I'll let Sábado and Domingo because they at least reference christianity (a religion that is still widely practiced in the portuguese-speaking world) as opposed to using names of gods no one has worshipped for centuries (like english and spanish do) -- And those days are days of special observations in said religion -- So it makes some semblance of sense.

I'm entirely aware of that.

I also think it's fucking stupid.

I've learned english as a little kid. It's been more than 20 years.

I've been formally considered "fluent" on it since I was 17, so 13 years ago.

I have never properly learned the weekday names in english. I also patently refuse.

Why isn't TWOsday the second? Why is there a fried day? Is that the only day you're allowed to eat deep fried foods?

Just number your days instead of using weird mythological names that reference gods you don't even worship anymore and used to kill people for woshipping. ****ing gringos.

Portuguese day names are the only ones that make sense.

How do you define "technology". Because if it means "any human invention" then I have to give it to my squatty-potty. I have Crohn's Disease and "quality of pooping life" is a very important factor. And it's just a lot comfier when your legs aren't falling asleep due to an unnatural position.

If it has to be something from "the tech industry", then my very first smartphone, circa 2012. After decades of oldschool cell phones, it was a real game-changer. Doubly so because I'm in Brazil, where texting was never really a thing, so for the first time I had access to the likes of WhatsApp and could be in touch with my mates, whereas previously the cell was really just for calls, which is to say, emergencies.

The Steam Deck often feels criminal to me.

I used to be into game console hacking, and because you were going outside the walled garden, everything was always unstable and your butthole would clench every time you did something new.

Then there's the Deck, which is just. Not a walled garden. It's a full computer that doesn't antfuck over what you do with it. I'm finally playing a bunch of titles from my Steam Library, yes, and it IS neat that Steam Cloud synchs stuff back to my PC so I can alternate between machines effortlessly.

But I also have mods on my games. And I have a bunch of tiny games like fangames and one-person indie titles from itch on it. And I ALSO have all my emulation stuff on it. AND sometimes when out travelling I don't take a laptop, just the deck and a keyboard/adapter.

And a part of me looks at it with its comfy console form factor and says "... This shouldn't be allowed. It's too good to be true."

I can't afford art right now but I'm subbing to the community because I love the aesthetic and the promise within.

Do you do AI stuff?

I've heard NVidia is better for AI

For gaming, you'll probably not notice a difference. If anything, you'll be happy due to not having to wrestle NVidia Linux Drivers :P
