NeatNit

In many countries around the world it's the only way people communicate. If I want to keep in contact with my family (and I do), I have no choice but to use it.

I've tried to get them on Telegram or Signal, no luck.

And apps have to support it, which WhatsApp doesn't

Edit: I was wrong, see below

maybe they're serving different versions of the app to different regions or something. I am 100% sure this doesn't work for me.

Similar situation with WhatsApp on Android: you can't share images or videos without giving the app full access to your entire filesystem. You also can't video or voice call without giving the app full phone permissions.

Other apps happily let you do all of those things. You can just Share an image from some other app. But nope, WhatsApp just refuses.

I'll take it, and I stand corrected.

Awesome! I cross-posted this to !crossview@lemmy.world :)

My thoughts exactly lol

This is the second post in a row where I see Douglas Adams referenced.

I can see the similarity but IMO this isn't that close to Douglas Adams.

Edit: did DA make a lot of puns and wordplay? Specifically taking well-known phrases but using their literal interpretation?

too late at that point :)

Interesting list. My handwriting is mostly what's called "print handwriting" here, but my a and t are like the D'Nealian ones. And needless to say, my handwriting is not as pretty as any of these.

I never learned cursive, my native tongue uses an entirely different script, so for learning English as a second language, separate letters sufficed. This is what all cursive text looks like to me. I can never read it, even if I try really hard.
