What distro are you on? Some don't install all available KIO workers and you'll have to install them yourself.

Is this something that is likely to improve going forward?

Like any FLOSS project, things tend to happen when programmers decide to solve a problem for themselves. If you don't the the skills to do this, you could always bring it up on the KDE forum under the "brainstorming" category, submit a feature request on the KDE bug tracker, or sponsor a developer to perform the work.

I quite like Lexica.

Instagib is the only way to play!

(Addressing the US because I live there) Even people with "middle class" incomes are living paycheck to paycheck these days. How can you contribute to a 401k when you can't even maintain a balance in your savings account? Let alone other investments, etc, even if you do know what you're doing with the various financial instruments.

The cost of living is beyond the pale right now anywhere in the US where you actually stand a chance at making decent money, so your choices are to A: suffer now under severe self-imposed austerity, saving a pittance for retirement knowing that you'll still almost certainly wind up destitute in old age, or B: enjoy your youth to the extremely limited degree that you're able to, have the odd nice coffee or dinner with friends, and then also still become destitute in old age.

Frankly, a huge percentage of the US population are simply fucked, and given the political landscape where you are given a choice between the "do nothing" party on the center right and the "eat the poor: serfdom now" party on the far right, you can't blame people for having absolutely zero hope. As for me, I'm extremely privileged to be a dual citizen of the UK/US so I'm going to be running back to Scotland as soon as humanly possible. Come what may, at least Scotland's position on poor people isn't to let them die on the streets like it is here.

I've long maintained that if every US citizen got to experience the basic social safety nets that even the UK provides, politicians would find themselves strung up by their intestines in short order. I think people here just really lack context as to how truly distopian this country is.

Perhaps the very fact that you speak 2+ languages allows you to express yourself better in all of them.

It surely can't hurt.

Something in English itself, on a pragmatic level, might lead to poor communication.

I think this has a lot to do with:

A. The internet is swarmed with Americans, who have notoriously poor educational outcomes and low reading levels. This is not a dig; it's a fact.

B. The political climate in English speaking countries is absolutely insane right now and people are prone to get defensive, jump to conclusions, et cetera. This also comes through in non-political topics.

perhaps the burden should be put on the native speakers instead. This can be achieved by detaching what's to be considered "proper international English" from their native dialects.

Absolutely not. Forces in predominantly English speaking countries are already doing their damndest to eradicate English dialects and sister languages; speakers of AAVE, Indian English, Scottish English, the Scots language, et cetera, hardly need another force of cultural imperialism working to erase their culture or offering an excuse to shame them for speaking their own dialect. Linguistic prescriptivism is not the answer here.

The fact that English is so widely spoken is likely a part of the problem; a wide range of disparate features emerge in each place English is spoken. Americans in particular are abysmal, in my experience, at using context clues to interperet idioms or vocabulary they're not familiar with as they don't travel or engage with foreign media as often as citizens of other English speaking countries. This causes me problems daily in the US because I'm familiar with a few different dialects and I sometimes forget which phrases / words come from each. People here have great difficulty understanding even the slightest deviation.

I'm rambling a bit now, so I'll finish by saying that if a standard form of international English is out, it strikes me that English is probably just a poor choice for an international language; it has many flaws. (Even I can't quite explain to an English learner when and why to use "in" vs. "on" in a sentence) Something designed for the purpose is probably a better answer.

There is nothing like a poke of chips. Somehow, something so simple truly has no analog in the US. I really don't know what they do so differently.

Those chopsticks look like they could use being sanded + a touch of mineral oil.

What?

I've had this happen; it's a huge red flag. You have a right to privacy, whether or not you're in a relationship.

You could always use Yunohost - it makes things much easier.

Easiest way to get started at the moment (imo) is to go through the interview to get into MAM, get VIP status, then use the invite threads in the forum to access other trackers.

Now maintaining your ratio however... I'm having a hard time at Orpheus, with a seedbox.

Exactly. I once made a point about excessive indicators of visual / information hierarchy increasing cognitive load without additional benefit on a subreddit and got downvoted to oblivion. That was not my opinion; that's what industry research indicates!

Got to say though, I think GNOME is pretty, but a usability nightmare.
