sirnak@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•Android Auto gets a Google Maps redesign with sidebarEnglish3·2年前I agree about the zoom buttons. But the rest looks quite handy. Changing orientation and (un)muting took too much interaction and therefore attention.
The post title contradicts the abstract. Gboard does not transmit the content “only” telemetry data.
Happy KeepassXC User reporting and there actually is a browser plugin that works flawlessly.
sirnak@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your favourite analogies for explaining difficult or complex concepts?2·2年前Nice example for borrowings! I was thinking about this in the context of learning a new language.
Imho schools put way too much emphasis on the grammar vs the vocabulary. At least that’s what I experienced in three different countries, where you would learn 4 different past tenses but not be able to use any of it because you’re missing the vocabulary.
Being able to say “Where restaurant/hospital/train station?” is much more helpful than being able to just say “Where is the restaurant?”. So I guess my argument applies to learning new languages, where I think vocabulary is the more decisive factor but I agree that in it’s essence a languages grammar counts more.
sirnak@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your favourite analogies for explaining difficult or complex concepts?4·2年前I get the analogy but don’t agree with the reasoning. Or maybe it depends on the circumstance. But for foreign languages I would suggest it’s the other way round: The fur (grammar/prononciation) might look (sound) nice, but it’s the vocabulary that bring the actual meaning to whatever you say.

sirnak@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?1·2年前Marxism–Leninism (at least that’s what I made of it after hearing about the admins being tankies)

sirnak@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are lemmy and other fediverse platforms profitable?English2·2年前This is just for the statistics that show the number of active users on a platform/instance/community level.
For those (like me) who were not aware of
git bisect
:The
git bisect
command is a powerful tool that quickly checks out a commit halfway between a known good state and a known bad state and then asks you to identify the commit as either good or bad. Then it repeats until you find the exact commit where the code in question was first introduced.
sirnak@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you think that Lemmy will last or will it die in a few weeks?English6·2年前I guess a big spike is still ahead, which will be around Saturday, once the 3rd party reddit apps shut down for good.
sirnak@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you think that Lemmy will last or will it die in a few weeks?English3·2年前I think the entry barrier is still higher than reddit. So I doubt we’ll see reddit users migrate by the millions because not everyone believes in free and open platforms like most of us do. But I’m excited to see what happens on Saturday when 3rd party apps shut down.
This does not sound legal. What country are we talking about?
