Sounds like a skill issue. Bad translations are bad because they don’t find good ways to translate these kinds of things. As you say, translation isn’t just about the words, it’s about cultural context. But, bad translations aren’t inevitable just because good translations are difficult.

I really enjoy the killer sudoku, but the engine that drives it is unfortunately absolute garbage. I suffer through it, but the gameplay gets tedious fast because of the engine. The settings seem to leans towards either constantly filling and changing the cell candidates I’ve chosen or becoming tedious by not removing obvious and trivial candidates. Like for killer sudoku it automatically fills candidates up to and including the number being summed; e.g. the total for a zone is 7, it removes 8 and 9 but not the 7 itself which can be trivially excluded from any zone with more than one box. If I left the game automate too much it mangles the candidates I’ve already selected, especially if I ever need to use the undo option because I inevitably fat fingered a digit. Haven’t found much better on mobile online though, especially for killer sudoku.

You’ve just traded down votes for the report button.

I say they are two different use cases. There is often a very wide gulf between a comment that I feel does not contribute to good discussion and one that is so heinous that it needs to be removed. Most of your comments for instance: pretty naive and banal adding little good to the discussion overall, but I don’t feel that you’ve said anything hateful, obscene, or aggressive enough to warrant total removal. Usually I just downvote and move on, especially when I don’t want to hear that person’s bad take reply on my own point of view. I’ve made an exception here for you simply because you are trolling all over this thread, seemingly inviting downvotes. But, I’m going to block you and move on because you’ve killed any interest I have in this thread or the larger discussion. I still don’t think your comments rise to the level of reporting.

Reports and blocks aren’t a replacement for downvotes and if your instances doesn’t federate downvotes you shouldn’t use them that way.

I used to think coconut water tasted a little funny (odd mix of sweet, earthy, and umami, not like the coconut flesh at all). Then one day after a particularly long hot hike, I tried it again. I’d been hiking through a natural area that had lots of coconut palms. Crews had been clearing out some invasive species. This is relevant because they’d been using the same trails and had cut open and presumably drunk the water from dozens of coconuts along the way as they worked. These guys must know something I didn’t, so I looked into coconut water as a drink because I’d never heard of such a thing at the time.

Anyway, this is all to say that I gave coconut water a second chance when my body really needed it and although it tasted exactly as I remembered it I suddenly found that it tasted fucking amazing. I’ve been a convert since then. I used to drink Gatorade, but now Gatorade just tastes salty, like Kool-aid made with ball sweat by comparison.

I’m lost. She’s beautiful is in both, and so is he. Where is the part I’m supposed to be angry about? Boobs. Huzzah!

My favorite is to stuff dates with blue cheese and bacon. So much sweet, rich, fatty, salty, and umami that it is almost unbearable. But, it’s also kind of like chewing on the toes of a fresh mummy if blue cheese isn’t your thing.

This reads like an LLM with a large vocabulary failing to understand the actual context of the conversation. Lots of big words hurled with reckless abandon, lacking any real meaning and having little to do with the actual point.

You are wildly misinformed about how language works.

When I call a fern (or wolf, crab, crow, whale, shark), at that level of syntactical broadly used common word I’m mostly talking about the phenotype, not the genotype. If someone was saying something about a specific fern, then we can argue against those romantic idea of deep time, a little. I mean, we’re probably all descendants of some ancient panspermia event anyway if you want to feel some connection to the ancient forgotten past.

Yes. I’m assuming your just some dude and not a telecom with teams of lawyers.

The article you keep linking disagrees.

Although having given its name to the word henge, Stonehenge is atypical in that the ditch is outside the main earthwork bank.

An atypical example of something is still a “true” example of the thing, especially given that the very term derives its origin from Stonehenge itself.

Edit: Oops, mistook 2 basic pedants regurgitating trivia as the same person.

Your bizarre logic isn’t even self consistent. I guess I should have known better than to question someone who also thinks holding kinves on a swinging door with magnets is a good idea. You and your kitchen are going to hurt someone.

Just like guessing the temperature of the inside of things and instead opt to only get the temperature at the surface of things? That doesn’t sound great for most kitchen related temperature readings.

The Visitors is so existentially haunting.

Where do you think they got the idea from?

This needs to be copypasta’d as a reply to every comment suggesting that opening up jellyfin to the internet is easy and everyone should do it to get away from Plex.

So, by that definition and the definition everyone else is using, the game has been banned from various marketplaces for games. Context matters. In this context ban is used EXACTLY the same way we talk about banned books at the library.

Self-hosting is inherently not low effort. This isn’t memes or shitposts. This is people helping people that are trying to help themselves, a.k.a. people making an effort. Communities rely on the discretion of mods and rules specific to the community focus. If this community didn’t have some kind of bar to meet for low effort posts it would drive away participants and contributors more interested in higher effort and more interesting topics. It gets real old seeing people ask and answer the same basic questions about Plex, Jellyfin, *arrs, and docker all the time. Worrying about if this rule will be abused seems premature. Besides (as others have pointed out) there are other communities with similar interests, if you’re that concerned that your spammy no-context YouTube video got deleted, please go try your luck elsewhere.
