It's not that there is not discussion between different sides anymore, it's that there's more of it and this is what it looks like

Then I also get to test my hypothesis that a more information-dense language (that encodes more information in each word) is better suited as a base language for translations. Many translations are quite poor due to the ambiguity of English. You need more context than what a short text string provides, to be able to translate it well.

For the next program I write, I'll try to not use English as the main language. Seems so sad that it's the default and often only [fully] supported language even in software primarily created by people whose native language is something else. If people who don't speak English can learn it in order to use a program or whatever, then surely English speakers can do the same?

Continually irritated because every time I try to go out in public, the public is there??
The space key of my Keyboardio Model 01 stopped working. :(
It was stucking to repeat the space until another key was pressed, so I tried the usual anti-chatterig measure aka isopropanol. After that the key does nothing, so I guess it shorted and broke down.
Warranty has ended already, so now I just remapped some keys and must learn new routines. It sucks.
And no, I'm not able to use a soldering iron. I consider instabanning everyone who mentions soldering.

“Hearing-centric design in video chat apps”
https://www.matsuko.ca/blog/hearing-centric-design-in-video-chat-apps/
Comparing Discord, Google Hangouts, Google Meet, Houseparty, Jitsi Meet, Skype, Zoom.
In general: cropping, chat overlays affected ASL. Captions meh. Screen sharing kills video feed.
Woah, it's been a while since I've started crying while writing fiction. I guess this is a good story then.
silly ”death to [regime]” take
#DeathToEurope on July 4th is like asking ”when's the international men's day” on March 8th.
Just FYI: #DeathToEurope day is on May 9th (aka Europe Day).

I've been studying Finnish for three days and it's already easier than the scam that is French.
