2·3 days agoI’m using OsmAnd, but AFAIK only the first few map downloads for offline use are free. Not sure exactly, because I never hit the limit.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russians Are Pulling Billions From Banks As Fears Grow That Putin Could Seize Deposits to Fund The WarEnglish
1·14 days agothe problem are the consequences: if too many ppl withdraw too much, the banks run short on cash. people either can’t withdraw, so some ppl will run out and can’t shop any more or it can be fixed by printing more money and put it in circulation, which will devalue it and ppl need even more of it.

2·15 days agoI quit cola and coffee alltogether. I just mix a teaspoon of guarana into a glass of water. It doesn’t dissolve well, but I just stir or shake. It’s so much less bad for the body. Can recommend.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Putin Continues to Consider NATO Weak Due to Trumps Position and May Try to Shock EuropeEnglish
1·25 days agoThe USA aren’t NATO. Everyone in NATO knows you can’t rely on the USA as the strongest member any more. The rest of NATO will figure something out and send troops, etc… It’s okay. Let putin come at us. We’re not in top form yet, but we can pack a punch.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Putin Continues to Consider NATO Weak Due to Trumps Position and May Try to Shock EuropeEnglish
1·25 days agoIt’s okay: If putin wants to stretch his forces thinner, the war will end sooner. It’s one of the mistakes hitler made. When you fight multiple nations at once, it becomes impossible to win. Not to mention, every nation adds allies against the attacker. Go ahead, putin. Make my day.

1·26 days agothe problem is, those devices are a substitute for jail. if you cause false geofencing alarms, they will default to just throwing ppl in jail where they lose their jobs.

Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Does anyone here use PeerTube?English
2·26 days agoyou know, what could work to promote it: porn. remember when some non-porn creators turned to pornhub, because yt and other sites sucked? it could work out like that. there’s even an old song about the internet being for porn. porn could keep it afloat until it takes off.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russian army deserters in Germany: 'No choice but to run'English
3·1 month agoThe saying “better late than never” is also a thing in Germany.
I think, being scared to be sacrificed or killed by a government one once supported, is a teachable moment and they shall have a chance to tell the tale, teach others and redeem themselves.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russian army deserters in Germany: 'No choice but to run'English
3·1 month agoI think Germany/EU should grant all non-spy russians asylum, because those who leave are the good russians. They are the ones who don’t support putin and don’t attack Ukraine. Imagine it’s war and nobody shows up.

3·1 month agoif it’s cheap to convert, because it’s done a lot, russian drones swarming it is actually good. it can be used to draw fire, exhaust their drone supply or distract them.
