Spain is already a 1-party consent country, it is legal to record any conversation as long as you are part of it. However, it is not legal to publish them, but they can be used in a trial.

The problem are the vowels. Germanic languages are notorious for having a large number of vowels that may not even be consistent across dialects. Add the funky English spelling, and it is no wonder that English speakers will mangle Japanese

The Western world encompasses many more languages than English. My mother language is Spanish and we pronounce most Japanese names correctly. It helps that both languages have the same 5 vowels and a similar set of consonants.

It is sad. Many Western people idealize Japan, and you can see here many comments saying that they keep working because it is their passion, when in truth they need to work because their pensions are terrible. I'm pretty sure that the

I live in Japan and heard the same story from Japanese people, so sadly it seems not to be a myth. It is not super common either, but it is pretty sad that it happens at all.

At least in my culture, older people feel productive by focusing on their family and friends. I prefer that to working until you die, but to each their own.

Exactly. These people keep working at 80 because their pensions are shit, not because they enjoy it. Well, some of them do enjoy it because they don't have any hobby and don't know how to enjoy their retirements, they just know ho

They are not. Materials is an identifier, the name of a struct field, while "metal" is a string literal, the key of a dictionary.

I live in rural Japan (Aomori, Northern Honshu) and I see these cars daily. If they can survive the awful roads and weather here, I'm pretty sure that they can survive anywhere.

Yes, "molino" is just mill. Windmill would be "molino de viento" and watermill "molino de agua".

Actually the sound /ð/ exists in Spanish, but it is an allophone of /d/. For example, the word dedo is pronounced as /'deðo/. That means that for a native Spanish speaker it is very difficult to learn to s

GPUs have implemented tessellation shaders for a long time now, and they can be used to implement what you describe. The Xbox 360 already had them, but it was too slow at the time so not used much. If I'm not mistaken, later generation

The maximum jitter allowed by the IEEE specifications is 1.4 ns for 100-megabit Ethernet and 300 ps for Gigabit Ethernet. The bit time for a 48 kHz audio signal is ~20 000 ns. It is absolutely impossible that you can hear the Ethernet jitte

I'm Spanish and I get that feeling with Romanian. It sounds somewhat familiar, but I have no idea what is going on. Portuguese and Italian on the other hand are much closer, and if spoken slowly enough, somewhat understandable.

At my workplace I moved almost 30 computers from Gnome to KDE, because we were fed up with Gnome's "simplicity", and nobody has complaint anymore. Not a single bug in three years. Maybe you are just unlucky?

I have used KDE daily since I started with Linux 20 years ago. In fact, I'm typing this reply very from Plasma on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I haven't seen any of those bugs that you mention. Maybe your installation is somehow broken?
