I’ve had much joy from using ‘windsurf’, the VSCode clone with the stupidest name.

I speak four languages at native level, because I can change languages mid sentence and you wouldn’t know which one is my actual origin language (hint: it’s two).

I’m more than fluent. Fluent just means you can speak in complete coherent sentences without hesitation. You can do this but still have a strong accent - like many of the Indian tech wizards, for instance.

Native, to me, means that it’s practically indistinguishable from a person that grew up in that country, and you can’t tell that I didn’t actually grow up in that country.

Yeah, so if I don’t see it coming, I’m not scared.

Also romanticised in the famous novel The Neverending Story.

What a stupid question. Just go visit it??

That sounds awfully complicated for home use.

Zero trust, but you have to use Amazon AWS, Cloudflare, and make your own Telegram bot? And have the domain itself managed by Cloudflare.

Sounds like a lot of trust right there… Would love to be proven wrong.

Barbarian planets are called meteors.

Reamur FTW!

You should worry about your writing skills. Try some punctuation, for starters.

Yup. They burn heavy bunker fuel - the sludge that is too bad to be used for anything else.

Considering the amount of shipping, it’s horrendous.

But - and there’s always another view - I don’t know how much energy you’d need to use to haul that much cargo by other means like rail and trucks. One container ship carries as much as a thousand trains could carry. Vessels are really, really large, which make them quite effective.

Yes, you are right of course. It’s a sad state of affairs.

It boggles my mind that people fall for these scams, and do so in such large numbers.

So much stupidity and/or so little tech literacy. Ow.

And it’s depressing that there are so many sleazy people out there doing all kinds of bad things in general. Shame.

Yes, it’s entirely possible to be married and still feel alone.

However, ranting about democrats and foreigners tells me this is not about being married or not. The guy has problems and worries that have nothing to do with marriage.

Still, I can somewhat relate. Living in another country since many years (because reasons), and I don’t feel at home. Happily married, with kids, all good. But I’m not home, y’know?

People here don’t need me; they all hang out with their childhood friends they’ve known forever. I’m the new guy, even after all these years. That makes me feel lonely. And it has nothing to do with being married.

Will existing devices continue to work “forever” or must we add them to the graveyard?

The apps of the three big European banks I have banked with were able to detect magisk and refused even when on the whitelist.

Didn’t work for me on a Samsung S6 or S10. Maybe I will try again some day but for now it’s not worth the risk of never being able to go back, thanks to the Samsung physical one-time fuse.

My next phone should be a Pixel with Graphene…

Oh right, I completely forgot about the separate device that you have to plug into your computer and then also plug your card into the deviceand then enter your pin. It’s almost as convenient as having the phone app!

Eupean banking apps refuse to launch on unlocked phones. And you need said banking apps as mandatory 2fa to log into your online banking system.

So in EU you gotta choose between banking and rooting.
