Labour is expensive

Which is 1.1855 liter per meter.

I didn't think about that, but English isn't my first language and there are studies out there that say that you think different in languages that aren't your mothertongue. That being said, my English meetings with my British and my Eastern European colleagues still feel a lot more normal than meetings with American colleagues

Dealing with American colleagues feels really weird sometimes. They're either very happy or really not amused.

O, I see

Is it just me, or is it really difficult to know the order to read the panels of a comic in when they change so much in size? Feels very chaotic to me

They were nice enough to give us enough unexploded ordnance for farmers in West-Vlaanderen to keep digging up more than a century later!

You could take a look at Kodi for more of a "smart TV" vibe. I'm currently running it on a RPi 4 using the LibreELEC OS (very minimal Debian based distro), and I'm really happy with it. I'm mostly using it to watch YouTube, our country's national TV and my locally stored series and movies.

L'Académie française disagrees

Oberton I think

Kind of concerned that fire is one of them

It's disturbing how common this mindset already is.

I remember not compiling the root filesystem in the kernel on my first Gentoo install, and being surprised it couldn't mount root at boot.

I switched to sway from i3 about 5 years ago. It's easier to configure (no /etc/X11 nonsense) and it fixed my screen tearing issue. I'm not much of a gamer, so can't comment on that. Supertuxkart and browser games work fine.

It's great. As a Gentoo user I still use it quite often. It helps that Arch has a far larger userbase, so its wiki is a lot bigger. (It also helps the Arch wiki didn't lose everything 15-ish years ago due to a server hard drive failure)

Same on i3 on a dual graphic Nvidia/Intel laptop. For me switching to sway (the Wayland alternative for i3) fixed it. This is on a laptop from 2013 tho, so it could be different on your hardware.

It's crazy to see how the city centre of Ghent (Belgium) changed when they banned non-emergency cars from people not living/working in the centre. It went from some huge carparks with a few people walking between them to large squares filled with people enjoying the city and people who live here.

Every day I bike besides the Coupure channel to the train station and in the city I work in, I walk to the office besides the Dender river. Good infrastructure is basically keeping my mental health afloat.

It's 2 days, 1 hour, 42 minutes and 34.9 seconds in case you're wondering

Jesus, that place looks super dangerous

Our software is officially supported on Windows and Linux. For some reason our chief product uses a Mac, so we support that unofficially. It can be quite a hassle to keep our code compatible on those platforms and Build Bot often gets angry when I open a pull request, but boy is it nice to be able to use whatever OS I like for development!
