That's a good solution, yes.

Though good luck convincing governments, that continue to cut funding for important social programs like these, to bother supporting minorities in schools.

I didn't know what picture to use, so I didn't bother. My picture on other platforms is my face, but I'm not going to use that here.

Schools teach their lessons in english.

When you have to pick a language to teach in, isn't this the best language to teach in though, in a predominantly English speaking society?

I don't think segregating classes into separate language-based ones would be a good idea. That leaves kids not speaking English at home nor at school in an even bigger disadvantage in terms of learning English and we need we need kids of all different backgrounds mixing together so that they may understand and accept one another.

You could use multiple profiles with Firefox Sync logged into the same account inside each profile, but turn off addon syncing?

Not tools personally, but multiple browsers. Firefox Developer Edition exists and uses its own profile, with its own set of add-ons. So I do my developing in that, and everything else in the normal version of Firefox that can be installed simultaneously just fine.

You could also just use Firefox profiles to do this.

Not sure if there's a scheme in place here in Scotland or UK, but I always get asked if I want a receipt or not for several years now. Receipts and plastic bags are only by request. The main exceptions seem to be restaurants and public transport.

However, my local supermarket has installed receipt scanning barriers at the self checkout - so those used to have optional receipts, but no longer. I guess profits before environment.

Yes! I had a passion for software engineering before university, honestly most of my applicable knowledge is extracurricular. However university gave me the accreditation I needed to actually get a good job and it taught me formal processes, diagrams, enterprise environments, project management.

I think most of all I benefited socially. High school was not good to me, I was bullied and unhappy. University really allowed me to come into my own and flourish, surrounded by nice, like-minded, open people. I learnt a lot for the better. I'm not sure I'd have very many friends today otherwise

I can lucid dream. Not always. And to varying degrees of success. The dream still has some control over me sometimes I and I can only do some things, like fly from danger, or decide to erase something that went wrong and do it again. Or just choose to wake up, that's quite odd.

But there are times where I have full control and it's god damn amazing. The ability to control space, time and narrative to my will and know there are no consequences, yet still feel like it's real, emotions, senses.

Though often the more I have control, the closer I get to waking up, so it can be short lived, plus it has led to sleep paralysis, so tread carefully. However a weird thing that sometimes happens is I know I'm about to wake up, so decide not to and just continue dream, it's very hard to achieve, but it's possible.

Strangely I don't have any techniques to lucid dream though, it's just an innate sense I developed as a child to combat frequent bad dreams.

Yeah, but you don't get organic conversation from that. If that's how you want it, that's fine and normal - but otherwise if you reply with a small honest answer that doesn't reveal too much, it doesn't put pressure on the other person to respond, but it does leave it open for them to. I just find it as a simple, somewhat unorthodox thing that does lead to better connections with people

I'm not autistic, but I got sick of this stupid expected "how are you?", "fine" nonsense. It's meaningless. Now I just give a quick honest answer. Nobody really finds it weird and it makes for much more engaging non-monotonous interactions.

You can even answer negatively if you manage to tone it right. "Eh, bit stressed", but then in a positive, non-confrontational, tone just add "but how are you?".

As long as you keep it brief, the other person can question it if they are genuinely interested, and then you can have actual conversation, or they won't if they're not really interested, it works fine either way.

Unless everybody fully customises the display and styling of the adverts for their own website, there's going to be some sort of targetable, recognisable pattern in the way AdSense content looks. Most developers just want an easy drop-in solution.

Furthermore, Google don't necessarily want to give you that level of control over the adverts, because that makes it easier to game the ads system with malicious, fake and misleading clicks or invisible adverts. They need their tracking tech attached to it.

And certainly now that I've fully left Reddit, I'm no longer spreading the word of Lemmy there
