  • Not to be confused with

    SWOL

  • But aren't the plugins also basically part of the electron app after installing? But I have no idea how electron, vscode and their plugins acrually work.

  • As a German I can assure you that false friends are something you scare away all pupils (regardless of age). I have very intense memories of our English teacher correcting us again and again.

    Regarding the composita in German: we are moving more towards the English approach by splitting these word monstrousities with hyphens. E.g. Donaudampfschifffahrtsamt may be spelled Donau-Dampfschifffahrts-Amt. Its way easier to read and write. While the hyphenated spelling is not something that is used often officially, it got more popular in the last decades.

  • I do not understand this whole post. I know how git works but what is with his GH profile? I am at a loss here

    Edit: Oh he is suspect of shooting some dumbass in New York

  • Regarding speed dreams, there is an announcement from a month ago: current status

    TL;DR So they are currently switching from SVN to GIT and maybe use forgejo to host the project

  • So, basically TES elves are half-uruk-hai then?

  • Always glad to help tearing down ad-ridden networks

  • There are no innocent cats, that is the reason why there are no catties

  • I just updated my answer with more examples but I think you are right with the nickname thing

  • I mean it only works with nouns that are not ending on vowels and also not every noun works good. But I heard this from people all over Germany. Mostly in a mocking way, like someone was eating too much and complaining about stomach pain:
    "Oh, tut dir der Bauchi weh?"

    Other commonly used examples I can think of:

    • Lurch - Lurchi (amphibian)
    • Frisch - Froschi (frog)
    • Hund - Hundi (dog)
    • Mutter/Vater/Oma/Opa - Mutti/Vati/Omi/Opi (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa)
  • In German this literally translates to something like "cute sand man". Because in German you can just add an " I" at the end of any noun to make it sound cute and small. So "Sandi" can be thought of as a kind of diminutive of the noun "Sand", similar to "Bauchi" from "Bauch" which is stomach. The correct dimunitve of "Bauch" would be "Bäuchlein" but this refers more to the perceived size of the object.

  • The image from reddit seems to be a mix of Japanese and US yellow edition? Not sure but here are both in comparison:
