You got me! It was my inner french that seeped into my english 😄

1. France (born in it)
2. Germany: (grandparents live next door on the border. I have great memories of tasty sausages and cool public playgrounds from my youth)
3. Germany: (again) as an exchange student in middle school. I still have a seering memory that I didn’t even know what my home region name was in German (Lorraine = Löthringen)
4. Luxemburg: dad was a smoker, cigarettes were cheap there, end of story?
5. UK: went three time, in middle school, high school and with family. Best time was in high school when I boarded at this Elvis double’s. We always listened to great music and he made pancakes EVERY morning ❤️
6. Denmark: exchange student in high school. It’s a beatiful country with great history. Too bad that my pen pal/exchange student and I were both timid :[
7. Catalogna, Spain: with friends. Lasting memory is that I took some pleasure swimming again there. Wasn’t my thing since PE teacher said to my face I could’nt swim… 😬

Looking back, I’m quite privileged 😅

It’s not online but at my usual bar I often get into arguments with a monarchist guy and a free-market/deregulation dude. They often tell me they’ll someday manage to make me “take the red pill”. It’s kind of annoying for them to disregard my views like that. That’s why I don’t actively try to change theirs.

That’s so cool! Now I’m ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases. 😅

You’ve got a few episodes of Love Death and Robots that really have that twilight Zone feel (and some are set in space!). That’s also the case for the pacman episode of Secret Level. This one gave me chills down my spine. 😅

Yeah… they’re already in a bad spot. But one can always dig oneself into a deeper hole.

The US won’t annex Greenland, that would basically make a pariah of them on the international scene. Like Russia there would be economic sanctions, trade deals would be broken, american assets abroad would be seized and this could include american military bases. So yeah, most likely the US governmint is gonna keep acting like a childish bully trying to drive a wedge between Greenland and Denmark. And maybe between every european nations…

Nerdwriter once made a video about how Passengers could have been a horror/thriller (and a better movie) if it had been told through the point of view of Jennifer Lawrence instead of Chris Pratt’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksxu-yeWcU

Most laptops will be more or less fully compatible with linux I think. Though a few niche features like finger print or key card readers might be a hassle to get working. To me, the most important thing is the keyboard since some manufacturers forgo the end of/start of line buttons, for instance.

Well, think of WHO as the 'least bad source of information", not the absolute truth provider. To get closer to the truth, you’d need to do a bit of journalist work: do a background check on the scientists involved (what have they published? Is their work respected by their peers? Have they been approached by lobbies?) and compare different sources (for instance, look at what the Robert Koch Institut in Germany and the Institut Pasteur in France have to say). But, to do that you might need to speak several languages, but above all, you would need a lot of time for research. So checking the most reliable source is generally the practical course of action for most people.

Like mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius, at 77, in Leipzig?

You should take everything you hear on the internet with a grain of salt (including here). You should really trust the guidelines of your country’s health ministry or the WHO. Then again, the WHO has said some crazy shit in the past…

I’m not completely up to speed with the core principles of Arch, but I think it revolves around KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). Meaning that Arch doesn’t hold your hand with nice GUIs. Instead, it tries to make the command line interface as easy to understand and use as possible. So if you run into a problem, you’re more likely to understand how to fix it, or at least what the root cause is. Which is not a given when you’re used to distros with more abstraction like Ubuntu. Then again, this design concept is not for everyone.

The install guide is not 50 pages-long, common!

Wait, you can host a website on a raspberry pi !? But is it really cheaper than shared hosting, for instance? And even then, quality-wise, it cannot be that good, can it?

The “wait for the bar filling up” should be a documented addiction in WHO standards. 😅

I would rather go looking in a bar or a club. It’s a bit warmer there.
