Maybe the idea of PeerTube is a lot nice than the user experience? I can't say, I haven't tried PeerTube. I feel like this is pretty common when it comes to avoiding big tech though. When Github was bought out by Microsoft I we

I'm curious about your experience, do you actually feel like you are seeing green, or do you just know that green is the correct answer? We had a bunch of different candies on the table at game night and I gave my friend some M&Ms,

I try to use this but I reliably end up getting the wrong word, which leads to some strange swypo typos. Here's a quick test, what I wanted to type on top and what came out on bottom: "I'm a good singer" "In a good

My last job was in the online learning space. In my final interview with the company owner I brought up my worries about this very thing, he looked at me concerned and asked what my side project was about. When I told him it was something

I don't know about this particular case, but direct and clear can be read more like "accusing" depending on your culture. I think this reads more like "hey is everything okay?" than "why are your numbers dippi

I agree, it drives me nuts when I see bad hot takes on the English language by Anglophones. Articles in English about English are more often than not egocentric and short sighted. I heard an Englishman quip that English is the only languag

I suspect I'm not the only one who was introduced to vim because it's the default for git. This alone makes it good CS101 stuff. I don't think they really advocate for vim to be your daily driver for all editor needs. Just

This is descriptive vs prescriptive linguistics. It's up for debate whether or not using emojis as hieroglyphs is a problem.

I agree that it would be a more apt comparison if the original band-aid color where neon pink, or some other non-human-skin-tone.

Where I'm from the catholic churches offer the most prestigious high school educations because their cost is similar to college. They in no way offer a better education, it's just a paywall to keep your kids surrounded by like-mi

I was acutely aware of how my commute was affecting my lifestyle before WFH became widespread, if you think the only difference is waking up 10 minutes earlier you've lost your mind. You are the one generalizing here.

I just went through a round of job hunting and got plenty of private sector responses using a latex-made PDF. My resume is really not obvious that it was made in latex though.

I'm sorry but in the face of an overwhelming consensus amongst scientists I think we'll need more than a blog post full of unsupported claims if anybody is to reconsider their position.

Yeah if you've gone through the trouble to learn vim you're probably okay with tweaking some shell defaults as well. If you're not comfortable in the shell at all it's much better to get tossed into nano than it is vim.

I thought I had to buy Stadia to Pro to play any game. This isn't the case. There was a game I wanted to play, it doesn't run on Linux, I bought it 50% off on Stadia and I'm a happy user. I'm not going all in on Stadi

"o-nii-chan" is a great example of translation difficulty because it's very natural in Japanese to refer to your older brother as "o-nii-chan" and it sounds like bad exposition writing in English.

でしょう roughly means "don't you agree" or "I agree", I didn't play the FF games so I don't have enough context to translate its original meaning here. 手に入る literally translates to "put into hand",
