How me, still a Windows user then looked at fellow Windows users because i had planned installing Linux after 2 months.

No no no you get it wrong, the terrorist lgbt now resorts to destroing entire houses to push their agenda obviously.

What about people working at shell or nestlé, are they all bloody imperialists? many times people have no choice, after all these layoffs it will be so easy to replace you. The US goverment does so many unrelated things (although it's likely for these things to be cancelled in the future). Saying everyone is a nazi won’t help anyone.

If you want to have any meaningful impact don’t leave. Organize, unionize, if that’s impossible try to work as little as possible and with as little quality as possible, talk with your colleagues. That’s how you have any meaningful change.

No matter what you use you should contribute to OpenStreetmap. I have an app called Everydoor where you can add and update points of instrests (like shops, restaurants and anything else), it is really rewarding seeing how much you've improved your local area over the course of a couple of months (In my city the map is good but the POIs are really out of date)

Happy Degoogling!

I will forever support JPEGXL. AV1 is a good video codec, not that good for imgaes.

Google may have killed it on the web but it's slowly gaining support in other places where webp never had any

I put our good stuff on our side and your bad stuff on your side - Therefore we win

As an European I never understood what's wrong with Fahrenheit besides no one else using it. Unlike feet/miles/pounds there is no need to convert them to anything else so.. why?

Water freezing/boiling point being 0 and 100 is neat but nowhere near being fucked like American distance units

Fair point, thing is there just exists a better way of doing small ungrounded plugs like phone chargers, I honestly haven't used a British phone charger but from what I saw they seem pretty bulky compared to what I have

Virtually all systems protect again shortcircuit at the breaker lever. Japan mostly has no ground but a RCD/GFCI for the whole house.

Basically how this works is that it checks if all the current leaving on the live wire is also returning on the neutral wire. If the current returning on the neutral is less than the one leaving then a part of the current must have found another way to get to ground (through your body for example) and it breaks the circuit hopefully before any danger could happen.

Now this doesn't make ground useless, there are 2 different protection systems that work in different ways, and sometimes protect in different scenarios too, the RCD is also an active protection that can and fail, compared to ground wich is passive.

Having both is ALWAYS safer
