The physical design was somewhat similar but if you look at old footage from cities you’ll see that walking on the street was completely normal.

There didn’t yet exist this idea that we have to leave 80% of the street exclusively for cars.

I’m genuinely confused how you think that these two examples of internal uprisings are at all connected to someone saying effectively “don’t count on international law to mean anything since there isn’t any body to enforce it”

Germany is actually trending the other way. Modern Parlaments have more parties than they did in the past.

In general, US-based sites/companies are usually terrible with supporting multi-lingualism. It’s not really surprising I guess considering how monolingual most of the country/region is.

For years google maps has annoyed me, since I just wanted a good way to have German and English reviews not be translated, since both are common in my city and I speak both languages.

Somehow it randomly works sometimes and then suddenly will start translating them again. It’s very inconsistent.

I visited family/friends in the US recently (i’ve lived in europe for many years).

Everyone is super upset about the current state of things, angry at Trump etc.

However, they are also generally just convinced they need to wait out these four years and then everything can return to normal.

Yeah I have used opensuse for the past couple years (still do!) but while there is plenty to like, if I were to do a reinstall I would likely move back to Fedora.

Then again, I basically never use YaST, which I suppose is one of the main song points.

It’s literally not any different. Starlink is just a less-reliable broadband internet connection, it has nothing to do with WiFi

As a non-native working in German, the numbers are one of the trickiest parts.

My jobs generally involve a lot of math and discussions of numbers, and I often struggle with swapping numbers around in my head. Especially because when you get to bigger numbers people often switch between (or use a combination of) listing individual digits left-to-right and saying multi-digit numbers.

The though is when you occasionally notice natives mess it up!

He always gets so hung up on MIT because of his uncle

For me, I like that it isn’t overcomplicated and just works. It being basic is a big pro to me.

I can see what you’re saying, but at this point Elon is the most powerful person in the US, and certainly more powerful than any politician (even Trump).

I don’t think everyone realizes how unbelievably, dangerously rich Elon is. The dude is a moron, but he has enough money to buy out all of our politicians many many times over.

I only have to use this occasionally, but on my android I use the app “Talkatone” to make free calls to phones. They have paid plans to keep your number, but I tend to just use new ones whenever one expires.

It might not suit your needs, but it’s worked pretty reliably for me for the past 10 years or so.

I do a lot of programming, which is generally easiest with the US layout (since most languages were designed using this) but I also type frequently in a couple other languages which have extra characters. For me it’s easier to use than switching layouts.

Everyone knows that Albania actually rules the world

I can’t live without the EurKey layout! Even had to get approval to add it to our systems at one megacorp I worked for.

There is no such thing as illegal immigrants.

I mean, I’m not saying that this isn’t a valid opinion, but it’s certainly not a majority opinion.

It’s almost certainly inclusive.

Not to mention, anyone who has worked in the US gets a SSN, not just citizens or current residents.

I know a bunch of people over here in europe who have them after working a few months/ years in the US.

It depends how you forward images. I assume they are referring to how many/most services (like whatsapp/discord/telegram etc) don’t just send the original file, but do some compression to save data. Do this a bunch of times and you end up with a photo that starts to show noticeable artifacts/pixellation.

That’s my take at least

I don’t think you realize how rich musk is.

If you scaled the numbers above to the whole US population, the fine would be something around $17 Billion.

Musk’s net worth is over 20x that!

Extreme inequality causes extreme instability
