➡️ Take a typing test here (and you need an actual, physical keyboard for this):

The industry-standard benchmark used by employers and typing certifications worldwide.

➡️ 'Typing classes' refers to computer skills classes you might have had in school; you can also count games or other related typing training your parents might have had you do.

➡️ Across 3 different typing test websites*, the (english language) world average typing speed is 40 WPM.

OP: The carp leaping over the dragon gate 鲤鱼跃龙门 is a classic Chinese folk symbol. It stands for people overcoming hardships to achieve success. We often use it to wish others a bright future and smooth progress. If you spot a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, good luck will come your way.

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

cheers

Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

🐈‍⬛ Cat lovers(&all animal lovers) around the world, please support 🐾˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

Hello, animal lovers♡ I'm Aya, a guardian of 6 cats.

Let me share the problem about cats occuring in Japan.

According to Animal Acution Fund (公益財団法人どうぶつ基金), currently, in Japan, the Ministry of the Environment is trying to designate Ieneko (domestic cats and stray cats in the neighborhood) as "alien species to promote control".

Despite the lack of evidence that cats are causing the decline of rare native species, the government is trying to easily kill cats under the pretext of a World Heritage Site (especially in Okinawa and Amami).

The target includes not only stray cats, but also TNR cats and cats that go outside.

Even the cats kept entirely indoors, it become subject to extermination if they escape outside.

To begin with, cats are animals that cannot be designated as "Specified Invasive Alien Species."

Ieneko(domestic cat) is an animal that has lived with people in Japan for 2,000 years.

The Ministry of the Environment itself explains that the measures against alien species are mainly "living things brought in after 1868", so this does not apply to cats.

It is wrong thing animals that have lived with humans for 2000 years as targets for extermination.

Protecting rare native species is important, but the lives of cats are just as precious.

It should be carried out through this humanitarian and scientific method, not by taking lives.

It is wrong to blame specific animals for the ecosystems and nature that humans have destroyed.

There are no borders for cat (&animal) lovers. Please sign and convey your voice against it.

Thank you for your kindness to read this long post.

♡ from Tokyo, Aya & 6 ex stray cats.
