Shakira speaking 7 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, French, Italian, Arabic)
  • Great comment. She effectively communicates in all those languages, which is impressive. Who cares about her pronunciation mistakes or her accent ! Still, your analysis is interesting to understand the roots of Latin languages and how subconsciously we tend to phonetically use our mother tongue phonetics when communicating using other romanic languages and dialects. It happens to me when speaking specially French or Italian that I cannot avoid but using the tonic syllable of my native language. I always say that, even is not a Latin/greek based language, I love how Swedish pronounce their English: in my experience, kind of trying to communicate efficiently and forgetting, as much as neutrally possible, about the accent. (To be said that later on I learnt that most Scandinavians also have a strong accent when speaking English). I guess that the question is if to be considered a proficient speaker of a specific language, do you need to loose all traits of a foreign accent?

  • Windows 11 vs Ubuntu vs Fedora 39 vs Arch Linux - Speed Test!
  • AW man, my first choice back in the days was Debian. Seeing now your map made me remember the pain of learning along the way while solving nuclear bomb events and configurations that I had no idea even existed. Still, it was a great experience! Nowadays I just use win 11.

  • TIL a Canadian from Greece took an American version of an Italian dish and added tropical fruit to it and called it a Hawaiian pizza.
  • I go to Italy often just to eat real Italian food. I understand that for Italians, the hawainana pizza is an aberration, like many other things if not cooked as they traditionally do. And I respect it, because it's a key part of their culture. Still, I have a right to eat and like whatever I want, so I also expect respect on that sense. Some people will do this and some others won't. I think it's a personal choice to decide respecting others opinions.

  • Firefox 121.0.1 released
  • Thanks for all the suggestions. Turns out that it was an ad blocker issue colliding with filtering HTTPS. After disabling it and making some configurations, mozilla is up and running on my Android device. Today is a happy day!

  • Firefox 121.0.1 released
  • It's been years since I am trying to use Firefox on my Android phone but I always get the error "This website requires a secure connection" when surfing the Internet, even major websites. I have tried many times to understand why this keeps happening and it's so frustrating that I always end up deleting the app. Can anyone help? I would love to use Firefox on my phone.

  • Anon notices the "grass is always greener" trope in movies
  • I my experience I am seeing how the trend goes on the other direction and more and more people around me actively choose to leave the city and go to rural areas. I think that this tends to happens around the mid 30s,!not exclusively, and might be also related to an specific location. I am central Europe based. It's just my personal experience tough.

  • What are some of your favorite smaller Sci-Fi Horror/psychological thriller stories/films?
  • I just rewatched today and turns out I had already seen it. I got the impression through the whole film that this was a remake from an older movie? Is that possible? Nevertheless, I remember now why I loved this one so much! The story and everything is just awesome :) I'm always trying to find new Sci fi movies that I didn't watch already, it's kind of hard right now, so feel free to leave here any other recommendations you might have!

  • My humble and quick to prepare everyday breakfast

    Scrambled eggs, avocado, muesli, some season vegetales some nice juice and a coffee (mandatory to prepare on a Mocca) would make the trick. Simple and easy is best!

    I visited the Canton Suisse at Martinique Island

    I had nk idea this existed and was very surprised. It's on a mountain area kind of similar to Le Valais... Founded in the early 1900 by some Suisse migrants. Crazy story!

    My 10yo best friend. Getting full white hair slowly!

    Meet Soweto, a 72kg Khanghal (anatolian sheppard). Been with him since day one of his life. What a wonderful friend I have the chance to have!

    Quadraphonic audio on my Bose 700

    I just learnt about quadraphonic audio format after downloading an album coded as such and I am wondering if my bose 700 headphones are equipped to actually make a difference with this format? Would it be better to stick to FLAC? What is the best option / format to actually enjoy the best sound quality? I have a turntable from the 90s connected to a cheap preamp that I bought on Amazon and that has not a headphone output... I read that there's nothing like vynil audio in terms of quality and detail. While I get a new one with the headphone exit, any ideas on what would be the best digital audio format to enjoy ony headphones?
