Staunchly Peircean pragmaticist linguist, phonetician and semiotician. Does translation studies and comparative literature too when time allows. Politically far left, deal with it. Localizes FOSS (eg. KDE Plasma, Vivaldi browser, Handbrake media transcriber).
You wish it’d be that easy. Building a phone isn’t the difficult part; building an ecosystem around is a huge task.
Where I live, you are almost forced to own either an Android or an iPhone, otherwise it’s tough luck getting banking, secure net identification, way to interact with the government agencies, bus or train tickets, etc.
Being aware of stuff is a fault?!
“$4/gallon gas” is terrifying America?! It’s $9/gallon ATM in Finland (by quickly converting the funny American units) :D
It’s tRump. He probably has the codes written in a post-it note that’s attached to his bedroom TV frame.
Every gdn teacher in the world knows that, or at least should know. It’s next to impossible to create tests that would measure understanding, and actually using that kind of tests in real life would be so time-taking and slow that schools and universities would grind to a halt.
As notabot below says, homework (and exams) are for the student. The “measuring” aspect in them gives only a sign that the student should note and act on (and of course, the society being what it is, the “measures” are also used in other ways whether we like it or not).
Debian used to have quite old software before version 6.0 or so. Ever since then it’s been quite a good daily driver for workstations too.
This just came out. https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Hurd-In-2026
I wonder, when they get a grown-up president again, will they finally also begin to move to the 21st century?
How ’bout some actual chocolate? https://www.fazer.fi/tuotteet/tuotemerkit/fazerin-sininen/
I have to agree. Americans soiled themselves, and now expect the rest of the world to come clean them up. Sorry, you might do something yourself too.
Out of those you listed, LibreWolf and SwiftFox are not NounNoun: they are AdjectiveNoun.
…and being boring is only one of Europe’s strong points.
It supports 24h clocks all right and always has (I’ve used Plasma with SDDM for years and never have had issues with the clock!), but as you said in a different thread, it may have problems in separating the common locale from the time format.
You can’t really get a joke, can you?
Well, “inchic”, “football field-ic” or “large rock-ic” would be more appropriate than metric.
Well, I don’t know about Balkans, but at least for me, a half-liter beer of any kind takes 30–45 minutes. Stouts and porters are too thick to drink faster, ales too bitter etc. A light lager may be, but why bother?
There’s a easy rule. Allow ~ 45 min per beer and think how long the meeting will last. Most will actually not drink that much, but it’s good to have spare ones.
”Homicidal maniacs”? Do they need to be maniacs?
The figures only make sense in “first past the post” (or “winner takes it all”) systems.
Agreed — but from the point of view of a private person, it doesn’t much matter what epithet you need to prefix the word “problem”, it still remains a problem.
From the point of view of a potential phone manufacturer, it also means that whatever you do and no matter how great your product is, very, very few people are ever going to use it at all unless they can use it in whatever they need to do; and that means you will probably fail as a manufacturer.
