    hey I just wanted to share that I moved to a small, remote-ish village in Greece about a year ago (born & raised in Athens, a “big” city for our standards, the biggest in Greece) and it’s quite close to that.

    It’s been amazing although I miss ordering food online and maybe the occasional bar/coffee with friends.

    It’s almost inside a forest and 15’ drive from both mountain and amazing beaches

    Thank you for listening, I honestly hope that everyone has the choice to do the same <3




  • in greek (also gender for every noun, chair is female, dog is male and washing machine is “neutral”) it’s weird when someone uses the wrong gender. mostly non-natives mix them up

    borrowed words are mostly neutral like μπουζί (spark plug) or ντουζ (shower)

    as to what’s english missing I’d say complexity. Learning english and just being able to throw “the” behind any inanimate object is amazing. Also learning the genders that differ from your own language (learning french for example where a cat I think is male but in greek it’s female) is even more difficult

    yeap steam is the best example of a service i’d very happily pay - I’ve paid LOTS to them and just last month, I downloaded “have a nice death” for yuzu, played 30", loved it and insta bought it on steam. It was 25 euros but having my saves forever and being able to single click install & play is something that I value more.

    you don’t get to get my money AND fuck me, pick one (netflix, youtube, etc.)





  • huh, you’re right! I’m trained on a different kind of code. In C# in particular, which I use mostly to do sneaky stuff (patch/inject runtime code to, um, “fix” it) and when I see a project that it’s too clean it smells

    I also see python code (I code regular stuff in it) that could be written much more cleanly using monkey-patching
