What is a gender neutral honorific for non-binary folk? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] classic@fedia.io 3 points 22 hours ago

I'd low key support using teacher. You could pull it off. If everyone can be "my friend," which is used, they can be teacher. Sends a nice mssg. Even if they are not my friend, they can be my teacher

Check their question again. It's pretty ingrained in some dialects

That completely tracks for the way tech was conceptualized back in the sci-fi heydays. I'm going with this

Thank you for giving voice to the annoyance that insipid headline roused in me. Such a very American thing to say

Maybe it's an mbin / fedia issue, but don't see where I can do that for videos. Also, it's not all videos that this happens with. Somehow just the occasional newsreel. This one was even odder, in that the video never showed up, despite it playing. I sussed out with post was playing based on the content. It was playing despite showing as just a link to the article

What's your go-to online dictionary? (fedia.io)
 

English language for me, but list options for other languages to benefit others!

Do you wish a Happy Mother's Day to your friends who are mothers or just to those in your own family? (fedia.io)
 

And what's a good friendly message or meme to send just to say I think they're great at being mothers?

I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? (fedia.io)
 

I'm looking to cart products around to sell on foot.

Basically I want a box on wheels with bars in the front that I can lift and then walk forward. Similar to the idea of a rickshaw, but instead of seats for people, a container that can hold ~200lbs of weight. Or the type of thing you'd connect to a bike, except I want to just pull it on foot. The added element is that I want to be collapsible or able to be dismantled when not in use. Surely this must exist but I have no idea what term to use to search for it.

"Rickshaw" mainly brings results related to pedicabs. The closest I got was "utility cart" like this for example. But the problem with these, unlike a rickshaw style design, is they don't scale well with the addition of weight where two wheels is easier than 4, depending on the surface. Also, versions that can be taken apart of collapses aren't rugged enough.

I've used a hand truck put into the flat configuration in the past. But that lacks the box component to contain the products. I can stack boxes on it, but that gets unstable. And, again, the 4 wheel flat design doesn't scale well with weight compared to the rickshaw concept.

So, yeah: what do you call that?

Just played Area 51/Maximum Force at a retro-arcade. Are light gun shooter games still a thing? Any recent versions available for PC? (fedia.io)
 

And, if they are, any recommendations for a gun controller?

If you donate to a service, do you so anonymously? (fedia.io)
 

Like if you want to donate to a website that maintains trackers, or files, do you take steps to make it anon, or just use paypal or whatever? If you do, how do you go about doing that?

There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation (fedia.io)
 

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

Is there a way to crop the field of vision / frame of the webcam? (fedia.io)
 

I'm on a Legion Lenovo Slim 5. The webcam shows too much area around me during video calls (the browser based teleconferencing tool that I use doesn't have settings to adjust this).

I tried the cameractrls app, but it doesn't offer any way to crop or zoom in. Any other suggestions?

Is there an e-reader that would allow you to edit an .epub file? (fedia.io)
 

Beyond just marking up an e-book, are there any devices that would also allow you to edit the file itself?
