Surely the only languages that are not weird are those specifically designed to be widely spoken?

And no-one wants to speak those!

"Who goes there", John Campbell, 1938.

(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

So, yeah, looking at those examples I'd say we should try to prevent our opponets from going fascist.

If there's anything fascists are good at it's murdering lots and lots of people, so Id say we should stop them from gaining a following or try to remove their following if they already got one.

Easier said then done, but, to steal your words, doesn't mean it's impossible.

Yeah , but ...

In Paris we fought and were massacred.
In Korea/Manchuria we fought and were massacred.
In Ukraine we fought and were massacred.
And as you say in Spain we fought, but then we were massacred.

There's more of course, but you get the idea.

Something probably should be done differently in the future.

It's German, and you're about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

Some of the flickering can be gotten rid of by disabling hardware-acceleration for qtwebengine.

I've got
`export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_GPU_THREAD=1

export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu-compositing --num-raster-threads=1 --enable-viewport --main-frame-resizes-are-orientation-changes --disable-composited-antialiasing"`
in .bashrc.

Note that there is still enough flickering left to annoy, and some (appimage?) apps dont seem to register the setting.

I think what's happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

And I'm sorry, but I don't think the people won back then.

Hopefully they are enough to disperse Russian anti-aircraft defences.
