And yeah quite lost cuz it turns out the only reason I saw this post was because I was browsing by "everything," I thought I was browsing in my subscriptions. Am so lost.
lol π€£... yeah, has happened to me while, for some reason, I've started browing some community and just forgot that I was in it, instead of my feed, like "boy, they sure overdid the meme posts today" π€£π€£π€£.
that's me and the dndmemes community
I never expected to see something written in any language from Balkans here, nice.
I can provide you a Greek version of sudocream if would you like it
Please do :)
I can provide the Czech version tomorrow, if you wish.
This is a greek price aggregator
https://www.skroutz.gr/s/5082500/Sudocrem-Kataprayntiki-Krema-250gr.html
Here is the google translation
"protects, soothes and relieves
ideal for every diaper change
for external use only
care for the whole family"
Yeah, I use it as well π. Hell, if it's for a baby's skin, it can't hurt for grown ups π€· π.
Does wonders to be honest, rashes gone in a day or two. It really is a great product (and not that expensive as well). Would recommend it to anyone if you can find it in pharmacies π.

I never expected to see anyone from the Balkans here π€£... except for me π€£.
sudo make behave
I'm just going to leave this here, in case anyone needs it... :-D
User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
I wish it worked π.
A weird crossover between linuxmemes and cremposting
Sudocrem is such a life saver.
Until the kids get their hands on it and decide use it to "paint" half a room.
Or just paint themselves...
Reminded me that I apparently once painted the TV with nail varnish.
i can't tell if this is serbocroatian or slovenian or something else but i'm too afraid to ask
Serbocroatian is long gone, it was a construct made up back in Yugoslavia. It was basically Serbian written in latin (basically... there were some things from Croatian, but very little).
It's Croatian. Serbian and Croatian are similar, but Serbian is written in Cyrillic, while Croatian in Latin.
A majority of linguists consider Serbocroatian to be one language, there are many distinct dialects (with different countries having different standards). The writing system is irrelevant, the writing system isn't the language (this can be seen in Mongolian, Tibetan, Hindustani, Persian, Kazakh, previously Azerbaijani, and contemporary Chinese languages as well). Also you can write Serbian in Latin script (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Serbian)
They are no less mutually intelligible than what are considered different dialects of other languages. In fact as someone who can read Russian & Polish I can understand a good amount of written Serbocroatian with trouble (it's a lot harder than reading something like Ukrainian due to linguistic distance), it's significantly closer between Serbian & Croatian varieties. Often people on media/politics pretend not to understand the other though due to mutual hatred from nationalism.
I would like to spend a lot of time on the language one day, I haven't done much besides read some from grammar books on it. I like it a lot.
Yes, you can write Serbian in latin, but not on any documents... as in, you can do it, but informally.
You are correct about the politics part. Serbs and Croats understand each other perfectly, so do Bosnisnas. The odd balls out were Slovenian and Macedonian, with Slovenian (IMO) being a little bit harder to decypher than Macedonian.
Ye AFAIK Slovenian is considered a very different language by most and Macedonian is significantly more grammatically similar to Bulgarian. I'm not very sure about Macedonian tho.
Yes, gramatically, it's similar to Bulgarian (we don't have cases like the others, we solve that with adverbs and adjectives), but in terms of words, it's similar to Serbian and Croatian. Regarding sentence structure, yes, it's similar to Bulgarian, with emphasis sounding more like Serbian or Croatian (Bulgarian sounds more like Russian).
Slovenia was under Austro-Hungary during the last 5 centuries (20th century excluded), so they have a lot of German (Austrian) lingo in their vocabulary, plus sentence formation is also kind of confusing (for me at least).
Government issued documents are in Cyrillic by default in Serbia, but official documents can be written in Latin as well. It's not forbidden to use either of the alphabets. Most of the ads, signs and similar material are written indeed in Latin.
For "backwards compatibility" I presume... and also catering to Croats and Bosnians that live in Serbia.
I'd say it's a habit now more than anything. It's also more convenient not having to configure computer and phone, etc. Latin has become dominant. Everyone still learns both and has to know how to write in print and cursive. But no one writes print Cyrillic by hand anymore, or at least very few. I still prefer cursive Cyrillic to anything else, because it flows better. But print Latin is what most kids write these days from what I've seen. There has been suggestions of government incentive to keep Cyrillic. Proposal was to give some tax deductions if companies use Cyrillic for most things. Probably didn't go far. But it is a cultural heritage worth keeping.
Cyrillic is a must here (Macedoia). Sure, we text and may write in Latin (not all the time though), but other than that, yeah, we still use Cyrillic.
I just text in Latin. Can't really get accustomed to the Cyrillic keboard, 4 more letters and my fingers are thick π.
Russians are die hard though, they don't write Russian in Latin... ever π.
I should probably start typing more in Cyrillic, even my messages. Most people will laugh at me for doing so.
Yeah, mine as well π... cuz most know I type texts and chat client messages in latin only π.
It's Serbocroatian, Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian.
It's not Czech. I'd say it's Croatian.
Yep, Croatian.
With great power comes great responsibility!
It's how mini servers are born. Just a little Sudocrem inserted into open port.
It has to be the right port though... otherwise, it's a waste of data.
Can someone explain the joke?
sudo cream... as in you put the cream on your toddlers when they misbehave, so you get sudo privilges with them (super user do, it's the same as executing commands as root, i.e. you can do anything and everything, it's the highest level of permission). For example, sudo behave. It's often used if regular behave just doesn't cut it π.
The cream you put on toddlers?
It's for diaper rash and such
OK, that may not have been the best choice of words π€£π€£π€£. Oitment maybe?
No I just mean that I have no idea what you're talking about. We don't put any cream on children when they misbehave here, so I don't understand this product. Could you describe it?
Lol π€£. It's just baby cream, nothing special about it. The name is what's interesting. Part of it is sudo, as in the command (super user do), which basically gives you root pivileges. You can do anything as root, even destroy the OS (fairly easily I might add). The joke is, if regular commands don't work on your child, you put a little sudocream on them and they will execute every command you throw at them.
I hope this makes things clearer βΊοΈ.
