  Huzzah for Kazumara, our local office software hero!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I do the same. I get unreasonably annoyed by the horrible translations. I’d rather just have the original bad English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when IBM translated hard disks as “rigid disks” in French for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cox charges you $25 if your credit card is declined⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The US not having such a consumer friendly system is really unfortunate, but not surprising.

  Well, they’re consumer friendly, so of course the US won’t have them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Microplastics and peas. Very traditional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to save so much money by not going to the US to buy one of those… I wonder what I’ll do with all that wealth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You see "him" everywhere including on ancient coins⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We call them…

  THE EUROZONE!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollywood Is Cranking Out Original Movies. Audiences Aren’t Showing Up.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Have they tried putting a tariff on them to motivate the public?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have my doubts, but you’re right, maybe it does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But, advertising usually works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t drive often, living in a city and therefore not owning a car. But when I drive in the countryside, I use my blinkers whether there’s someone around or not. Just like I stop at red lights whether there’s someone else or not, etc. I just do what’s supposed to be done. Not having to wonder if there are others is one less thing to thing about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stuck⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It builds character, dammit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, that’s copyrighted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is looking for a new video game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Still a hard game though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was saved at the last minute!

  Let me sing it to you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why didn't *I* think of that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was very common to build on bridges in European cities. Seeing the river was rare. There are a few subsisting examples, but most houses are gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why didn't *I* think of that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In many places it was based on the number of windows, or on the width of the street facing façade… leading to odd styles of construction. It’s been a game of cat and mouse for quite some time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's lesson on threading a needle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At that point, you can just hold the thread in your teeth and jump through the needle!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, you’re into bird movies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm old⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re one of the greatest things to ever come out of IBM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix adds HDR10+ streaming support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t it something that’s more common in the computer image flow than in TVs?

  I’m not really familiar with the whole TV specs beyond basic resolution. I watch most of my media on other screens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How a Cheap Drone Punctured Chernobyl’s Steel Shield During the Ukraine War⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s amazing how quickly Russia can turn pretty much anything to shit. It’s like a special superpower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luxury bones? In *this* economy.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So that’s why all the food is so soft in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And SuSE has (decent) songs. Not many distros can say that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tried THIS and it actually works all the time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s very little lactose in most cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is Turkish⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From “poule d’inde”, litterally “hen from India”, which got shortend as such sthings tend to be. And it replaced the delicious Christmas goose for a while because it was “exotic”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy told me to make a lamb cake. Went about as well as I expected.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks like a trick version of reCapcha. “Click on all the lamb cakes”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#EverythingHappensForAReason⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that what the kids called it back then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking hell⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In some languages, pairs work fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a reader⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, now do Fallout: the Care Bears.
