  • why are website language switchers in the current language?

    Jump

  • Since Fairphone is Dutch it kinda makes sense they'd make this mistake. I suppose if you'd e-mail them about it they'd be open to making the change. They're probably not even aware of it.

    It gets more difficult if even the script is different. I once installed some Chinese app that would put the language picker in Mandarin and their symbols. I really didn't know how to change it to anything I could understand so I'd go by all of them one by one until I found a language I understood.

  • Which behaviour of your cat you hate most?

  • Getting upside down under our bed and using her sharp ass nails to move around the under side. She does this to tell us she's hungry. At 6 AM.

  • What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?

    Jump

  • Not sure what you mean by this. Are you just trying to gage some reason because it's a German company? They made heating pads, heated blankets, stuff like that.

  • Oh man, there's this German company Beurer that makes simple equipment for medical home application. They make this sort of zapper thing, which is battery oper and it just heats the shit out of a little ceramic plate. Put that on a bug bite, it heats away the irritation. No more itch, no more venom in your body, just gone.

    I am no longer careful around biting bugs. Keep in mind it's not supposed to work for stingers.

    I figured for 15 euros it'd be too bad if it doesn't work but I now can't imagine not having it.

    I've since also bought a TENS/EMS machine of theirs and a laser hair removal tool is underway for my wife.

    I completely trust this company based on just two products.

  • Are you learning another language? How far along are you?

    Jump

  • Portugal is a lovely country and I've decided to go visiting it a lot in my life. I feel more comfortable abroad if I at least kind of speak the language. English and German are no issue for me, French goes in a pinch so I'm pretty comfortable in western Europe but I'd like to be more comfortable with the Mediterranean languages. In due time I might try learning Italian as well.

    Jump

  • I've been learning Portuguese for well over two years now. I think I've got a pretty good handle on sentence building. The grammar of verb tense is sometimes still somewhat confusing and I think I've got a lot of words to learn still.

    But if I read posts on Lemmy in Brazilian Portuguese, I kinda get the gist of it.

  • There's this FBI dude in Poker Face who also drinks milk a lot and at some point he just chugs a cup of half and half at a coffee machine.

  • It's just prompt engineering for coding. Let an AI dump a bunch of code for you, debug until it no longer errors, pull request and repeat next sprint.

  • What is that random movie that you watched multiple times throughout your childhood only because your family happened to own it's DVD?

    Jump

  • In that case I can really recommend Out of Time

  • Ballistic: Ecks VS Sever. Decent movie.

    Also Out of Time and Déjà Vu, both with Denzel Washington, both sort of time based thrillers.

    Jump

  • Most notable I think is there's this dude who asks for any old pc parts you might have lying around, he'll cover shipping but the stuff needs to be donated, and he makes gaming or office systems for countries in need.

    I donated a case and a PSU to a cause and it got shipped off to Ukraine to replace broken stuff.

    What's one beauty standard that you don't agree with?

  • Overly full lips. There's a bandwidth there where it should fit the rest of the facial features. Filling them up with collagen just almost never looks good.

  • Maybe I'm biased but my two cents is no. Not at all.

    I think people who impose their kids on others are the assholes.

    The thing with new parents is that they are, in my experience, completely devoid of any personality they used to have. They may have been fun people at some point, but once they get pregnant, it's pretty much all they can talk about.

    I've got some close friends who are on the cusp of becoming parents but my wife and I have made it quite clear we are not at all interested in that part of their lives. And they accept that.

    Especially seeing as how you've not spoken to this person for some time, 'catching up' is out of the question if children are involved. Unless they're passed out or whatever. It seems to me this person is just looking for an excuse to talk about their children for a couple of hours while you politely nod and agree. For them, the best case scenario is that you're as happy to be around those kids as they are.

    I think you can set boundaries if you are not looking forward to meeting with the kids around.

  • What is really meant by "programming" when people say they like to use linux for it?

    Jump

  • For me personally, it's a couple of self-hosted apps. It's not technically programming, more scripting.

    But I've also dabbled in using Python for some personal data analysis. That works just fine on Windows since I use Power BI for the visualization.

    I've had some folks at my school creating their own forks of open source software. Modding games, modding tools, modding the OS for whatever.
