My foss alternative was an English class

Usually not foss and rather expensive.

Not really. There's even English classes in remote Africa. It's FOSS because textbooks and dictionaries exist.

Dunno where you live where textbooks are free and not proprietary.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They're not free, they're accessable.

Do you know what FOSS even means?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good bit, spelling accessible wrong was the cherry

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Were you trying to make a point or just gave up, because I've literally never seen anywhere without free education. Unless you're talking about higher education which isn't being discussed here.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago

Ah, you took the bit too far, brevity etc. 6/10

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you got free schooling? lucky bastard

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

First time I've heard someone say they're jealous of an America's free schooling system lol. Even in deep Africa villages they have free schooling systems, so idk where you are where that doesn't exist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
