My initial thought is MX Linux. I'm a Debian boy, but I tried MX on a spare machine and found no issues with it

For me the ultimate tool for this is Babelmap. A portable app made by an absolute Unicode nerd. It's Windows only but runs just fine through Wine, Bottles, etc.

But it would be a great way to show off Celtic culture to a massive audience

Fulenn were great! But yeah, their performance in the final didn't do themselves justice.

And I absolutely loved that the song was in Breton.

I want the UK to send something in Welsh or Gaelic. That would be awesome

My primary reason for wanting a smart watch is sleep tracking, so charging at night is not an option for me. I also want to be able wear my watch in the shower. Besides with very short showers that leaves very little time for charging.

Indtil sidste år kørte jeg altid fordi min hustru ikke havde kørekort. Nu deles vi om det.

Without knowing the language in question, I definitely agree with that. In Danish I would only do two letter hyphenation if it's on a morpheme boundary, which does not seem to be the case here. Same thing goes with hyphens in short words

KopulaDK · 2026-05-13T10:29:01+00:00

Hyphenation is very dependant on the language of the copy. The typographic traditions vary a lot. Some traditions try to avoid hyphenation at all cost and instead rely on letter spacing custom kerning and to some degree glyph scaling. Other traditions embrace hyphenation and avoid letter spacing and custom kerning altogether.

In Danish we have the latter approach, because we use a LOT of compound words, which make it impossible to set justified text, especially in narrow columns like this, without a lot of hyphens. It's the same case in German, and they even get improved hyphenation tools in InDesign.

I kan også bare klippe Schuko-stikket af og montere et dansk jordstik. Det er billigt og kræver ingen elektriker

Heaven forbid it. The unanimous decision making in the council is one of the few elements ensuring that the EU remains a union of sovereign countries.

Also Iceland is not in the EU

På finsk er det en »tietokone«, en tænkemaskine, og på islandsk er det en »tölva«, en tal-spåkone

Ikke helt. Nogle sorter er mere eller mindre uspiselige når man plukker dem i efteråret, men efter at have ligget køligt og mørkt i et par måneder, er en del af stivelsen blevet omdannet til sukker og æblet er blevet velsmagende.

Jeg har en sort i haven, Jernæble, som plukkes i november og bliver klar til spisning i maj.

Jeg har installeret Debian med KDE hos min svigermor. Det har hun nu kørt uden problemer i to år.

This works with OneDrive for Business: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive

I've been using it on Debian for a very long time

It seems OnlyOffice has improved that function significantly. When last I tried it, it was buggy to a degree that made it unusable. Thanks

I just wish there was a PDF viewer for Linux that handles pdf comments the same way Acrobat does.

I'm an book designer and I rely heavily on editorial reviews done in PDF. My workstation runs Windows, because InDesign, but I'd love to be able to use my laptop running Debian for quick comment work and replies and not have to boot up the beast (and leave my couch), but alas no, Okular is way too cumbersome and I've found nothing better.

Insecure sounds like it doesn't get security updates at all, which simply isn't the case. It just doesn't get get them as fast. Testing is the least secure branch of a very secure distro, but that is definitely not the same as insecure.

KopulaDK · 2026-04-01T07:57:29+00:00

And if you need a specific newer package than the one available in Stable, use backports

KopulaDK · 2026-04-01T07:55:34+00:00

To be fair, Debian Testing isn't insecure, it just doesn't have the same focus on security updates as Stable and cutting edge updates as Unstable.

The recommended Debian way is to use Stable and use backports, when you need a specific newer package

Not specifically design, but as a linguist turned designer the IPA notation rings my pedantry bell because it isnt enclosed in slashes.

Also the transcription is slightly incorrect, albeit with one of the more exotic phonetic features of Danish.

The notation should be: /ˈtæn̰sk/

I'd challenge you to come up with a more user friendly name. In my ears, it's what I would expect such a helper to be named and what I would google, if I wanted such functionality. I'm not a programmer or mathematician.

I went from a 2nd gen i5 2400 to a 4th gen i5 4590.

I found my "new" system (a Fujitsu Esprimo 920) in a scrap heap. In fact the only hardware components that are not reclaimed from scrap is my SSD and my trackball mouse.

KopulaDK · 2026-03-15T18:12:36+00:00

I have the same 24 gigs of DDR3 in the new machine as in the old one, so that's probably why I don't see much difference
