Languages with first-class package managers that make it really easy to use dependencies are a case where ease-of-use and usability might be actively harmful. It encourages developers to NOT audit their dependencies, and eventually leads to node_modules, which eventually leads to leftpad. Having fewer dependencies because adding depenedencies is annoying is not actually necessarily a bad thing.

@luna there was a time when sometimes i were almost considering muting from timeline the people that I am friendly with and whom I care about but who sadly seem to have learned some Japanese and I got no way to filter all these posts out

I know people who have "ALEXA", who change the room for "private discussions" - in their own house!

I don't get it.

@haskal There are even localized variants, like !gfr for the French version of Google, or !wfr for the French version of Wikipedia.

And my favourite : !gtfr for Google Translate from [detected language] to French (works with !gten, !gtde, etc).

in chinese i asked my wife if she wanted any fried-egg sandwiches for breakfast, she was upstairs, so it was a little hard to hear, and then she replied "i already had 2 newspapers"

my half-awaken ass paused for a sec before realizing she said this chinese bun thing with sweet stuff inside, and not newspapers

i need coffee before i can hear the difference between

bàozhǐ (newspaper)

and

bāozi

someones she speaks with a southern chinese accent so the "h" gets lost and it sounds the same

does anyone here speak hindi?

i noticed on a packet of supermarket curry there was the word इंडियन in the branding

my rusty knowledge of nagari from sanskrit many years ago leads me to believe that this says, uh, "indian", but the hindi for indian is not "indian"..??

what's going on here. are sainsburys being overly phonetic in their translation
