> Der Name setzt sich aus den Begriffen wald-a- (urgermanisch für „walten“, „herrschen“) und mǣrja (urgermanisch für „berühmt“, „bekannt“) zusammen. Dabei wird wald-a- wiederum auf die indoeuropäische Wurzel val- zurückgeführt, vgl. lateinisch valere für „stark sein“, „gelten“, „bedeuten“. Und mǣrja soll aus dem Komparativ mē-r zu mē- (indoeuropäisch für „groß“) entstanden sein, vgl. irisch Inis Mór („große Insel“) und deutsch „Meerrettich“ (eigentlich „große Wurzel“).[1]
Somit steht der im germanischen Sprachbereich verwendete Name Waldemar/Valdemar dem im Slawischen verbreiteten Vornamen Wladimir/Vladimir/Wolodymyr etymologisch recht nahe.
Russian forces inside the Vovchansk district court. It is high likely that Ukraine has taken up defense behind the Vovcha river which creates a natural barrier. A part north of the river is still unconfirmed/disputed.

Le scandale du sang contaminé a fait 3 000 morts au Royaume-Uni dans les années 1970 et 1990. Une enquête publique publiée ce lundi met directement en cause les autorités.
Looking forward to #TeamTrump bringing up a last surprise witness tomorrow who's just some Proud Boy goon specifically there to tell Judge Merchan "It'd be a shame if something happened to your daughter."
@GrimmReality If you scroll down and look at the picture of that sad, tired man, you might find yourself wondering why he keeps pushing forward with this. Like, what possibly could be driving this? It isn't ideological, he just makes up his ideology. He could probably liquidate everything and still have a cool $500M. He's 77. Why?
@danluvsbeer I'm no behavioral scientist but I'd hazard it's because he's a narcissistic sociopath who has never been told "no" in his life right up to the point where 81 million people told him no and he obsessively refuses to accept the judgment of his pleb scum lessers that he is an incompetent stupid-as-fuck execrable criminal sack of effluent instead of the shining knight he is in his septic brain and that he needs the shittiest, most racist yayhoos in America to validate because, as a born-wealthy cretin who was never told "no" (except that one time), he never had to develop a conscience or a basic sense of introspective human decency?
For users of Voice Dream Reader: I found an extremely serious bug in v4.34.4 of VDR. I have reported the following bug to the VDR mailing list. I'm very confident that it will be fixed and so my intent in posting this on Mastodon is not to start a VDR bashing session but just to make other users aware of this bug. Here is what I sent to the list.
Hello. In this latest version of VDR I am no longer able to successfully import any files from OneDrive via the file browser.
Steps to Reproduce
With VoiceOver enabled, double-tap the Add button.
Choose File Browser.
Choose a file with a recognized file format: audio, text, Word document, etc. You will hear that your file has been added.
Select the Done button.
In the VDR library, move focus to the file that you tried to import. VDR sees the file but reports it as being “unavailable.”
If this bug is reproducible, I consider it to be an extremely high-priority issue as I am no longer able to import any new files into VDR.
@stefanzweifel@arstechnica If something like this is not strictly developed to run encrypted and to 100% locally, it's something I definitely never want to use ^^"
The idea is interesting but in a world where pretty much every bit of us is sold and monetized I don’t want to share my screen with some AI script ^^"
This is a HUGE deal in a lot of ritzy LA zip codes. Either not being able to get fire insurance at all or being presented with annual premiums like $200,000.
Really wondering what kind of effect this will have on valuations.
Bloomberg: Beverly Hills 90210 Mansions Lose Fire Coverage as Insurers Flee
State Farm is discontinuing fire insurance policies in wealthy California areas. It’s part of a nationwide trend fueled by climate change.
I mean, it's not like insurance companies have been happily accepting payments for generations and making a nice profit for their investors all this time, right?
