Russian-languaged media is not commonly consumed by someone living under imperial/Fahrenheit system, so it's only natural.
For English, it might make sense to at least always add Celsius in parentheses, unless it's highly regional news.
Also, привет российским леммиводам :D
Fair, my bad! Sorry if it was offensive.
I just got a little sick of all the Fahrenheit (and also Imperial) domination around here. This, in turn, is often left without clarification, despite the system being way less popular.
Lemmy as a platform is extremely America-centric, despite having tons of folks from everywhere else, which is aggravating in the long run. World really, really doesn't all revolve around land of the free.
I agree clarification never hurts, but the entire world except for ~4% of highly entitled population will read that right.
Numbers don't even seem to add up, or something strongly changed between 2007 and 2010.
Also, you're either a troll or a very incompetent researcher. You should absolutely never ever rely on LLMs to serve you any factual data. LLMs are highly prone to hallucinations.
Here's an actual paper on the issue: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167268123001713
Generally, the migrant crime rate increased in 2008-2014, but then decreased throughout 2015-2019. In total, the change averages to about zero.
As per reasoning, two primary forces are demonstrated: on one hand, poorer material conditions, and on the other, the fear of being deported. In 2015-2019, during refugee crisis, being sent back could mean essential death sentence, which shifted the balance. All of this is to say that we should improve material conditions for migrants if we want the crime rates among them to drop further. Instead, it is currently done under threats of deportation.
The only thing left unanswered for me is sexual violence. But in Germany, the difference between natives and locals is not as big as to justify mass measures against an entirety of migrant population.
It's a common indicator of people making throwaway accounts for the sake of trolling without backlash.
Sometimes genuine accounts may have strong takes, but that's more rare. And the nickname "mods_mum" doesn't make it any more believable.
I'mma be honest, I didn't dig statistics for Germany, but I live in Russia where the same migrant hysteria is rampant rn, and saw some numbers from there.
On average, immigrants in Russia commit less crimes per person than native population. The areas in which there are objectively more crimes are migration laws (obviously) and sexual offences. Numbers in other categories are higher by native Russians. And mind you, our migrants come from underdeveloped primarily Muslim countries, too.
With that said, do you have data on the share of crimes committed by native German population and immigrants? Pure numbers mean little without context.

It's a meme aimed to ridicule the rhetoric of the U.S. Republican party aimed at portraying Democrats as communists, which is still a swear word in America.
Like, "imagine if actual communists (represented by Bolsheviks in the meme) were that mild".
A bit more politeness goes a very long way.
Try being more civil, this will earn you way more support, especially since you want to change people's minds.
I see - thanks for clarification!
Got confused because beforehand there was GNU IceWeasel (now GNU IceCat), which is now separate from IceWeasel. Quite a shitshow.
Answering questions in the article:
But is it actually possible? Yes. It's not complicated by modern space industry standards.
Is it smart to do? Absolutely not, it is insanely wasteful and unpractical. Electric light exists, just sayin'. Also, you either need to switch between satellites in a swarm, which will suddenly change the angles of light, or you have to put satellites onto geostationary orbit, which is even more wasteful.
And would it really look exactly as portrayed in the video? No. It is known they did not use satellites for it, most likely it was a drone. Light will come from a much greater distance and will also dissipate more - harassing your surroundings, that is.
Original article is about Asia, and Lemmy is an international platform, so neither applies here
I don't mind some actually regional things presented in whatever system they use in there - although I'd much prefer if we'd all go metric already. C'mon!
