Sorry, are you talking about Poland? Then yes, Poland is part of NATO and there is US presence there, I’m not sure about other countries having a presence there. I thought you meant Ukraine, which is not part of the NATO.

Over the past 20 (?) years I’ve tried KDE quite some times and I never could get into it for one reason: the cursor feels sluggish. Is this a me problem?

No.

2 adults in a consensual relationship. Nothing to see here, move along.

Sounds more like a threat

Like I said; the Baltic states.

Unlikely. Baltic states though? Poland? Finland?

Really cool. I’m gonna go for it. Thanks again mein Freund!

That’s incredibly helpful, thank you! I think I’m going to give it a go. Do you have any process for adding your photos?

My worry with this is that it might be super resource heavy and unstable. That’s not based on thorough investigation though. I’ve been eyeing it for my 80gb photo library. How does it work for you?

I just did, it’s really good!

I second this, have been using this as a daily driver on my laptop and PC, and I’m really enjoying it. Seems very very stable.

How? I was looking for this (although not very thoroughly)

No need to be sorry. I didn’t realise, in Dutch I don’t think that connotation stuck for the equivalent, meid. That simply means girl.

I tend to agree, but I do get where the other viewpoint comes from. I’m from a country where I don’t believe this is a major point of contention, as long as we’re respectful with each other I don’t think people feel the need to make a big deal out of this, but I’m aware I’m speaking from a bubble here, others may disagree.

I do work in an international company with many anglophones from the UK and USA, and it’s a much bigger point there, to the point certain expressions are banned, e.g. addressing a group as guys. I speculate that it’s a bit of a cultural thing, and a language thing. As others mention, a lot of languages are Ill suited to naturally use gender neutrality. English is quite malleable that way.

Oh sorry I went out and commented the same thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, Mädchen (meaning “girl” in German) is a diminutive. It comes from Magd (an old word for “maid” or “young woman”) with the -chen suffix, which is a common diminutive in German.

The -chen suffix makes words grammatically neuter, which is why Mädchen takes das instead of die, even though it refers to a female person.

I’m not German but the same applies to the Dutch word for girl, and we’ve the same rule for neutral. By the way, ‘magd’ in Dutch means virgin (maagd to be precise), which sounds incredibly inappropriate to be going around calling someone; little virgin (/¯ ಠ_ಠ)/¯
