And yet, in non-English speaking countries, virtually every kid is taught English to a level that's at least "roughly business".

I also reject your premise of 8 hours / day for a year; how about 1-2 hours / day for 4-8 years.

In the case of English, school kids would get more like 2-4hrs per week and be perfectly fluent after a couple of years, btw.

a number of these things are actual security exploits

yes, sure, but in the sense of "social engineering the slopbot", not "there's a vulnerability in [x] which does not apply proper sanitation to non-body text content before evaluating it"

Ah, makes sense. My mind was going more towards actual security exploits, but... yeah. Makes sense.

Anyways, thank you Flere-Imsaho, I will never not love seeing your username on here.

I'm apparently too ~~out of coffee~~ dumb to properly get the joke. What's the implications if some system parses the PNG text chunks in the same way it does the body of the email?

Let's hope the same thing will happen if/when the US tries to take Greenland; but honestly, I'm not optimistic. At least here in Germany, politicians and businesses are so used to licking the US' boot that I have a hard time imagining a seismic shift. Not to mention that thanks to our dependence on US software, we're incredibly vulnerable.

Still. One can hope.

Mein feuchter Traum ist ein Verbot nicht-chronologischer Feeds auf Social-Media-Plattformen, die unter den DMA fallen

Yeaaaaah I saw that on the schedule and decoded to not go, lol.

That's awesome! I have kinda-ish similar goals. Want to try N4 in October (well... Goal is N3, realistic is N4). Not half as far as you with Kanji though.
