    I'm a native Spanish speaker, as well as an english speaker since early childhood. Knowing spanish also comes with the added bonus of being able to read a fair bit of Portuguese, which I've also taken an interest in, both in terms of speaking, writing, and reading it.

    Oh yeah. Hearing Trump talk about wanting to take back the canal is definitely making me a bit nervous, given the history we have of American territorial occupation and segregation. Some protests are already springing up to reject the taking of the canal by the USA. I just hope things turn out well, nothing much I can do.

    Yep. All schools and most universities finish classes by early to mid December, then we go back to class during March. People take their vacation leave around December and January.

    I call it "summer break" since it's the most familiar sounding term I can come up with for native English speakers (who are usually North American or European). Since we don't really have the traditional four seasons here, I guess it would be more accurate to call it "dry season break", which lasts from January until March.

    Man I wish I could pretend the USA didn't exist right now, but as it happens, I live in Panama so I'm a bit worried about America taking back the canal. In any case, I am doing fine. Enjoying my summer break before my third year of college starts.

    I have always been a WizTree user, so unfortunately, I cannot confirm whether their claim is true. I can say, however, that WizTree is pretty fast, even if I don't know how it compares to other programs. For example, when I open the program and I begin a scan, it only takes about 5 seconds for it to scan my main 500GB Windows SSD.

    I am a Windows enthusiast, and I found Wintoys, and PowerToys to be really cool apps for Windows PC power users.

    WizTree is a nice program for analyzing your disk usage for storage management. I also enjoy Wallpaper Engine and both my PC and Android devices. Finally, I recommend PeaZip if you want a nice program for managing zip files.

    Bitwarden user here. Yep, it's extremely useful. I pair it with Ente Auth for cross-platform TOTP codes.

    Hello. I recently joined this platform, and it looks like a great alternative to Reddit. Hoping to spend some more time here :D

    I am a simple Latin American college student with hobbies such as gaming, cycling, handwriting, and programming. Technologically inclined; the kind of kid who would sit and read the manuals for every new shiny thing they got.
