- Comment on Why do languages sometimes have letters which don't have consistent pronunciations? 1 month ago:
For cases where it sounds like another letter, why not just use that one?
In Spanish, words that use

- Comment on Vert is the best self-hosted file converter out there, and it's not even close 2 months ago:
Check out the live instance at vert.sh
Interesting! It can convert images, audio, docs, video. Normally I would just use CLIs for this type of thing, but actually I could see this being handy for non-techies in the household.

Meanwhile, Framework CEO:
We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win. We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software.

I look forward to nobody buying their AI slop.
- Comment on Scientists say X (formerly Twitter) has lost its professional edge — and Bluesky is taking its place 3 months ago:
Ok, yes, but can we fix the issue where my Lemmy account takes like 10 seconds to load the main subbed feed? The more subs I add, the slower it gets. I got someone to try Lemmy, but they’re rightfully put off by how slow it can be sometimes.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 3 months ago:
Assuming that the goal is to never connect it to the internet and plug in another device with HDMI.
Ooh, this sounds like you may be interested in Commercial TVs? I heard those are the closest you can get to a dumb TV. I haven’t dived deeper than that though.
Any one have experience with commercial TVs?

I bought an open source media player called Tangara and loaded it up with FLAC files.
It’s been buggy and crashes a lot… and feels like it’s going to break if I drop it… but besides that, it’s been good. The battery life is amazing. The UI is fast and snappy. It has a headphone jack. It plays music. It has most things I want.
I definitely wish it was less buggy, but at least it’s open source and I think it’ll eventually get to a more stable place. I’d probably buy it again.

- Comment on Germany's Ecosia proposes stewardship to run Google Chrome 4 months ago:
Google would legally separate Chrome into a foundation, retaining ultimate ownership and intellectual property rights and give Ecosia operational responsibility for 10 years, Ecosia said.
Eh… uhh… does Ecosia even have the ability to maintain such as large and complicated code base?

I know some now legal immigrants, who were granted amnesty in the 80s, who support or feel indifferent about the mass deportations…
Sadly, something I’ve realized that is part of our United Statian culture is that we believe: “If I suffered, then others must suffer as well.”
- Comment on This fell off my car, can I just rip it off and not care? 7 months ago:
I went to one of those corporate places for an oil change … This fell off sometime on my drive home from work.
Exact same thing happened to me. Ever since then, I do my own oil changes.
Although, there’s definitely a startup cost. If you’re tight on cash, then I wouldn’t recommend it.
I guess the splash shield isn’t essential for driving… although, you should probably get it back on at some point. It’ll keep the elements out of the engine a bit. Getting water down there will probably lead to corrosion in the future. Not to mention rocks that could dent things down there.
It shouldn’t actually be too hard to put it back on. It’s usually just held on by plastic screws. You just need to buy replacement screws (a few bucks) and find a screw driver. The hard part would be lifting the car high enough so you can crawl under it. Then just line up the holes and put the screws on.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 7 months ago:
I don’t use a phone case. I already think phones are too big. Adding a case makes the phone even bigger and even bulkier. I’m usually pretty good at not dropping my phone.
Yes, usually, because I actually did drop it recently. 😅 Although, the screen is fine. It just has a little love tap on the corner. It’s got character now. It’s got the “worn” look.

Wait, huh?
Users can adjust from their profile settings which language they want to see … posts are marked as English despite being Egyptian, so these posts get forwarded to English speakers
