It has something like 100 times as many users as PieFed+Lemmy+Mbin do together.

When starting here, I found it a nice way for finding interesting communities to go to different instances’ pages with my web browser and browsing their Local. A lot of communities I would never have thought of!

So, go to sopuli.xyz and see what their Local has to offer, then go to piefed.social for the same. And suppo.fi and Solarpunk (is it slrpnk.net or what?) and what is there still? Blåhaj at least. You can see what instances interesting commentators are coming from and check out the rest of that instance’s atmosphere by just writing that instance’s address in your browser’s URL bar.

The oldest one I regularly use is this one: https://web.archive.org/web/19961108115333/http://www.kela.fi/

It’s the Finnish state organ for giving people their welfare benefits and operating the national health insurance system. So, if you get a child, you get an amount of money per month from Kela for having a child. (Because they want the population to grow).
Or, if you end up unemployed for a longer time, it’s Kela that will pay your unemployment benefits.
Of if you break your leg, it’s Kela that pays for your hospital care. I don’t know how many forms I’ve already filled on their website :D

But yeah, the site’s been around for a while now.

There is an it. And then there’s another it. And some more its, perhaps.
I don’t know what the life of their own is, though. I am also not sure if I do want to know.

But rest assured: It was surely not a mistake.
The its are coming. I, four one, welcome our it overlords!

I just began using Tuba while ago. It’s got its good sides, but I also occasionally need to launch Mastodon’s site on the browser because Tuba is missing features, such as a proper search. Still, that us no really a huge problem, because most of the time I can just use Tuba and switching to the browser for minute once every few days is not the end of the.world.

The site of German railways does the same, but is missing a few nifty features. That’s why I typically recommend ÖBB’s site.

Then again, the German site, http://bahn.de/, has an address that is faster to use because it loads directly to the search without first needing to click a “show timetable only” button and then even waiting a few seconds for “Scotty” to load. But indeed, it’s nice to be able to set a third via point in the search and see the route on the map, so if you can spare the extra 15 seconds or just have the link bookmarked, ÖBB’s search takes the win. Both sites use the same timetable database.

This is the second one, actually. Hungarian trains started serving Mukachevo already years ago.

Should you want to travel within Europe once you’ve made it this far, here’s a search tool for all train timetables in Europe: https://fahrplan.oebb.at/webapp/?language=en_GB

(Okay, it’s missing Euskotren, in Ukraine it only shows long distance trains, and in Estonia and Latvia only the one international connection is shown. But I think this is the full list of exceptions)

There are occasionally flights from the northeastern end of Canada to Scotland. That’s a surprisingly short trip! Checking different airports’ destinations on Wikipedia was a useful way to find out about this!

Duh.

But what does that marketing include?

This 39-year-old north-European doesn’t seem to get reached by Apple’s marketing at all.

The previous president of Finland, Sauli Niinistö is currently 77-year-old and his firstborn is 7.

That means the child will see his dad die at a far too young age, most likely. But otherwise, meh. He’ll be a different kind of father, but a good father all the same.

The question: how angry would he be if his father was 25 years older than he actually is? Would he prefer not having been born at all under such circumstances? I bet he wouldn’t oppose his own existence, for such a reason at least. And neither will his child.

How does that telling happen, actually?

“All cops’ fathers have been married to people other than the cops’ mothers during conception”? Is that what “Out of wedlock” means? So, basically ACFHBMTPOTTCMDC?

Isn’t that the translation of ACAE, though? 🙃

You have a printing error in the right side of the B!

How about KPOÄ 🤣

Finnish, Swedish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Russian, English. Plus, Polish and Norwegian would go mostly right.

So, apparently 12.

However, I can say “I am am apple” in 30 languages. Much more useful.

Paskiaisia.

My kids’ first electronic device was an android tablet for playing Ekapeli.

Then my phone for pretty much the same.

And now the bigger one is playing Minecraft on my desktop computer. (So that they would get fluent in using a mouse and develop their eye-hand-coördination. But they don’t know that 🤫)

Sonic.

I’ve been trying to like them when they were published, but no. It’s not really much fun.

I don’t really agree that people in general are awful, but we do all have our awful sides.

And indeed, people who really know how to get to the top and stay there tend to almost always have skills and a mindset that steer them towards dictatorship.
