  • English isn’t my first language, but can you even fix the prepositions to the verbs like that. Wouldn’t you have to define your frame of reference? I’d say it shifts with your perspective.

    Example: I’m in Homeyland and there are migrants, who are emigrating from the Faraway Islands and immigrating to Homeyland.

    When I’m in the Faraway Islands, I’d say the same people are emigrating to Homeyland. While Homeylanders coming here are immigrating from Homeyland.












  • What do you suggest to use instead?

    PDF has some significant advantages, like fixed formatting and embedded fonts; things you don’t get with docs, docsx or even odt. It’s not meant for files that you have to edit much, but it’s perfectly suitable as a pre-print format and for archiving stuff.

    I too hate that it’s so inherently tied to Adobe (or other costly software), but I still use it regularly, despite using Linux and FOSS exclusively for years now.



  • MSG isn’t just enhancing umami, it tastes umami by itself, because the umami taste is triggered by receptors on the tongue that react to some amino acids, one of them being the glutamate in Mono-Sodium-Glutamate. The salty part comes from the sodium, which has its own receptors as well.

    This stuff is literally made for our taste buds.


  • Hard agree. I always struggled when using Discover, as a Beginner. Don’t know if I could make it work now as a more experienced user, Because I don’t use it and don’t have a need to. Learning how to use ‘pacman -S $pkg_name’ was super simple and is very fast. Sure I don’t have a nice GUI, that lets me browse what apps are there to be installed, but I have a webbrowser for that.
