It’s a thing in Bavaria as well. I’m trying to erase it from my vocabulary because I hate it too.

Yeah! To add to this:

I’ve started doing this recently. It’s fun, I’m also scanning the album covers and manually typing in the lyrics from the booklet in the CD in addition to all the other track metadata haha

One notification like this and your app immediately gets notification permission revoked on my phone (if not uninstalled).

Congratulations, you can be a woman anon
- Comment on ChatGPT's o3 Model Found Remote Zeroday in Linux Kernel Code 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s fair. When verified beforehand, and what it discovered is an actual issue, why not. It does overwhelmingly attract people who have no idea what they’re doing and then submit bogus reports because it looks good to them though.
- Comment on ChatGPT's o3 Model Found Remote Zeroday in Linux Kernel Code 2 weeks ago:
Daniel Stenberg has banned AI-edited bug reports from cURL because they were exclusively nonsense and just wasted their time. Just because it gets a hit once doesn’t mean it’s good at this either.
- Comment on After a lengthy legal battle and billion-dollar loss, 'Fortnite' is back on iOS 4 weeks ago:
But look at the typical apple user. Do you think they’re going to be happy without the apple experience?
The Apple experience = locked down devices? If people (and Apple) stopped fearmongering about “security” or whatever, yeah they would, or at worst they wouldn’t care. I’d certainly welcome being able to publish apps on my terms, and being able to install what I want.
Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.
That’s exactly the point. You don’t have to use the parts of a theoretical more open ecosystem if you don’t want to, you can keep using exclusively the official Apple stuff. But it creates more choice for the user if it exists.
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 4 weeks ago:
Apple is incompetent at writing software for anything but their own devices. iCloud Web is also a disaster for example, and the old iTunes for Windows is infamous for being a buggy mess. Though I have to say they did a good job with the new web Apple Maps.
- Comment on Can you read and understand this passage? 4 weeks ago:
Sure. It paints a very vivid picture, I love it.
Never read anything by Dickens before except for A Christmas Carol (and that was for school) but this is now on my reading list :^)
- Comment on Anon hasn't given up hope 5 weeks ago:
It works pretty well for image editing as well, at least the type I do. I’ve started using it mainly for that instead of GIMP (mainly because GIMP’s Mac version doesn’t work nearly as well as on Linux and I want to use both)
The lack of green pepper brush is a big downside though.

- Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose) 1 month ago:
Yeah. I did it exactly once, on vacation, while I didn’t have internet connection/didn’t want to waste the rest of my data, and wanted to import photos to my MacBook to edit them. It was fast enough on the Lightning connector.
This is a complete non-issue especially since faster hardware would probably be more expensive. Apple has enough actual issues that are more important such as repairs, RAM pricing, sideloading, …

I asked Gemini and it said “A reddit user wrote, ‘Kill yourself.’” Sounds like a yes for me too!

“can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters”

Holy shit. I need to start saying this
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered troubleshooting 1 month ago:
Pretty much only games that were made pre-permission restrictions on Program Files because they try to write to the install folder. I think that was added around XP/Vista. Anything remotely recent shouldn’t have this problem (especially if it’s the default install directory).
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 1 month ago:
Absolutely, I hate this shit. It feels incredibly fake and overbearing if it’s an automatic/“broadcast” message.
Sometimes it’s designed so that it’s actively dangerous too. I said “Siri, kill me” to my phone and it started calling emergency services. Are they trying to get people fined for abuse?
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 2 months ago:
It really doesn’t hurt to know a bit of the IPA, at least the characters for your own language… I see so many horrible phonetic “transcription” “systems” people use when describing how to pronounce a word, it’s crazy
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 2 months ago:
Since you mentioned Chinese, there’s also an interesting thing in languages that have Chinese characters as their writing system origin and use names based on it (Chinese languages of course, Japanese, Korean and I think also Vietnamese) where names of historical or important people are translated via their written form and not their pronunciation. For example, the Japanese prime minister Ishiba Shigeru 石破茂 is called 石破茂 (shí pò mào) in Mandarin, written with the same characters. (Been a while since I read about this so I forgot the examples where the name is pronounced significantly different and in all of these languages but this is a good enough example)

- Comment on Why Titles Are Written Like This? 2 months ago:
It’s certainly not a universal thing either, no other language I know does it.
Once I asked on linguistics (or maybe English language) stackexchange about the origins of it, but it got deleted as duplicate of a related but definitely different question. Most satisfying stackexchange interaction

It solves encrypted RCS being a Google extension. Hooray for standards.

You can install AdGuard on iOS, it will at least block ads in the browser.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 3 months ago:
The server list is still there fwiw. But yeah the matchmaking update was awful.
