delitrem··on I haven't used a mouse for 14 years
I've been using an external trackpad instead of a mouse since around 2009. At first, I used ratpoison as my window manager on my EEE PC as a daily driver, which is controlled entirely via the keyboard, then I used StumpWM for a long time and now I use cagebreak (which is a Wayland compositor with ratpoison-like behaviour). I use the trackpad very sparingly, only when it’s really necessary.
delitrem··on Nabokov's guide to foreigners learning Russian
> Russian is seriously messed up language.

Some (most?) national languages, which developed chaotically, are very illogical, with weird constructions and some inexplicable features (Russian and English are examples of this). Artificial/planned languages such as Esperanto are a different matter -- they are very easy to learn and very pleasant to the ear.

Great resource, many thanks for sharing. I've bookmarked it and will keep an eye on its development. Wish you good luck with it! (Not a Bulgarian, but live in your country for several years and really felt in love with it!)

Who knows, may be you are right here. I actually thought so at first, but knowing the author personally (he is my former colleague, I had the pleasure of working with him in the same team about 17-18 years ago), his extraordinary abilities and his writing style even before the widespread use of AI, I had my doubts.

delitrem··on My second year without a job
I'm a kind of political fugitive (probably will go into the prison for the beliefs if return to the country of origin), living in one of EU countries, married, having a little child and two dogs, owning apartament, have no significant health issues, also having second year without income at all, having some money on banking account, full-time working for the own startup on open source project. And I do not feel very disappointed.
