Cries in corporate systems, balls deep in Microsoft ecosystem.

All my personal devices are running Linux however.

Let’s wait until 2050s.

The Kazaa gamble.

That radio DJ speaking in the middle of the song you’re recording.

While we are speaking of it, please let users choose between languages (original and target) independently of system locale.

Sometimes I encounter social media posts auto translated (probably through Google translate) but languages detection is messed up. And the best part is there isn’t a menu to choose.

Speaking of which, a mechanism to manage posts from instances your account has previously migrated away from.

Use of marquees is a violation of the Geneva convention. You monster.

I’ve only worked for about a year as coder. I’ve used LLM extensively for work. I kinda feel bad that I might be lazying out on actually learning how to do it myself.

Then there’s the issue between scientific jargon that is different from general public use. A scientific theory has a specific definition, but it’s easy for general population to dismiss them as “just a theory”.

In Korean we have these conjugated forms. They both sound the same:

1. 나아 [na.a] (from 낫다) be/become better
2. 낳아 [na.a] (from 낳다) give birth (to a baby)

So when given A as an example:

(A) 감기에 걸렸어요. I got a cold.
(B) 빨리 나으세요! Hope you get better soon!
© 빨리 낳으세요! Hope you give birth soon!

For some reason Koreans across all ages write C instead of B by mistake. It became a national joke at this point and some do it ironically on purpose. I used to teach Korean. Imagine my face every time.

There are more but I’m on my phone. Will do more later.

Confusing between hay‐ay is at least understandable (forgetting the letter). Confusing between hay-ahí is what makes my blood boil.

Remember that banking and finance is full of regulations, and have moving speed of snail. Opposite of IT. When asked for something like this (open source or cross compatibility or anything nerdy) the first question is “who will be liable for losses and damages when something breaks?”.

Liability is probably the biggest factor. When something isn’t working properly, they want to be able to point fingers at someone and blame them. The vendor then blames someone else. Open source tends to be the polar opposite, which means huge red flags - hippie stuff, no payment, no liability, no pointy-blaming game.

Or so I’ve heard from people working in that sector. For places as conservative as them to deploy FOSS solutions, you’ll need the government branches cooperating with clearly worded laws and regulations, dragging them kicking and screaming into adoption.

And that’s assuming no one will lobby against in the process.

I did the same with laptop HDDs. So many cheap storages.

What about people with glasses? Can the legs round part be adjusted without pressing against the glasses frames?

Source, and what is this command supposed to do? We shouldn’t blindly copypaste shell commands from online.

Phone numbers and SMS should never have been involved with user authentication beyond simple contact info. Smartphones really ruined it.

Not every community made the move. Tech related ones are definitely here, not so much for games or anything in humanities unless we’re counting very small communities. But it’s a start.

On top of that, being a minority alone can be a huge disadvantage.
