So my girlfriend wanted me to drive her to the Roman Catholic Cemetary so she can visit her deceased grandmother. So I drive there and let my girlfriend do her stuff. I got really bored really fast, so I started walking around looking at the graves, interested to see which ones are really old and which ones are recent, interesting names, etc... then I walk by a grave and notice its Croatian. I'm like "nice"... but then I looked closer.... it had the Croatian flag on it and a U. Quick glance and it sent chills down my spine. So I started walking some more.. and then I saw more of the symbol and more and more and more... to the point where it became really common. I was like WTF!! Now many people would not know this, because this is one of the forgotten issues and many of you are wondering what I am talking about. Well let me show you.

The symbol is this;

Ustashian_U_with_coat.png

It stands for Ustase. For more information, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usta%C5%A1e

That is the reason it sent chills down my spine. Then I was extraordinarily surprised that they were even allowed to put this on the grave. Considering Canada and my country (Yugoslavia) were fighting against the Axis in WW2, these graves (in my view) simply give the finger to all the allies.

So I started finding out how prevalent this is. Check this out: http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/?p=914

To give u a better glimpse, here

It is amazing that this is going on, sure there are some people, but this is HUGE. Didn't these people learn ANYTHING from history? You can claim its a "free country" but that doesnt give u the right to do whatever you want, especially spread hate.

This opened my eyes this weekend that I felt I just had to share it.

no point, i think its allowed because nobody really knows what it is and there is probably less than 20 million people in the world that actually know it.

That's probably exactly the reason. Best common example is Spike Milligan's grave, where he couldn't write "I told you I was ill" on it, but had to have it in Latin, as people wouldn't be able to read it.

Most of these people don't know what are they actually "following". They just do it because they are noticed in public. Hate? Very little... Ignorance? Oh yes, that's the problem.

And that link (http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/?p=914)

is just insulting my country and my people.

"as happened in Croatia?s 1990s war for independence. "

yeah, you were here? Bombs were falling on your house? Lost somebody in war maybe? Lived with somebody who had to kill someone (enemy on your territory defending your country) and then suffering from PTSP syndrome...

I'm not saying that there were no crimes.. But it's just like saying "allies were bad too, just remember Dresden" (google it if you don't know)

and I don't get it, the picture with text below "?For the Homeland, we are Ready.?

that's bad somehow? If that's true, I wouldn't be living in democracy now and I certainly wouldn't be writing this.

Just to let you know, 70% of the European Union is Socialist, even Canada is socialist. The government does not represent it, but the system does. Socialism doesnt mean you are strictly "communist" in any way. A socialist country can be a "capitalist" country as well, its just defined by the services and benefits that it provides to the citizens, such as free healthcare, schooling, dental, job security, etc. So the system is a mix between Capitalism and Communism

You don't think it should be "allowed"? Who are you to say that? I think such feelings are childish. Also, its not as if every single thing about the Nazis was evil. They were our enemies in WWII. Demonizing them is just propaganda and brainwashing.

People who remember life under the SS would disagree with you there but yes, the japanese committed far worse attrocities particularly in occupied territories. The fact that so many died in Nazi concentration camps and some after undergoing horrific experiments is the reason why they are considered evil. Plus this happened in Europe where we thought we were all civilised.

I agree, the atrocities were instigated by the leadership. the ordinary infatrymen, airmen and sailors were the exact same as the allies and serving their country.

None of the communist countries that have ever been in existence have been fair to their populace, there was always a secret police enforcing the state's will etc, and yet you still use the hammer and sickle in your signature. Hypocrisy much?

the majority of atrocities carried out by the Germans in WW2 were carried out explicitly by the SS, not the standard soldiers. You didn't get into the SS by accident, you knew what you were there for and fully endorsed what they were doing. You can't really compare this to being a general soldier following orders.

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
