I was thinking North Macedonia or something, but then I remembered that the post referenced pounds

It’s also the biggest language (in terms of native speakers) in the EU. Not that it’s anywhere close to a majority…

I use opensuse (tumbleweed and slowroll) because I just wanted to try it out a few years back and it mostly just works.

If I were to reinstall today, I’d probably use fedora again, since it’s much easier to use things like Waydroid.

Cars in cities.

You don’t realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.

The value of the stock (which is outrageously overvalued) is solely down to musk’s personality cult. So now that it’s been announced that he should be “leaving government and going back to his companies” it led to a stock jump, since his presence is the only reason that the stock is worth a lot in the first place.

The issue is that Musk often sounds convincing when he talks about things you don’t really know much about, and there are a LOT of investors who have a lot of money but don’t really know much about anything.

Germany is actually trending the other way. Modern Parlaments have more parties than they did in the past.

In general, US-based sites/companies are usually terrible with supporting multi-lingualism. It’s not really surprising I guess considering how monolingual most of the country/region is.

For years google maps has annoyed me, since I just wanted a good way to have German and English reviews not be translated, since both are common in my city and I speak both languages.

Somehow it randomly works sometimes and then suddenly will start translating them again. It’s very inconsistent.

I visited family/friends in the US recently (i’ve lived in europe for many years).

Everyone is super upset about the current state of things, angry at Trump etc.

However, they are also generally just convinced they need to wait out these four years and then everything can return to normal.

Just (like most places in Croatia) make sure not to go during peak season!

Yeah I have used opensuse for the past couple years (still do!) but while there is plenty to like, if I were to do a reinstall I would likely move back to Fedora.

Then again, I basically never use YaST, which I suppose is one of the main song points.

It’s literally not any different. Starlink is just a less-reliable broadband internet connection, it has nothing to do with WiFi

He always gets so hung up on MIT because of his uncle

For me, I like that it isn’t overcomplicated and just works. It being basic is a big pro to me.

I can see what you’re saying, but at this point Elon is the most powerful person in the US, and certainly more powerful than any politician (even Trump).

I don’t think everyone realizes how unbelievably, dangerously rich Elon is. The dude is a moron, but he has enough money to buy out all of our politicians many many times over.

I only have to use this occasionally, but on my android I use the app “Talkatone” to make free calls to phones. They have paid plans to keep your number, but I tend to just use new ones whenever one expires.

It might not suit your needs, but it’s worked pretty reliably for me for the past 10 years or so.

Wanting less/more immigration are both perfectly valid positions.

Immigration can provide opportunities to a country but can also cause issues and it’s undemocratic and dangerous to demonize either position on the issue.

There is no such thing as illegal immigrants.

I mean, I’m not saying that this isn’t a valid opinion, but it’s certainly not a majority opinion.

It’s almost certainly inclusive.

Not to mention, anyone who has worked in the US gets a SSN, not just citizens or current residents.

I know a bunch of people over here in europe who have them after working a few months/ years in the US.

It depends how you forward images. I assume they are referring to how many/most services (like whatsapp/discord/telegram etc) don’t just send the original file, but do some compression to save data. Do this a bunch of times and you end up with a photo that starts to show noticeable artifacts/pixellation.

That’s my take at least
