  • 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.

  • I just rewatched today and turns out I had already seen it. I got the impression through the whole film that this was a remake from an older movie? Is that possible? Nevertheless, I remember now why I loved this one so much! The story and everything is just awesome :) I'm always trying to find new Sci fi movies that I didn't watch already, it's kind of hard right now, so feel free to leave here any other recommendations you might have!

  • I'm always surprised about this ideas. I imagine this happening when the marketing intern comes up with it and somehow it climbs the ladder to a point where the person in charge says "let's do this". Amazing.
