How would one create analog clock for displaying Unix time? 🤔

Why do operating systems ask for my country and then assume some settings based on that?

I’m setting up Raspbian and I genuinely do not know which country should I choose since selecting Finland does not allow me to select English as my language. I probably can edit those settings after install but that makes having an installer kind of pointless.

I have been (not so publicly) bashing YLE any time they create poor journalism, but compared to this example that DW is covering, they seem to be at least fine outlet: https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-no-sweden-is-not-holding-a-sex-championship/a-65841986
Fact check: No, Sweden is not holding a 'sex championship'

The internet recently buzzed with the bizarre claim that Sweden had declared sex a sport and was organizing a tournament. International media fell for the gag and reported it as truth. DW delves deep into the issue.
