  I’m surprised I haven’t seen blender here yet, but I really think blender is one of open source’s greatest achievements. It feels like a professional software and is also used in the industry.

  In this case, however, it is a white British national. It doesn’t seem to fit into the racist rhetoric that normally comes out of this administration, instead being a broader targeting of foreigners in general. (This of course not being the only case of Europeans facing problems)

  Racism is a huge factor, but it seems the end goal goes further towards complete isolationism.

  I used to take semi-regular business trips to the US, but I think from this point I will try to move everything online. Aside from it not being safe for me in other ways, all it would take is someone with a suspicion that my work on the trip is “illegal” to send me to prison :/

  I had two 0,5 Pils for dinner too many nights when I was still in university 😅

  Thank you for the corrections! I had no idea it was so simple. I think my colleague had problems because she wasn’t aware of the FBAR for a few years.

  Important note about this (though I don’t know how much you earn): you can only exempt up to 120000 dollar equivalent per year, and you must still file your taxes every year with the American government even if you don’t live there. Non-US bank accounts and investments also must be declared, even if you no longer live there.

  I’m not American myself, but a colleague of mine is and she has mentioned having trouble with American agencies because some of these points (specifically the bank account point if I remember correctly).

  I need to get myself a ThinkPad…

  I would so love to switch when it is fully released, as it seems like a smoother better version of the workflow I have now with the current pop gnome shell, but I have never been able to top ~40fps in Wayland and there’s no support for x of course. Maybe when I upgrade my hardware :)

  I didn’t even know interactive wallpapers were a thing, that sounds so cool! I’m the kind of boring person who keeps almost every default unless it bothers me, even the wallpaper 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meow :3⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice! It seems like the cables are justified. I also ended up on default 12.04 with unity after a half year or so because kde at the time had too many quirky for me. I’ve honestly been wanting to give it another go since plasma 5 came out, but haven’t gotten around to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meow :3⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kubuntu! Kubuntu 12.04 was my first distro, so it always makes me happy to see :D Also, you seem to have a lot of cables on your desk, and I can’t figure out what they’d all be for :P
