Is there any evidence that this really matters on top of the protections and limits that are already built in and obscured from the user? There's such a cult around this feature, but I'm not convinced.

This is fascinating and very sad at the same time. I'm curious to see how reading is taught here in Germany once we have a school-aged kid.

One thing that sticks out to me is that apparently, teachers in the US tend to stick very close to the teaching materials they are provided (at least, that's how it sounds in this article and others I have read before). Growing up in Germany, it felt like teachers would customize their lessons more.

I don't think so, my point was that there's not only uncertainty in converting the idea to language and language back to an idea, but there's also uncertainty when transferring language from one person to another.

There's also the difference between what you think the words you say mean and what they understand from your words.

Keep it. I still have my uncle on Steam over 8 years later.

Not to mention all the people who don't even have an adblocker and for some reason don't seem to care that their web browsing is infested with ads.

There's a loo right around the corner, too

For a second I thought you were talking about masturbation.

Yep, I learned something new today.

That's a fine transformation.
