    The word for yacht is jacht in Dutch, so that one’s easy.

    What makes it slightly harder is that jacht can also mean hunt.

    However, the hardest part of learning English when you’re Dutch is trying not to sound like Mark Rutte.


  • I think most of the update is pretty okay (unpopular opinion: I kinda like the new battery icon), except for the notification panel, which they completely ruined.

    It used to be that persistent notifications (which need to be there so apps like tasker and kde connect don’t get killed) were neatly at the bottom. Now they’re just randomly mixed in with the other notifications, so chats, emails, etc.


  • The same works in Dutch:

    Als vliegen achter vliegen vliegen, vliegen vliegen vliegen achterna.

    Although my favourite form of that tongue twister is:

    Als vliegende vliegen achter vliegende vliegen vliegen, vliegen de vliegende vliegen vliegensvlug.

    When flying flies fly behind flying flies, the flying flies fly rapidly (“flying fast”).
