I found this video helpful but it’s a few months old already:

Depending on your goals, you could try to find used components that are incompatible with windows 11 but still perhaps powerful enough as this guy explains:

I recently reached the stage where katakana are worse because you kind of have to find out what they are supposed to mean to get the intonation right. Sometimes it’s freaking impossible without looking it up, like with オードブル

And you consider Japanese Kanji easy (context of the post)? What I heard from Chinese friends is that it’s just a chaotic mess

I also told my wife about my itchy knees and she go lookin’ in a hot jacuzzi.

(best I could improvise… The jacuzzi is a bit off though)

German certainly has a steep learning curve in the beginning, but I would argue it gets easier if you’re an advanced learner. Most more complex words are just compositions of easier words, pronunciation makes sense, the complex grammar quirks are either not used in everyday life or irrelevant (nobody cares if your say der, die, or das for any noun that’s not Nutella).

English on the other hand is easy to start but the learning curve never flattens. To pronounce a word correctly you often have to know the specific word beforehand or you’re lost (like with read, thyme, zealot, advertisement, …). To understand a new word you often have to look it up because compositional nouns are less common. That makes many new cool words but is less accessible.

Japanese Kanji are complicated. Ask a Chinese person learning Japanese, they will give you a good rant. Or ask a Japanese person who has been living abroad for a few years, they often forget many Kanji and have to relearn them. Main reason imho is that a lot of this has grown organically and the world has changed a lot over the past centuries, so many things would be done differently today.

Hard to say without more context. I’d check the existing distributions and pick one that suits you. Their websites usually have lists with compatible devices.

PostmarketOS is interesting for tinkering, grapheneOS just works reliably. Everything else in between

There is is, listen to uncle/auntie fartographer.

Protests have a lot of very concrete benefits besides just the signal. You meet people who are on your side and can form large and small networks. People internalize the political opinion and you have a shared experience to talk about later. You get pictures to use in campaigning. You maintain the practice of protesting. Etc.

It’s not just about counting the number.

Did you even read my comment? This is precisely the point. If something illegal happened through her bank account, that would be the only viable reason to block it. If not, there is no justification to block it.

The account blocking has taken a form recently that I condemn, I don’t think this should be used in the political discourse.

From the information I could gather about the case, I can’t say what happened through her account. There are some vague statements from the Bundespressekonferenz that make it seem like the government/EU takes that position. The family and lawyer claim the opposite.

In this case, I would tend to side with the family until we know more. My point was just that there is quite a stretch between blocking a bank account and starving children.

Caritas und Diakonie geben bei Bedarf z.B. Einkaufsgutscheine raus, weiß ich aus erster Hand. Das ist doch Quatsch, wir können doch nicht behaupten hier verhungern Kinder weil ein Konto gesperrt wird.

Caritas, Diakonie, churches, several others. You must be trolling at this point

It’s more likely that most people wouldn’t pass high school anymore

Sure, but they are not going to starve as written in the title. That’s just a blunt lie. They live in Germany and there are plenty of support options.

If the parents commit a crime related to their bank account, it’s reasonable to block these accounts.

The more relevant question is whether anything illegal has happened through his wive’s bank account. If so, block it. If not, don’t you dare block it. Simple as that

Well, they still have the alternative solution of digging that massive canal below.

As a positive side effect, that would produce a massive pile of dirt, big enough to bury the Epstein files

They blocked his wife’s bank account, I assume she’s not a young child.

But I’m level 3 genius!

Okay, so same issue as I have. But I think we’re getting there. There is a dedicated section already in my local electronics store which tells me this is becoming mainstream already

I haven’t heard of ads, but there was flattr which didn’t work out for some reason
