It’s really not that expensive in comparison, especially when you count the tourism factor which is absolutely significant.

Go to London, or Copenhagen, or Stockholm, and see the Changing of the Guards. Do that on any random Tuesday - and notice the crowds of people that watch.

And, as has been said already, at least in Scandinavia the monarchs have high cultural value and are very well liked, on top of having important roles in keeping government going. They aren’t freeloaders, and there isn’t a huge upper class attached.

This Dane agrees with you.

That won’t do much good because I’m in an obscure small country.

But it won’t work on your dad’s stock Samsung Galaxy, right?

Twice I’ve had the real pleasure of this. A business had hired a headhunting firm, and I applied for that job. They did it so well thrt next time I wanted a job, I called up the guy from that headhunting firm and asked them to place me. They found a great match.

Exactly reversed of Excel. I wonder why the did that? I can’t imagine it’s not deliberate.

I know this is a tiny detail but you know how it’s like a tiny splinter you can’t pull out - not a big problem but an ongoing bother.

Ctrl-Enter to save a cell without leaving it? Ctrl-D so fill down? Double-click cell corner to fill down?

Is Calc still useless compared to Excel?

That’s an interesting one. A blind person can easily describe things using the words they learnt, just like we do. A cube is still a cube even when you can’t see it, because you can feel it so you can agree about its shape.

Color blindness is different. My friend is a graphical designer, and he chooses interesting and unusual color combos. He is red/green color blind; both look the same to him. (Fun aside: he is also a taxi driver.) Now, obviously red and green are components in the colors he uses, so what color does he actually see?

We cannot explain colors to each other because it is always in reference to some other color, which is also changed in his vision, and maybe not to the same degree as pure red or green. What color is an orange? We both know without looking, but his perception is different from mine. He would need to not be color blind to become able to describe to me how different he sees stuff.

Yes, and you need the subscription. There’s only a yearly plan.

What would be the point? That’s just staying on Windows, with extra steps and lower performance.

Just the name itself sounds like an an angsty teenage dream. Not really selling it there.

Notepad++ has a plugin that makes it the default even for things that would normally be go to Notepad.

Stupid, lazy, overworked, underskilled - it must have been easier to raise us who are adults now, pre Internet, than it is to raise our kids today. And I repeat, tech is not the solution.

Full encryption means privacy. From everyone. For everyone. Please explain to me why that should not be given to minors?

In my view, protecting children online is not inherently a tech problem. It’s a part of parenting.

US LEO are the real ones. In UK+EU they really aren’t murderous villains, many don’t even carry a gun.

And politicians don’t murder, they just fleece us.

I see what you did there 😄
