  • I would in principle agree with you, however not about English, mainly because it is now a language of international discourse of any kind, and it thus no longer belongs to the local speakers.

    It now has a role Latin had until just a few centuries ago, and extrapolating a bit into the future from that example, will remain quite stable while your dialect, American, Australian, Indian, Jamaican, will change until it becomes another language entirely, no longer mutually intelligible with the other dialects.

    If you want to participate in the international dialog however, you will have to learn International, which is now English including the differentiation of the theiy’res, even if your native language is English. Your grand-grandchildren may have to learn English like an Italian in 1800 had to learn Latin if he wanted to join the international discourse.

    It’s super interesting to watch this process unfold right now!







  • I share the same sentiment. Grabbed a laptop last week to be able to wfh somewhere else and entertain myself too, and to try if I couldn’t get gaming to work on Linux, and had that feeling of curiosity back about what is new and how everything works. The feeling was lost sometime after Windows 7, and replaced with a slight feeling of dread about where everything got misplaced in this newest shiniest iteration of Windows.

    Couldn’t be happier with fiddling with distros!








  • Sind, wie so viele vegane Produkte, sowieso schon zu teuer gewesen. Wenn die veganen Ersatzprodukte weiter 2, 3 oder auch mal 5 mal so teuer sind, bleiben sie nur ein Trend, und lässt die vielen Menschen, die preisbewusst einkaufen müssen oder wollen, außen vor. Das geht alles völlig in die falsche Richtung!

    Aber es gibt ja Konkurrenz. Die Lidl Eigenmarke ist genauso. Das Problem bei Lidl ist wie immer, ob sie es auch da haben, weil Lidl immer diese wahnsinnigen gemischten Kollies bestellt, bei denen dann immer die Sachen wochenlang liegen bleiben, die keiner haben will. Nachdem die nach 5 Wochen abgelaufen sind, gibt es auch mal für ein paar Tage Pfirsich oder Kirsche, hurra. Denkst, Du bist in der DDR.

    Edit: blättere auch gerade Prospekte, Penny Eigenmarke 1,11/500g.
