Former (Dutch) teacher here! Diary of a wimpy kid is easy reading for a lot of kids and I always found that the really engrossing books could help them move on to their actual reading level. For my students who liked comic mischief in class, I could always get them hooked to reading with The Saga of Darren Shan.

Don’t let the ‘horror’ genre fool you: the story is dark and funny. Based on the books you named I think your kid might love it!

Same for me!

Did I meet those potatoes before?

So happy that this got implemented, thanks!

That was fun, thanks! I made it till rule 24 on my phone. I give up haha

Thank you, I think you are right. The comments on my comment have been nothing but helpfull and kind. It’s really encouraging for a new Lemmy-user like me!

I did not know. Really kind of you to take the time to react on my comments and giving all these suggestions, cheers!

Thank you and thank you so much for the prompt as well, you are so kind! :)

I did it! Or something like it, I learned about DNS and I installed the AdGuard app and begun my free trial period :) Thank you!

Thank you! I will start by searching what DNS is 😁

Thanks, that’s really kind :)

Ah thanks! I just switched to Firefox and Duckduckgo as search engine because all the comments on privacy here on Lemmy. I will check Brave out as well!

Not technical at all, I work in Learning & Development at a company. I am always reading the comments and try to learn, but sometimes I have really no clue what you guys are talking about haha!

Yesterday someone was expleaning about adblocker and all the comments were like: “Yeah, who can live without it…” Well, me I guess? And I saw one that was highly recommended so I downloaded it, because why not try it out right? But apparently it’s not for your phone. Or I didn’t have the right app to support it on my phone.

I was thinking about asking it in the comments of the thread, but like you said: I think a lot of people here have a tech background and although everyone is very nice, I think the explanation might go over my head.

I don’t want to give people the feeling I get when I’m trying to explain to my mom over the phone how she can e-mail a file on her computer. It can be very frustrating ;)

I’ve been trying to figure out Lemmy since the black-out and I find this very helpful. Thank you!
