I don’t get the impression there are even precise definitions of these generational labels.

And I don’t think they make any sense at all outside of USA and maybe west Europe.

So, uh, what is the difference?

:(

Is this how you get boipregnant??

Idk I just thought those goth wristbands look cool

This reminds me of the anti-wind-energy arguments about the turbines killing many birds…

once you get into your 80s

Thank you for being so optimistic :)

I am somewhat forgettable in general, I guess. Or just disorganised. But I don’t think remembering such a thing is any sort of mental effort, surely people memorise it spontaneously?

Not AI (existed back in 2022), but now that I look at it more closely I see it’s at least partly photoshopped, as the comments on reddit point out. :(

I’m really hooked to this sub

The original sub was r/195, as it was started by roommates whose room number was 195. Then later for whatever reason appeared the spinoff r/196 and got more popular than the original.

Like I’m 80% sure that this is how it happened and that it’s not semi-made-up by myself because I misremember the story…

If only they on reddit were so smart to check such stuff before sending the email. I also got the email here in EU and I never used VPN in my life.

Nothing. Though I don’t think there are any special requirements for one to be in the audience anyway.

Let’s be honest people’s brains absolutely can turn off when they appear on a quiz. It’s a weird and stressful situation. Especially if you remember that all of your mistakes will be broadcast to millions of people and commented on and intensely scrutinized.

Native speaker here, never had any issues with this or any other common homophone in English.

Ok? I didn’t say all natives make such mistakes, it’s just that they’re substantially more prone to make them, “by design”. Non-natives will make various spelling mistakes too, just of different sorts, rarely those based on homophones.

“Learning by ear” is just another excuse for laziness and/or ignorance

But that’s how every native language is learned, it’s not “laziness”. You listen to your parents and learn to speak years before you develop usable reading abilities. Writing is learned afterwards, and largely bases itself on your knowledge of the oral form of the language. This applies to any language written in an alphabet (i.e. disregarding Chinese and similar).

Pick up books, read extensively, and like anyone else not marinating in cultivated ignorance, you too can utilize the language effectively and correctly.

If this humble advice is directed at me - thanks a lot, but we’ve been talking about native English speakers, which I am not.

Non-native English speakers usually don’t make such mistakes. Natives write “by ear” (which is how you initially learn your first language), so they can mix up homophonic words, whereas non-natives usually learned to write at the same time as they learned to speak the language, and they also had the rules and words explained 100% explicitly from the start.

Simple Gallery hasn’t and couldn’t have received the privacy-intruding update yet, as its last update was in October, according to the data on Play Store, i.e. before the acquisition. People are complaining about Simple Messenger, for now.

My own install of Gallery is from F-Droid, just as yours, yet I don’t see it there anymore. It’s not visible on the F-Droid website, unlike e.g. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.keyboard/

Maybe you can see it if you’re using some repository other then the default one? Or your repository data hasn’t been updated recently? Idk, just guessing.
