Wow, that's fucked up.

I'm not sure if my late reply is still useful, but anyway: I'm using btrbk on multiple computers / servers and am very satisfied with it! I can't speak for the health of the project though. But as long as it's working fine it doesn't need highly active development, no?

(But I do hope that it's still maintained.)

That was my first thought too... :/

That's nice indeed! Thanks for sharing.

Tjo, iergendwann muss et wuel gemaach ginn. Mee et nervt trotzdem e bëssen, dass (gefillt) ëmmer wann ee grad kéint e Familljenausfluch mam Zuch maachen, Aarbechten dat verhënneren.

Yeah, sure. That's why the very same article quotes the Commissioner stating that people learning the language often don't find anyone speaking it to actually practice.

"used more than ever" is just a statistical lie. It's based on absolute numbers but to be able to actually use a language, it's the relative numbers that count, i.e. the proportion of Luxembourgish speakers among people being here day to day (600k + 200k frontaliers). That proportion has been dwindling for a long time. And it shows.

(No, I don't vote ADR but I'm fed up with the gaslighting nonetheless.)

As a kid I wasn't too bad at chess but stopped playing. Recently, i.e. some decades later, I created a lichess account and due to some successful tactics and a bit of luck I won my first three games and my (provisional) rating shot up to around 1900 and I was quite surprised and happy.

Afterwards I had the expected losing streak taking me down almost 500 points in only a handful of games...

All is well though, I'm studying a bit and am steadily climbing and should reach 1600 soon.

The linked report in that article is quite detailed and interesting. Seems a reasonable proposal. But then again I only play online and don't have a FIDE rating myself.
