Next Christmas present for someone I know. Thanks!

Though decision. Lol

I also discovered a while ago the amazing arrival of pinneaples to Europe, back then they were so rare and expensive that there were companies providing rental services for pinneaples. Rich people would host a pinneaples party, to basically show it, and then to be returned to the company that rented it. Crazy pinneaple times indeed!

Found it. The Wicker man!

I’m located in Europe in a country with high values in terms of animal based food production. Digging a bit deeper into the issue, I learnt a lot about milk production, eggs, meat in general and that made me immediately change my consumer habits. Only supporting small local businesses that produce fairly, respectfully and consciously strictly what needs to be consumed. I am lucky to have access those producers directly, even when the prices are higher and the variety more limited, I am happy to consume in this way animal based products. It’s hard to do when you live on a big city and embedded in the processing food chain. Still I see this as a growing concern in the newer generation. And it gives me hope that the world is somehow changing for good!

I came to say they did him dirty with those pics lol

Reminds me of that movie with Christopher Lee, about a sorcery cult on an island. Can’t remember the name of it! Wonderful movie based on sorcery tales collected by the writers and Lee himself. :)

As soon as I saw the map, I thought how countries are not represented on a real size basis in the world map. A quick Internet search brought me to truesizeofcountries , a very cool project for anyone interested.

Til snake oil meaning. Thanks !

This story gets me the chills. Very sad.

I looking for a simple and very user friendly phone for my 74yo father in law. Would this be a good option?

A sweet interface like Sync for Lemmy and respectful content and engagement are the key to me.

All my bose devices pair like a charm. One of the uphills of choosing that brand.

After being a Debian and Ubuntu user for many years, im fairly satisfied with win 11. Once you get rid of all that bloatware and enhance some privacy settings. Q

Great comment. She effectively communicates in all those languages, which is impressive. Who cares about her pronunciation mistakes or her accent ! Still, your analysis is interesting to understand the roots of Latin languages and how subconsciously we tend to phonetically use our mother tongue phonetics when communicating using other romanic languages and dialects. It happens to me when speaking specially French or Italian that I cannot avoid but using the tonic syllable of my native language. I always say that, even is not a Latin/greek based language, I love how Swedish pronounce their English: in my experience, kind of trying to communicate efficiently and forgetting, as much as neutrally possible, about the accent. (To be said that later on I learnt that most Scandinavians also have a strong accent when speaking English). I guess that the question is if to be considered a proficient speaker of a specific language, do you need to loose all traits of a foreign accent?

AW man, my first choice back in the days was Debian. Seeing now your map made me remember the pain of learning along the way while solving nuclear bomb events and configurations that I had no idea even existed. Still, it was a great experience! Nowadays I just use win 11.

I go to Italy often just to eat real Italian food. I understand that for Italians, the hawainana pizza is an aberration, like many other things if not cooked as they traditionally do. And I respect it, because it’s a key part of their culture. Still, I have a right to eat and like whatever I want, so I also expect respect on that sense. Some people will do this and some others won’t. I think it’s a personal choice to decide respecting others opinions.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Turns out that it was an ad blocker issue colliding with filtering HTTPS. After disabling it and making some configurations, mozilla is up and running on my Android device. Today is a happy day!

It’s been years since I am trying to use Firefox on my Android phone but I always get the error “This website requires a secure connection” when surfing the Internet, even major websites. I have tried many times to understand why this keeps happening and it’s so frustrating that I always end up deleting the app. Can anyone help? I would love to use Firefox on my phone.

Things escalated quickly with Wendy! (edit Cindy!)
