  • My closest supermarket is 400m away, and the next supermarket over is 1.1km. I walk there daily, sometimes multiple times a day. 3km is quite far and I would not consider that walking distance.

    It’s certainly possible to walk that distance once every (couple of) months, if I did not have my bike available for whatever reason? But I would consider regularly walking 40 minutes one way every other day to be far too much. That distance is cycling distance, not walking distance.

    On a side-note. Did you just say that the bus arrives only once every four hours? My lord… It might as well basically not exist at that point.




  • AZERTY is not really about being similar to QWERTY. It’s the French standard keyboard layout.
    Similarly QWERTZ is the German standard keyboard layout.

    Most (European?) countries use some variation of QWERTY with the symbols and special characters moved around to fit their respective languages better. Over here in the Netherlands we are a bit of an outlier in the sense that we use the US layout of QWERTY, but with additional modifier keys to make special characters available (It’s called US International)

    There is also niche layouts like DVORAK (optimized layout for English) and BÉPO (optimized layout for French).

    What is the reason you switched to AZERTY, if I may ask? I’m quite curious.



  • Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay.

    I’ve been here for 1.5 years now, ever since the previous Reddit exodus.
    Its not as big, so finding a niche community is a bit tricky sometimes. But overall I find this place quite cozy.

    One recommendation I tend to give to newbies is to ignore the .ml instances. They claim to be Marxist-Leninists and the moderation there tends to be iffy at best.

    Other than that using this place has been smooth sailing for me.
