  • Gibt tatsächlich keine so richtig gute Übersetzung für "to post something".

    Man kann "veröffentlichen" ("publish") sagen, aber das klingt sehr formal/wichtig, als hättest Du ein Buch verfasst.
    Äh, "verfassen" ("to author something") kann man theoretisch auch sagen, klingt aber auch formal.
    Manchmal macht "hochladen" ("upload") Sinn, aber eben nur wenn man tatsächlich ein Bild oder Video irgendwo hochlädt.
    Und auf der deutschen Fassung der Lemmy-Webseite wird "(Beitrag) erstellen" ("create (post)") verwendet, klingt aber immernoch einigermaßen formal und man muss eben dazu sagen, dass ein Beitrag erstellt wurde.

    Deshalb wird informell schon auch tatsächlich ein denglisches Wort verwendet, nämlich "posten". Also ausgesprochen wie das englische "post" + das normale -en.
    Beweis, dass es das tatsächlich gibt: https://www.dwds.de/wb/posten#1

  • To be honest, I have no idea. I'm not a Roman numerals/date crack myself. The tattoo definitely wouldn't have been faithful in that regard, but it's also not like they intended to be accurate down to that level...

  • Personally, I like it as an example here, because yes, technically you can't know for sure that a fish feels pain, much like you can't know for sure that a cat feels empathy, but it's illogical to assume that if we don't know about it that it doesn't have it. The base assumption should be that these animals are similar to us, because they're really not that different from us.
    In particular, pain and empathy are crucial to survival for us. It would be extraordinary, if fish and cats survived without any notion of it.

  • (they anatomically can not have empathy)

    You got a source on that? Not to be rude, but it sounds like the nonsense that meat eaters in denial tell each other like "fish can't feel pain", even though when you poke a fish, it obviously reacts to that.

  • I have a web music player that I've developed, and while it was never really intended to be used by others, I thought I had generally followed accessibility best practices. After using it for about two years, I realized that I never even implemented keyboard shortcuts. 🫠

    Which is to say, one shouldn't assume devs to know what they're doing. At some point, I'm also just a user and I use software like everyone else does, meaning I pick out a path that works for me and then I hardly look left and right from there.
    Features not being tested when you don't use them yourself, that happens with any feature. But it's much worse for UI features, because those are difficult to automate tests for. And accessibility is in an even worse spot, because it necessarily opens up a separate path, which is going to be invisible to me as a user, so it gets covered by neither automated tests nor by me just using the software.

    I have to go out of my way to test accessibility, which means I have to be aware that a change I'm making might introduce a regression. That's genuinely how lots of amateur developers work, which is probably the best explanation why accessibility support is often so amateur-ish...

  • I mean, there's definitely gonna be worse out there, but I once saw a tattoo on an online post, of presumably their date of birth in roman numerals.
    Problem is, there was only one "M", so it looked something like: IV/X/MCXCIV

    But I figured, alright, let's not assume things, maybe they're a history buff and something cool happened on that day in 1194.
    But if I remember correctly, I found some list of all Wikipedia articles for specific dates and that day did not have an article, because nothing noteworthy had happened.

    So, yeah, I guess we do have to assume that they are in fact a vampire.

  • That's always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?

    I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it's not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards...

  • I'm guessing either because it looks like blood, or because it contains actually a lot of metal in terms of minerals...?

    I really don't know, if it contains the most amount of metal among veggies, though. Apparently, it does contain a noteworthy amount of manganese.
    And I just compared it to potatoes and green beans, and well, it seems to contain rather much iron and sodium, but magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium are fairly average.

  • A while ago, I was out on a walk and there was a cat sat squarely in the middle of a road that's basically only used by farmers. As I walked by, I figured, alright, I'll just walk calmly all the way on my side of the road, so I don't disturb her. She meowed at me all the way through.

    When I was back home, I realized that she actually wanted me to pet her. And yeah, I just thought that sounds about right, that I'm socially awkward even when no humans are involved...

  • I think the main reason why Word is losing mindshare, is because it was designed for paper. The whole formatting system makes the assumption that there's a fixed width and height into which your text and images fit. In reality, a phone screen is a lot narrower and a widescreen monitor a lot wider.

    Markdown never made these assumptions. For the most part simply because plain text reflows to fill whatever space you give it. But there's no way to position an image either, I imagine mostly for simplicity's sake. It can look goofy at times, but it never looks broken.
    That's why I can write this comment on my phone and someone else can look at it on desktop and it's perfectly readable in both scenarios.

  • I do find the pipeline pretty funny:

    1. I'm bad at programming, I should find some side-projects to practice.
    2. I can solve some things, I should find some side-projects to put that to use.
    3. I can solve pretty much anything, given enough time, I really need to cut back on side-projects to free up time.
  • The problem isn't the existence of forks, it's rather how many developers are behind them. Mozilla has around 750 employees, so I'd guess maybe around 500 full-time devs work on Firefox. Tor Browser and such have significantly fewer contributors, who only do this stuff in their free time.
