It used to be that kindle supported mobi not epub, now they are transitioning to support epub not mobi. This makes it even easier since most ebooks are epub, so now there's no need to convert in Calibre.

Yes, it's super easy. Amazon has an email address for your kindle, all you need to do is email the epub or pdf and it shows up on the kindle automatically. This is the first guide I found on Google. https://www.howtogeek.com/798894/how-to-transfer-epub-to-kindle/

It makes sense that they don't want to maintain 2 versions. What doesn't make sense is that when you ask it for an apt, instead of saying "this package isn't avalible as an apt" and maybe "by the way it is available as a snap if you want", it just installs the snap without telling you.

Sure, but it was made up that way for a reason

By the end of highschool you've mostly stop dealing with numbers and moved on to algebra, which foregoes the confusion of PEMDAS. a+bc is very obvious.

In your example you lose distributivity. (2+4)2 is 22+4*2, which doesn't matter for numbers but it matters for algebra. If addition comes first then there's no way to represent distribution.

Other thing is also bad is not a good argument. You can reduce the amount of spying if you want to.

You definitely don't get experts from unemployed people, or from people working to the bone doing menial labor for minimum wage.

Education is a broad term, that could include apprenticeships where you do get real work experience. And education would have to change a lot in all areas. The point is, the government can support people to gain that experience, the problem is that right now it isn't. It's common to exit just a bachelors degree with crippling amounts of debt.

But they said unknown threat. Everyone knows that TikTok is a tool for CCP spying and propaganda, but somehow most of us don't care.

Education. If education was free this wouldn't be a problem, you could take a few more years at university to gain that experience instead of working in a junior role.

This is the problem with capitalism, if you take too much without giving back, eventually there's nothing left to take.

I don't want to be stuck in traffic, dependant on a car to go anywhere, and I like the freedom to go where I want, when I want, and how I want.

It sounds like your local public transport system sucks, I'm sorry about that. Hopefully your local government can find the funds to fix it.

"Something else sucks too" is not a good argument. Go make a fuck cruise ships community, I will gladly support it.

As I said, the convention is now x.field() not x.getField()

What language are you comparing against here? x.field[5] is valid Java if field is a public array, but that's not OOP, at least not in a pure sense.
