You are right on those points, but it’s always easier to police/regulate local corporations than foreign ones since you have more tools at your disposal.

With foreign networks, you can only really levy fines and ultimately threaten to ban them from the country.

I mean, I know this won’t be a popular opinion, but it’s a huge security risk to allow any non-european social network.

In that case every country would add up to 100%, since the top category is “10 books or more”.

It can vary depending on the context, but essentially it just means that you can only read/write at a fairly basic level.

For instance, imagine someone who reads at a 4th grade reading level. They can get through basic aspects of life, but get totally lost/overwhelmed if they are presented with anything more complex. For instance, they wouldn’t be able to comprehend most official letters. (Thus is especially an issue in Germany since Amtsdeutsch seemingly tries to be intentionally complex…)

They are effectively locked out of most modern jobs, because they can’t parse emails effectively or formulate a fitting reply.

It’s also something that people are generally very self-conscious about and get pretty good at hiding.

I use freesync on my monitor between 48 and 144 hz.

The range depends on the specific monitor.

It’s been years since I had to deal with MATLAB licenses, since basically everything in scientific computing/data science uses Python these days!

The target use case for large SD cards is high-resolution video recording.

Recording at 4k+ eats up space faaaaast. So you need both large-capacity as well as fast storage.

KDE: traditional desktop environment with focus on lots of customization, options, and features. Often aimed more towards enthusiasts or everyday users who want the latest features.

GNOME: non-traditional desktop focusing on simplicity. Designed to be used a very specific way to maximize productivity. Often aimed more towards corporate or professional users.

Mint uses their own desktop environment (cinnamon) which is somewhere between the two.

All of these are nice in their own way, you just need to find which one you like best!

Yeah to be honest, the biggest takeaway for me is that many of these are crazy low relative to the power they have…

If you underpay public servants, you either end up with terrible public servants, those who are good at finding ‘other’ sources of income, or both.

I know right? I always bought Logitech specifically because it always ‘just worked’ everywhere for me.
