loled at how the name of the Chinese guy is just “generic Chinese name” put into Google Translate

Thank you! I’ll try that out.

last I checked you can disable that? or has that changed?

Offtopic, but do you think it’s better to use HTTPS for non-public web services that must be accessed through ssh?

因噎廢食 (īnyēfèishí)

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/因噎廢食

This is a Chinese proverb meaning “to avoid something essential because of a slight risk of making a mistake.” Literally it means “to not eat due to the risk of choking on food.”

I only speak a very tiny bit of German so apologies if I get this wrong, but this reads like English forced into German.

No. That is time for German learning. Then you can shitpost in two languages make.

Oh wow I just realized that there’s the weird make in the end so maybe it was proper German after all?

holy fuck i think i’ve seen this exact guy on the metro multiple times. no clue why he does this or who he is though.

That is nice, but I need the Google Play Services for push notifications on the messaging app that everyone in my country uses. It’s sad, I know. If it weren’t for that I wouldn’t log in to a Google account on my Android phone either.

IMO, Windows without a Microsoft account misses out on the least features, when compared to macOS without an Apple ID, iOS without an Apple ID, or Android without a Google accout. Sad that Microsoft keeps making it more and more difficult to bypass logging into a Microsoft accout during installation. But I use Linux anyways (btw)

Agree. On iOS, if you don’t login with an Apple ID, you can’t really install apps. On Android though you can just use F-Droid to install apps just fine.

Not really. I used to take a bus every day to get to the metro station for a distance of only 1.5 km (0.93 mi). But to be fair it’s because I was always on a tight schedule.

I like Zen for its different interface. I like having a built-in vertical tab bar. It’s not as focused on privacy and security as Librewolf is, though.

Yes, like the Vietnamese name “Nguyen”, but not like “wininks”. The best I could describe it is as a hybrid between “ninks” and “ginks”. Pronounce the first consonant with the back of your tongue while keeping the image of pronouncing an “n” sound in your head.

I like to pronounce it as nginks like fucking inks. Yes, with a ng sound in the beginning.

They look great! Now I want even more strawberries…

This is what the ¥862 strawberries look like.

2000 yen for strawberries? How much strawberry is that? I got a handful of strawberries for ¥862 today.

Yes, the rice is expensive.

True. It doesn’t even install on Android 14.

Fcitx5 is the best for Chinese. Honestly very impressed that there is a open-source keyboard this good for Chinese. Only thing missing is fat finger error correction (like autocorrect but it works on the preedit text instead of text already output)

Fcitx5 for Chinese, and Flickboard for English. Honestly sad that there isn’t a decent open-source keyboard for Japanese though.
