Translation costs either money or user data. Probably a political issue.

Personally, I still can’t understand why Lemmy needs to deal with post and comment languages anyway. It’s a reasonable feature for microblogging. But when you start sorting content into groups (aka boards, communities, etc.), you don’t really need to mix different languages to discuss one specific topic.

Netnews and Bulletin Board Systems had language- and location-specific communities. Everyone participating in one of these communities/groups/boards was writing in the same language.

It’s sad that the young people here all forgot Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. 😢

There were games from my wishlist on sale that I haven’t bought because my current system isn’t ready. So I’m in the market for a new PC. (And because Windows 10 support runs out in October 2026.)

One of the games is a PC port of a PS5 game. If the trend continues, I probably want to run a PC port of a PS6 game in 2032. Preferably on a PC I bought in 2026.

Centralized has advantages for normal users who want to report bugs.

I remember when people started migrating to GitHub from Google Code. Most users have some Google account that they could use to report bugs. But GitHub was new.

For a long time I tried reaching developers by mail, but this wasn’t possible anymore. I had to create a GitHub account.

Yes, it’s only slightly weaker than PS5

This would make it a good enough system, but not one for the next 10 years.

I unsubscribed. But he gained new subscribers. Nobody else cared.

A tool that gives at least 40% wrong answers, used to find 90% errors?

It’s not gore if it’s from the Bible. 🙃

Make a new account on Reddit, and you soon learn that votes (and therefore karma points) do matter. Even the karma in one subreddit can be relevant, so older accounts joining subreddits need to be careful not to annoy the local establishment.

They matter in the original intention of votes: visibility.

Votes get used to sort content.

On my very first day on Lemmy, I couldn’t see the comments to most posts. Luckily I found an answer to this problem that was posted over 2 years ago: I forgot to select additional languages to just “Undetermined.”

I just skimmed over the texts on the settings page and assumed “undetermined” works like with other social media sites: if I don’t select anything, it shows me every language. And as communities are usually formed around a single language, it didn’t seem important. This isn’t the case with Lemmy. Undetermined is its own language, not a wildcard for all languages.

When users don’t know how multiselect works on desktop web, they probably end up with just one language selected and miss every post that has no language set.

It’s very strange.

I have seen pictures and videos about these strange design decisions. But I don’t know if the guests simply accepted their fate or if they complained.

I wouldn’t want to pay full price for a room with missing bathroom doors. Or a window in the wall to the bathroom.

All you people who were hating on racists on Twitter, you were hating on foreigners!! 🙃

Damn. It’s probably number of new users.

Sounds like a bug. 24 users don’t write 1269 posts and 1867 comments.

Oh, I think I put GoW on the wishlist because of the few hundred hours of “The Outer Worlds.”

Oh, yes. The day after the “Glitter” soundtrack was released.
