The Fire Nation ships are based on the design of the IJN ships in WW2, particularly the Yamato. For the Case of the Royal Sloop, I find it funny that they gave it a literal pagoda mast as this design feature on Japanese ships in WW2 has been the source of much ridicule and mockery due to them being so awkwardly and comically tall. The most notorious example of such mockery being towards the Fuso class battleships.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to post this announcement as I've seen a few people in an !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca (the more serious pendant to !casualconversation@lemmy.world ) complaining about the lack of filtering features for their feed.

It is now possible in your accounts settings, last tab, which shows users, communities and instances you block.

Hopefully that can be helpful to some people.

Hello everyone,

Languages are a topic I like talking about, and I guess they always play a main role in dynamics across the European countries. I know that nowadays English is more or less the lingua franca, but I can't help but think that we could have other auxiliary languages among languages from the same family.

A good example is Interlingua (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingua), which is very easy to understand for Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Romanian and Catalan speakers. It will probably always stay a niche project known by a bunch of enthusiasts, but I can't help but imagine what would change if those countries had a common language that could easily by used by all of their people (English is not that straightforward, especially for older people).

That also makes me ask which languages we could use here. Could be fun to try to have a day without English, and see the chaos that would ensue

Hello everyone, I've followed this thread yesterday and noticed a few very negative reactions towards the choice of Java. I follow Java evolution from far away, but it seemed like it was evolving in a good direction since the last few years, and that performance-wise it would make sense for the back-end of a Lemmy-like platform.

Is it indeed the case? I was just curious to see that much negativity towards one of the most popular languages.

Hello everyone,

I really enjoyed !esp@eslemmy.es, but it has been down for a while, so I created !esp@lemm.ee. The idea is just to have a space to talk about anything in Spanish.

-- Hola a todos,

Realmente disfruté !esp@eslemmy.es, pero ha estado caído por un tiempo, así que creé !esp@lemm.ee. La idea es simplemente tener un espacio para hablar de cualquier cosa en español.
