It’s an accurate translation. Mikrobitti is a generic computer magazine (with a long history) so it could either be that the author is not very familiar with Linux cli or it might also be that they were trying to put it in layman’s terms.

I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s from a time when spoons were rarer and everyone had their own spoon. So, to discard your spoon meant you’re done with eating for good.

Finnish ones (some sayings here too):

• “Ski into a spruce!” -> Get lost!
• “So the forest answers as one calls into it” -> what comes around goes around
• “If you reach for the spruce you’ll fall into the juniper” -> don’t bite more than you can chew
• “to be like hit on the head with a piece of wood” -> to be baffled
• “it went into the forest” -> something failed
• “to have own cow in the ditch” -> to have their own hidden agenda behind a request or actions
• “to throw the spoon into the corner” -> to die

Huh? The things people do for that wage will certainly rise in price due to inflation. Interest on bank accounts usually correlates with inflation, house prices go up with inflation (if you own one, it’s value usually does too)… It’s usually only stuff that wears out quickly and/or electronics (stuff that has steep inherent value deprecation) that do not grow in value due to inflation.

Well, there are programming languages that are not based on English (like BQN) In reality though the vast majority of the documentation, books, online discussions etc. are in English so I’d say it is at least hugely beneficial to know English.

Yup, they never figured me out either… Ads are annoying and stupid and thinking about how much resources are poured into them and how much everyone’s time is wasted makes me angry.

I wanted physical books out of something that was only available as PDFs. So instead of going the sensible route I bought a color laser printer, learnt how to bind books, bought tools and materials, made a simple book binding press and made my own books.

Choir … how would you spell it? Quier?

Carry ice picks (more like ice awls) with you when you travel on ice. If you fall through ice turn back to the direction you came from and start breaking the ice with your elbows (no use trying to get up as long as the ice is so brittle you can easily break it), then drag yourself up and start rolling away from the hole and trace your steps back. Also, try to get rid of the wet clothes as soon as you can.

How to dress for -30C weather. How to get out if you fall through ice into water.

It looks a bit rough but it’s very good. Had to quit it though because it took over my life.

Siistiä! Menestystä opintoihisi! (Google will translate the latter to ‘good luck with your studies’ which isn’t exactly right. We do not wish luck as much as English-speaking people do, menestys = success)

Yeah, guessed they might be Finnish because of the username but that didn’t turn out to be the case =)

Guessed based on the username but sometimes it misses =) Anyway, glad you got here :)

Tervetuloa :)

Well, I drink decaf coffee anyway so not a problem =)

After getting used to Invidious I think their UI is better than Youtube’s. Views are deterministic, I don’t get random videos. Subscriptions work like I think they should.

On the other hand OpenStreetMap seems to provide things that Google Maps doesn’t like a lot of paths and trails, including inclination & difficulty info.

I would like to add that if you’re eyeing switching to Linux in the future you may want to check before buying whether something supports Linux going forward. Also, you might want to make some noise on the forums so that companies understand that there’s a growing demand for Linux support. I’ve been making music on Linux for quite a while but I’ve always bought DAWs (like Reaper, Bitwig, Renoise) and VSTs (U-He, ToneLib, etc) that already support Linux… trying to migrate a workflow from Windows to Linux could be pretty hard.

That quote means that actual facts are dismissed as leftist ideas by many americans (where Colbert lives).
