Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

🔗 Me, but elsewhere

  • Not-wired connections are always and without exception a workaround for devises where it is impossible or impractical to use a wired connection with.

  • Na ja, jetzt ist der Schuldige doch gefunden und kann durchs Dorf getrieben werden.

  • Hab neulich zufällig mal einen Film mit KI-Stimmen gesehen. Hab nach 5 Minuten abgebrochen - das klingt so unfassbar scheiße! Wenn das die Ukunft sein soll dann können wir es auch lassen.

  • Exactly! Your user data is stored in c:\users. This includes, well, your user data for all of the users, including all user-spefific configuration files and application data and actual files and directories created by the user.

    Unfortunately lots of configuration is stored in the registry and is useless for transitioning them over to Linux. Same with most Windows software that doesn't use the registry. You'll unfortunately also find configuration files all.over the place. Might it be in the application's installation directory c:\ProgramData, or somewhere else.

  • For English to German I don’t need machine translations, but yes: English to German translations are even more catastrophic. I sometimes translate from Polish. But I also tried some other languages … None of them produced results I’d consider good by modern standards.

    Translating something to English is slightly better, but if THIS is the best we can have right now, then the best we can have right now isn’t even close to what we COULD have right now (with the right training data and resources).

    I expect there’s a project you can join

    I did a quick research that took longer than I wanted it to take, and the Mozilla Corporation is really good in hiding anything even remotely related to how the translations work and what the community can do.

  • Firefox @lemmy.ml

    Translations are horribly bad! Is there a way to improve them?

  • die A is halt n bisschen besser

    Meine erste Überlegung wäre dann, „WARUM ist sie besser?“, und dann würde ich sowieso auf die Nährwerttabelle und/oder Zutatenliste gucken.

    Es ist völlig in Ordnung, wenn Leute anhand des Scores ihre Entscheidung fällen, für mich persönlich ist er aber nur wie ein weiteres Label, was die Hersteller auf die Verpackung drucken.

  • Malicious compliance is the best form of compliance.

  • Es gibt doch eh nur Rot bei Genussartikeln oder schöngerechnet Grün bei anderen Lebensmitteln. Wo ist das Problem? Abgesehen davon dass da vermutlich eh niemand ernsthaft drauf achtet.

    Wer sich wirklich damit auseinandersetzt, guckt doch sowieso auf sie Zutatenliste und nicht auf irgendwelche Ampeln oder Logos.

  • can’t figure this shit out!

    Oh they can. They just won't.

  • So Microsoft finally found a way to kill off the only actually good version?

  • I did, and I just don’t “feel it”. Those is all great software but none of them really fits my specific use case. They all seem to be deeply connected with desktop environments or being just plain old font managers.

    My dream is something like an image viewer, but for fonts. A bit like display from ImageMagick does it, but more like this.

  • Sounds like you have an awesome dad!

    how is a 36-year-old supposed to act?

    How ever they want!

  • So, what dependencies do the DE font viewers actually pull in?

    The ones specific to that DE, which I do not want.

  • Mmmh, nope, only the normal version available.

    The Flatpak version (or KCharSelect in general) unfortunately ignores the font file given on command line.

  • KCharSelect

    It just installs kcharselect … and figuratively half of KDE :)

    There seems to be a Flatpak available I’ll check out later when I have time to install hundreds of megabyte of depending other KDE-specific Flatpaks …

  • As far as I know, GNOME and KDE have had font viewers since time immemorial.

    I was talking specifically about web fonts and web font websites which help me not the slightest with my use case.

  • Ideally something that allows me to see the characters in a table, sorted by character blocks, like in the LibreOffice “Insert Special Characters” dialog, so that I’m not limited to some predefined text but being able to see all characters.

  • These types of apps became fairly irrelevant with the advent of Web Fonts and sites that already do all of this.

    That’s my point. All of those stupid modern things do not solve my issue of just double-clicking a local ttf file in my file manager to see some text rendered in that font. That is literally all I want to do.

    The fact that you’re asking for whatever tool to not use something like QT or GTK

    I don’t really care what graphics toolkit is used. I just don’t want something that is heavily interconnected with any type of desktop environment due to not wanting to install a metric shit-ton of dependencies 😉

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    A modern and simple font (pre)viewing application seems to be an impossible thing …
