Look at Italian and you’ll be thankful that English verbs are so easy.
This is the conjugation of “to be” in Italian. You need to learn all those tenses also for “to have” and for 3 different categories of verbs called “-are”, “-ere”, “-ire” (almost 4, in reality, because many “-ere” verbs are irregular).

Another problem with French (that Italian and Spanish pretty much don’t have) is the pronunciation. They don’t have a 1-to-1 relation between letters and sounds.
But that’s also a problem with English.

Yes, I’m sorry. I meant it’s quicker because they don’t have to switch keyboard layout, not because they save keystrokes
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 13 hours ago:
I’m Italian and I feel that both Italian and Spanish are way more difficult to learn than English.
English doesn’t have genders, it has way less verb tenses, and you don’t need to conjugate every verb person in a different way for each tense!

Also Bulgarian, but I know some Bulgarians that just write with Latin letters because it’s quicker, given that they live in a Latin alphabet country.

I wonder if it’s actually safe or if it’s just a CIA honeypot.

I don’t know about how they’re good at detecting it.
Look up at the story of David Woodward spamming his own bio on all Wikipedia languages.

Wikipedia should start displaying a disclaimer banner that the person has been trying to edit the page

I think the Do Not Sell My Information applies to users that are living in California. So Google could just show it to them, and not to all the other users
- Comment on Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes 5 days ago:
I know, that was the best Affinity. But at least, Affinity 3 is free (for now).
- Comment on Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes 5 days ago:
As an alternative to Adobe, the Affinity suite also works well with Wine. And we can hope for a native version.
- Comment on FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link) 5 days ago:
Reddit didn’t invent deep thoughts, but that’s not how trademarks work.
- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 1 week ago:
I don’t agree. We’re not talking about a person or a charity. We’re talking about a VC-backed company. They can fuck off and die, and it’s not toxic – it’s just common sense.

But what about Amazon Glacier? That’s exactly what they do. Cheap storage on cold drives.
- Comment on Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data? 1 week ago:
But isn’t it available only for Windows/macOS?
- Comment on Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data? 1 week ago:
Really? Do you have any source on that?
If it’s true, I bet it’s only if they’re actually running without ever spinning down.
- Comment on Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data? 1 week ago:
Exactly, you can just redownload them later. But pay attention if you have rare Linux ISOs, maybe because of their quality or if they’re in a specific language.

MySQL has been the “default” choice for a long time for PHP programmers. I don’t know why.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 week ago:
The current version of macOS, Tahoe, is also atrocious. It’s completely unusable on a desktop, it feels like they want to make it work like an iPad.
For the better or worse, the only good OS is now Linux.

I wish they were as cheap as in Norway…
- Comment on This EV Was Already Cheap, Then Dacia Knocked Off Nearly $6,000 2 weeks ago:
I agree. You have to take a quick stop anyway to go to the toilet, relax your muscles, eating a snack. So you’d still do it, while your car is quickly charging.

Same in Italian. Giappone and nipponico.

And in Italian we call the country Germania but the inhabitants are called “tedeschi”

Also, “unlimited” contracts always have a clause where they can block you if you misuse the service or use way more than an acceptable quantity.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 2 weeks ago:
Pure water, maybe. But I’m pretty sure that if you just put water out of the tap, algæ will grow in it
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 2 weeks ago:
You better change that water every now and then though.

lol OnlyOffice is also an office app, so LibreOffice is not the only office.

I liked macOS but the Tahoe update with its new “liquid ass” interface is hideous.
