Almost a month later, Putin realised he had his Chernobyl moment and failed it
  • The Black Sea is their one and only domestic summer holiday destination... Used to be.

  • Almost a month later, Putin realised he had his Chernobyl moment and failed it
  • Not something that affects many people. By Moscow standards, several tens of thousands is a few apartment buildings.

  • Who volunteers for the suicide mission of telling the Turks?
  • I think the font for Slavs can't be right. How about using BukyVede?

  • Who volunteers for the suicide mission of telling the Turks?
  • With Bulgarians it's enough telling them that those ignorant Westerners can't distinguish between Greeks and Thracians. Something similar could work with Romanian about Dacians. With Serbs I don't see this working - it would mean they are Macedonian, and I don't see how they could swallow that.

  • Bucharest, Romania

  • Well, it seems that the territory in question later became what is known as the Mexican Cession of 1848.

  • News came out that he personally called to stop the construction of a gunpowder facility. We all know that this is a critical resource in the war. https://www.svobodnaevropa.bg/a/33266401.html Now you see how much the presumption is off and how infuriating all this is.

    A competition on word disambiguation

    >We invite participants to benchmark systems for word sense induction (WSI) across multiple languages. Unlike traditional approaches, this task evaluates WSI without relying on predefined sense inventories, offering a more theoretically plausible framework for understanding word meanings.

    >Participants will be provided with: >* A set of polysemous target headwords. >* Sentences containing these words in diverse contexts. > >The goal is to cluster the sentences according to the sense in which the target word is used. > >A different set of headwords and contexts will be provided for each of the following languages: English, Czech, German, Spanish, Estonian, Chinese > >For each language, there will be approximately 25 headwords with 1500+ contexts each.

    Best Way to Convert My Python Web App to an Offline Desktop App?
  • I've been using path 3 and it was fine for me. I even adapted the docker-pyinstaller to also compile Mac-native binaries.

    The thing is that in your case the users would still need to run front-end and back-end. Unless you want to implement some browser-starting logic (which is a pain to do multiplatform), this will be up to them ans that's one click too many to start.

    As far as I can tell you have such a problem with path 1 as well.

  • Low poly models without the low poly style
  • I don't know it, but if it supports transparent textures, you could try something like this: https://animium.com/2008/08/lowpoly-trees. The basic idea (not exactly what's in the link) is that each branch is a texture on a plane facing your camera - clearly works only if camera angle doesn't change. Depending on engine performance and distance from objects, you could simplify down to having 3-4 layers per tree. I'd call this something along the lines of "lowpoly parallax trees". I've seen it working very neatly in a top-down third-person demo of Blender Game Engine a while ago.

    A neat way of producing these could be getting a hipoly model of a tree and culling sliced renders of its branches.

    Of course, if you don't have things behind the tree, or the tree moving, you don't need parallax at all and could bake the whole tree on a small surface.

    A lot of decisions depend on the exact affordances of the game.

    El naufragio de dos petroleros rusos a mediados de diciembre provocó una marea negra en el estrecho de Kerch, situado entre Rusia y la península anexada de Crimea. La mancha se extiende y llega ahora a la ciudad de Sebastopol.

    Low poly models without the low poly style
  • It's a million dollar question, isn't it. I'd think you'll need to consider having baked textures as an option.

    What engine are you using? That makes a big difference.

    The Black Sea is simultaneously a very fragile ecosystem and an important economical gateway. Many interests mix here, and this is part of the reason for the wars and protests that surround its shores.

    This is a group for people interested in it, be it because they live next to it, or because they are inspired by its characteristics. Conversations in all regional languages are welcome alongside English.

    !balkanika@feddit.bg - a community about Southeast Europe
  • Yes, this is a Bulgarian instance, you'll notice it's quite small. That's because it's pretty young and people like you haven't seen it yet. :) We have a few reddit refugees on board. Beyond Bulgarian-language discussions, we also host some regional ones, like the one in this thread or !blacksea@feddit.bg. So you're welcome to join, as usual.

    As for reasons behind Bulgarian hacker/pirate culture, history has lots to explain. Quite a bit written about it, but I'm a fan of the Guardian.

    PS: Lemmy federation is a pain, I still cannot respond to your more recent comments.

    Turkey won't support peace plan with territorial concessions, Ukrainian lawmaker says
  • Right now Turkey is the military dominating the Black Sea. The only actual risk for them is if the sea gets demilitarised. They certainly don't want this.

  • Ukraine awards Magnitsky-sanctioned Delyan Peevski from Bulgaria
  • He declares things like this for ages, yet he informally controls the chief prosecutor's office (and with this practically the entire legal system) in the country and as a consequence nobody moves a finger. This is not something that any politician on the continent doesn't know. It is a deliberate and well-informed act. https://www.politico.eu/article/bulgaria-how-it-became-mafia-state-of-eu/ Watch this space, but so far no actual signs.
