See, the thing with "puta/puto" is that it literally means "whore", but it's used to empathize cursings just like "fucking" is used in english. We're even misusing it by putting it before verbs, imitating it's use in english.

I think the Polish word 'kurwa' is coincidentally similar.

So it means "Pretend you have to go use the toilet and leave us"? I like it!

One of the top-rated replies so far is an Asian who expresses they are offended, so that can't be right.

I'm not active in the community these days but I might as well through some suggestions in the mix:

• splash (like a splash of paint)
• face
• tweek
• dec (like decorate, or decked out) or deq

Fortunately our law

Whose law?

Which jurisdiction applies?

I don't think that's an effective way to guess where someone lives, it just suggests whether they learned the American spelling or not.

Hello fellow resource, uh i mean human.

I, for one, haven't had to look at laptop manufacturers for nearly a decade because my Thinkpad is still running Linux without a problem.

Aside from political reasons (which are valid!), what makes those manufacturers worth choosing over a Thinkpad?

Lemmy has had a huge bias towards seize-the-means-of-production socialism from day 1, which is very important in understanding why it's different from other reddit clones, and why it has unique features and anti-features. The political orientation is not incidental, it's vital, and I'm glad to see it hasn't completely died from the sudden influx of reddit-natives when the API thing happened.

I don't know how much bloat Mint adds

Not enough to make me think about it, it's not like I'm running a server or fighting for storage space. But if the thought of Flatpaks is enough to frighten, then it could be a problem.
