@Gargron I wonder why they won't disclose their proprietary "addon" code. I assume it's either shitty or stolen, perhaps even both?

@Gargron This happened recently in the US, too. It doesn't surprise me the GOP borrowed a Russian tactic.

I don't think there's any real hard limit, but it depends on the context and how many times you hear a word. It's kind of like it was with phone numbers before phones had contact lists, if you call someone often enough, you only look up their number first five times or so. Or like it is with getting around an unfamiliar city. Or board games. Memory seems to be working the same way regardless of the data type. @Gargron This depends on several factors. How are you learning the words? (Anki is my favorite tool for this). How much time a day are you devoting to studying? Are you getting good quality sleep m(as sleep is when the things you studied yesterday are moved to long term memory). My general experience with learning Mandarin was that ~40 words a day was a pretty rough go but possible, but 20 words was easy. @Gargron not too Bad the first time. Getting better and better with several listening sessions. @Gargron Listening to it as I write. It is not bad, but not really better than what they recorded in recent years. They don't take much risks and have become somewhat predictable. Early reviews were very positive sending the album among the 2021 top 10. I believe that is why it got so much attention. However, it already left that tier and will only sink further in the rank.

Looks like IKEA discontinued the LED cabinet lights that actually produced a decent quality light 😦 I tried getting the strip version of the same series (LEDBERG) but it's a totally different color and much weaker than the discontinued spot lights

If anyone's tried the VAXMYRA spot lights (which seems to be the replacement they have for LEDBERG) can you tell me if they have the same light temperature at least? @Gargron LEDBERG is just LED light strips, not spotlights? OMLOPP was the LED cabinet spotlights I think? Next #iOS app milestones are multi-account login and iPad support (don’t ask me to what I’ll change the “for iPhone” part of the app name, I don’t know)

Will not forgive my phone for knowing aluminum but not recognizing aluminium for some reason

Android (Gboard) is pretty good with English. Russian tho... It annoys me to no end that it doesn't know half the forms of many commonly used words. Also had to teach it to swear.

New version of the app on the App Store should fix the crash issues introduced in the previous release! So I need to translate "What's new" into every language of the App Store page on every app update? Starting to understand why people go for "Bugfixes and improvements" now...

I had the opportunity to observe a peer that's never heard of Mastodon go through the iOS app onboarding process a week back, and it all went smoothly up until the regional server they chose turned out to block sign-ups with GMail addresses. I later notified the owner of that server and got it fixed but how long did it go unnoticed?

@Gargron Gmail and #Google in general have become quite evil so people should switch to #protonmail or other better more private companies. I worked with the current product manager of Google Chrome named Nasim Sedaghat and while she is nice and technically talented I am not afraid to say she does not care about users and privacy but simply about career as she has admitted on a tweet.

Last iOS app update added multiple languages like Catalan, French and Spanish, though I don’t think I’ll be able to see how many people are using those languages which is a bit of a shame. I guess we’re also missing localizations for the App Store page itself…

@Gargron I would love to look into contributing and potentially overlooking an Icelandic translation (although I do not have an iPhone...). Is that a possibility? I'm translating the app into German and wondering if "you" should be "Sie" or "du" 🤔 What is the expected form in apps nowadays?
Show previous comments
@Gargron As far as I can tell, direct speech is usually avoided in apps in German, instead opting for a more indirect infinitive form when possible (although the past years have shown an increase of "du" in ads and apps alike). |
@Gargron The prices might be less than an equivalent Samsung?
@Gargron Slightly smaller notch, a singular camera moved. That's it
@Gargron #AppleEvent I guess if you have an old iPhone it may make sense but to update from a 12 is kinda stupid. So now Apple thinks you are guilty until proven innocent of being a pedophile and will break the security of the phone even more by scanning everyone’s pictures on their phone that they think they own. Disgusting and I can’t believe there’s that many sick people in the world to justify anything of the sort.
