  • If any of the languages you know is spoken in more than one region (ex: European vs Brazilian Portuguese), what version of the language do you speak?

    Tangentially related, The Office fans jokingly asking if I'd ever been to "Scranton" and then being surprised to learn it was a real place.

  • Can the PNW join you, and thence the EU? You can give up Alberta if it makes it any easier?

  • Same thing happens to me where I'll start emulating local accents. The result is no one can accurately guess where I'm from, even people from my own country. The general answer is "northern Europe" but not from the country of whomever is guessing. But it's the same reason… something is up with my accent, but no one is able to place it.

  • Grew up NEPA, went to school on the main line. Moved away almost 20 years ago, but this brings me back.

  • Oh that's good to know. I took a look at notesnook a bit ago and immediately noped out when it appeared I'd have to get a subscription to do basic stuff.

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem insults Canadians in bizarre stunt at U.S. border

    Jump

  • This really is the worst timeline. We should be best friends and have that border that was barely guarded through the 90s. 😞

    We barely know. I think she's literally a puppy murderer.

  • I walked into Canada without any ID. Boarder guards asked "You American?" I answered yup and they waved me through.

  • Aw, Mandrake! I didn't know what I was doing back then and chose it because of the root. Stuck with it until Ubuntu came out a bit later.

  • Ex-believers, what made you quit your religion/cult?

    Jump

  • In college we had to take a certain number of bible classes. Senior year took one on the history of the old testament or something like that. Course compared the texts to older texts from nearby regions and it's all basically plagiarized. This was somehow supposed to bring us closer to god, but for me it did the obvious and was the straw that broke that particular camel's back.

  • I'm in a blue city in a blue state, though we have plenty of red. But we're where the proud boys and other majestically brain-dead champions of mediocrity love to come and cause trouble while the cops protect them. So yeah, it's all going to suck, and probably sooner than later 😮‍💨

  • Help me selfhosted, I'm in over my head!

    Jump

  • While I would be open to a trade, I'd be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I'd like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?

  • Huh, I'm also in the PNW. This could work out. I think it's a bit too much for my needs, and I really don't have the space for it. That said, I do want to learn how to use it, and get it up and running, etc. But after that I would definitely be looking to get something more practical. And quiet if it's as loud as people are saying.

  • Suggestions to switch a daily laptop to linux.

    Jump

  • I have Bazzite on my steam deck and Bluefin on my laptop and have been very happy with them. The atomic part is great for not messing things up as a noob, but if OP does decide to dual boot then these distros won't be the best choice as they don't play well with other distros.

  • Ugh that's unfortunate, because I do not have an out of the way place to put it. It didn't make any noise when I plugged it in, but I imagine that comes from the drives when I insert them
