After being a Debian and Ubuntu user for many years, im fairly satisfied with win 11. Once you get rid of all that bloatware and enhance some privacy settings. Q

Great comment. She effectively communicates in all those languages, which is impressive. Who cares about her pronunciation mistakes or her accent ! Still, your analysis is interesting to understand the roots of Latin languages and how subconsciously we tend to phonetically use our mother tongue phonetics when communicating using other romanic languages and dialects. It happens to me when speaking specially French or Italian that I cannot avoid but using the tonic syllable of my native language. I always say that, even is not a Latin/greek based language, I love how Swedish pronounce their English: in my experience, kind of trying to communicate efficiently and forgetting, as much as neutrally possible, about the accent. (To be said that later on I learnt that most Scandinavians also have a strong accent when speaking English). I guess that the question is if to be considered a proficient speaker of a specific language, do you need to loose all traits of a foreign accent?

AW man, my first choice back in the days was Debian. Seeing now your map made me remember the pain of learning along the way while solving nuclear bomb events and configurations that I had no idea even existed. Still, it was a great experience! Nowadays I just use win 11.

I had that purple n64 controller with a special transparent edition also of Zelda the Ocarina of time. What a time to be alive it was!

I’m always surprised about this ideas. I imagine this happening when the marketing intern comes up with it and somehow it climbs the ladder to a point where the person in charge says “let’s do this”. Amazing.

on a sidenote: are you able to submit posts from the app? Mine says “Coming soon”

Same here. I think that the only thing that I can do now to add something of value is to participate in good and respectful discussions while sharing content that I genuinely like. A grain of salt ends up adding to a mountain they say.

TIL about the Litmus test!

Max Schrems Costeja case in Spain,

Both set up the ground for the Right to be Forgotten to be born, and also the right of the data subject to request deletion from indexed sites. Such as Google. And this directly in my residence country (EU Based since this falls under the GDPR scope) but basically Mr Costeja was granted the right to pose a formal petition to the Spanish Google office (not finally considered a sucursal) and not directed to the Irish headquarters, as Google argued. So yes, we have a right to be forgotten… Just try and Excercise it towards Google and you might end up in front of the EU Comission :S. Talk about evil corps…

I try to ever forget that under the GDPR scope andanu other privacy legislations, CCPA included, location data (GPS obtained) = Personal Data. The only exception lies only when this data can be disaggregated from any other informations that could link to locate a subject, therefore it wouldn’t be personal but simple data, or if it is fully anonymised. That also raises the obligation to obtain a valid consent and inform the data subject. Maybe it’s better to stick to a non connected to the Internet car… Call me old schooled :S

I had the chance to spend some days inside the amazon jungle and it was very concerning how I could hear non stop tree cutting, almost 24/7. Local indigenous tribes told me they could not confront the workers because they might get shot. Finally good news about the Amazon deforestation!

Just migrated from reddit and writing from Sync. So happy that Sync is back!
