I used Tandem to find patient and compatible language partners. They are adults working on learning my language while I learn theirs. So we take turns failing and being patient and kind with each other.
We use texting and translation apps as needed.

That’s what I have enjoyed. For example, I wanted a learn a little Catalan, so I made cards to learn enough to have a 5 minute conversation about topics we were both interested in.
Because the cards were personalized, it helped me to stay motivated.
I was scared to move the cloud for this reason. I was used to running to the server room and the KVM if things went south. If that was frozen, usually unplugging the server physically from the switch would get it calm down.
Now Amazon supports a direct console interface like KVM and you can virtually unplug virtual servers from their virtual servers too.
I started to DBAN (wipe) my internal drive once instead of an attached drive. That was the last time I ran DBAN on a machine with any drives of value plugged in.
I was once paid in bitcoin. It was like 1 bitcoin worth about $20. There was nothing to spend it on. I lost track of it. Now that coin would be worth about $100,000. Crazy.
Yes. I used to use Knoppix. It was cutting edge for the time. Similar in concept to immutable distros today that allow you have some mutable data storage.
This program may save the city money from dealing with fewer fires caused by shoddy batteries and wiring.
I had a friend who was an old country doctor who lost his everyday-carry tracheotomy knife that way.
For that matter, Xorg didn’t handle this either, DEs or WMs did.
What’s an example of a place with conflicting names in different countries that handled differently?
