It's painful to watch you harming yourselves like this.

Hey Finnish fedi!
I am planning a two-week paddling trip to lake #Saimaa in the summer. I need a two-seater touring #kayak . Is there a possibility to rent a good one for a reasonable sum either somewhere there or in the capital area? Would it make more sense to buy one (and possibly sell it afterwards)?
Is there perhaps someone here who has one and we could make a deal?

I am another Hungarian and I approve this message. 👌

Yesterday I had to cross central Helsinki by car and it was so fucking difficult! Lots of traffic lights, blocked/one-way roads, 30km/h limit.
This makes me happy, but also made me think why all those drivers do this every day. It's so much better on the metro or the bike road.

I inherited one of these from a previous workplace and I really like it. USB-C charging pass-through, DP and HDMI ports, and the part that is relevant here is that the Ethernet works even at boot time as well (not only with Dell machines, anything).
It's great for modern tiny laptops that have only 1 or 2 USB-C ports. (And it kinda invalidates the default big dock for 3 times the price.)

if both have Ethernet ports, you can directly connect them to each other with a cable and Bonjour.

Sorry that was a bit categorical of me. You can probably ask the mods to suspend the server, and I hope they will say yes.

@npub19at…c8rf One of the nice side-effects of cycling a lot is getting to know the birds and their nesting places and seeing some rarer animals sometimes. Plus of course the option of stopping mid-ride to enjoy a quiet moment in a foresty patch or by the sea. This has tangible mental health benefits. Keep riding! ❤️
