Yeah, no, with that NIMBY attitude nothing will ever get done. You really think the rest of the developed world got to were they are without some chafing along the way? It’s almost as if you don’t want shit to get better with that typical American defeatist mentality.

Right. Then you’d have to start by making a national education policy. I’m not saying it will be easy (Sweden did by no means get it perfect right away, nor is it perfect now) but unless you start somewhere you won’t ever get to a better place.

The Swedish school system didn’t pop up out of thin air either. Of course you’ll have to invest in the system for it to work.

I typed with T9 without looking. Learned what order the “common button combination” words would be suggested. Still haven’t recovered my WPM from that era.

Released two years later, expensive as hell, still had a touchscreen. The blackberry was always an option.

Chad did a bad job. Fuck AI.

Yeah, I really miss spelling things out like this. Those were the days.

Missing the pauses needed to start the next letter sure stumped my translation progress.

Not to mention mixing up Lemmy and Reddit. And always starting in a confirmatory wording.

Nice ad my dude! How come you went with the “standard” layout instead of something more ergonomic like an ortholinear setup?

I guess I did. Sorry about that!

Because Trump was never going to wage a war? Lol. Everyone but R could see it clear as day that Trump would have no interest at all in stopping his Zionist friends from their favorite pastime hobby.

It seems citizenship don’t mean anything to ICE. Stay safe, friend and good luck.

Many (most?) of those have been adopted over years of doing something badly - arguably “history” which could’ve been learned from.

I guess everything is news if you don’t learn your history.

Why not USB C? It can carry a DP signal and (obviously) do all the USB stuff you’d ever need too.

That’s incorrect. DP has had audio (up to 8 channels, 24bit@192kHz) since 1.0, nowadays it supports up to 32 channels and 1536kHz sample rate. Wikipedia has the official standards PDFs linked.

Americans pay 10x per capita for their healthcare, compared to other countries like the Nordics or Germany. Still, the costs of the war on Iran would have funded public healthcare for all for how long? Decades?

I did participate in my mandatory military conscription. Was excited for it. Learned some habits that I’m sure have helped me since. Alternative would’ve been jail, which sounded like an overall bad idea.

There are pacifist roles (medics, firefighters, …) for those that don’t want to handle a gun.

Nice job! I don’t find this particularly dull though. 🫣

I’d be more willing to believe it if the second comma was a decimal point.
