I grew up in Hungary and Germany, and lived most of my early adulthood in Hungary. Later in life I moved to Québec, where I reside now.
In Germany, I had English starting grade five.
In Hungary, Russian was mandatory until 1989. After '89 it was elective between Russian, German, English or, in some schools, French. I opted for German starting grade 6 at a German ethnicity school, but felt like it was a mistake, since I was already native level, but the (non-native) teachers kept trying to one-up me in their broken knowledge of the language. Starting grade eight I’ve transferred to a school that had Russian only, but since I had no prior knowledge of it, but already spoke German and English, I was exempted from it. In high school I’ve opted for English.
My kids go to French language schools in Montréal and have English as a foreign language. We speak English at home. Almost ten years in and I still don’t speak French. My kids don’t speak either Hungarian or German.
Just like the other Canadian poster’s daughter in this thread stated, my wife learned near native level French, even as a non-Québecois, simply on the premise of Canada supposedly being a bilingual country. This seems to hold a lot of truth in Ontario, Montréal and New Brunswick, but outside of these provinces and cities, it seems to be much more mono-lingual in practice. Montréal is truly wild though. People very often speak three or more languages here.


Sadly, AMD is in Israel as well, although to a lesser degree.

Remember the 1GB Gmail reaction? I remember:

Damn, this image can now drink alcohol in the US.


It’s almost like the corps are controlled by machines already!!


You are a normal user of sidewalks.


The phrase is “two sides of the same coin”. Meaning exactly what you are saying. That they are both the capitalist party. As opposed to another proverbial coin, that of the socialists, anarchists, Monarchist, etc.


You mean the two faces of the same fucking coin.


I last had to use the ODBC data sources file picker in 2016, so about ten years ago, in Win7. Completely forgot how much of a drag it was.


I’d be surprised if they followed the USB standards properly. I’ve had two kinds of these before, and they were sketchy at best, not offering the advertised data and power rates, nor working properly with custom firmware keyboards and KVMs.


Time to look for a new jerb.


Phones have wider reach. There’s more people doomscrolling on their phones on Instagram, Facebook and reddit, than there are on desktop. It’s a numbers game.


Proton VPN and Mullvad will likely have different use cases.


Despite this trope, public libraries usually don’t have a guideline or enforcement on noise levels.
But the developer was definitely using silent tactile switches.


I thought noscript had some controversy around it and everyone switched to uMatrix?
It’s already available and parents are not utilizing it.
But I also don’t see the problem with this. As long as there’s savvy and smart children that did get educated on safety, the knowledge can propagate to those that did not.
