There’s a ton of history on Wikipedia. Most of it is the council coming up with new reasons to demolish it or plans to change it, with no convincing motive.

The most notable things for me were:

• An allegation that they want the bridge demolished to remove the trams that mar the modernity of the waterfront regeneration project nearby.
• A mention of Chinese lenders bankrolling the demolition and construction a Chinese construction firm being awarded the contract for constructing a new bridge.
• A mention of a Russian construction and design group submitting plans for transforming and relocating the existing bridge.

You don’t seriously think that a phrase book is a practical alternative to a native speaker.

It’s right in the article, near the top. You don’t even need to scroll. They know far more about their language, tactics (presumably including equipment), attitude, and methods of operating than probably anyone in Ukraine.

South Korean personnel in Ukraine would interrogate or provide interpretation services if North Korean soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces, the report said. They would also provide Kyiv with information about the North’s military tactics, doctrine, and operations.

I don’t know about other countries’ tests, but some in the UK are just nasal swabs, others are both tonsils and nose. The earlier tests - in my area, at least - were tonsil and nose swabs.

VS Code’s diff tools are killer. Comparison is smarter than most, and you can edit either file as you go.

I do still search for Reddit posts when looking for opinions about products, solutions to technical problems, etc - much as I don’t want to use the platform, the quality of content is generally much higher than Quora, the Microsoft Forum, and other open discussion hubs.

I refuse to be an active user, though. I know it needs to make money, but fuck their attitude to their users and moderators.

This was suspected since Bentley’s death back in April. I guess if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

You are defending the murder of children.

Thanks - looking forward to it!

Very much looking forward to V2! I’ve had to switch to Voyager for working spoiler markdown – it’s also excellent, but I generally prefer Mlem.

Cheeky questions while I’m here:

1. Voyager also seems to handle GIFs in comments better, is that something on the cards for Mlem?
2. Is there a plan to introduce swiping forward? I frequently accidentally swipe back to the community list and lose my place in the feed.

Why is the AP writing as if their audience are children? I understand it from the Mirror.

Elena and Nicolae Ceaușescu were more or less equal partners in their despotic role over Romania, until their joint execution in 1989 during the Romanian Revolution.

Works great, you guys rock!

I found this on the web for “Hey I wobble in the bath believes Apple® beehive.”

In the new beta, when a user taps the thumbnail of an image or link post, it opens in a media viewer entitled “quicklook”.

Spammy spam spam.

Go! Map is a mobile OSM editor I use frequently. It’s not super user-friendly, so might take a little getting used to, but it is reliable and fast.
