  Awwww darn as a fellow languages and linguistics enthusiast I feel your pain too XD

  I found it helpful if some of the languages you focus on happens to be written in an entirely different writing system :p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Denmark to ban mobile phones in schools and after-school clubs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the whole point here, allowing or disallowing phones should be the discretion of teachers based on what class they are actually teaching, be it language classes where there’s no need for phones or STEM classes where a pocket general purpose computer has many good uses and offer particularly good opportunities to teach students how to make constructive uses of smartphones in practical real life situations.

  And instead having this being outright a ban on the school level, like being proposed here, is exactly the single worst possible way to do this. Having it banned on school level but having arbitrary “exception” being allowed defeated the whole purpose and makes it practically no difference from the above, and also open up lots of loopholes for abuse. You also can’t just have a list of school or government level “officially approved exceptions” because it’s ultimately about a technology, and technology is always evolving way faster than bureaucracy.

  Exactly, and banning mobile phones is one fantastic way to make sure schools can never provide classes that teach them about positive and healthy technology choices, and I meant a real class about that, not just a class for the sake of pretending to be a class filled with only hypotheticals

  Same!!! Or niche fields of studies, although there’s a lot less serious ones of that kind lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what matters more, or perhaps at least in Valve’s perspective, is that microtransactions are inherently binding between the game’s developer/publisher and the player, so the game’s developer/publisher is the sole party held accountable here (by Valve), while ads inherently involve and invite a 3rd party advertiser, muddying the situation for everybody. While on the other hand, microtransactions can only be done for content already a part of the game, while ads serve content outside the scope of the game.

  So this is much much more enforceable for Valve, while DLC and microtransactions marketing is already subject to the established rules on Steam.

  I agree with your points, but what do you think are some of the specific things Google or other similar tech companies in such a similar capacity could realistically and meaningfully do object the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine?

  I would like to learn more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Though to be fair cringe is like right in the very blood to Google anyway so what would you expect…

  I mean, just look at how they often respond on their bug tracker platform of most of their products and how they try to justify their endless streams of questionable design decisions, that seems to be characteristic of them at this point lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So they are aware of how terrible ads are and they intentionally want to keep it this way, so that they can sell advertisers “better ads” for higher premium as a form of product and price diversification, with those “better” products they offer eventually end up being terrible and make the ads situation as a whole worse, so they can keep introducing new kinds of “better ads” product to have a “justified” way of asking even more money from advertisers?

  What exactly happened to the DVDs in the basement? That’s really interesting, indeed DVDs also claimed 100+ years of life span, but as you can see that’s only the theoretical maximal in perfect conditions, which don’t exist in real life, and the same thing happened to your DVDs can happen to Blu-Ray disks too

  Wow today I learned that’s actually a thing!

  Not to mention Valve spearheaded major development for making Linux gaming like 200% better than it used to be, with development of Proton and everything, and giving all those work back to the entire gaming community as open source products entirely for free, bring in momentum for an entire industry.

  That’s a company you support.

  I’m sorry but if I’ve already paid $60 for a video game, I shouldn’t also be required to make a friend just to be able to experience the entirety of the content this game offers, in the manner it was originally intended to be experienced.

  a mess

  Is that supposed to be a British way of spelling “disaster”?
