Yeah, exactly! I was quite amazed at how fast my French degraded after I stopped having classes.

I'm a native Portuguese speaker, fluent in English and can understand Spanish and French. Despite having had 3 years of French in school, I can no longer speak properly, and my writing is really bad, but I can understand pretty well. Spanish just comes to me because of the similarities with Portuguese, I never formally learned it.

I'll add a pretty good classic that I haven't seen mentioned yet: The Mentalist

Excelent performance by Simon Baker, of course, as well as from the supporting cast. First seasons are really good, with some great finales. Quality drops a bit past season 4/5 imo, but it's still enjoyable.

I'm not familiar with any service that works at the international level, but over in Portugal, the biggest ATM network, Multibanco, has had a service called MB NET (now integrated with the newer MB WAY app), which allows you to create temporary cards with 3 different behaviours: one-time, monthly, multiple uses. The first one always has 1 month of validity, while the others only expire after a year, and you can define a maximum capacity.

It works perfectly well in foreign online services, but you have to have a card from one of the associated banks (presumably from their Portuguese branch?).

Interesting extension, didn't know about it, thanks!

XD I was caught very off-guard, ngl

Yeah, in NA this is called "limp biscuit"...there was a popular band named after the concept. Gross. 🤢

Nice to know x)

Oh that's an interesting tool. I've been thinking of working on something like that, but it seems someone has put in the work already, neat! I will be paying attention at that experimental community, seems promising.

readme.com (aka readme.io) ain't libre, but it has a free plan.
I also think it's a bit on the heavy side, but what isn't these days...

+1 for lemmy.readme.io, it's much easier to read than a JS lib documentation.

Aaaaaah, that makes much more sense lmao

The "jogo do pão"/"jogo da bolacha" is silly and dirty kids "game", I was quite confused how you even knew about it x)

But yeah, jogo do pau is pretty cool, though I know little about it. It's another slowly dying bit of our culture.

lol
I believe "jogo da bolacha" is a more common name here X)
