"In Siberia, calling someone 'Muscovite' is almost an insult:" an interview with Yelena Trifonova, publisher of one of the few independent regional opposition media in Russia (globalvoices.org)

“Siberia feels like it just serves Moscow’s money needs”, says Trifonova. “It’s a wealthy area with lots of oil and gas, but locals don’t benefit much. It feels like we have a gold mine, but others benefit from it.”...

bigboismith,

Isn’t it generally universal for rural areas to dislike the capital?

How come there isn't more torrent based technology

Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn’t that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication...

bigboismith,

I’m not necessarily experienced with server hosting, but isnt bandwidth the primary cost of fediverse instances for example? There shouldn’t be to much logical work compared to delivering content?

bigboismith,

If it wasn’t for poe’s law I would 100% say this is a joke.

bigboismith,

Kingdom come in hardcore is amazing. Genuinely having to pick your battles and taking care of your wounds is amazing.

bigboismith,

This feels very “r/atheism”, we’re better than this

bigboismith,

While vodka technically freezes at -27C (-16F), alcohol solutions rarely freezes in the normal sense. It generally forms a sludge, and doesn’t crack the bottle. It should be safe to store in the cold.

bigboismith,

That’s the beauty of FOSS, we aren’t generating revenue for them. If they implement something we don’t like, we can change it. There is not anything inherintely wrong with using code written by someone we don’t agree with.

bigboismith,

It probably means you’re getting an error from the server instead of the expected json response. Probably a problem with photon.

bigboismith,

Sorry to say, this was already invented. The Plank time

bigboismith,

The way I’ve always seen it is as a general rule for both genders. A confident women is AFAIK more attractive than a shy/timid woman.

bigboismith,

I think you are overestimating how bad Russia was pre ussr. It was still a global power, and had it continued as an imperial power and slowly democratised as the west it would still fill the power vacuum from Germany. Also calling everyone who is an anti communist or opposed the ussr fascist is super reductionist. You can also oppose the ussr for their genocides.

bigboismith,

You can absolutely run porn games on linux

bigboismith,

Anon has never drank anything less than 50% pure sugar.

bigboismith,

Have you met a European, Chinese or Russian person on here? Holy shit they (we) are annoying.

bigboismith,

Coming from a culture without smalltalk I’ve never understood it. Why talk if there is nothing to be said?

bigboismith,

That missile going into residential areas isn’t going to pay for itself
