  • What are some loanwords (originated in another language and usually retains original spelling in equivalent english) for concepts, things, or experiences that English doesnt necessarily have yet?

    Jump

  • The English equivalent would be "God willing" and in Dutch, a lovely archaic phrase: "Zo de Heere wil en wij leven"

  • Programming. I don't like where it's heading and I don't like the culture

  • Clickbait title, tldw?

  • Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?

  • I like retro programming, in particular Windows 2000.

    Now I'm making a little 3D toy now that works with OpenGL on Windows with WGL and on X11 with GLX (also on Cygwin). No third party abstractions!

    I want to keep adding backends, like DX 7, 9, Vulkan, WebGL, bare Linux KMS, and then stuff like screen space reflections, shadows, materials, ray tracing where possible, maybe get it running on a console or two too.

  • I was about to move on until I read someone asking if this was a Bit Trip Runner clone. NOW you have my attention

  • [AskEurope] what's your country's problem?

    Jump

  • Netherlands: successive governments have been putting off actually addressing issues causing them to become a pile of confounding crises, such as nitrogen emissions and housing, which complicates migration, etc.

  • Are private email providers worth it?

    Jump

  • Note that ProtonMail actually supports automatic encryption to email accounts that publish their public keys in a Web Key Directory, which I’ve set up for mine. When you type such an email address in the To field, it’ll turn into a special color with a lock symbol.

    Likewise, ProtonMail also exposed a WKD so people can send encrypted emails to ProtonMail accounts. I don’t know of any mail clients that support this though (I used the command line to pull keys)

  • What is “cheese” called in your language?

    What TV show intro will you never skip?

    Jump

  • Flikken Maastricht. Not because it’s so good but we always try to match the drum beats in the intro

  • Show me your iOS/macOS bugs

  • iPhone SE2:

    1. Use until it turns off due to empty battery
    2. Put on charger, wait for it to boot.
    3. Unlock at the earliest opportunity.

    Problem: after unlocking, the background disappears (goes black).

    Only the home screen though, the lock screen wallpaper works. ‘Fix’ is to change the wallpaper.

  • Are there really only a few New 3DS exclusive games?

    Jump

  • No it isn’t, just checked my copy to be sure. I played it on my regular 3DS XL.

  • How to repair unresponsive Mega Drive/Genesis d-pad?

    Jump

  • I did get the M30. It's delightful but there's one problem - it looks like The Lion King is one of the few games the Retro Receiver has a problem with. Any button presses while holding a direction on the D-pad interrupt the direction on the D-pad. So a roll becomes a crouch and a running jump becomes a standing jump. I've reached out to support, hopefully they can help, otherwise I'll have to return it.

    Jump

  • I ended up applying something called Liquiwire, which seems to work well so far! I can finally play The Lion King properly again _.

    Jump

  • That looks interesting and worth trying. I'll have a look to see if I can find anything like that locally

  • Is buying a used controller out of the question?

    The backup plan is to do either that or get an 8bitdo M30 with a retro receiver!

  • It’s how non-Latin Unicode domain names are encoded, in this case one made out of Japanese characters. I suppose it depends on the browser whether or not it shows them.

  • Just Stop Oil protester, 78, has jail term extended after no suitable tag found

    Jump

  • The A12 protest is very willing to coordinate emergency routes, in any case they allow for emergency service passage (this regularly happens), and their location is easily routed around. Overall their impact is less than run of the mill roadworks and not comparable in the slightest to a major event.

  • I hope they don't organise marathons or street fairs where you're at, or worse, resurface a road.
