Thank you! This really does point me in the right direction.
And as an aside, I absolutely love how welcoming the open source community is.

Do you also do historical reenactment or just sword fighting? I never personally got into the fighting side of things but the former has been one of my favourite hobbies for decades.
My personal favourites from Finnish.
"Ei ole kaikki muumit Muumilaaksossa" "Not having all the Moomins in Moomin Valley" Used for people who are either stupid or lack sanity. There are other variants of this and Moomin one is not older than a couple of decades.
I find our version of Grammar Nazi pretty great. We call them comma fuckers.
"Ei voi kauhalla ottaa jos on lusikalla annettu" "You can't take with a ladle if it was given with a spoon". This refers also to a lack of something, usually a lack of intelligence or sense.
Would have suggested it but Calcifer is written with C in Howl's Moving Castle.
Hmm. I have been moving towards more and more open source. But my ability to code is very limited. Is there any kind of guide on how to get involved when you can't code?
I played being a bureaucrat. I became woke moralist. Well, kind of.
They do, and funnily in Finnish, they are called hyttynen while one diminutive is -nen. The question is what the fuck is hytty.
They played too much WoW.
No, but seriously, calling people whatever they like is OK. As another Millenial, at least in my corner, we all had some kind of nicks and they came to real life. I have a lot of friends who still go by their nicknames from decades ago. I also changed my own name a little and am currently almost exclusively known by that name. I don't go around telling people why but my name is connected to trauma quite strongly. I can even go further in my family history to have an example of how people have been doing that always. My grandma was called by two names. She moved to the city and decided to go by another name. I was a little bit confused as a kid when my great-aunt called and asked her by a name I had never heard before. I might understand not calling someone something offensive, but Kalcifer is quite mild. In the end, it doesn't hurt anyone and is a tool for building your identity.
There was very successful vilification of unions from my understanding as well. I find the discussion about unions with Americans really interesting as from my Finnish perspective they are the cornerstone of workers' rights.
They did. They are required to be on all phones sold in EU 2027.
This goes with being mRNA free that some anti-vaccine people tout around. They did their research well enough not to figure out what mRNA is.
At least in Europe, a lot of people find sparring partners through historical reenactment groups. I encourage you to join reenactments for other reasons too.
