Testing the waters.

My first contact with computers in school was with a dialect (?) of LOGO that used commands based on Spanish. GD (giraderecha) instead of RT (right) or AV (avanza) instead of FD (forward).

Absolute minus nipples.

yt-dlp can download from several other sites, including porn ones.

Probably every single European bridge called "Devil's Bridge" has a story about how he was tricked into making it in one single night and then denied his prize because

  • they made a rooster sing before dawn because the contract specified that as the deadline
  • they made an animal cross the bridge first because the first soul was to be taken per contract
  • they bully him into giving it up with some divine intercession.

Question about style: wouldn't it be better to refer to her as her speaking about her pre-op life, even if she was fulfilling a male social role? Or the column's choice of pronouns is better?

It's a reference to a must-read classic.

OMG I just learned that there are also bik, kazh, and gutch.

Do you know of anything similar for non-US residents?

That's an actually interesting read, thank you.

I'm guessing "torrent".

I don't want to answer a specific user about the name connotations but, isn't the load of a word dependant of the intention? My friends and I call each other whores. And conversely one can use "woman" as a very badly loaded vocative.

There is some correlation I guess, but I generaly agree. Not all homophobes are secretly gay but those who are, guess what, wouldn't be if it weren't for the systemic homophobia.

It rubs me the wrong way because it appears in the comments everytime a homophobic crime happens. Yeah, he must be secretly gay. Might be, might be not, but meanwhile we have already closed the case as an internal problem. Just queers killing/abusing/assaulting each other.

Those are philosophies more than software. There are open and proprietary apps for e.g. Bullet Journaling, but you can do it with pen and paper too.

For some reason I had to use homebrew and it made me discover FOSS and the terminal. I started switching to GIMP, Scribus and others on Mac and ended up jumping to Linux.

For me The Name of the Rose is a real masterpiece. I enjoyed The Prague Cemetery as much as Foucault's Pendulum but I'd personally put Baudolino before those two.

Edit: this was a reply for @ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz, for some reason I keep pressing the wrong reply arrow on the Voyager app.

If you like the command line, it can help you a lot in organising your library. You can pass it queries to list songs, or bulk edit attributes such as title, artist, language, genre etc; you can tell it to automatically put your files in folders named after some of those attributes...

I'm not familiar with what @florge@feddit.uk says, I gess it's probably something you can do with beet plugins.

Same in Spain: mucha mierda.

Counterpoint: dictators that died in their beds because of course they couldn't be prosecuted under their own regime and have them undergo fair trial. Bonus points if their victims are still alive so they can get some closure. Spain's Franco comes to mind.

Monarch?

Ah, shit, I liked nim :(

If you start by assuming people will think you are not really interested in understanding.

Thanks for the list!

Öffi (transport) shows up under the podcasts heading.

We also use the article for personal names, might as well be a cat or dog.

I use https://monitor.mozilla.org

Edit. Oh, you mean the actual list.

I didn't, and I was looking for something similar, thanks!

I guess they use the word with the "user of the commons" sense.

Work: EndeavourOS + xfce

Leisure: EndeavourOS + dwm

You have (normally) 4 fingers with 3 phalanxes each, plus a fifth one (the thumb) to point at each one of those phalanxes.

Nice, thanks!

But frankly no idea.
