In Taiwan they color the doors or just put a man/woman sign on the door. They will still use mandarin but it’s easy for people like me to figure it out.
They also get bonus points for being extremely handicapped friendly with their bathrooms. Better than a lot of places I’ve used in the US as far as privacy and accessibility are concerned.
They also label the outside stall doors with western and eastern style toilet signs so you can pick the one you want without peeking into every stall like a weirdo.
I hate “dumb pot head” jokes. Some of the smartest electrical engineers I’ve ever worked with all smoke copious amounts of weed. One of them says he does math better when he is stoned. I didn’t believe him until we starting flinging random math problems at him after a dab hit. I do not question his authority on the subject any longer.
I get it but I picked Mint not only for my recommendation to new users but the platform I advocate the most for on my YouTube channel. For anyone who isn’t computer savvy there isn’t a more straightforward and easy to use distro. If we want to grow the Linux community we have to be open to users with extremely limited knowledge regarding computing in general.
This does mean hand holding people through a setup even if there is a guide available. That’s my goal with my channel. To spread FOSS awareness and to show people how easy it is to make the switch to an overall better computer experience.
The smartphone era peaked in the 2010’s and its just the same garbage repackaged into a shiny new box. I miss innovation. Now all we get are phones with non removable batteries and no headphone jack.
I just want to exist for awhile. No demands, no stress, no desire for food or water, no life or death. Just exist for awhile in my own little universe devoid of time.
I’m sure it doesn’t work that way and I’d get bored of it eventually but I wonder what it would be like to have that level of freedom, if only for a few moments.
