To be fair, it is harder for some people than others.

And that’s perfectly fine. Everyone has their own strengths and struggle areas.

Find the routine that works for yourself.

It’s a joke.

UTF-16 already exists, which doesn’t favor Roman characters as much, but UTF-8 is more popular because it is backword compatible with the legacy ASCII.

UTF-32 also exists which has exactly equal length representation for every character.

But the thing that equalizes languages is compression.

Yes, a text written in Cyrillic with UTF-8 will take more space than a Roman language, easily double. However this extra space is much more easily compressed by an algorithm like GZIP.

So after compression, the two compressed texts will then be similarly sized and much smaller than UTF-16 or UTF-32.

Recently saw the house Taylor Swift grew up in. Amazing mansion that would cost $2M in Canada or the Netherlands.

But it sold in 2022 in the USA for $800K.

The higher interest rates and property taxes keep the price of US homes a bit more reasonable than in Canada or the Netherlands.

And (as I understand) those are deductible for the income tax in the US, so working people have a tax advantage that investors don’t have.

In any case, taxing property and lowering income tax seems like it would help working people afford homes relative to investors. It seems like a politically good move, too.

One nice (yet sometimes annoying) thing about Lemmy is that you can have multiple communities of the same thing.

What I think will happen is that a few instances of Lemmy will become the big ones and their communities for memes, news and politics will dominate.

I can even see something happening to remove duplicates. Perhaps lemmy.world and lemmy.ml agree that /politics is on lemmy.world and /news is on lemmy.ml

App developers will make those default communities easy to find. Kind of like how reddit used to have 50 or so default sub reddits.

Less popular instances will have shadow communities that will be more difficult to find, but where there will be a more hardcore group of contributors and members.
