Palau, Tuvalu, and Micronesia do not evoke much significance
Well, that’s why I kinda sorted the list by “relevance”. Still, you should at least mention top 5-6 opposers if you’re going to bother with any abstainers.

What’s funny is that lots of people outside Prague are racist and most of them make no effort to hide it. Our nation very much prides itself in dark humor and very few topics are taboo, we even have racial and Auschwitz jokes. However, most people are oblivious to what’s happening in the area so even if you made a really good point for Palestine and composed it into a joke, it’s not going to resonate with any audience. Maybe university students (though a great deal of them are pro-Israel so you might get cringey faces and boos).
It is possible none of us will live to see Czechia vote against the interest of Israel as all parties support it and there is pretty much no organized pro-Palestine movement. Israel says we’re their top partners in the eastern hemisphere, which means a lot because most countries are in the eastern hemisphere, including itself. At least, aid toward them is not nearly as popular among politicians and citizens as for Ukraine (we have a sizable, well-behaved Ukrainian minority already and took the most refugees per capita at the height of the crisis).
As for why pretty much every politician is either oblivious or bootlicking Israel: see my comment under a post about the shredder escapade 4 months ago
Yup. Israel is treating them like land that’s free to colonize, when in reality a nation (albeit one with unstable government, and only recently UN-recognized) lives there.
Similarly, Japan can’t claim it’s “defending itself” if it hypothetically performs violent acts in Lebanon.
That’s why I didn’t specify which kind. I knew some laptops had a DSL or dial-up modem inside for use with any telephone sockets on the go.
Two RJ ports on a laptop? Some of us are lucky to get one!
Why list a select 15 abstainers in the summary rather than the 14 voting against? Besides the obvious ones (Israel, US, Czechia), there’s Hungary, Argentina, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Palau, Nauru, Malawi, Tuvalu, Tonga and Micronesia.
You can have it. It’s a blight on the land and I wouldn’t even demand anything in return, not even closing down Turów or retreating from that random chapel.
The Polish thing is being split between Germany and Russia again
Germany and Czechia are not surrounding countries but Kaliningrad (then named Královec) was founded by Czech king Přemysl Otakar II. at the height of the Bohemian empire, and was later part of Prussia (basically Germany in the 1800s).
I don’t think many Germans are joking about annexing Kaliningrad because of the WWII stigma but Czech redditors regularly invade r/Kaliningrad only to get promptly banned.
It says the barrel was cast, which is definitely not precise machining
I thought the average !programminghumor@lemmy.world user is already FOSSpilled. Of course you don’t have to use the FOSS tools but they are convenient enough to be able to make this in 10 minutes.
Anyway, the relevant commands are
yt-dlp -f "bv*[height<=480]+ba" --no-mtime --convert-subs srt --write-sub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SOryJvTAGs
# aegisub needs srt; we don't need above 480p
aegisub "The B-52's - Love Shack (Official Music Video) [9SOryJvTAGs].en.srt"
# now go rewrite appropriate lines in gui, apply style and save as "LoveShack.ass"
ffmpeg -i "The B-52's - Love Shack (Official Music Video) [9SOryJvTAGs].mp4" -filter_complex "[0:v]subtitles=LoveShack.ass[s];[s]crop=w=640[f]" -map [f] -map 0:a -ss 49 -t 21 -acodec aac -vcodec libx265 -crf 20 crowdstrike.mp4
# crf 20 for generously high quality because file size is small anyway
# or for Lemmy upload (no sound, WebM to prevent encoding...
# ...and subsequent ffmpeg timeout errors; my instance limits uploads to 10 MiB)
ffmpeg -i "The B-52's - Love Shack (Official Music Video) [9SOryJvTAGs].mp4" -filter_complex "[0:v]subtitles=LoveShack.ass[s];[s]crop=w=ih/3*4[f]" -map [f] -ss 49.5 -t 21 -vcodec vp9 crowdstrike.webm
# note that Lemmy instances limit videos to 900 frames (usually 30 s) by default
I didn’t bother recreating your subtitle and cut timing but I did crop the video to 4:3. The frame rate is doubled and so is the apparent resolution, while the file size is 6x smaller; the Lemmy version is also about 6x smaller but I went for low-bitrate 720p:
It’s really not any harder than what you are currently doing. You’d just use a more reasonable video codec. But you do you, it’s not that bad.
GIF from YouTube
YouTube doesn’t provide GIFs. It provides videos. Conversion to GIF is an unnecessary step. Use yt-dlp, Aegisub and ffmpeg for a FOSS way of downloading a video, trimming it and burning subtitles into it.
GIF is really terrible as a video format. You can upload actual video with sound on Lemmy (most instances use a 20MB, 900-frame limit, also server-side ffmpeg often times out) or Pixelfed (15MB, unknown frame limit).
Yes, I know you didn’t bother to use an AI or commission an artist to sing the new lyrics but you could mux in an instrumental version (or heck, even just leave the original) for me and others who may remember the melody from the radio but don’t associate it with the music video.
It’s a reference to the greentext I posted in another comment. I know it makes no sense.
I forgot you need “/s” after every joke, even in joke communities. It is a reference to this greentext:
Let’s give anon the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps they’re an alien engineer from a planet that only knows rockets, disguised as a teenager to learn about our modes of transportation.
Yes, there is a short film with just about this plot
Both? Are they combined into a hybrid port that works with either protocol?
