In fairness the question is open to interpretation. They don't specify if they mean western or eastern Arabic numerals.

As schools in the west already teach western, the people responding could justifiably deduce that the question is referring to eastern.

Could it also be to do with the increased lethality of SUVs? A study in Ireland shows 11.5% of pedestrians hit by an SUV were killed versus 4.5% for a car.

No law is perfect and there's always an edge case to provide a reason for doing nothing. This is definitely a step in the right direction to stop the arms race that purchasing larger vehicles has become though.

What mistakes? The ultra rich have a great life in the US. He's just serving his own interests. But remember you're poor because of immigrants! /s

I'm in the exact same position as you and take the same approach. It's a hill I'm getting a mildly stubbed toe on.

As well as the tracking data there's also the loss of advertising revenue that would be generated via the official app. I don't remember ever seeing adverts in boost.

Good point. They are pretty cheap to construct. All in less than €400 per unit but will take a few hours each to build.

Agreed, I've just stopped logging in. I'm not even going to bother deleting posts but I've moved. There's no hope I'm gonna start using the official Reddit app.

I do miss a few subreddits but Lemmy has plenty to keep me busy during my toilet breaks.
