You are definitely not alone, my friend.

Born in Portugal, but due to some traumatic events and childhood traumas, I don’t like living there. And just don’t fit in with their personality and lifestyle.

I live in the UK for 10 years now and honestly I like it here, and feel much better here than my home country.

Try having some local friends and reflect how you can integrate more. It doesn’t need to be a a big change. Just small changes.

Funny enough, there is a Portuguese singer that sings: “… I am well where I am not …”

I guess it’s the case for me, you and many people.

Colin McRae Rally 2.0 for the PlayStation.

I wanted a PlayStation so much but simply didn’t have the money. I was saving for it.

But bought the game so I could go to my friend’s house and play it on his PlayStation.

If you read my very first comment on this, I didn’t even talked about deterrence.

I mentioned the consequences that if someone (attacked or attacker) uses a nuclear weapon.

The actual nasty effects, like radiation.

I don’t care about deterrence at this point. I care about people. People that will die if this is carried out.

Sure if someone says “I have nuclear weapons so you will obey me.”, of course others will also have nuclear weapons so they don’t get bullied.

But my point is way past that.

But I am asking to the people doing the attacking, but also asking to anyone who has and is capable of launching a nuclear weapon.

I’m not judging or disregarding who has nukes as form of deterrence, but the “technical” consequences of a nuke.

We learnt about Hiroshima and Chernobyl (although Chernobyl was a nuclear accident and not a launch).

I mean the consequences of actually using the nukes…

I understand having nukes as a deterrent, but think about the consequences of an actual launch, in either side.

We know who always pay the death price, and they are not the ones in power.

I don’t get why I’m being downvoted when pointing out the bad consequences of a nuclear strike, in fact, I don’t care. My point still stands.

[–] jdr8@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago (8 children)

Ok, I get it.

And what about the consequences?

Have they thought about that?

[–] jdr8@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (10 children)

Am I missing something here?

How nuclear weapons can be a safe path, or a matter of survival?

Do these so called “leaders” have in mind the catastrophic effects of launching nuclear missiles?

All they want to have nuclear weapons so they can bully their neighbours or enemies, until someone launches a nuclear attack and then everyone retaliates.

But they have any idea about the after effects? Isn’t Chernobyl a hard lesson for these people?

Seriously, the world is being run by selfish lunatics with too much power in their hands.

I would never guess that a winning lottery ticket would come as ram sticks, but here we are.

What you mean sharing data? Like a database? Or files?

I use Hetzner, from Germany. They are good and relatively affordable. But they have increased the prices recently.

You also have Scaleway, from France, also good.

It depends what you want to achieve.

Portugal used to have a distro called Caixa Mágica (Magic Box), that was mainly used for kids in school, usually in dual boot with Windows. This used to be the way kids would have access to the Linux ecosystem for the first time.

Also some government branches also used it as alternative to Windows, I believe.

But since Caixa Mágica was a government venture, they made it proprietary, so it’s not widely available to download.

Also, I have no idea if this distro still receives any updates and improvements.

Some bit of history, certainly.
