Under the provisions of El Lexhatx E.4, as no petition for a grant of citizenship has laid before the Secretary of State within the first sixty days of this prospective's examination period: with great regret, the immigration process for the prospective citizen is terminated.

Does anyone else here know any programming languages? A few months ago I tried to learn some python, I learned quite a bit but I'm still at the basics.

I personally think that k-pop is too overrated.

Well, I'm not sure I'd ever hate a song just because of its genre, but I certainly believe that it's overplayed!  It's crazy how popular it is.

I hate Golden because

• It's k-pop.
• It's overplayed in our local radio stations.

I personally have Windows 11 on my laptop, which effectively is my work machine, and Linux Mint on my desktop, which I largely use for gaming. I did run Linux-only for some time until August 2023, when I smashed my old laptop that was running Pop! OS. Since I had to urgently get back to work on the new laptop, I kept Windows 11 (with some debloating tweaks) and never replaced it since, mostly because of laziness and being afraid some work stuff won't run on Linux.

My application server runs Ubuntu Server and my NAS runs TrueNAS (which is either BSD or Debian, idk)


I am considering getting a Macbook at some point to get the most of both worlds on top of the excellent battery life and build quality.

Quote from: King Txec on Yesterday at 02:21:15 PMPerhaps if we want to fix an imbalance, MC's should run for their seats instead.

As S:reu Autófil has already pointed out, this is a topic I'm greatly invested in. I've been researching and developing different voting systems that fulfill the following criteria:

• People vote for candidates, not parties. I would prefer a completely party-less system but I'm open to compromise.
• Proportionality is preserved. I believe this is self-explanatory.
• MCs have the same or very similar voting strengths. The current practice in which some MCs have four or more times the voting power as others is something I'd really like to do away with if possible.

My current favourite is a form of Approval Voting (i.e. don't just vote for your one favourite, vote for all the ones you find acceptable), and I've even coded a tabulator for it as well. I plan to make a separate thread for it, explaining the system and showing some examples, in the near future once I'm less busy with schoolwork.

Hi Bråneu!!!

I can only speak Italian and English, though I've taken a short A1.2-level German course last semester, after dabbling with it on and off for years (not counting three years in middle school ages ago), and I've been surprised at how I can actually understand quite a bit of written and spoken stuff now. I'm really hoping there will be an A2.1-level course next semester; can't wait to get back to learning.

If I could learn whatever language I wanted without caring about whether it was particularly useful to me, I'd probably try with Dutch or Portuguese next.

Of course, I consider myself as a Talossan speaker as well, though I was better at it when I was actively developing L'Översteir, just through increased exposure.
