Tried this with german as native language and greek as language I want to learn.
First question: Wie steht es um Ihr Greek?
Greek is obviously the english and not the german name of the language. But "Wie steht es um Ihr Griechisch?" wouldn't be grammatically correct either.
FYI greek has a good introductory course by Language Transfer, from which you can graduate to textbooks (available from rutracker) and ChatGPT for practice and OCR. I also maintained decent retention by converting everything I learned into Anki cards. Living in a greek-speaking country helps, but only when you are forced to communicate in EL or when you explicitly ingest new words/phrases from what you read around. Before that, I used Duolingo for the same purpose, had issues keeping the streak up and understanding the material (this was early ChatGPT era, though).
Inventing implicit promises and then wondering whether they're broken by mistake or on purpose is not a good way to understand people. When people move, it's not because they want the exact same community they had before. People move from twitter to bluesky because they want a different community. People take vouchers for market rate housing because they want their kids to grow up in a different community.
I'd expect the website for a design system to look beautiful (or oddly satisfying, if that's the goal here) but this one doesn't. Tailwind's website looks better.

All other browser I've tried (firefox, vivaldi, edge, safari, atlas, many others) and all other programs with a tab-based UI I use (zed, vs code, sqlitebrowser) look worse.

Both you and the poster could both be correct.
Looking good and being a poor interface are unrelated.
IOW, something could look absolutely beautiful and still have a nightmarish UI.
"Looking pretty" is subjective. Being a good UI is objective.
Reminds me of how like 10 years ago there were the fanbois who wanted to do their cars in Material Design or tatto Material Design on their face and such.
Yes, people who disagree with me about which program has the best implemention of a tab-based user interface remind of people who tattoo things on their face as well.
> Some such clichés are not inherently terminating, and only become so when used to intentionally dismiss, dissent, or justify fallacies.
How do you parse this sentence? Dismiss, dissent or justify fallacies? The fallacies are being dismissed, dissented (from?) or justified with a thought terminating cliché? So, the fallacy is the thought that's being terminated with the cliché?
The sentence would make grammatical sense if you remove the comma between dismiss and dissent, so that the thought terminating cliche dismisses dissent or justifies fallacies, but that only leads to more fundamental questions: Why do intentions matter? How could a cliche not be inherently thought-terminating? Are there different kinds of clichés, some thought-terminating, others thought-inspiring, or does the intention make the same cliché thought-terminating or thought-inspiring?
> Some such clichés are not inherently terminating, and only become so when intentionally used to dismiss something, to dissent, or to justify fallacies.
The fact that “dissent” is an intransitive verb is an important clue. You can’t dissent fallacies. You can only dissent from something.
> First came the infamous infinite scroll. I remember feeling uneasy the first time a web page no longer had a bottom. Logically, I knew very well that everything a browser displays is a virtual construct. There is no physical page. It is just pixels pretending to be one. Still, my brain had learned to treat web pages as objects with a beginning and an end. The sudden disappearance of that end disturbed my sense of ease.
Your brain was wrong. And my fingers were hurting (and are hurting when I use websites without infinite scroll, like Hacker News).
Instead of giving parents vouchers, that they then use at a fraudulent daycare, in exchange for a fake job, while they take care of their children at home, parents should just get money, so that they can stay home taking care of their children if they prefer that.
Everywhere I have ever lived in the U.S. has had public Kindergarten. I assume this is probably a regional difference in terms, though? In the U.S. Kindergarten is just the grade before 1st grade. Any schooling/day care before that is usually called "preschool" and is often funded to some extent at the state level but if so is usually limited only to low income individuals.
