Not everyone has, or keeps their desire for sexual activity

Seriously though, "mosca" means fly. So a mosquito is literally a small fly.

Ah yes, the cursed Germanic loop:

who (EN) translates to wie (NL)

wie (NL) sounds like wie (DE)

wie (DE) translates to hoe (NL)

hoe (NL) sounds like who (EN)

Here's the socially acceptable solution, even in public: you pick it with a handkerchief on your finger.

You weren't kidding!

Is this… Rayman?

One of the most renowned Belgian comic characters is Gaston Lagaffe. Its author, Franquin, has doodled some horny stuff with Gaston too, it's interesting.

Thanks! I added "some nebulae" to remove any misunderstanding

I didn't know the story, thanks a lot!

When we look at the sky, there is a line where there is way more stars than usual. This line goes all the way around the sky. This was called the milky way by the Greeks because it was like a road sparkled with milk drops. At some point, we deduced that we were in a group of stars arranged in a flat disk. Later, we realized that some weird space clouds (nebulae) were much further away than we thought and were actually other huge groups of stars like our own that we named galaxies, still after milk.

There are more details me course. Even along the line in the sky drawn by the milky way, there is one side where there is much more stars and dust than the other. We deduced that we were at the edge of the disk and the bright region was the center of our galaxy. Also, the amount of gas and dust that block certain types of light that teach us that our galaxy has arms.

The Walloon language! The historical and almost extinct language of the region I've been living in for some time but from which I don't really have ancestry (more from the other region of the country).

The language has a really bad reputation (it's supposedly rude, so different from city to city that it's useless to communicate, etc.) Almost nobody is left speaking it and the overwhelming majority thinks its good thing.

It's fascinating, there's a small group of people trying to standardize it. There's some drama because the other promoters of the language are academics who want to preserve the local varieties, the opposite to standardization.

That's exactly how it works right now with VDI. I'm using one at work.

If it's the input the problem, I use KDE connect to use my phone as a remote control. You can use the gyroscope in your phone to point to the screen like a Wii controller.

I've not used it yet, but I plan to try photoprism at some point.

E: ah, just saw your edit about self host, sorry.

Yeah but if you scratch a little bit the surface, the comparison falls quickly. Okay, magnetism has two signs. Why not gravity ? Why does it attract and not repel? Okay, magnetism is carried by photons. What carries gravity?

Are the US and EU late, or is it a deliberate business decision from EV car manufacturers to aim for bigger and luxury cars because they make more profit?

I haven't tried Scrinever. What follows is about trying to convert people to Linux, you can safely ignore the comment if you're not interested.

If the will doesn't come from him, he will certainly look for things he doesn't like and that will confort him in staying on Windows.

I'd say keep him informed and let him make his decisions with the information he has.

The GPT part is correct

Chat is written like "cat" but is pronounced like in english. The animal is pronounced like "shah".

Sometimes, the contents of contracts are illegal even when they are signed. It's apparently not the case here according to the Court, but the question can be worth to ask.
