Yes, we do.

"Il/lo/la/i/gli/le" instead of "the", the precise article is chosen taking in consideration gender and plurality. We even have elliptic forms with " l' ," for words starting with a vowel.

Then we have "un/uno/una" instead of "a". Again elliptic form "un' " for feminine words starting with a vowel.

Italian here 🤌

Is that an OCaml reference/joke?

I'm reading "So You Want to Be a Game Master" by Justin Alexander and "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson.

I also have "Needful Things" by Stephen King and "The Great Hunt" (The Wheel of Time book 2) by Robert Jordan sitting at roughly 50%, but they currently are in pause; unfortunately reading more than 2 books simultaneously is difficult if you also have to work.

They revoked the "English only" rule in August. Source.

I agree, I've always used sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade and flatpak update on Pop OS and never used the pop shop.

There's also another similar list written by Umberto Eco about the so called "Ur Fascism" ("perpetual fascism"); he basically identifies fascist-like characteristics which can be found even in governments that do not adhere to the old concept of "traditional" old-style fascism (which in Italy is forbidden by law).

Needless to say that his words sounded very topical during the last italian elections, dominated by the party "Brothers of Italy"; luckily this party has become more "moderate" after winning the elections, even though some aspects can still be "problematic".

I'm using PocketCasts and I paid a one-time fee before it became subscription based (but there's still a free tier), in order to be able to listen to podcast using the web app on PC. Thus I now have lifetime premium access.

I'm very satisfied with their service, I did not find any problems with both the Android app and the web app, moreover it has almost every feature I need, except voice to text conversion in order to be able to share slices of audio in text format (but there are dedicated apps for that).

Aren't voice and video calls (basically VoIP) what Turn (coturn) is supposed to support?

My first Internet connection was based on GPRS and I remember images taking ages to load and loading in chunks. Moreover the connection kept interfering with the surround audio system and sometimes I would hear noises similar to the dial up modems.

I also remember the first times I tried using eMule (is it still up and running?): I was searching for the video song "Elevation" by U2 but I was unaware of rule 34; you can imagine what I actually downloaded.

I'm using Tusky, I switched to it some months ago from the official Mastodon app; but I don't remember exactly the missing feature that forced me to switch ahahah

Anyway I am really liking Tusky, it looks modern, clean, fast and personally I did not find any relevant bugs in it.

I just started this series this year by picking up Going Postal, which I finished something like a month ago. I liked it a lot and as my "gateway drug" into the Discworld, I think I will always have good memories of it.

Pop_OS on both laptop and desktop, since it has integrated nvidia graphic drivers and handles them without too much hassle. Before switching to Pop_OS I used to use Fedora for many years.
