Not OP, but if you look at the Hello World code example, the “HelloWorld” class is visually divided at the l’s and the o and W are glued together. Looks more like “Hel l oWorld”.

WhiteHotaru ,

If it works for you, that’s fine. You are right with the monospaced font being limited to the boxes. Jetbrains mono uses ligatures to overcome certain spacing limits. On top of this some characters are designed to connect better to their surroundings, as the „l“ mentioned, which is not just a stroke, but connects to the neighboring characters with the top and bottom strokes.

There was a meme in Germany during Chancellor Merkel’s time in office. As soon as Merkel “expressed her utmost confidence” in someone, that person resigned shortly afterwards.

Hotaru is firefly in English and this reminds me of one.

WhiteHotaru ,

The term you and @Yote are looking for is enshittification. Cory Doctrorow wrote a blog post about this.

WhiteHotaru ,

I maybe did not understand 95% of this, but it is cool to see people understanding the math behind computing.

WhiteHotaru ,

It is called a programming language. I guess repeating some sentences or even the idea for a story is normal when you write a book or code a program.

Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?

Dear lemmy, someone very close to my heart is starting to fall into conspiracy theories. It’s heartbreaking. Among other things, he has now told me that soy beans are not supposed to be consumed by human beings and is convinced that despite the literal centuries of human soy bean cultivation and consumption, we shouldn’t eat...

Be aware that a fast change in character could be a sign for a starting mental illness or a physical one affecting the brain.

If you feel, you are no longer able to reach your friend, talk to a professional how you could support your friend. And discussing based on logic and common sense might not be the way to help.

Baldurs Gate 3 was released on Friday on Mac. I played the preview and some hours on parallels and am glad now I can play natively now.

My problem is, this world is to big. I like role playing my character, even if it is not optimal. I read every dialogue and think: “what would Hsslek (my Githyanki Dragonborn Wizard) do?”

The great thing is, after around 50 hours I now have a picture of my character. A curious mind, not always fitting into Githyanki society, but counting on the Githyanki Warrior who shares his fate and is becoming his lover.

How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?

My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.

WhiteHotaru ,

There is tomato salad. Just tomatoes, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.

What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?

I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it’s pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some...

WhiteHotaru ,

This guy has around 60 YouTube episodes showing how to do it. Have fun!

My

  1. The Finnish author Tove Marika Jansson (1914 - 2001) invented this name for her stories about the Mumin troll (Moomin Trolls). Lilla My (Little My) lives with the Mumin family. She is so small that she can sit in the family’s milk jug. My gives expression to a most destructive turn of mind. She is totally disrespectful and can be very aggressive but has nevertheless an extremely positive attitude to life. Sometimes, she may even demonstrate a kind of careless friendliness - when it suits her.
  2. My is also the name of the 12th letter in the Greek alphabeth.
  3. Creative Spelling of Mi (see Mia)

I guess you already know how to sail/boat habe paper charts on board and just want a convenient way to get updated digital maps.

You could try map.openseamap.org but it will be limited regarding the information you get.

I tried pirating the training maps for the „Sportbootführerschein See“ (German drivers license for boats in German waters) and had no luck.

I would not bother pirating this for two reasons:

  1. The only valid maps (for German waters) are made by the „Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie“ and all maps are a licensed copy. They put a lot of work into maintaining and updating those maps and one way to maintain the infrastructure for safely traveling is paying for it.
  2. Your life could depend on an accurate map. The official maps I found were updated every 10 days. Would you risk it for a couple of €?

Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application

Up to now I’ve been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn’t had a meaningful update for a long time, & it’s recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions....

I as well use iCloud for syncing and it works well.

WhiteHotaru ,

They have total different use cases. DeepL is a translator, language tool checks for style and grammar.

I use both frequently and both do a very good job. I have a prime membership of language tool and I like it. Both are German companies and operate under GDPR.

WhiteHotaru ,

I think this is only the case with the free version. Source: I worked with some big German companies which wanted to have an autotranslate function for their software. DeepL was the top choice, because the quality is very good and the data protection agreements for the paid service left no questions.

WhiteHotaru ,

I didn’t know that.

WhiteHotaru ,

Good bot!

WhiteHotaru ,

feddit.de has a stable record and username as well. My main is on it and I can’t complain.

WhiteHotaru ,

The MacBook Air with the M2 chip is fanless as well. If it gets to hot, performance is downgraded.

WhiteHotaru ,

That manga is scary as hell.

WhiteHotaru ,

I don’t know. I read it once and the images stayed in my head. I imagine the main character must feel like someone with a mental illness. Driven by an unexplainable urge to do something which will destroy them ultimately.

WhiteHotaru ,

Und nicht nur dann! 👋

Corona 2 was not on my armageddon bingo card.

WhiteHotaru ,

I was referring to the situation and not the virus type.

I purged all my contributions and rewrote my comments to something along the line of „see you at Lemmy“ (which got me some bans) and finally pulled the plug. I started social media with the Usenet. It is only zeros and ones and can be destroyed by tapping the wrong button. 🤷‍♂️

I started a discussion on feddit.de about good discussion practice citing Karl Poppers rules of discussion and the use of the down and upvote buttons.

I think discussion culture in the Fedivers is quite healthy at the moment.
