I’m not a native but I can try to explain. Greek has two forms of expressing possession: the first is simply the genitive of the personal pronoun (in this case μου is the genitive of the first person singular pronoun εγώ). When expressing possession in this way it always follows the noun it refers to whereas the article comes before e.g. “my house” > “το σπίτι μου” and it’s invariable. (Note that in English possessives are determiners and can not co-exist with articles it’s either one or the other, in Greek this is not the case). The second form is in combination with “δικός” and these behave more like adjectives and must agree in gender and number with the noun they refer to “my house” > “το δικό μου σπίτι” vs “my houses” > “τα δικά μου σπίτια”.

Be it for economic reasons, be it for any other reason this is really good news! Kudos to Greece and to all Greek people. My country, Italy, is still below 1% as of June 2023 according to statcounter so there’s still a lot of work to do! Seeing Linux as an option to bring back to life second hand or old hardware, preventing wastes and promoting circular economy is an idea I really like.

Surrogacy and, in general, parenthood by LGBT couples is a highly divisive theme where legislation should be extremely cautious since no long-term impacts are available and there is no evidence that they have a positive effect on society. Nonetheless, using them against minorities to justify extreme right wing propaganda and unite against a “common enemy” doesn’t do any good either (and in this case there is clear evidence of where this is leading). I wonder what would happen if LGBT people stopped paying taxes and/or care about their societal duties since they don’t have equal rights.

Hope you will, really from the bottom of my heart. I am writing from the EU, a region where no matter what we vote we’re double tied with what you on the other side of the Atlantic decide. So please be wise next year and think of all the lives that depend on your freedom of choice.

People are free to either agree with the CEO view or to not use the platform. Sad but true. At least it reminds us all that it is a private for-profit company and always has been. No matter whether the “value” of it was mostly provided by user-created contents.

Even “less sh*tty” is a valid criterion, though! I totally agree with your idea about the “illusion of choice”, but it doesn’t depend on the number of parties. With many smaller parties it would be even worse, since after the elections nobody has the majority and they have to create (to say as much politely as possible) “original” coalitions to rule a government which in the end is useless because most decisions are supranational.

I totally relate to this. I didn’t like the environment on R*ddit, but here people are much nicer, so the addiction is even worse!

How absolutely delightful it was to review PRs on that web console. And how easy and straightforward it was to setup notifications when the state of a PR changed (e.g. to configure an SNS topic triggered on the repository event with an email endpoint subscribed to it). It was last year. I don’t work there any more.

In Italy the name Mirko, imported from Slavic neighbouring countries, is quite diffused but it’s not uncommon to ask «Do you spell it with a c or with a k?» because the k letter is not normally used in Italian spelling. To which the answer is often (joking) «Obviously with a k otherwise it would be a circus» due to the fact that Mirko and circo sound very similar in our language.

It’s on the instance, it happened to me too some hours ago and all of a sudden all clients stopped working (complaining about me not being logged in). One of the workarounds for the hack was actually invalidating all sessions, so maybe we were all logged off. Source: https://lemmy.ml/post/1953164
