It also lacks the sugar content characteristic of juice

Well there you go. Hopefully they get around to overthrowing the mobile webkit overlords soon enough

Depends where you. In some places (I think it was Japan?) Apples practice of not allowing alternative browser engines was deemed anticompetitive and outlawed

Is it a design flaw? Or is it just false advertising? If I sell you a vacuum by telling you it can mop your floor, is the problem with the vacuum or the way I’m selling the product?

Yeah everyone seems out to get Firefox lately. I almost wonder if its the Chromium gang tryna slander the competition

I like learning new tech too, but if we’re being realistic then we have to admit that the fediverse will not grow unless we spoon feed it to people. Maybe we don’t want it to grow that much. That’s a conversation we could have. But we should acknowledge that there are tradeoffs here

It sucks and its at the point now where were hitting diminishing returns so I’m not sire if it sill get better

Who are they (if you feel continue sharing)? It sounds like there’s a story here

Okay. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked over there. Thanks for sharing.

So in high school languages are just an elective, not a requirement?

I see. That’s a little surprising to me. I didn’t realize that there is basically no language education there

There you go. So I think adding DMs to ActivityPub would add an extra level of convenience

That’s a distinction that only matters to nerds.

Luckily most of us on here are nerds so it’s all good.

Matrix is not really integrated into the ActivityPub protocol the same way DMs usually are. I would have to open a separate application to message you on Matrix, I can’t just click on your profile and shoot you a DM (or can I?).

I see thanks for clarifying

Do you guys not have any language classes in the public school system at all in the US? Not trying to be rude I just dont know how things work there

Same experience for me. Once in highschool (at an English speaking school) you could choose to branch off from French and learn either Spanish or Japanese (or all the above) if you wanted to.

Do Americans really not learn any other languages in school? I was under the impression that Spanish lessons were part of the public school system down there. I’m not trying to be rude I’m genuinely asking

These are good ideas. Hopefully something like that happens one day. In addition to events it would be nice if there were more in-person groups (eg for a class or local community group) that chose to connect online primarily through the Fediverse. You see that kind of thing happening with Discord. It would be good if we could do something similar here.

Well I think that would depend, right? If you’re from a region of the States where there’s more economic activity with Mexico, then sure it makes more sense to learn Spanish. But there are also areas in the States where you have comparatively more economic activity with Canada, then it makes more sense to learn French.

Can we at least agree that it makes more sense for an American to learn French than Portuguese, contrary to what was suggested earlier in the conversation?
