with :firefox: native translation tool it translates to "Broadcasting", for both russian and Ukrainian.

otoh, at the #DeepL site it is recognised automatically as Ukrainian, & translated as "Live Stream".

it comes from this new project, github.com/R0STEFAN/Vivaldi-Tr… -- & as such is immensely interesting to me given i have wanted #vivaldi to provide tst functionality for years, & indeed their staunch disinterest in it is the primary reason i dropped :vivaldi: years ago.

however, for obvious moral reasons i simply will not use any product nor service that is russian. if i cannot confirm with some pretty high degree of confidence that it is Ukrainian not russian, then i shall have to abandon my interest in trying out this project.

it is transatia, I can confirm.

Our apartment as renovated by "Russians" but nobody came from Russia... actually, I think Vladimir we got our windows from, is "real" Russian, living in Melbourne for ages.

There was Igor, an Ukrainian Jew, I think, Sandros from Lithuania etc.

But they all spoke Russian, often better than English, and it was there communication language here.

Unlike Angus Taylor or Pauline Hanson I don't judge people by passport or language πŸ˜‰

@petros well, i can feel the burn there, & maybe it's justified

I don't judge people by passport or language


but i am so vehemently opposed to what putin & lackies are doing to Ukraine that i see no practical moral option for me but to boycott everything russian, simply coz i have no way of knowing if a peep or team doing some interesting #FOSS work might actually support putin.

a parallel example... there are a couple of linux projects i will never use, regardless of potential merits, because the peeps involved are rancid transphobes

i will never use the stupidly-named brave browser for a few reasons, but primary is its odious homophobic owner

there's a couple of potentially exciting new browsers being developed, but i will never try them once available, due to the homo- & transphobia of their Devs

Was just a thought πŸ™‚

There are the weirdest things, e.g. a former German PM (SchrΓΆder) working for the Russian fossil fuel company Gazprom..

If I know I adjust my interactions, if not.. well, innocent until proven guilty.

In the case at hand, I would have a closer look.

You will get it right πŸ˜€

i am busy hating Angus Taylor. At least he gave me an idea what to listen to while i do the dishes in a minute. (Courtney Barnett).

I mean, one has to make use of motherf***ers like him. Wiping the floor or something like that.

But thinking of it: He would just leave slime behind. So better not.

What a bore being you, Angus. i guess even your mother hates you.
