#Krakow main square on #Ukraine independence day - it has been preempted by a dozen or so of what looked like #Polish ultranationalists suggesting " #Poland had enough of the Banderovites" (there were three times more police than protesters) but they couldn't spoil the mood of hundreds of #Ukrainian and #Belarusian#refugees , celebrating indepent #Ukraine's 32nd birthday
Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:
Due to the increased #Wagner presence, #Poland will deploy more troops to its border with #Belarus after two #Belarusian helicopters entered #Polish airspace at low altitudes, hampering radar detection.
#Polish friends, wouldn't you agree that this lady in a Facebook group about fossils who is named Chrząszcz has one of the badassest names in all of Poland?
Immediately after the death of #Polish Premier & C-i-C Władysław Sikorski, the cabinet of the government-in-exile decided that, after the end of #WWII, his body would be transferred to the national shrine in the crypt of Wawel Castle in Kraków
As opponents of the communist regime, the exile government remained in Britain, as did SIkorski's remains. The reinterment in #Poland finally took place after the call of communism, in 1993.
The crash of the plane carrying #Polish#Premier Władysław Sikorski immediately after take-off on 4 July 1943 has given rise to conspiracy theories blaming every imaginable foe: the Polish right (he was too pro-Soviet); the Soviets (he was too anti-communist), even Winston Churchill.

His remains have been lying in state at 18 Kensington Palace Gardens, HQ of the Polish government, since July 11.
This secret dispatch orders nearly 600 Polish troops from various units sent to London on 14 July for the funeral on the 15th.
The largest contingent is from the First Armoured Division, whose development Sikorski regarded as crucial to #Poland's participation in the invasion of the continent

Since the newest update, I see Kbin on a different language. I think it's Polish, or some similar language. The strange thing is that I don't remember a setting where one can change the display language. And the other strange thing is that this happens only on desktop. If I see Kbin via mobile, the page is in English....
Kolejna dawka języka polskiego dodana do #Yunohost Core.
Udało się przetłumaczyć całkiem długą listę stringów, choć nadal czeka wiele innych wyrażeń do przetłumaczenia.
Skupiłem się na wyrażeniach, które wyświetlane są w panelu admina (choć są w dziale Core). Wraz z innym, nieznanym mi użytkownikiem, staramy się przetłumaczyć Yunohost i idzie nam całkiem nieźle (jak na pełen wolontariat w wolnym czasie).
Kbin is in Polish after the newest update
