It is my personal nightmare. I want to write custom css to customize my Homeassistant. Only to find out every single thing is in a shadow root and I cannot write css to adress what I want to change. WHICH WOULD BE REALLY SIMPLE IF I CAN WRITE PLAIN OLD CSS.
I can't believe how extremely mad and frustraded I became when I found out - writing this out fills me with rage.
It is the reason why I have Windows tablets not Android ones. I know there are OS updates. And once they are dead I have options for Linux tablets now.
From the experience of my one man big web project with 12 languages I had a hard time setting up a search that ignores things like éê from other languages in postgres while mariadb innodb just ignores it.
When I was 14-18 I watched anime (japanese dubs with eng subs). The censorship of the german dubs got me into it and I hated german subs plus the english subs were faster and the germans often were double translated (jap > eng > ger).
My english grades were very good thanks to it. Now I'm exposed more to english (movies, shows, internet, os) than german I've switched to german subs and started watching anime again 20 years later.
I keep fucking up numbers as german numbers are one-hundred-five-and-fifty instead of one-hundred-fifty-five and too many of my thoughts are in english.
There is a small movement trying to make both acceptable
> German numbers are one-hundred-five-and-fifty instead of one-hundred-fifty-five and too many of my thoughts are in english
Both are fine in the UK, though the "five-and-fifty" form is somewhat old fashioned. My Grandmother used to say numbers like that, especially for time. I refer you also to "Sing a Song of Sixpence"

I agree, and it is an unusual turn of phrase these days, but I think it's the scenario here that would be confusing. The number 68 bus is a label rather than a quantity, which makes a difference.
Maybe this one of those sites that don't let you view them from outside their intended region, but I'd use 403 for that, so I assume it just got hugged
Funny side note google translate maims that large first line translating it (correctly but also incorrectly) as "Also twenty-one and not just twenty-one!". Just a funny note where the translation is content correct but not context correct.
Would you have recommendations for an English speaker trying to learn German? Where do I go to find anime with good German subtitles? Or, maybe even a German dub?
proxer.me is a prominent German anime/manga community (needs login for seeing episodes). German-language stuff is typically licensed and needs to be watched elsewhere though.
Yeah my native language is afrikaans which also has the 4 and 20 for 24 vibe. For me the difficulty is was with times tables strangely enough, as long after I started thinking primarily in English I was still doing times tables in afrikaans
And then they redesign everything every time. W8, W10, W11 - W11 is the biggest offender with changing the context menu. The only positive thing I can say about Windows these days is it does work really really really well with touchscreen input.
imho as a surface pro user who doesn't use the keyboard cover, that's a significant overstatement.
it's much, much better than it used to be, but there are so many inconsistencies and annoyances that I would be hard pressed to recommend it. selecting text is painful. the on-screen keyboard is decent but swipe input won't register half the time and it routinely fails to open when it should or stay closed when it shouldn't.
with a pen, it's extremely picky with tap inputs. if the pen tip moves even a mm after touching, it's registered as a mouse drag, and unlike with mice there's no way to adjust the sensitivity or register a deadzone. handwriting to text is ok, but its constantly shifting interface regularly leads to errors and gestures like striking out or replacing a letter rarely works on the first (or even third) try.
with both pen and osk, text prediction / spell correct is utterly moronic. often reaching for unusual words or proper names instead of a more common word.
I will give them credit for getting to this point and I'm sure many of the inconsistencies come from having to support a wide variety of apps and backwards compatibility. regardless tho, it will be a long while yet before it's usable as a touchscreen-primary OS, let alone "really good".
On W10 you can use the full keyboard layout and undock it to move it where you want. On W11 this changed and once you undock the full keyboard layout it becomes a different layout. This has bitten me quite a bit as some fullscreen applications will disappear behind the keyboard.
Also it is impossible to turn off text prediction on the keyboard. I don't want and need it so it blocks screen space.

This was always the point, wasn't it? MS wanted Windows to compete more closely with the iPad with the Surface - it just turned out that only parts of what they tried were good (the Metro style turned into Fluent).
I've been using Windows since 98 and I frankly feel like the current UX is at a high point. It's responsive, thoughtfully laid-out, and supports modern stuff like omnisearch (I have configured my Start Menu to NOT give me Bing results) and multiple desktops.
The enshittification is a real shame because I've been really enjoying the changes.
Because they are a discord user. And don't have a forum account.
In todays world forums can also be a pain as looking at picture attachments most of the time require accounts.
