It drives me up the wall that steam has data on all of its games about whether it has voice or subtitles in particular languages, but refuses to let me filter by “games voiced in X language”. So instead I have to click into each and every one to see if it has the tick or the cross.
This is also a clever idea!
Yeah, using a smart font is a good solution.
But once you’ve got cars on the road in both the first and second combination (or first and third, or whatever) then you can’t easily tell if it’s 111-III or III-111 or II1-11I.
God, I’ve felt such pain letting go of old computers that no longer function; with some, that had been with me for a long time, I went through significant effort to try to resuscitate them. Really makes me think that I’m not prepared for when our pet dogs go…
Ideally a good 10-20 seconds beforehand.
I pay for YouTube premium. Although I’d prefer to find an EU alternative, I really have no problem paying for a service that I consider worth the price.
A red flag for me, is if I’m paying for a service and they still show me adverts.
That’s fair.
Sure there’s that. I’m just trying to help you understand the viewpoint of some of the people that are heavy users of YouTube, and why there are currently no good alternatives, as you said “I really struggle trying to understand”.
I’m sure, like me, there are other people with their own alternative valid reasons for using YouTube for enormous amounts of time.
Just because some of the content on a platform is bad or not to our tastes, doesn’t mean it all is, and it certainly doesn’t mean that the users are wrong for using that platform in a way that suits them.
I do disagree with the publishing of content that is hateful or deliberately trying to misinform people, and I think YouTube has a lot of that, I’d obviously prefer it didn’t.
I use YouTube extensively (I mean, 2-5 hours a day) and 7 days a week for years now; I use it for language learning, there is really nothing better than normal people chatting (to the camera or between themselves) about regular daily stuff that I’m also interested in, to improve comprehension, I’d love to find any source as rich as YouTube. Peertube is hopeless, I tried and failed there due to a complete lack of content (though I do check in occasionally, I’d love if some of my subscribed YouTubers would start publishing on that platform… Though I don’t know if there are any monetary incentives for them to do that?).
Can I get an explanation of what it feels like to be happy and angry?
So the only wasted lives are the ones you have left when you complete the game…
The wizards series of the discworld books are by far my favourite, but for exactly the reason you’ve set out. (Similarly with the witches)
The dialogue between the faculty is so believable and so stupifyingly inane and political that it’s hard to say that anything is more probable.
Anyone actually interested in how magic works gets ignored and all that really matters is where the next good meal is coming from.
Just one of the countless reasons that Terry pratchett is a gem of an author.
Do it over a sink, hold both items one in each hand, pour with confidence.
I didn’t know this, and I found it super helpful!
I also didn’t know about backslashes
I just used double carriage returns like a wild savage!
Thanks very much :)
