There is no need to compare bigoted religions. However, if you want to do so Islam comes out as the more bigot and violent hands down.
Look at the punishment for apostasy or homosexuality as an example.
Sure, it is a minority religion in the west, thankfully, so it is less of a problem compared to Christianity from a selfish, west centric view.
However from a general perspective of how religion is used to oppress and control other people Islam is pretty much where Christianity was 3 centuries ago.
Yes, many people hate Islam because they want their bigoted religion not to be threatened, or because Islam is practiced by people too brown for their racism, but this doesn't mean that every time someone criticizes Islam for the many, many reasons that it deserves to be criticized, people need to jump to defend it.
What is even more shocking is that this regularly happens in communities where using the wrong pronoun is considered a capital sin, but somehow defending a bigoted religion that in some cases leads to the hanging of homosexuals is fine, as long as it's a reflex to other bigotry (real or perceived).
Because native russian speakers don't have the perspective of learning it as a second language. Of course everything we learn as kids looks more obvious later on.
I think the Russian cursive is at least one level above of complexity compared to at least neolatin languages (like Italian, French, etc.). I don't know about German though.
Also, it might be a matter of familiarity in general. All Russian speakers I have known could always read Latin characters, so the alphabet is probably generally more familiar to most people compared to Greek or Cyrillic alphabet.
I understand why you think cursive is closer to "regular" alphabet in Russian, but I can assure you that learning Russian cursive is basically a separate topic entirely and is really really hard. Big examples are д (looks like g), и, й and м are basically indentical, т looks like m.
Yes, I was in this situation and I did exactly that. You need a splitter and then moca adapters in the rooms (a bit expensive at least 5-6 years ago where I lived).
It is more complicated than that, and it changes country by country.
There are cultural/traditional issues that contribute to perpetrating the vicious circle of poverty. One such factor is preventing kids from attending schools. This makes some people unable to speak local language and functionally unemployable, paving the road to poverty and marginalization.
That said, at least in my country this issue affects a tiny minority of the Roma population.
An even smaller minority is apolid, mostly coming from ex-Yugoslavia, which obviously causes several problems with the ability to work.
The main aspect though is that "solutions" proposed by many governments, like building "camps" when they can settle, are just ineffective from all points of view, prevent integration and foster the tendency to a conservative and closed culture.
Not every worker is an hourly worker. There are people who buy summer houses, there are people who buy boats. A sailboat like the one in the article (or in the OC) not only often is rented out, it's not that expensive to buy as well.
Yachts are a different game, but I don't care about the semantic of what is a yacht, the point is, small boats, especially sailboats, are something that some people buy for themselves as a retirement "gift" or something. They are workers and they deserve to enjoy what they saved during a life of being exploited, and this narrative that as soon as you live above the poverty line you are a billionaire is counterproductive.
Belonging to a class is a matter of relationship with means of production, not of wealth. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people using their money earned through their labor for boats, especially in the case of sailboats, which are not environmentally as bad as yachts.
The problem emerges when the money are extracted from other people's labor. Plenty of people can afford a sailboat, if they wish it, after years/decades of work.
This would have not have changed anything in terms of not being reconciled with and have elaborated the fascist past.
You would have had exactly the same situation today, just with different borders.
Half the country supported fascism, either directly or through inaction, what do you do...? Demilitarization would be of no help here, so what are the options?
It is a cultural process that needs to cause a collective reflection to move on. What "punishment" would have worked in your opinion?
US controlled Italy as well. In Italy there was essentially a civil war, which is how fascism got defeated, with the resistance cooperating with the Allies, and a government and constitution being established as a result.
The problem with Italy is not about punishment, is cultural. Italy never collectively reflected and moved on from the fascist past. Maybe there is some good discussion about the relationship between this and being a catholic country.
Monocultural past?
Italy is not a single country even today. People 200km apart can't understand each other if they would speak their local language.
People hate each other even within the same region (e.g., Pisa vs Livorno).
There is quite a lot of hate and discrimination even between South and North, between cities (Naples/Milan/Rome), especially due to internal migrations (many people go from South to Rome to study, or north to work).
One of the major parties (today) rebranded as a nationalist party just recently, but is still called "north league" and was a secessionist party until 10 years ago or so (probably still is to some extent).
Everyone in Italy is absolutely aware of local culture and differences, and Italians have a very vague idea of what Italy is as a country. The national identity is really weird, and often people feel more part of their local heritage than Italian (e.g., Sicilian or roman).
Also dunking on Italy is basically a national sport, almost everyone in Italy is convinced that abroad "things work, not like here". However, people get protective when an outgroup criticizes Italy, that's when you get a "nationalist" perspective. This is quite common for many groups though.
What open standard (that are not used by proton too)?
If anything proton uses GPG while tuta uses a custom system (which is why they also encrypt the subject).
I can see they have lots of options!
However the platforming seems to be slightly different? In case of HK I suppose that invincibility-like mode is what I suggested brought to the extreme (I.e. you can just walk over spikes etc). Maybe the other thing that could work is slowing the game down so that timing is easier to get.
I think it's an interesting discussion accessibility from this point of view. I think everyone draws the line at some point, between accessibility and simply making a game with some principles that represent the soul of the game.
Tbh it's a reflex and dexterity game, among other things, so it is not for everyone. In the same way a game that requires memorising melodies is not for me, since I suck hard at it.
I suppose there could be a mod that simply doesn't let you die and you can explore the whole world.
There is no other way to make a platforming section easier, unless you add more anchor points etc., which requires actually changing the world (essentially, you remove the platforming section), so those could still be a problem.
Yeah I am almost at the end of the act 1 (i think?) and so far the impression is that if something seems to have a long walk or having to repeat a hard parcour section, I didn't find some hidden bench or shortcut to bypass said parcour section.
In general I can see this game being started as an expansion for HK, the difficulty is quite high and the curve steeper, but I can't relate with most of the complains so far (the currency maybe a little, but it's normal IMHO you can't just shop everything at once from a new vendor you find).
Initially I was put off by the double damage, but the heal being short and x3 I think compensates for it (plus, you can do it mid air etc.).

Some powers are really strong (e.g., luck of the far realm). But what is really strong is the transformation. Fly every turn? Yes please.

This stuff has been happening all the time over decades. It's a few hundreds idiots who put up clown shows. It's nothing new, really.
Boris (IT), a metaseries about the production of shitty telenovelas. It also condenses Italian culture from multiple PoV in a spectacular way.
Loved it. I think the fact thay they shot it twice (NO and EN), with the actors having the norwegian accent made it even more fun for me.

Not to self-promote, but I have expressed my opinion on the topic.
Wait until you will need a team of people to optimize cloud costs.(finops) for peak irony.
I have never heard of the game, i guess you are referring to https://celeste.ink/wiki/Assist_Mode?
