- Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare? 10 hours ago:
Italy is super cheap compared to the US, but the quality varies a lot by region (don’t go to the south) and the waiting lists are so long.

God, I miss that phone.

Is the screen protector really necessary?
I’ve never used it, just a cover on the back.

- Comment on Speak American 4 weeks ago:
Well if we want to get technical its roots are in the Indo-European which comes from the Iranian plateau

Or even the Canadian flag, to make it even more fun for the US people lol

That’s for another reason we clearly know
- Comment on Speak American 5 weeks ago:
It makes a bit of sense because Duolingo teaches you the American variety of English and Brazilian.
But still… why?!
- Comment on Speak American 5 weeks ago:
I usually use UK English to have a sane date formatting (the US format is completely retarded), but you have a good idea. I’ll use Ireland from now on.
- Comment on Speak American 5 weeks ago:
See? This is why we shouldn’t use flags to represent languages.
Go to Brazil, and I bet they use the Brazilian flag to represent the language they speak, not the Portuguese one.
Go to Ireland, and you’ll see they use the Irish flag to represent the English language.
In Switzerland, what flag should they use to represent Ladin?
And what about Canada? They speak two official languages.
The correct way to display languages is just their name or they ISO code. Using flags for languages is fundamentally wrong.

British English is the OG English. They should always use that flag.
- Comment on Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet 5 weeks ago:
Have you seen the average person recently? They like to be spoon-fed content in a passive way. Look at Instagram Reels or TikTok.
Mastodon is fine for geeks like us, but the average Joe would find it dead and boring. Bluesky managed to fill that hole left by Twitter.

Yeah I think “benefit company” is the most bullshit thing ever invented

People are downvoting you, but I remember going on porn websites at 9 years old and it was great. I turned out fine, and I’m glad my parents didn’t check my browser history.
- Comment on Sure thing, website, my name is Gabe Newell 5 weeks ago:
You’re partially right, I’d like to add some details: websites can also check if a domain (e.g. example.com) actually exists. So if you smash random letters on your keyboard and you end up with a non-existing domain, a website will be able to stop you from using that address.
More advanced websites also check for an MX record on the domain DNS. If a domain exists but it doesn’t have an MX record, then it’s not going to be able to receive emails and may be blocked in sign up forms.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 5 weeks ago:
But there must be a (long) max length anyway, to prevent some kinds of attacks.

- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
GIMP and Inkscape are unfortunately worse than their commercial counterparts.
The Adobe suite sucks big time, but it’s still the de facto standard.
Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer are lighter and snappier than Adobe, but still better than GIMP and Inkscape.

I love yt-dlp!!! Too bad that the Pluto TV downloader has been broken for a long time, I used it in the past to download region locked shows

Files shared on Usenet (which may violate piracy laws) are usually packed in the rar format

I’d love if the Affinity suite was available for Linux. That’s the only thing I miss from Windows/macOS.
