You know, everybody needs to learn sign language. It'll be a lot harder to deepfake that. 😋
@freemo It should be a required course in schools IMO. Just like a foreign language.
🇳🇱
@trinsec While I do think it should be offered as a language option when picking, I dont think it should be required beyond "pick any language, and sign language can be one of them"... Sadly im not sure its useful enough to obligate kids to learn it if they dont want to actually go into a field they need it.
@freemo I think it should be heavily encouraged in elementary schools, then they can pick it up in highschool if they want to continue. But at least they'd learn how to do basic signs and how to deal with deaf people besides the 'ick, eh, bye!' bullshit.
@trinsec I think basic signs, rather than full competency makes more sense.. They should really do the same for all languages. Teach kids like 30 words from a dozen languages in elementary school, including sign, that would be cool.
@trinsec Especially given the deeply weird fingers all the AIs seem to think we have. [shudder]
@trinsec yes agree, I started learning it about a year ago, and defenitly a lot of fun and a great addition to my social skills
This is Mur 
@trinsec
How long does it take to learn sign language?
@mur2501 Depends on how much you immerse in it, the lessons you get, etc. Just like any other language, really. Though some have difficulty with spatial languages (3D thinking) so I guess... it depends?
@trinsec I would love to, but aside from a brief moment as a child I have literally never had the chance to use it even once, which is a huge deterrant.
