  • France is a pretty weird example because most French people do call it France. But technically the country is République français, or the French Republic.

    But a better example would be Germany; it's natively called Deutschland and dozens of languages call it Allemagne or variants of that. Both Germany and Allemagne are historical names we haven't moved on from, even though the actual country has.

  • If you have the freezer space, a butcher will happily sell you a whole cow, butchered into a mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef to your specified quantities!

    Applies to cities with fishmongers as well, although it'd usually be restaurants buying whole tuna to serve fresh or in steaks rather than canned.

  • VSCode with the Vim plugin most of the time. Vim if I'm just editing something small and was already in a terminal.

    Every IDE worth trying has Vim mode or a plugin for it, you don't need to use actual Vim to benefit from it!

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Doesn't a stock Android installation come with several dozen apps? Do you expect to consent to each one individually?

    They could have baked this into the OS, not let you disable it, and not documented it. But instead it's modular, can be disabled in one tap, and documented.

  • It helps that their business model doesn't rely primarily on ads or user tracking, and instead relies on subscriptions from other news businesses. This obviously isn't perfect as they do serve some ads, and it requires those other businesses to exist and be profitable, but it's a helpful layer of insulation.

  • That's exactly the same case as Windows. The built-in photo/video players don't support them out of the box, but do if you install the free codec from the store, or you can install any 3rd party players you like.

    There are lots of great things about Linux, but out of the box support for licensed video codecs isn't magically better than Windows
