Here is also the Polish version for the curious ones:

Nic dwa razy się nie zda­rza
i nie zda­rzy. Z tej przy­czy­ny
zro­dzi­li­śmy się bez wpra­wy
i po­mrze­my bez ru­ty­ny.

Choć­by­śmy ucznia­mi byli
naj­tęp­szy­mi w szko­le świa­ta,
nie bę­dzie­my re­pe­to­wać
żad­nej zimy ani lata.

Żaden dzień się nie po­wtó­rzy,
nie ma dwóch po­dob­nych nocy,
dwóch tych sa­mych po­ca­łun­ków,
dwóch jed­na­kich spoj­rzeń w oczy.

Wczo­raj, kie­dy two­je imię
ktoś wy­mó­wił przy mnie gło­śno,
tak mi było, jak­by róża
przez otwar­te wpa­dła okno.

Dziś, kie­dy je­ste­śmy ra­zem,
od­wró­ci­łam twarz ku ścia­nie.
Róża? Jak wy­glą­da róża?
Czy to kwiat? A może ka­mień?

Cze­mu ty się, zła go­dzi­no,
z nie­po­trzeb­nym mie­szasz lę­kiem?
Je­steś - a więc mu­sisz mi­nąć.
Mi­niesz - a więc to jest pięk­ne.

Uśmiech­nię­ci, współ­o­bję­ci
spró­bu­je­my szu­kać zgo­dy,
choć róż­ni­my się od sie­bie
jak dwie kro­ple czy­stej wody.

@freemo You've inspired me to share my favourite poem. Original is in Polish, so I'll post a translation to reach a wider audience.

"Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence, the sorry fact is
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to practice.

Even if there is no one dumber,
if you're the planet's biggest dunce,
you can't repeat the class in summer:
this course is only offered once.

No day copies yesterday,
no two nights will teach what bliss is
in precisely the same way,
with precisely the same kisses.

One day, perhaps some idle tongue
mentions your name by accident:
I feel as if a rose were flung
into the room, all hue and scent.

The next day, though you're here with me,
I can't help looking at the clock:
A rose? A rose? What could that be?
Is it a flower or a rock?

Why do we treat the fleeting day
with so much needless fear and sorrow?
It's in its nature not to stay:
Today is always gone tomorrow.

With smiles and kisses, we prefer
to seek accord beneath our star,
although we're different (we concur)
just as two drops of water are"

-- Wisława Szymborska, Nothing Twice (pl: Nic dwa razy)

@ulema
Mostly #kotlin and #android. For personal projects either #python or #rustlang.

@freemo yeah, you're right. I truly hope that they will succeed and will be able to survive in this tough market as I would love to see a turn in the direction of more right-to-repair friendly, therefore more eco friendly laptops. Miss the old times when you could just upgrade a CPU on your Thinkpad 😢

@freemo it's a pity that they don't ship to Europe yet
