  • I’m a native Portuguese speaker, fluent in English and can understand Spanish and French. Despite having had 3 years of French in school, I can no longer speak properly, and my writing is really bad, but I can understand pretty well. Spanish just comes to me because of the similarities with Portuguese, I never formally learned it.




  • How can I make using Arch Linux my personality

    That cracked me up x)

    Anyway, I’d say it’s good that the OS is out of your way once set it up. Even though I don’t use Arch directly, I like how comprehensive the AUR is (even though there may be repositories more packages, like nix and whatnot), think the ArchWiki (like the GentooWiki) is a very useful resource, even if you use a completely different system.




  • I went through my subscription list on FreeTube and filtered these out (the list was much lengthier initially :p)

    • Alt Shift X — well detailed and narrated videos about fantasy series such as Dune, ASOIAF.
    • Captain Disillusion — very well made videos about VFX.
    • Computerphile — computer science twin of Numberphile; neat videos about the field with a wide range of guests.
    • EthosLab — pretty much the only Minecraft creator I still watch; witty, quiet and virtually the same for a long time.
    • hbomberguy — well known video essayist, easily one of the best in the platform
    • Jacob Geller — another quality essayist, exploring different themes, such as horror
    • Lemino — very well known creator focusing on mysteries, with incredible narration and stunning visuals
    • LockPickingLawyer — very simple, to the point and informative channel about locks and lockpicking; also virtually unchanged for years
    • Oversimplified — great overviews of major history events and periods, with funny narration and visuals
    • Tantacrul — fairly unknown essayist on music, with well researched material and nice takes :P
    • Then & Now — possibly my favorite atm (alongside hbomberguy); extremely well researched and presented video essays about history, politics and philosophy; very underrated imo








  • I’d say there’s a bit of both in Portugal’s TM. Sometimes the TM acknowledges the creativity, but if the execution it too off the rules, it doesn’t get well rewarded. Other times, creative solutions really bump a player’s score.

    An interesting detail, though, is that in here, TM contestants are mostly non-comedians, and only four of them are permanent per season, with each episode having a different guest. I don’t know how it is in US, but I find it really entertaining seeing well known figures doing silly shit and being creative. The varying 5th seat also brings a nice dynamic, and sometimes some of them then get moved to the permanent cast in following seasons.


  • I know little about English speaking TV, so can’t quite help OP, but I gotta vouch for Taskmaster. This show is just incredible. I’ve only watched a few UK episodes, but I’ve watched every single one they’ve made in Portugal (4 seasons out already, 5th in the making iirc). It’s peak cheek-hurting laughter content. It’s not sophisticated humour or whatever, but it’s undeniably funny AF.
