I mean, don’t deny that it’s a lot worse now, well, because of the actions of the current Israeli government. It’s not really comparable to before. Understandably so.

I think the overlap of tech literacy and nostalgia for a 90s/00s tv feel is quite small. You found your niche though my man, good work.

G approximate varies upon regional dialect (annoying, I know first hand as a multinational Arab)

It can be قمبو (gulf) or جمبو (Egypt) as well.

(For non Arabic speakers, hard G does not natively exist in Arabic and different dialects use a different letter to denote a hard G, a lot of the time contextually)

Actually he’s asking for a jumbo (large) mouse, funny cause in Arabic you literally read that as ‘jombo’

No plans only rant

I’ve been using parent/child, I guess that’s not always correct?

No one was arguing with you from the beginning. We’re just saying there’s a distinction and the IOC probably views it like that.

We all get what you’re saying dude. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a distinction. What you’re describing is an indirect effect on competitive integrity, which might be an arbitrary difference for viewers but for the IOC it’s a legitimate distinction.

Thank you for reading and enjoying! Yeah the great thing is that most of the ridiculous things in that menu have similar explanations, some are complete nonsense though

Glad to be! Got that “why bother no one’s gonna read this anyway” feeling halfway through the comment but then remembered I wasn’t on reddit anymore

No, I speak Arabic and it’s not so much misspelling as like, lack of sufficient punctuation. Then that is directly thrown into a translator. I’ll use the word مشكل as an example and try to explain why the menu says ‘Tuna is a problem’. As letters, from right to left, they are l:

m - م (the first letter on the right)

sh - ش

k - ك

L - ل (last letter on the left)

I know those standalone letters look different but that’s how they are when they’re not conjoined to other letters.

Anyway the problem is that that word can be read multiple ways because a lot of the vowels in Arabic come from small modifiers that no one can be bothered to type out because we know how to infer the pronunciations in context. So let’s get into the conflation of the word here. Without any vowels, theoretically the word can be read as mshkl. One way to read the word مشكل can be MuSHaKKal, and with the modifiers it would look like so:

مُشَكْل

It’s not easy to see but the first 3 letters have modifiers that make them be pronounced as ‘Mu’, ‘Sha’, ‘K~’, ‘Al’. Pronouncing the word this way means ‘mixed’ i.e. the dish being served is Mixed Tuna AKA Tuna salad.

Now without the modifiers the word can be read as: مشكِل

Now theres no modifier on the second letter so it kind of just blends into the first, becoming pronounced as ‘Mush’, ‘Kill’, or ‘mash’, ‘kal’. This word literally translates to ‘problem’. And if you just put a noun before problem, it makes sense grammatically to infer that the noun is the problem. Ergo,

“Tuna is a problem”. Also known as Tuna salad.

I literally keep Google lens open on my hand at the Japanese supermarket. So fucking helpful in the soy sauce aisle and in general. I actually know what I’m buying!

Hobbies don’t become obsolete dummy

There are good paid alternatives for music. The question was about Linux, not FOSS. Comparing to Ardour is unfair

My manager once asked me if I could code in API

Op didn’t even respond to a single comment here i.e. They are just venting about the ‘weirdness’ of a bidet and not actually looking for answers - just looking to validate their stupid opinion. So calling them out on that is the correct response.

When someone criticizes Israel and not all jews, yes.

The antisemitism card isn’t effective anymore, bud. Cried wolf way too many times.
