You’re not supposed to have to do it to the same degree as you do with AI

I think every other Us based company has to follow the same laws, as you’d expect tbh.

Organic Maps said not to blame this on Microsoft but rather on US law

I mean they did change the title, it seems

Palestinian Oscar winner missing after being severely beaten by Israeli settlers

The article still uses the term “lynch mob” and “lynched” but that’s in direct quotes. It is kinda misleading term it seems. I was thinking that the dude was killed too.

For anyone wondering:

Aliyah: is the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to, historically, the geographical Land of Israel or the Palestine region, which is today chiefly represented by the State of Israel.

priklopil: Natascha Maria Kampusch (born 17 February 1988) is an Austrian author and former talk show host. At the age of 10, on 2 March 1998, she was abducted and held in a secret cellar by her kidnapper Wolfgang Přiklopil for more than eight years, until she escaped on 23 August 2006.

Confusing title, I would’ve expected those to happen in a different order

The above codecs-extra change meant that we now didn’t really have an use case for org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264 since codecs-extra had FFMPEG’s internal H.264 decoder and the libx264 encoder.

Sounds like it was basically replaced with codecs-extra

This is so wholesome

They mean the x86-64-v1, x86-64-v2 stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Microarchitecture_levels

Nothing they’re bringing up is news, though. It’s just further details about stuff we already knew about. I’m sure historians will value the documents but it’s not like we didn’t know about that they did horrible shit before.

I meant first thoughts about Russia bringing it up. My first thoughts about the atrocities happened a long time ago, when I first heard about them.

This is a good meme in that it works for both sides in the US

There definitely had been a long (even centuries long) conflict with Finns and Russians, with their involvement in the Civil War and Finnish heimosodat being the most recent ones before Winter War. So the war didn’t come as out of nowhere than some think. But also the long conflict with Russians also played a role in the mistrust in their “we just want small areas to feel safe” argument.

“my first thought when hearing about Nazi atrocities is ‘Russia bad’”

But it isn’t my first time hearing about Nazi atrocities, so it wouldn’t be my first thought about that

It’s not massively unreasonable on the surface of it. A main defence line is easier to move than a whole city. The argument is there. But also not giving up land is also not unreasonable when you consider the examples of what happened when you gave in with Czechoslovakia and Baltics, especially when that land includes parts of that main defence line, making the whole line kinda worthless. Czech Sudetenland also included their defence line, so it’s understandable that that example would be fresh in people’s minds.

So really there were no guarantees that after agreeing to it, giving up the main line, the USSR wouldn’t just take the rest of it. It clearly had ambitions in Eastern Europe, in the former Russian Empire’s lands and had just divided Poland with Nazi Germany. So if you gain anything depends on whether you believe USSR had further ambitions in Finland or not.

Comparing this to Czechoslovakia, USSR still took exactly what it initially demanded

That’s just a result of USSR wanting a quick conclusion to the embarrassment that was Winter War. Had Finland folded in the war like they had hoped, I doubt they would’ve settled for just those areas. They had puppet government ready, were planning that they’d do this and that once they win and so on. See the Baltics, it started out smaller then they were absorbed.

asked USSR for protection (because Nazis were scarier), Soviet troops entered those countries and suddenly there were Soviet state institutions in place and plebiscites.

No. USSR compelled them to take in troops with ultimatums, same ultimatum Finland got. Baltics and Finland just chose differently, Finns to fight and Baltics to give in. But once the USSR’s troops were in, it was basically over for the Baltics and those troops were used then to conquer and absorb them.

The area USSR wanted to take had parts of Finnish main defensive line at the very important Karelian Isthmus and areas they wanted to give were total wilderness. So it’s not that surprising it wasn’t agreed to, even if the total area was larger.

It did feel like the sort of deal Czechoslovakians were forced into. And we know what happened there. Same for Baltics.

But that’s an openly recognized thing here in Finland. It’s more of a surprise to foreigners
