In France we have a possibility to get tutored to get more experience before passing the exam. It is basically driving with your parents or people with more than 3 years without accident. If your parents can find time to do some tutoring it could help. I remember how I could feel out of control but having my parents next to me was an insurance that someone was monitoring the traffic and pedestrians around and could tell me to brake if I was focused on something else.

I still find it crazy that basic ID in the USA is not mainstream. In France you have one as soon as you are born (and you need it or password for all national exam).

I don’t know where you are from, but usually, taxes are a way to put money for the community and to redistribute it. In France, it happens with our social safety (health, unemployment, allocations) and to help companies (there is a lot to discuss about this specific point, but it is outside of scope).
Within a liberal economy, you don’t want to forbid abruptely, so you increase the price of something polluting to finance a greener economy.
Now, why this does not work is because capitalism is broken and sending us all to death in war and global warming and because we have corruption problems be it in France or the USA or wherever.
- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 3 weeks ago:
It is more about signal leakage between neurones. The optical nerve is closed to the one controlling sneezing so when the optical is highly excited, it can activate the sneezing nerve.

If this person is scared to have password stored, you can talk them about lesspass. It is available as a website where everything happens inside the browser, a browser plugin or an android app and it uses crypto derivation to generate unique passwords for each site.

They are already basic computers, only specific OS. And honestly, I have the feeling that big commercial engines support all platforms (the switch even supports vulkan api). And I feel that eventually, exclusive games end up on PC so why bother? On PC, you even have gogs which is DRM free.

One more proof that everyone should rely on US techs as less as possible (we are still dependant on hardware, but it is coming (ARM, RISCV). For a fucking mail server it is doable, and such organization should have their own infrastructure.

- Comment on Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? 1 month ago:
I am no dev of lemmy, but traditionally, to connect remotely to a computer it was user@computer.name. The mail addresses simply use this pattern. It’s nice for Lemmy to use it, and I’d say ot would have been nicer for matrix to use it (not that I really care)

Android keyboard, set up in french and I care less about random comments on Lemmy than in my configs. Also, this kind of typo would results in error, not unsafety
