Parts of India use Hindi instead of English as lingua franca, therefore the percentage is not as high

In-between yes. Within the western germanic language continuum it’s basically the center between English to the west and German to the east.

Afaik there is also the simple fact that these regions are not an example of good governance

Do you know how it is with the thumbnails for third party hosters? Do they generate as lemm.ee thumbnails?

They fund interesting projects anyways. It’s not like all donations go into managers pockets. But yes it is something to keep in mind for sure.

Which is actually where donating to them can help. They fund editathons, outreach efforts, events, and conferences, some of which explicitly focus on getting information into Wikipedia from underrepresented areas or people.

Not just political efforts - for example they fund their outreach programs and workshops for disadvantaged people to get their specialized knowledge onto Wikipedia.

But yeah, hosting is already funded therefore I dont currently feel the need to donate to Wikimedia.

I wanna see you cross Cyprus in less than a 30 minutes walk lol

This.

Komoot was bought a month ago by a company wellknown for buying tech companies like Evernote and Wetransfer, then downsizing them and making them worse.

An alternative to Komoot is Wikiloc, based in Spain.

Ans like others have said, Bookwyrm for tracking of reading books should be recommended

Same here. We write “verzogen” on the envelope (because the letter has been a bad boy) and either leave it out on top of the letterbox or go throw it into a post collecting box.

Portugal, but they hate expats at this point because they got overrun by them in the last couple of years

Kinda but the overlap between lemmy ml admin/mod team and lemmy developers is not 100%

A monarchy is a government form.

Monarchies can be anything from a parliamentary monarchy to an absolute monarchy, and yes there have been fascist monarchies as well - see WW2 Japan or Romania if I recall that correctly
