    Fun fact! You can use KDE Connect even on Windows, macOS and Android.

    Useful to transfer stuff between my devices, or to use my phone as a remote control when I’m watching a movie on the couch!!

    (and I’m pretty sure that, on linux, you don’t need plasma to use it)






  • According to Wikipedia (may it live forever!):

    Joe Shmoe (also spelled Joe Schmoe and Joe Schmo; for which Joe Blow is sometimes substituted), meaning “Joe Anybody”, or no one in particular, is a commonly used fictional name in American English. Adding a “Shm” to the beginning of a word is meant to diminish, negate, or dismiss an argument (for instance, “Rain, shmain, we’ve got a game to play”). It can also indicate that the speaker is being ironic or sarcastic.

    This process was adapted in English from the use of the “schm” prefix in Yiddish to dismiss something; as in, “sale, schmale” (thus denying that the sale is worthwhile).

    While “schmo” (“schmoo”, “schmoe”) is thought by some linguists to be a clipping of Yiddish שמאָק “schmuck”,[25] that derivation is disputed.[26] The earliest known use of the phrase is the 1940s.[27]



  • Italians have a tendency to hate/compare themselve to the French.

    For example: Italy scores very badly in some rankings. The first thing an Italian would do is to check if France is higher or lower than Italy. If it’s lower, they’d say “at least we beat the french”. If it’s higher they’d say “damn we even scored worse than France… terrible”.

    But I don’t think people actually hate france or the french. it’s more like a meme I think!

    I’m italian and I don’t hate nor love the French

    Poor girl… Genetics did the old “fuck you in particular” to her :(

    I knew a guy who was allergic to a protein that is found in most vegetables, except a few. He had the most boring diet ever otherwise he would have died.

    I… let’s just say I’m a bit more grateful that I’m not allergic to everything.
