As someone from Belgium, it’s great to see this get international attention.

Oh yeah, I wouldn’t use Outlook myself lol, especially the newer version.

Preview is a fantastic pdf viewer and basic editor, which is what we used it for.

At my old job we used Macs for two reasons: Preview and Outlook on MacOS. I know it sounds silly to people who don’t have to work with email or pdf’s as much as I had to, but it was absolutely the right call for the work we had to do.

Also, depending on your use case it’s crazy how much worse Outlook is on Windows. Local indexing is far worse on Windows, and trying to search a big mailbox brings the app to its knees.

I know someone who plays women’s rugby at a very high level, and apparently the teams she plays for are all gay as hell - like you’ll also often see in women’s football. If you’d want to get the lesbians out of those sports (which is ridiculous, of course), you better just stop organising it altogether.

I have a sneaking suspicion it isn’t much lol

Heh, we use velo as well. And yeah, we don’t really stigmatise dialects that much either, though depending on how much dialect you use people might find it unprofessional.

It’s kinda funny, I’m Flemish and a lot of French loan words (ambriage, merci, nondedju = nom de dieu to name a few) are mainly used in dialect, and therefore don’t make you sounds sophisticated or worldly at all.

Meh, as a native Dutch speaker auxiliary verbs feel really utilitarian to me, and not particularly fancy - like you said, that’s highly subjective.

As for cases, I didn’t say Latin or German had the most, but just that I think they’re fancy and that Latin has them while French doesn’t.

For one, Latin has more fancy rules than French. I guess the subjunctive is probably something English speakers might consider fancy, but Latin has that too. Latin has more times that are conjugations of the core verb (rather than needing auxiliary verbs), has grammatical cases (like German, but two more if you include vocative) and, idk, also just feels fancier in general.

I’ll admit it’s been years since I actually read any Latin and that I only have a surface level understanding of all languages mentioned except for French, but this post reads like it’s about the stereotypes of the countries rather than being about the languages themselves.

Frisian is an entirely different beast, and even speaking Dutch doesn’t help you that much to make sense of it.

There are a bunch of expressions in Dutch, some even overlapping with English (like all hands on deck/alle hens aan dek). I could think of five to ten off the top of my head, so I imagine there are a lot more that aren’t as obvious.

The creator of the video pointed out one good joke in the special, and sure enough - it’s about himself lol. So yeah, even when he manages to be funny on purpose he’s still the joke.

Right, I must’ve overlooked that. My bad.

You can easily use it with Nextcloud, to name one example. So yeah, it’s a good suggestion.

They’re different tools, just use them alongside each other.

The Waterlilies on display at the Orangerie is one of the best art installations I’ve ever seen.

+1 for starting out with Proxmox! I’m about to switch my main server over to it, and I wish I started out using it. I’ve played around with it for a while on a second server, and being able to use snapshots and Proxmox backups from the start would’ve saved me so much time.

I do think there is value in content dunking on others to draw people into leftism, but after a point that audience will move on to more constructive content.

I hope the guy can pivot to other, more positive, relatively surface level topics and videos, because he could definitely be an entry point into leftist (adjacent?) thought for a lot of people.

That’s what the revolution will not be televised has always meant though
