    I don't know why I'm subscribed to this community. I never understand any of your posts or comments.

    lol 🀣... 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" 🀣🀣🀣.

    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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)
    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    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"

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    Yeah, I use it as well πŸ˜‚. Hell, if it's for a baby's skin, it can't hurt for grown ups 🀷 πŸ˜‚.

    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 πŸ‘.

    sudo make behave

    I'm just going to leave this here, in case anyone needs it... :-D

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

    User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    I wish it worked πŸ˜”.

    A weird crossover between linuxmemes and cremposting

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Sudocrem is such a life saver.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Until the kids get their hands on it and decide use it to "paint" half a room.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    Reminded me that I apparently once painted the TV with nail varnish.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    Or just paint themselves...

    i can't tell if this is serbocroatian or slovenian or something else but i'm too afraid to ask

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] force 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    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.

    [–] MeanEYE 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    For "backwards compatibility" I presume... and also catering to Croats and Bosnians that live in Serbia.

    [–] MeanEYE 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    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 πŸ˜‚.

    Russians are die hard though, they don't write Russian in Latin... ever πŸ˜‚.

    [–] MeanEYE 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I should probably start typing more in Cyrillic, even my messages. Most people will laugh at me for doing so.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    Yeah, mine as well πŸ˜‚... cuz most know I type texts and chat client messages in latin only πŸ˜‚.

    [–] force 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    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).

    [–] Persen 3 points 10 months ago

    It's Serbocroatian, Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    It's not Czech. I'd say it's Croatian.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    Yep, Croatian.

    With great power comes great responsibility!

    [–] badbytes 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    It's how mini servers are born. Just a little Sudocrem inserted into open port.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    It has to be the right port though... otherwise, it's a waste of data.

    [–] poplargrove 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Can someone explain the joke?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    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 πŸ˜‚.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    The cream you put on toddlers?

    [–] sheogorath 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Yep, I put it on my toddler's ass when they misbehave.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    What cream?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    It's for diaper rash and such

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    OK, that may not have been the best choice of words 🀣🀣🀣. Oitment maybe?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    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?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

    Lol 🀣. 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 ☺️.
