I think what is talked about is coutries like Poland where the currency is weaker than the $ but they still cave to pay more.Having to pay less when earning less is good but paying more while earning less is bad.And the problem with at least poland exists now for a few years
Edit: i should have first read the article. And ut was indeed about poland where they pay (converted) like 100 for a 70$ game while earning less
I have 7 names and i never met someone with my "callname" (its one part of a double name) but i got close to meeting one.I am pretty sure that my name is unique throughout history as the names are partly eurobean, partly jewish but also some rare.
The reason i have so much names is simple: my parents wanted their children to have choices as every child hates their given nameSo we got a few legit ones we could choose from.My older siblings got less and then gave me as much as possible because they thought i was going to be the last child.
My younger sibling got "just" 6
We also had a few rules for the names:
first name had to start with the first letter of my mothers last name (we got our fathers last name)
we had to have a name that starts with the first letter of my fathers last name
we all have the name of the "next best" (higher birthrate) deceased family member
For me its pretty fun to introduce with my full name as the faces stop getting more shocked after the fourth.Its especially daunting for people who have like 3 and think they have a lot
I personally embrace having a lot of namesI use it to get a positive first impressionI haunt people with the idea that if they are mean to me i only react when they either call me by full name or that i assign a different name on each weekday that they have to useAlso i can annoy people filling out lists with "how much name do you need? just the first or complete or what?"
It has its drawbacks because in case my name gets shortened in databases it gets mostly shortened to the first and then i see others with 3 names or something where the complete name is in there
Also with bureaucracy even when its fun its taking time which is less bad for me because i got used to it but still a drawback.
But at least other people only reacted positive to the amount of names as long as they did not have to write them down
Softmaker is libreoffice in word look, also proprietary but a better licence model.Its the next best thing to libreoffice for people who still wanna use word.
Its sad that you dont have the option because options are awesome but you still can try to use as much libre and software from better companies as possible
Not because of switching to linux but to take care of your data and getting resilient against enshittification
I dont think Bitcoin will survive the next 20 years as its becoming more and more unprofitable for miners as the reccource costs double every few years.I dont say it will crash this year or something but 20 is a bit much
Depends:single platform: there i talk mostly about features like no tracking and no ads but also add that there are less people but its still lively
Fediverse: "imagine you comment under a youtube video with your twitter account", then i add that i actuallynever did the equivalent but that its possible, then i rant about bsky not being decentralised (because DIDs) and its red flags, then go back explaining fedi and reference it to email
It becomes easier over time because you develop skill. And i think after starting the first ones where it feels like one mistake can make you loose fails on later ones do less damage
I would probably also include the wealth one owns and not just money (because thats useless, they would just use a different currency) and set it to like 40-50 houses in value. If they own a company that gets bigger the country gets shares
50 Houses might seem a lot in value (especially depending on what kind of building) but it already would distribute a lot of wealth + allowing the dream of being filthy rich with less consequences to the rest of the population
Because its just an idea i dont think about the specifics of the exact limit and such
I cant read it but i understand that the cat is a menace
