Nordic countries have better safety nets.

I haven't travelled there but I grew up in Poland and still visit. US feels very capitalistic to me. I feel the pace is slower in Poland. In US I feel the need to produce. Might be just me.


This is how I feel as a Canadian. It's just a border between us, we've got issues of our own but on one side life seems much more transactional and individualistic in a somewhat repulsive way. I'm sure it's not unique to them, and I'm sure it's not uniformly pervasive. I rarely feel like a true foreigner while I'm in the country, but there's just this unsettling feeling of distrust coupled with a drive to consume that I don't feel when I'm north of the border.

As a parent, most parents are trash. I don't know why, maybe it's capitalism, laziness, low iq, poor education, poor role models, trying to make kids happy and allowing whatever they want? Idk.

The amount of terrible parenting I have witnessed in 5 years of my child's life....is...terrifying. I could write a book about.

One small story, we attend a kids party, the kids are 4 year old. This lady comes with a child, the child misbehaves terribly, I have to tell him not to do things because he is hurting other kids. The mother makes a statement, "I love these parties my kid can play and I can have pizza and hang out for 2 hours without having to watch him". You can't make this up.

The moral of the story is, that if AI will keep kids occupied many parents will allow it. They don't think, "will this have a negative impact on my child"?


> I could write a book about.

You should - Perhaps it can gain notoriety and start waking people up to their bad habits. I've witnessed so much terrible parenting both in public from strangers and from people I know. It's unfortunate how easy it is for anyone to have a kid, qualified or not.


Suggest a chart doesn't allow for selection of other countries not already present it seems like.

Otherwise, very nice project.


Thanks! The suggest feature should allow to add lists for new countries (just need to change the type): https://88mph.fm/suggest Let me know if it doesn't work for you

Ah it does! My attention span has been ruined.

While I don't think violence is always the answer, and I definitely don't support Iranian regime, I don't disagree with the statement an eye for an eye.

People and nations should expect that an attack will be met with an attack.

If a bully is hitting someone, one of the most effective ways of stopping it completely is hitting back.


You must likely end up on an list somewhere. I would not be concerned with getting in trouble unless one shares stuff.


As someone with unsupportive family, I feel this.

I have a single child, we both work. It is tough.

I grew up in a small town in EU, my parents had a lot of help from their parents and I was able to play outside with friends early on. Everyone knew each other. My life in the US is nothing like this.

The first 5 years, I've spent $100k on daycare, and this is relatively "affordable".

I try to be an active and involved parent, add home projects/maintenance, and other things like health issues and I have zero energy and a lot of burn out.

When I was younger I did not understand why people stick around jobs for long. Now, I do.


I mostly agree with doing something to create revenue from free users....however, I have 0 faith that this will not seep into paid part of the service.


I can confirm this.

Honestly, I am really surprised this is a top comment here. This was an extremely easy work around. We are all mostly curious nerds here.

All this work because one couldn't google a easy work around?

Last time I tried Linux it sucked for gaming and I've spent hours trying to install a printer.

Not to excuse Microsoft in this situation, Linux is obviously more open.


I can't speak to gaming but i was warned about printer issues as well. However after a hasty switch from win10 to xubuntu to save my phd work i was able to get the office printer working on ubuntu that i could never print to on windows. Sure, i installed a driver but the dialogue literally directed me to do so. My jaw hit the floor when the test page came out flawless.


Yah, I feel like Linux was way worse with printers in the past.. now the story is more like: you'll have a different set of printer issues across the major OSes but no OS is clearly better or worse.


When was the last time you tried any of that on linux? Printers have been plug and play(which is impressive considering the hoops I had to jump through on windows) and with advent of proton, there's been no game I've played that's had any issues


It has been a few years to be fair. However, back when I ran into the issue people said the same thing.

I might try it on one of my older laptops which are in the closet.


An anecdote about printers: I was just trying out Linux Mint from a live USB when out of nowhere appeared a popup that a Brother printer was ready for use. Turned out my significant other had switched on the WiFi printer in the other room. I really had to laugh out loud about how unexpectedly easy that was.


Linux has been good for gaming for years now. I think I switched 4 or 5 years ago, and in all that time I've almost never had problems running games.


Steam now supports 1 click install of its entire library windows and Linux native and the majority work. The majority of printers either work or do not. It's not a reasonable expectation that all hardware will work but you won't need hours of work either.

MS is free to deprecate your work around any given Tuesday when you have work to do leaving you in the same spot with less time available to do anything about it.

You are wrongly assessing the value of the alternatives to boot if you think they were just too stupid to google. Based on the article they already viewed Windows negatively prior to this and thus already had a motivation to switch.


Which still leaves you in a state that at any time your OS stops updating because they decide to close the "loophole" or remove the "feature"


This administration is awful and yes they are serious. Listening to the speech yesterday was infuriating.

I wish I could ignore all of this because I am tired man.


You had me until, "no homework assignments". I am a lazy dev man. I like programming so I don't have to repeat tasks.

I would not survive without homework. I needed that extra push in school. Otherwise, I would have been doing something else.


I was lazy. I had perfect scores on all of the exams in one class, but never did the homework, so even though I knew the material, I got a "C".

F homework.
