  • The physical design was somewhat similar but if you look at old footage from cities you'll see that walking on the street was completely normal.

    There didn't yet exist this idea that we have to leave 80% of the street exclusively for cars.

  • In general, US-based sites/companies are usually terrible with supporting multi-lingualism. It's not really surprising I guess considering how monolingual most of the country/region is.

    For years google maps has annoyed me, since I just wanted a good way to have German and English reviews not be translated, since both are common in my city and I speak both languages.

    Somehow it randomly works sometimes and then suddenly will start translating them again. It's very inconsistent.

  • I visited family/friends in the US recently (i've lived in europe for many years).

    Everyone is super upset about the current state of things, angry at Trump etc.

    However, they are also generally just convinced they need to wait out these four years and then everything can return to normal.

  • I think he's just obsessed with controlling the arctic, since it's going to be ice-free soon (and thus incredibly important for global shipping)

    It's why his 3 main "targets" are Canada, Greenland, and Panama (for the canal)

  • Yeah I have used opensuse for the past couple years (still do!) but while there is plenty to like, if I were to do a reinstall I would likely move back to Fedora.

    Then again, I basically never use YaST, which I suppose is one of the main song points.

  • As a non-native working in German, the numbers are one of the trickiest parts.

    My jobs generally involve a lot of math and discussions of numbers, and I often struggle with swapping numbers around in my head. Especially because when you get to bigger numbers people often switch between (or use a combination of) listing individual digits left-to-right and saying multi-digit numbers.

    The though is when you occasionally notice natives mess it up!

  • I can see what you're saying, but at this point Elon is the most powerful person in the US, and certainly more powerful than any politician (even Trump).

    I don't think everyone realizes how unbelievably, dangerously rich Elon is. The dude is a moron, but he has enough money to buy out all of our politicians many many times over.

  • These are crazy popular in and around London, even among fairly 'normal' people.

    The housing crisis is just so bad that they are comparatively quite affordable (even once you include the long-term/ongoing costs).

  • I only have to use this occasionally, but on my android I use the app "Talkatone" to make free calls to phones. They have paid plans to keep your number, but I tend to just use new ones whenever one expires.

    It might not suit your needs, but it's worked pretty reliably for me for the past 10 years or so.

  • Wanting less/more immigration are both perfectly valid positions.

    Immigration can provide opportunities to a country but can also cause issues and it's undemocratic and dangerous to demonize either position on the issue.

  • I do a lot of programming, which is generally easiest with the US layout (since most languages were designed using this) but I also type frequently in a couple other languages which have extra characters. For me it's easier to use than switching layouts.
