so I originally got mine for my PC and that’s where I mainly use it, but I also use it with my Steam Deck sometimes via Bluetooth

I have the Epomaker EK68 and it’s a 65% sized keyboard so it’s smaller than a full sized one but not too tiny. I find it nice because it’s not TOO compact but can slip into a backpack without taking up too much space. It can connect with USB, dongle, or Bluetooth and switches between them with a little switch on the back. It’s mechanical and you can swap the key switches for whatever type you want

Overall not too expensive either

I think it’s a joke about people sitting outside at cafes in Europe?

I’ve heard this is a thing a lot of Americans find weird but I’m American and it’s not weird at all to me, we do literally the same thing here (at least in my home state)

Context was that I just saw this from the back seat of a taxi in Kazakhstan while I was visiting, thought it was funny that it had a baby chair strapped to it and took a photo

The sign is in Russian and says for sale for 55,000 Kazakh Tenge

That’s 55,000 Kazakh Tenge ($100 roughly) I took this photo in Almaty, Kazakhstan

And yes absolutely the safest way to bike with a baby

Yeah I’m new to Lemmy, myself and this is really my only complaint. There’s some things that I’m interested in that just don’t really have an active community on here at all

I’m liking it here so far so I’m going to try to do the same and post more actively, I mostly lurked when I was on Reddit

I had the same problem when I started learning Russian and honestly the only thing that helped me improve was just speaking and writing in Russian more

the grammar is also really hard, but I found it best to just not overthink it and just get used to speaking and making mistakes but improving over time. It’s easier to focus on correcting grammar when you’re more comfortable just constructing sentences in that language in general and don’t have to think as hard for each word you want to say

I’ve been learning Russian for a few years, I’ve also started learning Serbian and Ukrainian a little bit.

I can speak Russian pretty decently, it’s my girlfriend’s first language so I’ve had a lot of regular practice with it, I don’t consider myself fluent at this point but I can hold conversations with native speakers without too much of an issue

With Ukrainian I can understand quite a bit but I haven’t had much practice speaking it with other people at all yet. I have the basic phrases memorized, things like привіт, будь ласка, доброго ранку, добрий вечір, дякую, як справи, etc. but I don’t think I could hold a conversation speaking only in Ukrainian. I’ve been studying it kind of off and on for a year or so, and I listen to some Ukrainian music fairly often

Serbian I’ve been struggling to learn, I’ve been working on it for about 5 months. I think learning Russian first made it weirdly harder since the sentences are structured fairly differently. When it’s written, I can understand quite a bit, but if someone walked up to me and just started speaking Serbian I’d be completely lost
