We don't need that, we already have Scandinavia.

As someone who got a physics degree and knows some shit, the first couple seasons are not too bad. The physics/math jokes are mostly fairly accurate, and those shows happened as nerd culture was getting mainstreamed. The first Avengers movie were several years away. I can't really say whether the series had a part in this mainstreaming, but at the least it was in the Zeitgeist.
I grew up in the north Italian province. Being a nerd didn't make you an outcast, but definitely an odd one.
The first couple seasons came out while I was doing my bachelor (i.e. the equivalent of undergrad) and with its caricature of some quirks I could recognize in many of my friends and colleagues, it made me feel at least acknowledged.
Then it got progressively worse as they kept looking for more and more ways to drag it on, lost those qualities I found positive, and I really gave up not too long after that.
Edit: I still need to point out that Star Trek TNG is peak comfort TV, together with maybe The West Wing or some Doctor Who.
The problem with that is the power consumption. It adds up.
You think that's a lot? I don't have a single laptop younger than 6 years, at home or work.
Sorry Jared, I got confused there for a moment.
Yeah, because Italians totally have no idea how to build a car.
Edit: a gentle reminder that e.g. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani, Ducati, Dallara and DeTomaso come from exactly the same area as Parmigiano, Bolognese sauce, Parma ham, lasagne, and Bologna sausage.
Italy does not, indeed, have too much to offer with respect to computers and the internet.
Somehow that still makes sense.
What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
VS Code is mostly open source though, with an independent build being circulated under the name "VS Codium". Some proprietary Microsoft extensions will however refuse to run on it out of spite though.

The proprietary version of Inkscape would be Adobe Illustrator, I guess.
Never used it though.

You can definitely mount a windows share on a linux machine. I was doing it at my last job, because it allows you to do anything on it transparently as if its part of the local filesystem.
Here instructions from the Ubuntu wiki, most things should carry over to most other distros.
No car is fun in those instances. But that is how we spend the majority of our time on the road.
Hence, "fun driving is over".
But that already happens all the time. Vedy often the rights end up in the hands of some corporation and the author gets to have ~zero say in how it's used.
Doesn't seem to have been a particularly big issue.
