This isn't the right community for support questions, we're more interested in questions that spark discussions. Please avoid posting similar stuff again, and try communities like [email protected].

Cheers!

That is my opinion as well, though I think we could be a bit less lenient on "lazy" posts further down the road, when the community is bigger. I'm talking about not having a question in the title at all (like the recent vaping post) or just asking technical stuff that doesn't spark discussion (like the recent FLOSS PDF reader post).

What are your thoughts on that?

You're right, I often forget about that. It's still an incredible achievement.

Yeah, for sure 🙏

Was going to say that too. Regardless of the motives and driving forces behind the incredible speed at which the vaccines were developed (i.e. certainly a similar urgency could be applied to other diseases killing thousands and millions in poorer countries, but there ain't as much interest in that), the mRNA technology proved quite powerful and an avenue to continue exploring in future research.

It is, the the fault isn't entirely on the tourists (specially if they're respecting and give two fucks about the places they're visiting); the governments have been pushing tons of pro-tourism stuff everywhere for years, hence why we grew that industry so much, often without thinking of long term consequences and economic balance. So now, we have an economy overly dependent on tourism (with all the good but mostly bad stuff that brings), which, in addition to other shitty decisions like massive roadway investment instead of railway (we have one of the best road network in Europe, but a shitty railway one, significantly shrinked down in the last 40 years), have led to lots of serious issues preventing good development of a lot of other industry we could have and once had. The classic example is Algarve (the southernmost region) is so dependent on tourist they had a very hard time during COVID. Outside of Lisbon's (<2M) and Porto's (>1M) metro areas, every other city has less than 500k people, and the vast majority less than 100k, which presents obvious issues.

Anyway, sorry for the shit dump 😅

lol
I believe "jogo da bolacha" is a more common name here X)

I feel you lol. I wish less people came to Portugal, especially Lisbon and Porto. It's a bit ridiculous sometimes. The culture people come looking for is slowly dying or becoming a fake version of itself because legit stuff is being pushed out of historical centers, in favor or tourist attracting alternatives. The issue of overpricing (because all the English, German, French, etc, visiting Portugal earn way better than us here in average) is ludicrous, it's becoming harder to enjoy the places we used to go 15 or 20 years ago.
sigh

I use Okular and sometimes Zathura, both can do that through hotkeys (you can also add a button to the toolbar in Okular)

Yeah, sure. That's because we're also fairly small and Reddit isn't really that popular, especially among older folks.

Regarding the 1 sub, I don't think the issue is having too many communities, seeing as [email protected] serves as a main hub and has pretty loose restrictions already. The issue is more of the overall visibility of Lemmy paired with the low usage of Reddit-like mediums in Portugal.

No problem! I've created separate posts for all episodes, so feel free to chime in as you watch them :)

Here it is :D ([email protected])
