lord_ryvan,

Hey what’s that wallpaper? It looks hella cool!

lord_ryvan, (edited )

TV Tropes is hilarious at moments like these!

White might make most of this harder to read, I think.
Now if the OP had used a text border, white letters with a black border, for example…

lord_ryvan,

Meh, let her use it, they’re the same browser anyway.

lord_ryvan,

I mean, a lot of these examples are just reasons to want to disguise yourself!

The community is called No Stupid Questions but apparently it does have stupid answers.

Okay in all seriousness, this kind of comment is not helping the asker at all.

lord_ryvan, (edited )

That’s a fine looking lady

It’s cause, as a goblin, she needs to prove her civilised side more, right? 😋

lord_ryvan,

Or smote if they don’t like you back

lord_ryvan,

I was a better person before this piece of knowledge.

lord_ryvan,

No. No I don’t think I will.

lord_ryvan,

Looks like they’re getting some instant karma dealt to them

lord_ryvan,

The height of sex-appeal is also apparently 4ft.

I may actually have a chance!

lord_ryvan,

That doesn’t prove their point, it states that customers prefer the safer sound of a female voice in voice controlled AI assistants, and that there’s more training data for female voices due to this.

This has nothing to do with AI chat talking in a condescending manner.

lord_ryvan,

They prompted “I want to watch movies … tell me a list of websites”

Seems like Bing AI understood the assignment and you didn’t.

lord_ryvan,

When they prompted they had no intention to pay, the LLM replied it won’t help with piracy but it gave other websites with movies, instead.

Telling about (paid!) libraries (for books!) would be completely off, but I’m sure it’ll tell you about libraries if you ask it to help you with getting your hands on books and not minding a subscription.

lord_ryvan,

I mean, back in 2nd, they would not be 1st level for only one session.

lord_ryvan,

I don’t, what’s this about?

lord_ryvan,

Stop doing that in a phishing e-mail then /s

lord_ryvan,

Am Dutch, cannot confirm, I haven’t got the foggiest what an ideer is.

lord_ryvan,

Yet! 😁

lord_ryvan,

Mate, the Russian people aren’t our enemy, but the Russian government that opresses them is.

lord_ryvan,

Because there’s a new platform (being annoying) every time this gets reposted, which is a lot!

lord_ryvan,

That’s awful, we should design something that covers both use cases!

https://xkcd.com/927/

lord_ryvan,

Trying to defend being a massive Sokka simp, I see?

lord_ryvan,

It does not do it very well (no sequential downloads, tracker scanning etc) and others like qBitTorrent also do not come with spam nor unrelated garbage, only μTorrent does that.

lord_ryvan,

It always downloads everything at the same time and it doesn’t find extra trackers, both cause it to download worse.

So no, it doesn’t actually do that one thing very well.

lord_ryvan,

I don’t think they asked for an explanation, but thanks anyways!

ExplainXKCD’s a great site, more XKCD readers should know about it!

lord_ryvan,

That sonds like a good thought process, I’ll try it too

lord_ryvan,

In Dutch we have one similar to dělá z komára velblouda, we say “van een mug een olifant maken” (making a mosquito out for an elephant), it means the same!

Also one similar to přišel jsem s křížkem po funuse; “mosterd na de maaltijd” (mustard after the meal) means something mentioned or brought too late, when it was no longer necessary.

I wonder how many languages have sayings like this.

lord_ryvan,

At least in Dutch we call it “meerdere wegen leiden naar Rome” (multiple roads lead to Rome) to do away with the morbidity…

lord_ryvan,

TBF English has words like “backpack”, which then get turned into a verb like “to go backpacking”.

But in some Germanic language like German (Dutch too), you should write all words that describe one noun together as one, which leads to words like huttentuttententoonstelling.

lord_ryvan,

When something is complete gibberish, it “sounds like volapyk” / lyder som volapyk.

In Dutch we say “This might as well be Turkish”, if something makes no sense.
If I recall correctly, I Turkish they call complete gibberish “Chinese”, and Mandarin just straight skips to “ethereal writing”.

You can definitely see which one’s the more difficult language, here.

lord_ryvan,

In Dutch we just start counting at 21, if we want to count seconds.

“Eénentwintig, tweeëntwintig, drieëntwintig…”

lord_ryvan,

Ah, I’ve never even heard of that one in English!
That’s interesting!

lord_ryvan,

When I tried it, it seemed like mostly just Debian with another DE, but maybe I/you haven’t tried it recently enough…

Also,

for a lot of people chromeOS is genuinely a good experience that Linux simply cannot replicate.

It’s literally Linux.

lord_ryvan,

She’s got her hands full and someone’s got to hold that leash!

lord_ryvan,

Oh I don’t even get a thumbnail

lord_ryvan,

I don’t even want a straw, I prefer drinking from the side of the cup and save the environment even a little more bringing my own fave cup and asking for no straw!

And yes, billionaires really do go brrr while I do all this

lord_ryvan,

Ich bin nicht Deutsch, aber ok u/spez ist ein Hurensohn

lord_ryvan,

It’s WHAT‽

My guy I need to get in on that, brb!

lord_ryvan,

removing edge & cortana & onedrive.

Madlad!
But just install Linux at that point, mate

lord_ryvan,

It sounds like you need a Windows N or Windows Server, instead.

Actually I think most people do.

Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?

It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

lord_ryvan,

No, because it’s not a bug.

Please don’t clutter actual bug reports with feature requests or design discussions.

lord_ryvan,

Most mice have a middle click, it’s pushing down the scroll wheel, this works on Windows, macOS and (most) Linuxes alike.
