But you should be able to set the locale separately from language. You can easily do that on any Unix/Linux system. In your locale.conf, set LANG to your language and all other LC_* variables to your preferred locale.

Systems that do not allow this are badly designed. For a lot of multilingual people, locale and preferred language are independent.

It might happen here, which is why Dachau would be the more apt comparison in my opinion.

But right now, it’s certainly not anything like Auschwitz. The Japanese Internment Camps you had some decades ago weren’t Auschwitzes either.

Dachau? No, it never became an extermination camp. Hell, I visited the memorial site and know about its history to some extent (though certainly far less than actual historians).

It killed tens of thousands still, especially in the later parts of WW2. But its purpose was still to concentrate enemies of the state and not to exterminate them.

I mean, yeah? An extermination camps is arguably several magnitudes worse than a concentration camp, isn’t it?

That doesn’t detract from both being horrific.

Hyperbole and analogies are just two conflicting figures of speech. The overall message is weakened than if either is used by itself.

Auschwitz was an extermination camp, not just a concentration camp though.

For now, it’s much more like Alligator Dachau. That was the nazi’s first and flagship concentration camp used for propaganda.

Germany.

8 patients per room is really the upper legal limit (as anything more is considered intolerable) and exceedingly rare but having at least one other patient in the same room is the default. Even if single rooms are available, hospitals prefer to put you into rooms with other people as they offer single patient rooms for ~120€/day and dual patient rooms for ~70€/day.

When I was in the hospital for a pretty severe gastrointestinal infection as a child, I had one bed neighbor with a severe cough which I obviously caught after the stay. It wasn’t as severe but pretty annoying nonetheless.

TVs generally exist for free but usually only one per room so you’ll have to negotiate with your roommates. WiFi, if existant, definitely costs money and will have early 2000’s speed.

In general, hospital stays have roughly the same standard as in the 70’s or 80’s as there hasn’t been noteworthy investment ever since. Anything considered a luxury and unnecessary for treatment will likely not be provided for free.

Solitude? Damn, are your hospitals made out of gold as well?

If you’re unlucky over here you get up to 7 other patiens in the same, unventilated room. Including patients who have air-transmittable infections because why not?

Air conditioning doesn’t exist in hospitals either by the way. That’s a luxury hospitals aren’t obligated to (and as such never) provide. Enjoy dehydrating in 30°C+ rooms.

I’d much rather just stay in solitude in my home for a week.

paru is written in Rust, yay in Go.

That’s pretty much the only difference. Since Rust is objectively superior to Go (I have never worked with either language so my opinion is as unbiased as can be) paru is clearly better.

Humans regularly kill large animals as well.

Though I’m unsure how much the presence of mines and absence of humans would affect animal deaths.

How about 31415?

How do you install kindness and affection? They’re not on the AUR:

[[email protected] ~]$ paru -S kindness affection
:: Resolving dependencies...
error: could not find all required packages:
    kindness (target)
    affection (target)

I have, somehow, found love packaged though. But it’s not true love. It’s LÖVE (a 2d game engine) spelled with an ASCII typeset so I’m pretty sure I have installed the wrong dependency.

Diese Tat ist sicherlich nicht dem rechtsextremistischen Spektrum zuzuordnen.

Schließlich kann man ja aus Positionen der Mitte der Gesellschaft unmöglich politischen Extremismus folgern.

Over here in Germany encryption is most definitely illegal. This includes encoded messages only the intended recipient could decode.

It will make things significantly better in the short term.

Their entire infrastructure would immediately crumble. Nothing could be re-used. All successor parties would be banned automatically.

This means basically all their high ranking members are permanently banned from joining or collaborating with any future political party.

I don’t think I need to elaborate why this would set far right organizations back significantly.

The RSS feed of Webtoons is junk. It purposely cuts off the images halfway.

Try to find it - you won’t succeed.

Therefore it doesn’t exist.

To be fair, the atom names are literally just German. Except sunstuff, that’s Helium in German too. Not too difficult to parse imo but I may be biased.

But it’s not like I want all French influence be gone. Rather, for common things it feels… artificial(?) to use some fancy Latin word when it just refers to something so basic it shouldn’t have a Latin word outside of scientific contexts to begin with.

It’s like a science fiction novel where the author insists on naming the Earth Terra, the Moon Luna and the Sun Sol. It feels needlessly artificial and somewhat clinical.

Same. Immerhin nur frostige 38°C laut meinem Wetterdienst hier.

Is that James Grime from Numberphile?

Wasn’t English’s French influence mostly over by this point? The Norman conquest added a bunch of French vocabulary but by the 1700’s, England was a stable colonial power.

And for very frequently used terms - like anatomical terms - the English root remained mostly intact and loanwords weren’t used. Arm, nose, shoulder, knee, elbow etc. are not French in origin.

I suspect it could be remnant of nobility separating itself from the common people. By only ever referring to anything with its Latin term, you can distinguish the wealthy, highly-educated from the poorer, lesser-educated people. After all, if you spoke Latin and/or Greek those terms make a lot of intuitive sense.
