Twitter has always been garbage but now it’s way worse than ever before

I don’t know why suddenly the bar for comparison is the world generally decades ago. We were comparing countries. My point stands, most European countries have higher smoking rates than in the US. Even if there are a few exceptions.

Not sure where you’re comparing to but compared to the US the difference is stark. I expect to see the occasional smoker on your average US city block, but in Europe it feels like I cannot go outside any building without the doors being surrounded by smokers. Anecdotally my experience is very different to yours and also this map indicates my experience is not isolated. Compared to the US just about all the European countries have a higher density of smokers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_consumption_by_country

I will say that in the rural US the smoking rate “feels” higher than even the European countries I’ve visited. Maybe you’re from the rural US? It feels like the rate in US cities is extremely lower than in the rural south

Get laid

You went and counted the words. That says more than I could

You just confirmed what I said. “One of the safest”

And yeah you wrote way more shit than you should ever expect people to read. Maybe abstain from writing 10,000 words ever but especially if you’re wrong

I didn’t read this novel but you’re arguing nicotine isn’t unhealthy and that makes you wrong

Have you been literally anywhere in Europe? Smoking is not a dinosaur waiting to die

That’s interesting. Learn something new every day. Thanks

Ah, yeah I normally would only need to do that in the context of signing a contract, which I do using Gimp or Photoshop.

‘computers were invented in America’ is rather a stretch.

Which is why no one said that. I read most of the article and I’m still not sure what you were annoyed about. I didn’t see anything US-centric, or even anglocentric really.

Depends on the platform I’m on. There are so many options. SumatraPDF on windows, whatever default app pop os has, preview on Mac, builtin android PDF viewer. I assume you’re on windows because you mentioned acrobat. There are several options beside sumatra. I think many are decent.

Png is not always lossless. It also supports compression. But your point stands, it’s not the best compression

Why would you use acrobat? I haven’t used it in many years and use PDFs all the time

Where were computers invented in your mind? You could define computer multiple ways but some of the early things we called computers were indeed invented in the US, at MIT in at least one case.

What a stupid argument

You’re pitiful

I’ve yet to see anything but posts about this issue, so I’m confused by comments like this. I’m a daily user some days heavily and have been for a couple months.

I don’t see how it’s contradictory in any way

Liking FOSS and the ethos behind it doesn’t at all mean you are required to be a zealot who only accepts that. Further, your claim that gaming on Linux without proton is easy is just flat out wrong.

Are you really curious or do you just want to hate on steam for paragraphs? Because I love FOSS too but I find your tone and post in general to be annoying and obtuse.
