- Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose) 2 hours ago:
Ey, it’s not that bad. I’ve been using it for over a decade, never made an Apple account (so not app store apps) and I never use any of the built-in apps (except for super basic stuff like the calculator or preview).
Still beats windows.
- Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose) 7 hours ago:
Take any usb-c charger, plug it in and it will charge. We just covered 90% of use cases.
Beyond that:
old phone: slow data transfer.
new phone: faster data transfer but still slower then computer.
So very confusing.

It already is (depending on the country).

No it’s not. Plenty of countries that never had any colonies are doing the exact same thing in their local languages.

Oh no. They could have almost broken even if only they had made it in the Lebanese market.

Learning phonetics markup might be even more annoying than learning extra letters. I always hated those in school.
English does use Türkiye now
That’s news to me. But this is also not an American/English thing. In German Turkey is called “Türkei”, which is also proncounced differently.
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 2 weeks ago:
Why can’t they just allow kids in schools to learn the true names of things no matter how hard they may be to pronounce?
The problem is reading, as some langauges have different letters. For example English doesn’t have a “ü”, so using “Türkiye” in English makes no sense. It it just get’s worse with langauges like Chinese or Japanese, which have completely different writing systems.

- Comment on Who would win in a fight, a Gorilla or a Bear of equal weight? 3 weeks ago:
But consider a polar bear is almost twice as heavy as a Gorilla … OP said equal weight, so that’s one massive gorilla.

- Comment on What's the worst instance of plot armour on characters you've seen in TV? 3 weeks ago:
Rings of Power.
The show immediately starts with our main character causually defeating a troll by herself.
Later, amonst other things, she swam across an ocean and stands in a volcano’s pyroclastic flow like it’s a summer breeze.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 3 weeks ago:
The Netflix live-action Avatar remake.
The animated show is such a materpiece, but it’s still a kids show. There was potential to flesh out some of the more adult themes (war, romance) the show touches on in a way a kids show couldn’t. But other than that, they should have stuck very, very close to the original show.
Well, maybe I wasn’t “highly excited”, I was pretty sure they would screw it up.
But what I couldn’t have expected was just how badly they screwed it up. It took less then 5 minutes of watching to realise that the show will be bad (as they open with a prime example of “tell, don’t show”) and it really just went downhill from there. I think I dropped it on episde 4 and it took a lot of forcing myself to even get that far.
