@guigirl Well, uh, Finnish is one of the languages I want to learn if I ever get to them through the ones me lazybone is stuck at.
But hey, almost every language has some weirdness like that; look at English with its 42 zillion tenses & phrasal verbs & whatnot, yet still it’s easy [enough].I ‘want’ to learn a lot of languages and just for the fun of knowing them (i.e. I’m not likely to use them), so I guess it’s more like ‘huh, cool’ than long-time deep interest.

@potmeklecbohdan said in Friday poll - Which Linux distro do you have?:
a certain someone [linuxer forever, windozer for never]
If I'm not mistaken, that certain someone was a long time Windows user before turning into a Linux zealot…
(Maybe their time on Windows explains why they turned so ecstatically to Linux…) -
@hlehyaric Who wasn’t? The important part of the story is after trying linux.
-
@potmeklecbohdan The important part of the story is get rid of Windows.

There is a certain user who edits their posts so many times so often that I need to a) keep the topic open, or b) come back after 15+ minutes since their last post, to keep my calm & not get mad from the notifications. How do you handle this situation?
Or simply, @npro, could you please read your posts before sending them, and if you happen to edit your posts, make all the changes in a single edit?

Speaking of Windows, I was just reading on Slashdot that Microsoft's attempt to add ads for Teams to the Windows 11 preview was causing it to crash.
First of all, why should MS have ads in an OS that you pay to have on your system - or are the ads only in the free update version? Second, they need to work on quality control. Not that this is news to anyone here, but it needed to be said.

Phew, that rules me out; i'm an extremely uncertain user.
You’re out of luck, coz you were signed up automatically. Well, almost. I had chosen the winner before the contest even started.

Hey, I'm a winner? I won? Against all odds i somehow emerged victorious?
-
@guigirl Have you read the post? It clearly states the winner.

There's a new conspiracy theory that says all the posts on the internet are made by bots.
I presume they actually mean social media, as most of the content here appears human. There's a cute reply towards the end of the summary there too.

So we're doing an excellent job!

@hlehyaric Didn't someone say that a forum mod some weeks/months ago now let us flag individual posters?
Yes, you can flag users as well & it's not a mod, it's a forum feature. Anyway, you can't target a topic title (btw, I'm not sure it's necessary except for this very case…).
-
@guigirl Exactly.

@guigirl I am forced to object to this post. The Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't wear socks - indeed, doesn't technically have feet.
-
I will admit to having feet, but I'm not the one you need to beg for mercy. Though if She thinks of it at all She might find it funny.
-
Can I flag the entire US media?
-
@guigirl All the islands already claimed, even that new one off Japan? Or they just too close -- you want to be a million miles away while Earth is just under 8000?
-
Uhh, what’s happened, @pafflick? Has this been going on for a long time in the background, or is it a recent change?
-
@potmeklecbohdan It's very recent.
There's also one new face joining, as well as one old one... 
-
@pafflick I can’t figure out who they are, though I have seen RealMat0s [who still seems to use the moderator badge] posting something in the Vivaldi Blog category a moment ago.
Anyway, that’s great news, innit? Congrats
