Last week my brother had to use my laptop and install Rstudio(for some University project) because his Mac was too old and slow. I was out of home so I had to instruct him through the phone and I could hear his awe while he explained how easy was to install the program. He told me laughing that he could see the pacman and started to cheer for it, this made my day.

The web is so fat nowadays that it makes Windows look slim.
When I first used Linux I loved Gnome for the intuitiveness and simplicity but I did not like the same thing you were saying. I guess it makes a good desktop for tablets lol.
alecsargent@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Multiliguists of Lemmy - When speaking Language A and using a word from Language B how do you decide which pronunciation to use?2·4 天前There are times in which pronouncing the wrong way can save you a lot of hassle.
In many poor countries speaking proper English is a dead giveaway that you have money, so you can obviously see why that is undesirable. Even when that is not the case English is so deep in every other language that people use English words as they see fit without knowing the language at all, so one has to pronounce it like they do for them to understand.
Last case is to “avoid correcting someone” because one does not want to make the other person feel bad, or simply want to avoid the “how is it pronounced” situation.
alecsargent@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Multiliguists of Lemmy - When speaking Language A and using a word from Language B how do you decide which pronunciation to use?1·4 天前Usually like the language of origin unless I’m around people that do not speak fluently or are not looking to learn.
For example, in Chile a lot of people mix English words in their day to day use and pronounce it incorrectly so I pronounce it the same way and go along with it.
I never pronounce words in my own language differently as I think its a missed opportunity on teaching someone a little bit. Which is also a thing I appreciate other people do to me as well.
Then a lot of time passes by when you encounter the song while shuffle mode is on and relive the song.

Sorry I forgot the names.
I just read your comment without realizing my keyboard’s autocorrect mistake and was super confused. lmao.
alecsargent@lemmy.zipto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice.1·7 天前The difference is that when one is practicing something one knows that “the result” can be achieved or improved.

Hugo’s documentation is like “if you know, you know” kind of thing. Once you understand its weird semantics and the templating system(which can be very confusing)you are golden.
Anyway, glad you joined this FOSS journey.
Yah, account switching in Thunder is very convenient.
