       @moodvintage IIRC I've helped set up an exhibition which included an original of this print. I remember its eerie atmosphere. But perhaps it was a similar print by the same artist or a colleague.

       @DialMforMara @vi @Canageek #Japanese tends to fit your description most of the time (the few clearly gendered pronouns/substitutes that exist can easily be avoided, pronouns are all-around optional). *However*, it is a heavily gendered language in other respects, in the 1st person especially (various elements denoting a register identifying the *speaker* as within a certain gender).

       @DialMforMara @vi @Canageek In #Italian (my native language) pronouns are quite easily avoided, but _adjectives_  are gendered and there's no way around that except eschewing adjectives altogether (often unfeasible).

       @carbontwelve @diodelass That, OR #Microsoft knows to maintain market dominance they have to keep their own proprietary format the de-facto standard. They'd rather not remind you #LibreOffice EXISTS.I wonder how many people in work environments actually use LibreOffice or #OpenOffice but save to MS formats assuming otherwise of their business relations.As a translator, I always send my clients ODTs and, so far, not once has one of them replied asking for a doc/docx instead!

       @carbontwelve When people say that, usually, what they mean is: "Stop stealing the spotlight from me!"

       @carbontwelve Does 0 count as "positive whole"? 'Cause that would make it a lot simpler.Also, does it have to be three different values, or could apple and pineapple have the same value, for example?

       "Norwegian independent repairer's 3-year legal battle ended last week when Norway’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of #Apple.With this decision, Apple confirms it’s able to weaponize intellectual property law to shut down independent #repair. This [...] is also bad for the planet, as high prices for repair push consumers to cycle through products faster and faster."https://repair.eu/news/apple-crushes-one-man-repair-shop/
