I’m not a bad programmer, nix is just a horrible programming language

That would be counted as “non-voting” (see Ukr, Afg, Ven). Abstain means the rep was there and voted “abstain”

The jpe link is missing a g.

I don’t think there is. The transgender flag is for anyone that is trans. There are transfemme and transmasc specific flags (though they aren’t in Unicode so they can’t be used like I do the trans flag). Do note that transfemme / -masc does not mean transgender woman and man, they describe how one would like to present and/or express themselves.

Browsers will collapse white space, line breaks are converted to spaces.

Jerboa does not collapse white space, and instead rendered the display name with the line breaks. But, one possible reason is that, the area for usernames/display names can only display 1 line, so all of the pronouns got cut off.

There aren’t specific pronouns. One can just use the display name option to add pronouns

I do! And they isn’t one of them…

Besides that, I do accept that OP couldn’t see my pronouns, it isn’t their fault that I deliberately tried to fuck with my display name, and that their app then honours the newlines I put in there but truncates it to one line.

I use they/them as a default. I’ll catch myself in using them and go “wait, what is this persons pronouns” and check, on platforms like Lemmy that have it, their display name for pronouns, and if there aren’t any, then bio. If neither have any pronouns I’ll use they/them. If there are pronouns I will not use they/them unless listed.

Jerboa is honoring the newlines in my display name (whereas web browsers will just substitute newlines for spaces). I just didn’t think about the fact that it would only display one line.

This is what it should look like:

There was a pretty decent EPUB at https://annas-archive.org/md5/5212d271f108a89b4dbd54b658b4fbda so I modified it very slightly, https://comlib.encryptionin.space/epubs/elementary-principles-of-philosophy/

Trekkie, star trek. Not tankie.

Blowing up stuff inside their own borders… And how are they escalating?

A cool book I like is This Soviet World. It shows the Soviet Union as experienced by the author in the 1930s.

Technical in what way?

It used to be that there was no limit on how many you could have (just that the display name cannot be more than 80 chars). But then makotech added some code to only take the 2 first pronoun sets that is sent to the server. I asked if this could be reverted, and they (mako/admins) said no.

Only two sets. I asked for more but they said no.

However if you care about Palestinians at all you should vote for the lesser of two evils

“If you care about the palestinians, you should vote for their genocide”.

Ok, that’s really good insight, so it boils down to France not respecting the 1935 treaty by refusing to declare Czechoslovakia as a victim of aggression?

No. So, there are two parts here: Romania allowing Soviet troops to pass through it and French and Soviet aid to Czechoslovakia.

I can’t find the part I was thinking about when I wrote “so the Soviet Union never came to help Czechoslovakia under the Pact”, and just I realized that there are actually two pacts.

The treaty mentioned is either the Franco-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance or the Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance. Had France decided to fight for Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union would also have. But the French didn’t, and Czechoslovakia didn’t fight (and therefore didn’t call upon the Soviets to come to their aid), and so the Soviets didn’t.

In the case that fighting had broken out, Romania would allow Soviet troops to pass through their borders, if the League of Nations declared Czechoslovakia to be a “victim of aggression” (not France).

I assume they’re talking of how the Soviet Union was the only country to sell weapons to Republican Spain in their fight against fascism, even as the Nazis and Italian Fascists were militarily and economically helping the reactionaries in Spain, and how France and England didn’t do anything under the guise of “non-interventionism”.

Yes.

Admittedly, I feel like a sicko for saying that these subjects ‘interest’ me… but hey, somebody has to get their hands dirty when studying these tragedies.

And we salute you for your impressive work. Thank you.

It’s only fitting that the one doing the job most often would also be the one who can tolerate it the best.

Yea… I probably wouldn’t be able to do this, I couldn’t deal with it.

I’m not really sure how much more I can elaborate. I haven’t read the book—I read Flemmings book, see below, and found it to reference “Munich, Prologue to Tragedy”, so I went ahead and quoted it. Here is the full footnote which that part came from (with my own inserts in []):

France didn’t uphold their part of the 1935 Pact, so the Soviet Union never came to help Czechoslovakia under the Pact. And President [of Czechoslovakia] Benes didn’t call upon the Soviet Union “outside” of the Pact:

The rest of your comment is quite consistent with my own understanding of how things went down, which I got from Flemmings book.
