Thanks. I really wrote “Castilian” to mean that sources on the web suggest his dialogue is at least somewhat modern Spanish Spanish (so to speak) – but I’m ignorant of the differences between Spanish spoken in the Americas, including North America as you rightly point out, and the Iberian peninsula. I didn’t mean to suggest that Castilian was archaic.

Thank you, that’s interesting to know!

I can’t find anything to really support the note about the faun speaking an early version of Spanish; do you have a link I could read/watch?

I’ve found people noting that Doug Jones is dubbed by the Spanish voice actor into Castilian (rather than any Central or South American dialect) and that his language is formal and somewhat archaic.

FYI, OnlyOffice is entirely Russian-owned, through a holding company in Singapore and a subsidiary in Latvia. I don’t know if money you give CryptPad ends up in Russian hands, but OnlyOffice put a lot of effort into obscuring this.

As I understand it, if any seller is using Amazon fulfillment centers, the product you’re given is picked out of the same box regardless of the named seller. That makes it impossible to buy confidently from Amazon based on the reputation of the seller, and makes Amazon themselves an unreputable seller.

The link is an archive of OP’s article, for anyone wondering if they should click.

Just to clarify, since Yezhov (listed above in the post you’re replying to) was the main architect of the Yezhovshchina, and was himself later a victim of the same Great Purge, did he do some hard self-reflecting and turn himself in?

Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

In my embellished mental image of this, you’re careening down the wrong side of the road, puzzled why everyone’s flashing their lights at you and honking, until one of you says, “Oh, it must be the number plate.”

I eyeballed an edit, because the horizon line and lack of squareness bothered me:

“You fell for a phishing scam and hadn’t enabled two-factor authentication” is more likely, followed closely by “You used the same password for another service/platform that got compromised”.

Microsoft are being unhelpful here and deserve to be criticised, but the fault for the “hack” is almost certainly the responsibility of the user.

I think the BBC has made the wrong assumption when cribbing from ABC or another news source.

Ms Brown has tracked down the great-nephew of one of the soldiers, Private Malcolm Alexander Neville, who came from Wilkawatt in South Australia.

He said his aunt, who was now 101, always told stories over the years of “Uncle Malcolm” and how he never returned home from the war.

I guess she, born in 1924, had heard a lot of stories from her parents or other families about him.

In this thread, mostly: “Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory.”

I’d love to know if my enormous blocklist of instances and communities is unusual or if most people end up curating their global feeds massively to keep them interesting. Anime, porn, US-specific politics, authoritarian-friendly politics, furries, wojak-style barrel-scraping memes - I don’t want to downvote most of these just because they’re not my bag, but I suspect I end up with a tiny fraction of the total Lemmy+Piefed content.

The news source, Roya, is Jordanian and does not recognize Israel as a state.
