I speak Esperanto and I am quite active in the movement and write for the Esperanto Wikipedia. In 2011 I had quite a cool trip to an Esperanto Youth Congress in Kijiv. But it's hard to talk about it because most people see it as a failed project from the early 1900s, not as a modern subculture.

Absolutely. They will try to plug keyboards and screens into the neuralink chip.

A good way to get an impression about real america as an outsider is to follow smaller hobbyist YouTubers from middle sized towns. One guy from Michigan I follow has a remarkable boring life that's completely different from every American stereotype.

I know quite a few kids and early 20s who don't even own a PC or laptop. They own phones and a TV but think PCs are only for school and work.

Niche communities that took years to built up and that I can't find anywhere else. For example Esperanto speakers are quite active on Twitter. They also have their own Mastodon instance, but it is not the same. (I use both now)

Die Nazis haben die Konten vom alten Rentensystem leergeräumt. Nach dem Krieg gab es keine echte Alternative zu einem Umlagesystem, weil einfach kein Geld mehr in den Kassen war. Und es hat ja auch ziemlich lange ganz gut funktioniert. Nur Spätestens mit dem Pille-Knick in den 70ern hätte man anfangen müssen das System langsam umzubauen, es ist ja wirklich nicht so, als würden unsere heutigen Probleme überraschend kommen.

Not every atheist is a humanist or even pro science, so they definitely exist. For example some regions in East Germany have a high Atheist rate and a very right wing population.

The best aspect of this trend is that we finally can buy devices without glass screens again. Plastic screens are so much more durable, especially if you are clumsy like I am. The prie is still to high though.

A German Black rapper (Sam Deluxe) once said: "as a black person you can't really choose your political opinion freely, because one side only wants you out of the country." Many join the left because it means protection.

I think parts of hiphop culture fits quite well to a conservative worldview when it comes to money, masculinity and the role of women.

Haha true. But I only said it in the context of this picture.

Because it is a Unix system, so the Bash feels very similar and if you install homebrew you have a package manager with a very Linux like feel and a software catalog where most Linux command lines tool have a port for OS X. From a usability perspective OS X is Linux, but without permanent issues and reinstalls. (and I am saying this as a 12 year Linux User who only uses Macs for work)

Mac is Linux, but in a golden cage. Not sure if this exist as a picture.
