⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese Keyboards⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Ah ok. Now I understand.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese Keyboards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Is it used also for communication? I only know it’s being used for transcription of official documents like passports or addresses.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese Keyboards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Isn’t Pinyin a romanisation method, i.e. writing chinese using the Latin alphabet instead of Chinese glyphs?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For French origin words like "meter" American English inverted the last letters of "metre" to better match the pronunciation. Why isn't it also the case for other similar situations like "possible"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I think it wasn’t the point of OP that “meter” better matches the French pronunciation, but it does better match the (American and British) English pronouciation than “metre” does.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please explain this to me. Are consumers that dumb?!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Oils are often considered as fats, triglycerides, that are liquid at room temperature. Thus, any triglycerides that aren’t, aren’t oils.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s really odd.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
What do you see then?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s exactly what I wrote mm^2 should be rendered to square millimetres (mm^2) by the browser / app
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
16 AWG – 1.3 mm^2
14 AWG – 2 mm^2 12 AWG – 3.3 mm^2 10 AWG – 5 mm^2

For us from the civilised part of the world ;-)

However, as in Europe we have 230 V system, approximately half the cross section, stated in the table above, is sufficient.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I download Ubuntu's community wallpapers?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You can find the packages containing the Ubuntu wallpapers e.g. here: https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-wallpapers/
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there people without handedness?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, that exists as well.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there people without handedness?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Looking at the origin:
ambi, Greek: both;
anti, Greek: against, opposed;
dexter, Latin: right, skilful, clever; sinister, Latin: left, wrong, evil;

So sinister is already anti-dexter, the ambi just emphasises that this not-skilfulness applies to both hands.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there people without handedness?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This practice was not exclusively Soviet. It happened in the rest of Europe too, even long before the Soviet Union, pupils were tought to use their fine hand, i.e. their right, for writing, while their left was bound to the chair. However, as being left handed isn’t exclusively a matter training, this practice causes drawbacks in other fields.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
As the wavelength depends on the relative motion between the source of the EM wave and the receiver (matter), this isn’t a trivial question at all.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about Windows OS when it finds a folder full of audio and sets the view properties as "music". Can this be stopped?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It isn’t complicated, just too many ifs to give a brief answer here.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about Windows OS when it finds a folder full of audio and sets the view properties as "music". Can this be stopped?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The procedure elaborated here should do the trick: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/set-default-folder-view-windows
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Well – is it technically a flight if the airplane is still on ground?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
In German and Swedish, this would be totally fine. Beside this would be November 12th. The German way for the year would be twothousandtwentyfour while the Swedish would be twentyhundred twentyfour.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
We already have nuclear participation with the US. In case NATO decides for mutual nuclear defense, the US nuclear bombs stored in Germany exclusively for German use would be attached to airplanes of the German Air Force to be deployed onto their targets.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think being left-handed gives any unique qualities or advantages compares to other right handed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Me and a pal were the reason our kindergarden bought some lefty scissors.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
The 3rd column might be the relative share of registered or eligible voters.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
In Germany, you may also use the built in DVB-C receiver of the TV for free TV and an additional CI card for pay TV. But cable companies want you to use their set top boxes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Similar for me. I have an old Philips “smart” (actually today it is very dumb as basically all services are disabled and all apps heavily outdated) TV which I occasionally use for watching TV, but most times I use the attached Raspberry Pi with Kodi for watching public German Mediathek, Youtube or Amazon Prime.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
A TV usually comes with a remote, a monitor doesn’t. Additionally, you can use it to watch linear TV if you don’t feel like making an election.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which language was spoken in ancient empire armies ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
As far as I understood, @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz was talking about the phonetic alphabet used in the armies of NATO countries which is standardised by ICAO as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, … and is not the everyday phonetic alphabet in each country, e.g. in Germany commonly Anton, Bertha, Cäsar, … but there are plenty of different versions and variants for each German speaking country.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
AfaIk, posts and comments cannot be exported.

For the rest you may use the “export settings” function in the “personal settings” section on the webpage of your Lemmy instance (yet I don’t know what is actually exported).

Alternatively, you may use one of the tools mentioned in this post (the post is in German, the linked webpages are in English): https://slrpnk.net/post/10923543
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Bash aliases be nested?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Ah, obviously you’re right and bash is less tolerant than I’ve had in my mind. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-useful-bash-aliases-and-functions
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Bash aliases be nested?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.

Again what learned. What is wrong with having spaces around the equals sign, though?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨risky abbreviations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Don’t tell people you’re going to ISIS while on a flight.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why, in English at least, is the letter W called "double U" and not "double V"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
What? In German ‘w’ is [veː].
