The guy writes a lot about UI design and I guess, bad/unexpected design amuses him. The hamburger menu uses an actual hamburger for the icon. In the winter, it will also snow on the webpage, with snowflakes covering up the content. And if you’re on desktop, you should try the dark mode.
Ooh, in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, when trying to enter the ability menu, it may tell you straight-up:
Thanks, game. Rub it in, why don’t you? 🥹
Apparently, there’s the Rwenzori mountains with glaciers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwenzori_Mountains
This map suggests that Mount Elgon in the east is also rather cold:
But from what I can tell superficially, it doesn’t have glaciers…
Well, you certainly have more of a dictionary available than I do. For me, it looks like this:
(Which, again, might actually be broken on my distro by excessive minimalism. No idea.)
My About→Components section in Kate says this:
Kate: 25.12.2
KDE Frameworks: 6.23.0
Qt: Using 6.10.1 and built against 6.10.1
NixOS 26.05 (Yarara) (Wayland)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.19.2
You could try setting the “Default language” in the Spellcheck settings to something else and see, if it still completes the same words, just to try to find out whether these dictionaries are connected.
But yeah, might be worth filing a bug report with the Kubuntu devs. At the very least, it would tell them this behavior may not be wanted by everyone, if it is intentional…
Yeah, I specifically buy cough drops that don’t taste overly good for that reason now…
I mean, if we go back to evolution for just a moment, there is evidence that homosexuality aided survival rates: https://britbrief.co.uk/health/research/homosexuality-evolved-as-survival-strategy-in-primates.html
So, the cum button may have actually come about through evolutionary pressure…
Reminds me of the glacier mice that got posted here a few weeks ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_mice
I don’t know why I should respond to that. You list a bunch of things I did not say and ignore that the main point of my comment was that there’s a difference between individuals and a celebration/commemoration. Feel free to disagree, but please don’t put words in my mouth to argue against.
Well, how crappy it is, is quite essential here. 😅
A non-crappy game, which is significantly more fun with friends, is what I would simply refer to as a “multiplayer game”.
Particularly simple games might also be deemed good “party games” (because you can simply chuck someone a controller and they can participate). But Overcooked also has a campaign mode, so I’d say it’s somewhere in between.
Well, and it doesn’t use stock textures/models, it doesn’t have funky/funny physics bugs etc., so I wouldn’t say Overcooked is crappy, which is why I personally would not deem it “friendslop” at all…
I do not think, it makes a difference who made the decision. PR is about how it looks to the outside.
If you wanted to play it anyways, then your messaging should include something which can be as simple as:
We gave women a choice and they want to play Overcooked, so that’s what we’re doing.
The thing is, anything you play on that occasion is going to be political, because they could be playing games for fun at any other point in time.
Perhaps taken to the extreme, I would argue that even if all living women came together and decided that it’s fun and they want to play Overcooked or similar, they would still want to be conscious of their messaging.
Partially, because non-women will be the recipient of that messaging. Partially, because women’s rights have a history that you want to commemorate on that day as well. Would the feminists of the past be happy with that choice, too? Would their sons and grandsons be, that are alive today?
But well, also just because it really isn’t hard to do better here. Especially when women were involved in that decision, they would more likely be aware of the struggle and able to steer clear of dumb messaging quite easily.
Hmm, that’s strange. Don’t think, it’s supposed to work like that, but that does not either seem like behavior that would manifest from a simple bug.
The words in your screenshot do seem to all be in the English dictionary, well, except for “trotz”, but that’s a German word, so might still be that it somehow takes a dictionary into account.
There might be some dictionary package installed through apt, which might enable that.
Can you check in the Kate settings under Editing→Spellcheck, if any languages show up there? On my system, I actually have none there. Perhaps, if I “fixed” that for me, I might end up with similar completions as you have there…
Also, sidenote: To my knowledge, the T+ icon means that it is a word completion (normally based on words in the document), and not a keyword completion or similar.
I don’t find downvotes useful for that. If no one tells me why they disagree, a negative number isn’t going to tell me that either. Not to mention that the most popular answer is often not equivalent to the correct answer.
But I also have the display of downvotes disabled, because I want to judge other comments without much bias.
I always hated the snowballing of downvotes. As soon as you’re at like -2, people will stop giving you the benefit of the doubt and just hit downvote some more, or even worse: Start harassing you, because you’ve said a thing that others disagreed with.
Admittedly, this was more of a problem on Reddit, haven’t seen that too much on Lemmy yet, but I don’t find seeing the downvotes particularly useful to begin with, so I’d rather not have the bias myself.
Well, there’s still a huge difference between individual women deciding they want to play a cooking game (or even want to conform to a traditional role model) vs. a celebration on the day associated with the fight for women’s rights framing women in a setting where they traditionally did not have rights.
I mean, I do assume this isn’t the only game and it isn’t as bad as this singular social post looks, but they could’ve easily steered clear of that whole problem entirely by picking virtually any other video game.
Yeah, my understanding of “friendslop” is that it’s a crappily-made game, which becomes fun with friends. I would not count Overcooked into that…
Oh man, I don’t want to get deep into all the politics involved, but man, this reads like complete non-sense:
The outage comes following Iranian attacks on the UAE as retaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
If they did specifically target US corporations in UAE, that would make some amount of sense as direct retaliation.
I guess, you can also attack UAE and hope that they pressure the US to stop invading.
But in any case, this seems like a really good way to drag more nations into the conflict, or at least to force them to become active, which is not in the interest of Iran.
I’ve already had my first few hours of sleep, will need to head back to sleep later. 👍
Oh man, seeing folks suggest it as a Discord alternative always had me uninterested, because I don’t even use Discord and it just seemed like yet-another-standard.
Now I’m reading this really technical title for a talk which mentions XMPP and I’m instantly sold.
Well, to be honest, “Movim” also sounded like a VC-funded startup. Looks like it’s a bus-factor-of-1 open-source project instead, which I have significantly more trust in.
^This comment is talking about the deluge of log messages you may or may not see (depending on the distro) while booting the system.
Just thought I’d add that, since the meme doesn’t actually mention booting. Not sure, where you got that from. 😅
I mean, I’m saying, I genuinely believe it’s just there to amuse the author, and whoever may share the same humor.
Lots of webpages were quirky like that, before it all got commercialized…
