French here. I admit I used to eat rice with ketchup when I was a kid. I'm disgusted with myself thinking about it now.

Where the fuck is John Wick when you need him ...

The US healthcare system has provided me with lots of entertainment value via John Oliver's Last Week Tonight. I like it for that

For real though, despite being a software engineer who could find a very lucrative job in the US in a heartbeat, there's no way in hell I'll ever even remotely consider it, and the healthcare system is one of the reasons.

I write Scala code for a living. Scala may not be the best language at anything but it's extremely good at everything. It's extremely versatile and easy to fall in love with. It's really unopinionated and has a number of sub-ecosystems that are super cool but it makes it hard for newcomers to navigate it. It attracts passionate and clever people, but as a result comes with a (rightful) reputation of being hard/expensive to hire for.

Its curse is that it's the most niche mainstream language, or the most mainstream niche language.

I'm obsessively punctual, but my file system is like the chair... and I'm a software engineer ...

Yup. Thing is, touch less interaction is very awkward, anything with any kind of feedback is much better (including touchscreen). It never stood a chance

Been using ecosia as my main search engine for 4 years. I still use Google maps, Gmail, Calendar, Maps, YouTube/Music, mostly because too I'm lazy to switch to other products.

But yeah, fuck them.
