  • Me and my wife both could speak 4 languages when we met, the first 3 years since we met, our conversation were so bad ‘grammatically’ we even had a big laugh when in a single paragraph I switched languages 6 times amog the 4 languages. I think as time went on we at least brought it down to 2 languages between us 95% of the time, but we also learned two more languages now and we have 6 languages common between us.

    There is a big upside now, we always have a backup language if we wanna talk private things among people. (p.s. Most of both of our families are trilingual, with family youth at least understanding all 4 common languages, so it was hard to keep conversations private in family setting that forced us to learn 5th language, and 6th we had to learn when I moved to my current country)





  • You can all tropical cultures have some form of rice bread. Indians have rice bhakhari, South East Asia has rice paper, rice mixed with wheat in banh mi, Liberia and Sierra Leone have ginger rice bread. Its a fundamentally different bread and requires different complimentary food. If you use it as replacement for wheat bread it will not taste the same. Its like you made wheat pilav and then complained its not the same. Of course it’s not the same that’s the point.








  • I believe It’s close, I worked on a paper about a decade ago, and our numbers were not too dissimilar, actually it’s ridiculous how similar they are. We went with the most extensive data hunt on land usage. We had non-arable land at 14.7%, which rounded up to 15% in our summary. We got multiple sources for global precipitation levels. We got registries from US, Russia, China, India, Brazil, Canada, Australia, etc totalling 65 countries, we extrapolated the rest, our extrapolation was actually 70% of the paper. We back tallied registry numbers with global weather data.




  • Let me do the best summary I can.

    Waterfox is owned by a company and they claim it’s a good thing. Librewolf is community project which I think it’s a good thing since passionate community means longer before project is poisoned and we have to move on to some fork.

    Librewolf will delete all cookies and browsing data when you close the browser making all sessions effectively incognito. Waterfox gives you convinience that you can stay signed in in the websites you frequent (I think it’s disadvantage, but of course it’s less convinient to sign in every time)

    Librewolf includes ublock origin by default, waterfox you have to add it on your own.

    Librewolf default search engine is duckduckgo.com while waterfox has changed defaults, currently they are on startpage.com

    Librewolf doesn’t add any tab navigation stuff but waterfox adds tree tabs by default (you can do this with add ons on Librewolf)

    Librewolf has no telemetry ot mozzila servers or Google Safe browsing, so no Firefox sync or pockets feature. Waterfox retains some telemetry to Mozilla servers, I don’t recall if they do Google safe browsing or not.

    Librewolf project doesn’t provide binaries so you either compile it yourself or you stay dependent on one of the community members to make the binaries for you. Waterfox gives you a direct binary for which waterfox itself is responsible and you only have a single sign certificate.

    You decide what is your usevase and what makes sense for you. My opinion is I like Librewolf because it starts very private and I can add some convinience features as I like and that i am confortable sacrificing privacy for. And I have trusted sources for binaries.
