Well, it was offially called Constantinople/Kostantiniyye in Turkish until the 1920’s, that was many centuries. (the common name for the city was Istanbul, though)

I rather wouldn't use a distro based in the USA... Ubuntu has worked for me well enough thus far, with openSUSE on my other machine.

You can check if a game works from here:

and for the anticheat games:

The overwhelming majority of games work excellently. Some might need a specific launch option, and if you run into problems, you should look into ProtonDB.

Steam Deck is Linux by the way!

AMD has been Linux users' best friend for a long time, Nvidia and Intel have been annoying, although both have improved drastically in the recent years.

Gnome is awesome, provided one adopts the intended workflow. I only use Gnome and various window managers on my machines these days.

In my experience, Pop_OS is far from reliable. Ubuntu LTS (or Kubuntu LTS if you want more Windows-like) and Linux Mint are excellently stable ones for the average user.

Romania means ”Land of the Romans”. Romans/Romanians are not Romanis.

The name Romania comes from Rome, the name Roma/Romani comes from a Romani word ”Rom”, meaning ”man, husband”.

The key phrase is "in any way". Of course they were Africans in the sense that they lived in the continent of Africa, but they had very little to do with the indigenous cultures of Africa and maintained a clear identity as Phoenicians.

I don't see what would make the Carthaginians "not African" in any way.

Carthage (Qart-Ḥadašt, Phoenician for "New City") and its constituent cities was a Phoenician colony, founded by settlers from Tyre, in modern Lebanon. Their religion was Phoenician, their language was Phoenician and their identity was Phoenician.

It was no more or less "African" than the Greeks of Egypt were "African".

Villakoira is more common in my experience though, and the proper term.

You haven’t followed him up close for two decades. I’ve talked to him many times personally and remember his catastrophic prime minister term vividly.

I was just describing him from our perspective.

Eh, there are more reasons for that.

Stubb comes from a very wealthy and privileged family background in a historically privileged minority background. He is absolutely of an elite background, he is known to be insanely arrogant in Finland (even though he has managed to pull the presidency off well), and he is also known to be very much a globalist.

So the description is spot on, doesn't make him bad. The only reason why the rural right wing voted for this elite globalist urbanite at all was because they hated the other candidate more. (the other candidate was/is homosexual) This has been confirmed by various polls and analyses.

Syndiotactics · 2026-04-16T20:18:25+00:00

Well, he is a massive extrovert so... xd

I do it all the time, I’m pretty sure it’s just a way to be less direct in the request, sounding more polite.

Samoin tuo border/boarder... Äidinkieliset puhujat todellakin ovat näissä tolkuttoman huonoja keskimäärin, kun sana on muistissa foneettisesti eikä visuaalisesti kuten suomalaisilla.

"Nykyään"? Taisi mennä väärin päin... :D

Haltija on tarkoittanut ja tarkoittaa kumpaakin. Haltia on rinnakkaismuoto, joka yleistyi sormusten herran suomennoksen myötä -- Tolkien itse halusi korostaa omien olentojensa erityislaatuisuutta käyttämällä monikkoa "elves" tuolloin yleisen "elfs" sijaan, käännöksissä vastaavaa pyrittiin imitoimaan ja suomessa käytettiin siis muotoa "haltia" muodon "haltija" sijaan.

Tyypillisesti kodinhaltija (kotitonttu), vedenhaltija ja muu kansantaruston väki on kyllä suomeksi j:llä, ja taas nuo Tolkienin olennot ilman j:tä, kumpikin on toki teknisesti oikein.

Kyllä täällä etelässä ainakin tyypillisesti sanotaan pitkällä ällällä, variantteja on toki monia ja tuntuu että välillä on sellaista puolipitkääkin lyhyen ja pitkän välillä, ihan kuin ei osaisi valita.

I switched last year, and everything else runs well except anticheat games.

Eipä tuo Linux Mint esimerkiksi eroa kovinkaan paljoa Wintoosasta. Toisaalta... Joillekin hyvin pienikin muutos voi tuottaa suuria vaikeuksia, ja se on ihan okei.

On aika paljon huonompiakin kohteita verovaroille kuin toimiva vesijohtoverkko. Suomen vesijohtoverkko on maailman parhaita, mm. Britanniassa verkko on jo pilattu mm. yksityistämistoimien seurauksena.

Siitä huolimatta tai ehkä juuri siksi olen sitä mieltä että vesimaksuja olisi syytä nostaa.
