Hmm turns out the Turkish word for cherry, 'vişne', is similar to the Romanian word I noticed earlier in the trip, 'vișinǎ'; which is similar to the Polish word 'wiśnia'.

Though they might all be borrowed from Latin, but no - the Latin word for cherry is 'cerasus'. Interesting.

#Turkish athlete throws medal into the Nile after sanction for pro-Palestine gesture

Turkish #athlete Necmettin Erbakan Akyuz cast his medal into the Nile River after the European Wushu Kungfu Federation suspended his championship title and launched an investigation into his support for #Palestine.

In December 2023, following his victory at the European Wushu Championship held in Istanbul, Türkiye, Akyuz waved a #Palestinian flag in a show of solidarity with #Gaza.

🇹🇷 Bayağı uzanırken cep telefonuyla çektim videoyu, amacım da zaten uzanırken oynamak deckle, ondan idare edin eheh.

Free tier, 2 kişi vardı önümde, 1 dk kadar sıra bekledim, sonrası bu video.

Delay hissetmedim gibi bir şey elimde. Zaten Gameplus'ta datacenterlar TR diye biliyorum

PS: Deck'te mat ekran filtresi var, ondan biraz bulanık gibi gelebilir (LCD 512GB modeli), canlı gözle çok daha iyi görüntü.

@n_dimension @shaknais @maxleibman what kind of facist policestate has it become?

  • Oh nevermind, having an encrypted phone or using secure communications is also illegal, I guess... [1 - 5]

And to enshure "criminals" can't just order something on ShitExpress, they now have an #IMEI-#Allowlisting / #Firewall in place that makes the #Turkish Registration Demands look chill in comparison, [6 - 10] cuz they only yeet devices after 90 days and not preemtively block them from any network!

  • This wouldn't be such a proplem if Australia was like Germany where the furthest doctor away is 1hr by bike and the worst one could get is a bite from a rabid fox and having to get some post-exposure shots. So yeah tourists are not gonna be able to call for help in down under...

Seriously, whoever came up with these ideas needs to touch grass, preferablzyin the outback on foot!
