Haha well the English have already butchered that name with the new spelling. They can have their pronunciation

Pretty sure that’s Aristotle. But apparently the plural in Nahuatl is axolomeh so it doesn’t work either
True, cause that’s not how you pronounce axolotl

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"United States" in French (États-Unis) would have made a very confusing acronym

World News@lemmy.world•Reform plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain for migrantsEnglish
3·1 year agoBut “indefinite leave to remain” is apparently a noun according to the other comment, making “plans” the verb. Just English being English. Some capitalization would have been useful here.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Video call apps should have a baby/toddler mode that locks the touch screen
5·1 year agoMy old phone had a setting for this but it seems it’s part of OneUI so Samsung only :/ It’s called Interaction Control in Accessibility Settings.
If it doesn’t stop it from eating and doesn’t get infected somehow I guess it wouldn’t necessarily kill it. I don’t remember if it was eating but it moved around normally.
Any extra points for hitting the “Finished the feature?” square three times for the same feature?
The houses were being rented to locals who are now pushed out so the houses can be offered as much more expensive airbnbs.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Solar powered personal umbrella with battery?
6·1 year agoDo you usually use an umbrella when it’s sunny or would you do it just to charge the battery? I know it’s a thing but only very rarely see people do that, probably not enough to have demand for something like this. Backpacks with solar panels exist but I think these are pretty hard to find too.
Oh and it fixes the titles too, very nice
You can change the audio track but you have to do it on every video. What’s more annoying is it can’t even decide on a language. I’ve had both Spanish videos auto dubbed to English and English videos auto dubbed to Spanish.

Technology@beehaw.org•Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones
7·1 year agoI never trade in. Every old phone I’ve had has seen more use than the value of trading it. Most go to a relative then back to me for some secondary use. Plus it’s good to have a backup device in case something happens to your main phone.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it normal that I have this inner conflict of not knowing where I belong?
4·1 year agoMaybe you like the US because most media comes from there? If you feel you don’t belong in Germany you can try other cultures too. From there you have access to A LOT of countries just a train trip away. And at some point you could go to the US too to see what it’s really like.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•what language would be best for me to learn?
3·1 year agoWhy these languages specifically? If it’s for different reasons you should pick what’s most important to you. Also, with Spanish and Portuguese, Italian and French should be much easier than the others but don’t you already understand a good part of them?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Is your sleep schedule actually messed up, or are you just aligned with a different timezone?
4·1 year agoWish it worked like that with the lights. I don’t like artificial light so only have some back lights on or none at all most of the time. And will sleep until 1pm with two big windows without blinds in my room.
Do you get to choose it with a budget or they buy whatever cheap, uncomfortable thing was available? I’d much rather use my own equipment if I’m gonna be using it everyday.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you use your blinker in a car?
3·2 years agoIt’s worse when you’re a pedestrian. If you swerve towards me and expect me to get out of your way you kinda have to tell me where you’re going. But if you walk a lot you get better at judging intentions by the changing speed of the car and distrasting blinkers.
*then we’ll have code that may or may not be ok and no more senior programmers to check it.



A good rule of thumb is to set each machine/website to its original language (English in most cases). Because when you set your devices to english then sites and apps will also try to change to english and that usually sucks for government websites for example.
