Thanks! Hope it’ll turn out fine

Aww thank you

I really hope China stops fucking around with Taiwan. (am Taiwanese)

a reboot on your computer only takes 3 seconds longer than a logout and login?! I don’t reboot often, but on my computer, during a startup from powered off state, even just getting the Grub menu to show up takes 3 seconds.

My laptop is 4 years old and I remember startup being much faster when it was newer though.

hey!! hi from 2026 !

You must have missed the part where OP mentioned raspberry bits in a chocolate bar.

Thank you!!

Hey can you give a better Spanish translation? I’m a beginner at learning Spanish and was reading the Spanish version in the picture and going “oh I see, so this is how you say this.”

My openSUSE works without issues on my ThinkPad, including sleep. Back when I used EndeavourOS on a 2015 MacBook Pro putting it to sleep caused various problems (don’t really remember what).

Going for purple to get the dog. I speak Mandarin, so if I put in the effort I could learn Cantonese really fast.

That’s illegal in most places? Never knew that! In Japan, a lot of toilets in stores have signs saying “Employees may use this toilet too. Thank you for your understanding.” I’ve always been baffled by these signs and considered them unnecessary because isn’t it normal for employees to go to the toilet too? I didn’t even know that this can be illegal in some countries.

Glad to hear it’s not a taboo! I had been always under the impression that Ryukyu was some sort of taboo word that was never to be mentioned of. I had somehow connected it with the once-Chinese influence over the Ryukyu Islands and thought it would anger locals or something haha.

It’s actually scary how quick they’re rising. I live in Japan, and I once heard them at a intersection nearby on a car giving a speech. I hated how they speak. They sounded like they were heavily appealing to the emotion and used a lot of sentence final particles like ne, in a tone that sounded half-aggressive and also… very conservative in a way. They were talking some shit about how Japanese people should come first and that we should “protect Japan”, as if there was some sort of foreign force trying to tear Japan down to pieces. What’s worse was that there were actually people cheering for them. I actually wanted to go downstairs to shout at them but I restrained myself from doing that. I still sort of regret not going there to shout at them.

Cool, so people there actually like the name Ryukyu? I used the word Ryukyu in a Japanese class one day but I got corrected by the teacher saying that Okinawa is the new name.

(I’m Taiwanese btw)

I read this the first time as “he didn’t try to influence electrons”

I’m a native speaker of Mandarin (Chinese), where there’s no rat/mouse distinction either. I know that in English they’re different so I do say rat for big ones and mouse for small ones in English, but otherwise they’re basically the same to me.

I would say that as long as you are worried about what’s going on and that you are consciously making choices that make the situation worse, that would already be a lot better than what the average person in a developed country is doing. Neither am I making all that much of an effort to stop it, but I would say every effort, however small, counts. You don’t have to be Greta Thunberg to make a difference. You don’t have to make a big difference - a small one is fine.

As I was writing this comment I also felt motivated by my own words lol. I should start acting more too. I might join protests calling for Israel to stop the genocide against Palestinians. I could also try floating problems like global warming or pollution during conversations with friends so that they know that people actually do care.

Found the lemmite in Japan! How’s it over there?

I love the idea of using a card, but I don’t enjoy having a company knowing everything I purchase
