It’s a nice thought experiment, but absolutely pointless.
Any warning about an unknown-to-us danger that is even just 500 years old or from a different culture is being treated like a superstition by us.
A good example of this would be the Yei River in South Sudan (and other areas along the equator) where the local tribes traditionally didn’t settle near the river because the river spirits didn’t allow it and brought misfortune and sickness to those who didn’t respect them.
Modern settlers disregarded that because it’s clearly unscientific, and rivers are great for trade and transportation.
And then the people living near the rivers started going blind, their children suffered from constant seizures and stunted development, and we still don’t have a cure.
Hi! My less-than-10-year-old has their own iPad (registered under my apple id) and wants to be able to “text” with the rest of the family. Most of us are not Apple people though: Android phones, using some combo of SMS, Discord, and Signal. The little one doesn’t have a phone, so I think that prevents us from signing them...
Telegram carries the risk of the kid stumbling into some really ugly communities on there.
I’d recommend Threema, but buying that for life costs as much as a cup of coffee, so hardly anyone can be convinced to use it.
In the past, you had to buy the book. Or go to the library to read it.
Both of which you can still do. And with a library membership you can access the web version as well.
How else do you expect the authors of the dictionary to pay their rent?
Russia was overestimated before they attacked Ukraine and underestimated before the Ukrainian counterattack.
Their strength lies in being able to throw 500000 bodies at an enemy without giving a fuck, and it’s currently working.
Quantity has a quality of its own.
Meme answer: maybe you shouldn’t have chosen Haiku OS.
Serious answer: I always advocate for everyone to use the OS that fits their use case.
What I want and need from an OS, Windows simply doesn’t offer but Linux does. So that’s what I use.
I’d never tell anyone that Linux is perfect, or that you should use it, or something like that. I’m just glad it exists because I need it, it’s so much better for my use case I can hardly believe it’s free, and it gets better every year.
They are neutered to comply with current hate speech laws, and the developers err on the side of caution cause they don’t have full control over the output for which they are legally responsible.

You’re not my mom!
(Seriously though, when I get a new phone I basically search for “google” in Universal Android Debloater and uninstall everything that pops up and isn’t in the “unsafe” category.)
On your commuter bike, use a dynamo hub and fixed lights, and always have them switched on.
You’re seen and noticed from further away, and in my experience are given more space on the road when you have lights on, even on a sunny day.
No, they restructured the organization in August of last year, due to EU sanctions on Russia. They’re now 100% owned by a British company that is 100% owned by a Singaporean one. Before that, they were based out of Latvia with development in Russia (which really doesn’t matter much since it’s open source) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice
Can only speak for Germany: Tips are kind of expected in sit-down restaurants with wait staff. Not tipping sends the message that you were unsatisfied with the service, and can lead to a second of silence before you’re handed your change and receipt. A 10% tip will have the waiter thanking you enthusiastically, and the normal range is somewhere in between (round up to the nearest sensible round amount).
