It is, but it's a use case that has a shitload of money behind it.

Do you know why we have had reliable e-commerce since 1999? Porn websites. That was the use case that pushed credit card acceptance online.

The demand is so huge that firms would rather stumble a bit at first to save huge amounts for a bad but barely sub-par UX.

Holy shit. Yes, it does. Thanks! Hadn't heard of it until today

A live action Jungle Book implies the possibility of a live action Tale Spin. Let's get some bears in some pilot seats, Disney!

Because it's an option already. "Transliterate to Latin letters."

Edit: I should add that you should look at how many keyboard layouts there are. It's kind of silly that for me to use an OSM based map and go to any county east of Slovenia I need to both have the keyboard AND know the transliteration of the alphabet.

Have you seen the Armenian or Georgian alphabets? What makes the K sound?

Did you know every dialect of a Slavic language using Cyrillic has it's own distinct keyboard varied by mostly the letter for the nya sound and J?

Greek?

All while transliteration works fine in Google.

Destination search in all the OSM based maps is a challenge. The Latin letter transliteration only applies to large features. So if I want to find an address in a country try that doesn't use Latin script, I literally need a keyboard in that language or do a lot of cut and paste from Google Translate. My address never, ever works on OSM. Gets the wrong street, can't even handle house/building numbers. Works fine on Google.

Not all states. Fewer do this than don't, IIRC.

Depends on the person. My spouse and I, along with 5 or 6 friends, use a variety of key words from a couple shared languages to talk about things when we don't want other to understand. Mostly haggling or talking about sales stuff to discuss if we like something or think it's too expensive when a human is hovering right there. So I can give body language of disappointment while saying "this is great."

That sounds boring AF.

This 100%.

Wealthy people essentially pay staff to do make things happen for them, and those staff don't sign up for IG or FB stressing abou making sure to use their ONE email like [email protected] for everything.

PA staff are both IT staff and human password managers, creating and curating massive sets of logins that are functionally disposable. With enough clout and money, if you DO have a problem with a social media platform, or your phone number, a PA calls an Executive CSR and sorts out the problem.

So it's that their "privacy" is masked by the haphazard way they interact with things that track them. For them, tracking them is security to ensure you know who they are so that have a frictionless experience. If they want a dummy account to creep on people or be a perv, they get that easily, too.

My only regret is not buying more Euros at $1.11/€1

Anyone know what Linux distro? I assume Ubuntu...

Yes, from a general misunderstanding of how microwave ovens work, and what "radiation" was during the 1960s and 70s.
