The UI shows that it’s a drop-up menu, but the menu itself drops down. Definitely a bug, not user error.
I know you’re just suggesting a workaround, but i don’t think the author is asking for one,just highlighting the UI flaw.

Sounds more like a request / command than a question.

Why is this a map? Some of these countries have multiple languages, like Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Wales, even Spain has Catalonian.

Well, there’s “dłoń” for hand. “Ręka” means the whole arm, including the hand, I assume.

I assumed they laughed at her because she actually IS that desperate but in denial about it.
- Comment on I ain't risking shit 2 months ago:
I read somewhere it runs custom software so it’s not like it’s usable tech. Best if you can fence it quickly to someone greedy for low price it’ll serve them right for buying obviously stolen goods.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 2 months ago:
A developer here, I usually list user - facing changes in the Changelog.
Even if the changes are not listed, general “bug fixes and performance improvements” is a worthwhile update too. These updates can contain fixes to annoying UX glitches, or really speed up the app, if a new faster API endpoint was added to the backend, and app change is needed to make use of it. You will also get security updates, to the app and its bundled libraries which is important nowadays.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 2 months ago:
Google does a lot of A/B testing, so listing new changes may be pointless as the new features may be available only to select few.
Also developers have no incentive to document changes. It’s a hassle to compile a list of changes since last release, and people don’t read the Changelog for every release, especially with auto updates on.
I’d be great if they could at least use an LLM to compile the Changelog

- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 4 months ago:
It likely includes stuff like timezones, timers, alarms,supports multiple languages. The update could be fixing a typo in Hungarian translation for all I know, or fix layout for displaying timezones on ultra wide screen 🤷♂️
Software development is complex, even for seemingly most trivial things.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 4 months ago:
All apps need updates as new features are added. The problem on windows the updates are slow and UX is poor.
Nobody’s complaining about android clock needing updates, because they’re seamless.

- Comment on Anthropic destroyed millions of print books to build its AI models 6 months ago:
The answer lies within the article
Publishers legally control content that AI companies desperately want, but AI companies don’t always want to negotiate a license. The first-sale doctrine offered a workaround: Once you buy a physical book, you can do what you want with that copy—including destroy it. That meant buying physical books offered a legal workaround.
And yet buying things is expensive, even if it is legal. So like many AI companies before it, Anthropic initially chose the quick and easy path. In the quest for high-quality training data, the court filing states, Anthropic first chose to amass digitized versions of pirated books to avoid what CEO Dario Amodei called “legal/practice/business slog”—the complex licensing negotiations with publishers. But by 2024, Anthropic had become “not so gung ho about” using pirated ebooks “for legal reasons” and needed a safer source.

Tieing shoes is done in 3d. One more dimension of complexity. Tablets on the other hand have a flat screen, so the toddler only needs to work two dimensions to use it.

In theory yes, but in practice those 4 people would be standing on a plane (i.e. Ground).
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 8 months ago:
I feel the same about youtube. I pay for premium, but sometimes creators bake in their own ads. I wish youtube would pay creators enough so they wouldn’t have to do it.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 8 months ago:
You also support big tech by giving them traffic and watching the ads. The only way to not support them is to not use it.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 8 months ago:
Podcast ads are easy to skip. Still, i pay subscription to my favourite podcast network to support them, and it’s more convenient not having to skip.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 8 months ago:
Is this unique to women? Do men experience anything similar in women-dominated fields? I’m not actually sure what these may be; teaching, childcare, hair stylists? I realise this may make me sound misogynist, but I’m really clueless.

Not to worry, I’m binging a few addicting podcasts already and I need something to fall back to once they run out. Recently discovered “Lateral” by Tom Scott (the youtuber).

Wow, they made 4 episodes about him, each over an hour long.
Haven’t listened to Behind The Bastards but will give this one a listen.
