I think this is both easy on the sense that there are a lot of feasible options, and difficult in the sense of selecting the most suitable one for you. English alone opens up many places to you. But besides language, culture is a major factor. I remember a story about immigrants in Finland feeling excluded and had difficulties building social relationships. But in Finland, even the locals don’t have so many local friends. So, the way of life is just not suitable to many.

Other than that, try to see this not only as a negative thing, but also as an opportunity. Don’t just ask where you would do okay, but include questions like where you would feel comfortable.

Final thought: often the “most popular option” is not necessarily the best. In Europe, many countries that are not Germany or France are nice, sometimes the QoL is even higher. So, consider Austria besides Germany, for example.

Add to this that companies would prefer showing their ads to paying customers (who have some money to spend), not the free tier plebs

If anything, shouldn’t they be the evens?

Paperless is the shit. Look it up. Document mess solved, self hosted, the mobile app comes with a scanner and cropping functionality

Two friends of mine are in a similar age difference range. One of the happiest couples I know. She is the younger one and a very beautiful person, but it’s not a sugar daddy relationship (they both have basically the same job). I think she also initiated this and is even more deeply into it than him.

Hope that helps

Nah, my village just had the bin

This braindeadism would be so funny to watch if America wouldn’t drag everyone else down with them.

Sorry to tell you guys, but your only option in the foreseeable future is to vote for the democrats and pray they prove a tiny bit better. You have nothing else in your hands. Third party votes are political suicide. So is not voting. Even if the Dems are bad, they are not fascists (for now). Pray they don’t become fascists.

A full potato? Lol, when I was young I had nothing but a french fry, scavenged from a McDonald’s bin.

Great move in these times where RAM is cheap and widely available

I found this video helpful but it’s a few months old already:

Depending on your goals, you could try to find used components that are incompatible with windows 11 but still perhaps powerful enough as this guy explains:

I recently reached the stage where katakana are worse because you kind of have to find out what they are supposed to mean to get the intonation right. Sometimes it’s freaking impossible without looking it up, like with オードブル

And you consider Japanese Kanji easy (context of the post)? What I heard from Chinese friends is that it’s just a chaotic mess

I also told my wife about my itchy knees and she go lookin’ in a hot jacuzzi.

(best I could improvise… The jacuzzi is a bit off though)

German certainly has a steep learning curve in the beginning, but I would argue it gets easier if you’re an advanced learner. Most more complex words are just compositions of easier words, pronunciation makes sense, the complex grammar quirks are either not used in everyday life or irrelevant (nobody cares if your say der, die, or das for any noun that’s not Nutella).

English on the other hand is easy to start but the learning curve never flattens. To pronounce a word correctly you often have to know the specific word beforehand or you’re lost (like with read, thyme, zealot, advertisement, …). To understand a new word you often have to look it up because compositional nouns are less common. That makes many new cool words but is less accessible.

Japanese Kanji are complicated. Ask a Chinese person learning Japanese, they will give you a good rant. Or ask a Japanese person who has been living abroad for a few years, they often forget many Kanji and have to relearn them. Main reason imho is that a lot of this has grown organically and the world has changed a lot over the past centuries, so many things would be done differently today.

Hard to say without more context. I’d check the existing distributions and pick one that suits you. Their websites usually have lists with compatible devices.

PostmarketOS is interesting for tinkering, grapheneOS just works reliably. Everything else in between

It’s more likely that most people wouldn’t pass high school anymore

But I’m level 3 genius!

I haven’t heard of ads, but there was flattr which didn’t work out for some reason
