@dana @picard@lemmy.blahaj.zone I read elsewhere (like this article in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/28/chef-ievgen-klopotenko-putting-ukrainian-cuisine-back-on-the-map) how even Ukrainians tended to lose memory of their own culinary heritage during Soviet times, and there’s a big movement by people like Ievgen Klopotenko (https://klopotenko.com/en) to reintroduce stuff that was lost back into their culture (he also has a book coming out in English later this year which I’m really looking forward to!).

@dana @picard@lemmy.blahaj.zone Sorry, it did not boost your reply to me.

I agree - Summer Kitchens is excellent. I really want to try to write a review some time. It was quite a revelation to me, Ukrainian cuisine - like, it really should be considered one of the top world cuisines. And the fact that not only is it not - but that almost nobody would even think there is such a thing in the first place - probably says quite a lot about the colonial silencing of the Ukrainian culture.

@dana I think it looks amazing. Homemade borshch is great.

Really good photo too!

And the recipe sounds quite easy.

@toni@blahaj.zone @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone @dana Directly supporting Ukrainians: https://shop.brave.ua is a marketplace operated in partnership with the Ukrainian government; Ukrainians provide products for sale internationally. I've used it many times and can vouch for it. Products range from clothes (got a fantastic winter coat from them), books, paintings, jigsaws, honey, etc. Delivery cost is per seller, not per order, so that's worth bearing in mind - buying from multiple sellers will incur multiple delivery charges.

@toni@blahaj.zone @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone OK I have a few will split into some separate posts.

@dana already covered some so will leave them off mine.

Anna from Ukraine (https://youtube.com/channel/UCiVefOT4TGW3pOqW6AxmlBQ) - daily vlog with war, culture, history - plus Soviet Myths Debunked.

How to be brave like Ukraine (https://howtobe.brave.ua/en-index.php) is a short course on Ukrainian history provided in partnership with the Ukrainian government covering a range of subjects - art, culture, technology; lessons are easy and only take about ten minutes each.

@toni@blahaj.zone @dana @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone Hmm. I tried to reply with a list directly on the post Lemmy but it won't post for some reason, just keeps spinning. Will try again later!

@toni@blahaj.zone @dana @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone Hello

I may have some suggestions for podcasts, media, resources - will try to put something useful together today. Started writing but realised I could go on for ages and not sure how much / what structure you're after. Seems like there are a lot of good resources, not sure how many you want, or how much can fit in description box?

One other minor thing: there's a small typo of aggression in the final paragraph of description.

@eshep @salarua @madcodger Yeah the Calckey PWA is great! A much better experience than any of the apps with support, in my opinion.

@poVoq @altair222 I think the incentivisation to improve Proton is a big part of it. To be honest, I never really had any issues playing anything in Linux in the year before the Deck, so in practice probably not noticed any difference.

But I feel it's hard to quantify isn't it? Like, would Diablo 4 beta have worked without issue had the ecosystem not already been built up to encourage people to tinker and get it working?

These kinds of intangible benefits are still positive factors I think...
