This comes from a 1986 holiday special of the very good Czechoslovak Arabella fantasy TV series, but unlike the (arguably better) Star Wars one, not enough angry people called the TV station so it's been rebroadcast since on the short-lived Slovak ":3" channel. A German Arabella fan uploaded it to YouTube taking great effort to make German subtitles, way more than the shit content deserves.

This scene is part of a four-season-themed ice skating revue. I chose it because it has the most furries in the entire film, to match the TV logo. And yes, the animals with crude suits appear several other times in the film, here's a close-up of the fox as air attendant

Translation:

(Slovak intro)

(Before start of clip) The Snow Queen can freeze almost anything with her wind, her icy touch.
Except one thing.
The love in the hearts of people who love each other.
Which is why Christmas is a holiday of love.

(First stanza of a well-known Czech carol)

♪ We wish you health, happiness and holy peace.
♪ To the major-domo and the children too.
♪ We come from far away, we're bringing news
♪ Of what just happened in the town of Betlehem.
♪ We come from far away, we're bringing news
♪ Of what just happened in the town of Betlehem.

Have trans people finally upgraded to software with Unicode 15 support? Android 13, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Windows 11 22H2, macOS 13.3, iOS 16.4...

[email protected] users provide the best data but can we use that to generalize? Joining us are !onehundredninetysix users to debate on how representative neofetch screenshots are of the trans population.

As for "has this happened before"? Well, of all Wayback Machine snapshots:

I just saw ![email protected] as #6 in Communities/All (sorted by Hot) (web archive) on feddit.org. This feels weird because the feddit.de server has been down for almost 2 years and the community seems to have no content (the home server cannot be contacted to verify but no posts seem to have been federated to other popular instances like feddit.org) and obviously never will have. As for the subscriber count, feddit.org keeps its own tally, which is currently (archive) at 64. This does not include new subscribers after the last federation with feddit.de, except local ones. These can also be checked separately, and the number is... one. This suggests that only one person ever subscribed to ![email protected] in the past 1.5 years (as far as feddit.org, a 1k-weekly-active-user instance, is concerned), and yet the community is very high in Hot for a day.

Obviously, the visibility of the Communities/All (by Hot) list varies by client, for example Voyager shows it unsolicited as "Trending communities" in the Search pane, and even though Lemmy devs didn't include it prominently in default Lemmy UI, they definitely have considered the value of this list in mind since it's made the shortlist in Lemmy's API benchmarks.

It's probably okay, it can walk and fly.

I tried giving it some bread but it wasn't paying any attention to it. I shoved it closer, which scared the poor guy and it flew on a first floor windowsill across the street. That's probably for the best, it could easily fall victim to a dog otherwise. I threw the bread up there but it seemed tired from the flight and sat in the shade. Most of the bread was gone the next day, and so was the pigeon.

I was really surprised by how long the young ones' beaks are, I first thought it could be a corvid.

Eggcorns (Wikipedia / YouTube video by RobWords) are language mistakes that sometimes take over and change the spelling and perhaps even the meaning of a word. This is rare in German because there's fewer homophones but in this episode of Wort der Woche, DW explains how "munttot" became "mundtot". Available as audio or transcript.

Yup, this is real, recorded 15 minutes before the new year.

Also see our top-of-the-2010s Christmas song Půlnoční, whose music video features the building on midnight of New Year's. Since I was there shortly before that time, I told all people willing to listen.

Yup, it's real. How did it get into production with

• a flattened back tire with central hub very off-center,
• right pedal on the left side, and very far below the cyclist's leg,
• chain routing defying common sense,
• and a disjointed left glass?

At least the socks seem to be classic low-res stitch art likely by humans...

WebP does everything GIF did, just better. The only problem is adoption. Maybe a similar, single-syllable name could have helped.

• Ends the pronunciation debate: hard G in the 1987 filetype, soft G in the 2010 one
• Looping soundless video gets a name that's short and does not refer to a terribly inefficient format (that "gif" sharing sites often no longer use anyway), plus some wrong people have been using it already
• Software peer-pressured into supporting it (nobody wants to hear "they don't support JIF" about their software)

They say lab is short for German Labor, which is short for Romanian laborator, which is short for Latin laboratorium.

...and paper that says "Enjoy the rust, swasticar" on the windshield

Seen in Prague-Karlín, about 30 m away from that other mildly vandalized vehicle. Looking up the licence plate, the owner's full name seems to be Igor Norton Tesla Slovák and it's the first Cybertruck in the country, so he must have spent lots of money importing it and modding it (and bribing officials?) to pass registration.

Yes, Prague is inexplicably car-brained for how dense the public transport network is.

Phil Mason, aka Thunderf00t, is a US expat at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and most of his last 80 videos are about criticizing Musk. I wonder if he ever encounters a Cybertruck (there have been multiple for quite a while) and films it up close, it would help if he stopped reusing footage so much.

Prague 16, Radotín, is a former village at the southwestern edge of the city, mostly known for its commuter rail stop between Beroun and Praha-Smíchov.

This is a joke, the console is unrelated in all but name.

The slideshow is just the VÍTÁME VÁS / NA SHLEDANOU welcome/goodbye message (based on whether the panel is entry-/exit-facing, a URL, and wayfinding info such as "🠜 PŘEPÁŽKY 36, 38-44 / 🠝 RECEPCE, PŘEPÁŽKY 12, 13, 15-20, 28-29" . They absolutely could have used a way less powerful machine for this, or better utilized the screen estate (wayfinding on the welcome/URL screen as well? English?).

Does anyone know the software they're using? I recreated the icon:

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.

Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did
