Iam even more happy to be using Linux 😎

I want to assume that you are not a heliophysicist 😬

And imagine telling someone that Sun is a star…

Because it is hard to put there Jesus. He, same as floppy, died to became a save icon. /s

Cool. For learning Esperanto there is a great site https://lernu.net/ and also Duolingo, and others. After some time came back and comment about your progress, I am interested in your story 😉

I suspect that both they are using Affinity as a gateway drug For Canva Pro, and are super happy about taking even more customers from Adobe.

This aged really well 😎

Aging is a botch! Once we will get great control over our anatomy. Not yet there.

Cool! Not libre, but it enables new category of people to comfortably transition to Linux. I can imagine the anger at Adobe 🤣

Heh, I am pretty deep embedded in the Esperanto community. I have started 18 years ago and during that time made a lot of friends, some enemies, some love partners (really, we talk together in Esperanto!). In fact, I have founded a nonprofit nongovernmental organisation that support volunteers to write better Wikipedia in Esperanto - and I love the work and it even pays me sometimes. And because of my activities, I have travel around the planet. I live in Europe, and once I have traveled in one month to Seoul, South Korea and Benin and Togo in Africa to Esperanto meetings. That was crazy! During that month I have fulfilled my 2 childhood dreams - to climb a bamboo and to eat a sugar cane ;-)

So, yeah, it enriched my life pretty drastically. I would say that the the biggest long term benefit that I get was wast widening of my horizons. The world became “smaller” for me / more of it became “my home” and I have become more “world citizen”. It may sound cheese but it feels great :-)

There are many local groups over the planet, some event practically every day, many Telegram groups with pretty active community. On Lemmy, there is mostly !esperanto@sopuli.xyz

Absolutely! The videos that helped me to understand English was podcast-like. I am a big fan of audiobooks and podcasts. Mostly to give some rest to my eyes, and to consume them while I am walking outside to protect my physical health.

I learnt it since I was 3. I was literally forced to do it instead of playing outside with my friends. And always out was hard…

Then I found the language Esperanto, that is supposed to be 10x easier to learn and use. I tried it and I can conform that to be true 😊

But I needed English for my (volunteer) work in a social movement, so I slowly learn it. But still had big problems to understand spoken English. Then I found English videos about topic that was very investing for me. I was trying hard to understand and finally I did.

Long story short, I still prefer to speak Esperanto, and much more people should, IMO.
