True, but there’s a high chance you’ll accidentally write something that’s correct than in latin script. When I was learning Russian in high school I spent more time than I should trying to come up with a word that has the most “u” shapes. Sadly I don’t remember what I settled on, but it was quite a bit long.

Writing in cursive is easy, just write a bunch of “u” next to each other and you’re bound to write one of the characters that look like bunch of “u”.

I don’t think the point is that you can sue them if it only lasts 13 billion years, but the under current conditions it’s projected lifetime is 14 billion years. Which is a very big number, meaning it’s pretty much guaranteed it won’t break in 100, 1000 or 10000 years.

Same for batteries.

Any volunteers for testing the claim?

I mean, if a single distro is what we’re after, isn’t there already ChromeOS?
- Comment on what happens when you cut something? 1 month ago:
Are you talking molecular level? Then yes, some is lost. If you’re talking human noticeable levels, it depends on the material and cutting method.

Because everything sounds better in Matthew Barry’s voice.

Yeah, my teacher, killed one of his students, her grandma and grandpa (only one of them, one was wounded).

Guess China copied sugar wrong.

90% China, 10% USA. Good work Europe, I guess?

The Farmer Was Replaced. Cause I don’t have enough coding in my work.

Oh yeah, I feel sorry for all the Immich users who know it just won’t happen to them. Losing your movie collection sucks but you can download again, but personal photos deserve much better treatment. Though it sucks paying extra for cloud backup of your photos.

I philosoph around a lot. It’s not good for my mind.

I mean, forever might be too strong of a word.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 2 months ago:
I personally buy from GOG almost exclusively, but it really depends on you. If Steam features are important to you, use Steam. If what GOG’s doing with DRM is important to you, buy from GOG.
Can’t you continue buying games from both? And use Playnite or something? Or even just GOG Galaxy which has the ability to import your games from Steam and run them?
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 2 months ago:
You can just put the game into Steam after install, works great.

IMO there’s a huge difference between “doesn’t enjoy” and “being indifferent”.
Like, me and my partner watch some movies that they’re definitely not enjoying, but they still watch them because we’re together and they don’t not enjoy them.
Point is, you can do things together if you accept the other side is not into it as much as you are.

What even is this response? That’s like telling a gay person they should try being straight.

Oh yeah, that’s the important thing happening right now that Russia is involved in. Internet outages.
- Comment on Regulations restricting pay disclosure? 2 months ago:
Unlikely that it’s actually any regulatory requirement, but I don’t see anything illegal about it either (though I’m not based in the US, so I don’t really know).

Depends. Not according to OP, yes according to everyone else.

I don’t a LLM would be so wrong about it.

The umlauted letters are separate letters, your table is wrong.

Those count as separate letters.
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 2 months ago:
Well, that’s why you’ll have to try out. Or ask someone to at least try whether it opens, the apps mostly either fail on start because they require a Google certified Android, or they don’t fail at all.

Though it looks like that could change eventually with a Linux phone.
SailfishOS is mostly daily drivable, depends on which Android apps you need (there’s a compatibility layer to run Android apps on it), with bank apps it’s often a problem.
- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 2 months ago:
That happens often, usually to people who have gone through a childhood full of arguing (not necessarily with them, might be the parents just fighting a lot).

I’m usually annoyed, not uncomfortable.
