Hong Kong is one of my favourite places, along with Bangkok and Taipei. I can't count the number of times I've been to HK, at one point it was twice a year. Last year I went only once but I'm booked for March 1st! Chomping at the bit but next month will go to Siem Reap!Last edited by Beerislife; Jan 09, 2020, 12:12 AM.Constant change is here to stay!

got issues with language and regional settings as well. I live in Sweden and need the correct regional settings for date, number etc but want my system communicate in english with me. I went into kde system settings and was pleased to see that there is an option for en_SE which sounds perfect. Unfortunately something is messed up since e.g.
libreoffice can't open files with special characters like öåä in the filename anymore.
locale returns this
Code:$ locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_SE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_SE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=en_SE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_SE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_SE.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=en_SE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_SE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_SE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_ALL=

"The only difference between en_US and en_US.utf8 is that the former uses ISO-8859-1 for a character set, while the latter uses UTF-8. Prefer UTF-8. The only difference in these is in what characters they are capable of representing. ISO-8859-1 represents characters common to many Americans (the English alphabet, plus a few letters with accents), whereas UTF-8 encodes all of Unicode, and thus, just about any language you can think of. UTF-8, today, is a defacto standard encoding for text. (Which is why you should prefer it.)" ~ Abraham Lincoln"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
– John F. Kennedy, February 26, 1962.
