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.

Mackerel in tomato sauce is my go to snack. I just eat it with a fork straight from the tin

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

On a serious note, they probably meant ‘my’ (and speak a slavic language)

I got -30% for not writing comments for my pen and paper java final.

Somehow it just felt a bit silly to do, I guess

I file late just about every year…

Yeah moving to the UK from Germany it was a big shock how bad the ‘standard’ beers were.

In Germany you could just order ‘a beer’ and get something good, in the UK it would be like birra moretti or something

I liked the ales though…

They’ve been building big public housing since the 1920s. I live next to a lot of it and it’s quite high quality and really pleasant.

Lots of cities/countries has massive public housing (the UK being a great example post WW2) but Vienna is more of an exception in that they didn’t follow the trend in the 70s-90s of privatization and stopping investment (although it did slow down at one point).

They were the same way about their tram system, where they kept it rather than ripping it out like most places. Now everyone else wishes they so had a tram network or is trying to rebuild one.

That being said, rents are rising here too, but they are much more reasonable to begin with. I was living in London previously, and now we spend about 30-40% less for a place over twice the size and in a nicer location. Plus finding a place was muuuuuch easier, since it’s noticeably less competitive.

It’s less about that and more about stopping an extremely powerful attack vector currently active in your own country.

Literally the biggest reason why the western world is in such a giant political crisis is the weaponization of social media.

No love for Assad, but given all the islamist groups involved I have a bad feeling that this is going to end up even worse…

Citizens united at the very least

In the short-term: yes.

In the mid- to long-term: obscene inequality (like we are seeing currently) inevitably leads to awful awful things…

MMOs are the reasons that my typing style involves my left hand covering 60-70% of the keyboard and my right hand getting the remaining 30-40% that I can’t easily reach.

Only need to bring in the mouse hand of absolutely necessary!

He’s useful to the orange man… unfortunately that might be enough
