I would expect that in such an advanced society snoring has been “fixed” for good…
- Comment on Notepad autocorrected what I was typing for my foreign language exercise 6 days ago:
On windows 10 notepad is just plain old notepad, the same since ever. When did it got all those extra features in the last 10 years?
But see, we are debating notepad and not recommending Linux, at least…
(Indeed you ate right, I was referring to something I only thought and didn’t wrote: that there would be somebody fretting over how notepad had to have text correction capabilities, and you did, but I didn’t write that, so my answer did not make sense. Probably I am not making sense either now, whatever)

Yep, exactly what i said!

A bit less that half reply

Let’s discuss 9instead why would be good to replace such a solid and no frills tool like notepad at all?
- Comment on Notepad autocorrected what I was typing for my foreign language exercise 1 week ago:
… On notepad?
Oh come on, use some word editor if you need autocorrect. Notepad is a quick fast text editor that is mostly used for script editing and small stuff, its supposed to be just a plain text editor.
Having said that, I will shut up but still think that notepad never needed a rehaul.
- Comment on I cannot hook an ethernet cable to a router because the router is using all the plugs. What is a backup to make a Lemmy instance with Yunohost? If there’s no other way, what else can I use? 1 week ago:
The issue here is the USB stick, not the router. Use WiFi no problem but self hosting on a 32gb stick is a disaster waiting to happen, specially with a write intensive task as lemmy.

He just want you to use your brain and try out stuff by yourself. Go on!

Get a switch, a cheap 5 ports gigabit one is only like 10 bucks or 20 if you want a reputable brand (not needed).
Or just use WiFi…
- Comment on How can I create a Lemmy instance without coding or the use of Ethernet/router wiring? 1 week ago:
See here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy for specific lemmy instructions and here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Aexterna… for how to remote access stuff.
While Ethernet is recommended, WiFi will work as well.
The above links are my personal experience only and indeed YEMV.
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 1 week ago:
Would it make a difference?
Its not an English speaking country and its in Europe.
My point stand true for all major European languages like French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and many more.
My native language is directly derived from Latin and we have a very interleaved history with all Eu countries.
I am using English here because this is an English community.
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 1 week ago:
This thread is full of people who think English is the only language in the world. Its not, every language calls places with their own fashion, often different from how they are called natively. Its just how stuff works when in a country people simply don’t speak the “other” language and don’t share the same sounds either.
Calling the places with their original spelling will only create confusion because in that language, that place has a different name.
Its called translations and its how languages work, get over it.
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 1 week ago:
I don’t want no English telling me what I need to call a country or a city, thank you, I already have that in my native language, ah! :)
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 1 week ago:
Its not respect or lack of it.
Its just human culture and how it works. If a place is so common that its names very often, it gets a local name, or it got it in the past.
Changing that would bear no consequence on how we see that country/culture/place at all.
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 1 week ago:
What?
In myanguage we use our names for places. Like London or Paris, we have local language names. For less known places we use the original name, like New York or Birsbane.
Most important is when the name has historical importance for our culture, we most probably have a localized name for it, otherwise we don’t.
And no, we don’t use the “american” names at all
Its cultural, nothing regarding respect.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
He has one thought on his mind: “sex with a 16yo” repeated in a loop until he goes to jail.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
On many places in the world this is considered acceptable. Up to 150y ago it was mostly ok everywhere. Also social class counts sometimes.
No, I do not condone that a 16yo (whatever the gender) has a love relationship with a 42yo. Its so much wrong on ALL aspects.
But without knowing the background, location, family situation and much more, giving out judgment is just stupid.
I am father of a similar teenager, who luckly has no such tastes, but I do not know what I would do in such a situation. Would I condone it? Absolutely not. Would I prohibit it? Mmmmm would that be of any use? How would I address such an issue is probably by talking to both (separately). Yes I would go as far as telling the 42yo to fuck off or I would call the police on him/her. Or destroy his/her car/mess him/her up personally if I am in a place where the police would just do nothing.
But I cannot judge how and why the parents in OP post, without knowing more of the situation.
- Comment on How do I request an inactive community on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Every instance can do as they please. Check the current instance where the community is hosted. Or just start a new one on a different instance…
- Comment on Is there a way to get a massive dump of memory stuff off my laptop by uploading it to a torrent? If so how and can I make it private just for my access? 2 weeks ago:
Why? Just copy the data out of the laptop. A torrent only make sense to let lots of people download it, not for 1:1 data transfer that would be massively inefficient and would have zero advantages.
As for making it private, just don’t share with anybody and only seed it yourself. But of course nobody would ever download it, except yourself if you manually copy the torrent to another machine and leech it yourself.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You keep posting this question over and over again.
How can we even give you ideas if we don’t even know where this land is?
I have an idea, make a ski resort! Another idea, build a fun water park on it…
Wait, how we can even know that anything like that is possible there?
Can you develop yourself? Do you need to sell it for cash? So sell it. When? Who knows.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 3 weeks ago:
Iran has been by far the most friendly and welcoming people. And I visited -a lot- of places.
Also USA had very welcoming people, I must have been lucky by judging from people online, but in real world, my experience has always been very positive.
- Comment on What are these markings from? Bugs? 5 weeks ago:
Cut damage. They cut the board without some protection and that ruined the hard white layer. Shitty carftmanship.
- Comment on why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall? 1 month ago:
Gimp or krita are free and can do what you are looking for image editing and transparent background.
Free webapps? And who pay for the hosting? You are looking for the wrong target.
Lots of free PDF editing tools. Even web ones of you self host those (Stirling PDF anyone?).

Aaaand I read “your bath math situation”…
- Comment on Am I a bad artist 😂? 1 month ago:
I like it on a kind of way.
Makes me think, which is good.
It feels simple. Not mean “look simple” but feel simple.
No idea if that’s good or not.
Overall, yes, you are a good artist. Just because. I didn’t do it but you did, so you a much better artist than me.

How that possible? Looks like a random photo, or whatever.

Got a few myself! Looks like whoever is behind it keep registering on different instances.
Would be interesting to know why they do it

- Comment on For different game store, legally, what happens if they close? 2 months ago:
Laws serve the purpose of protecting ownership and owners, that defines what is lawful or not.
So, it is working as intended.
- Comment on For different game store, legally, what happens if they close? 2 months ago:
Legally speaking you lose the license to all the games because you don’t own the games only a license to use those games.
And the game owners have only licensed the games to the gaming platform (steam, etc) with the license to re-license those to you. Ceasing to exist the middleman, also your end of the license is invalidated.
You would need to negotiate a license to use each game again with somebody else or you are effectively pirating the game.
This doesn’t matter if there are DRM or no DRM. This not a technical aspect. Pirating means using without being legally allowed to, circumventing DRM or not is just the difference between breaking into your home or finding a non locked door to enter without damaging the house. Its still stealing.
Don’t get mad, I do not condone DRM and I don’t think piracy is stealing, it was just an example from a legal point of view
IANAL, but had to study the field for work related stuff.
- Comment on Are mood problems a “turn off” for people even when they’re hard to manage? 2 months ago:
Absolutely. After living 10 years with a person like you, leaving her was the best of my life and I should have done that sooner.
I have to add more, to be honest with you.
The reasons why she was bad for me where deeper than just the rage issue alone. That was probably the lesser issue, so don’t be afraid.
But I strongly suggest that you start a serious and sincere path with a good phycologist as that has the potential to help you control and understand the issue.
Yourself, and the people who care about you, will thank you for that.
Don’t over think and go for it.
