If I can install the program from a .deb I'll do it, even if it's outdated in comparison with the flatpak version. But if there's only a flatpak version I'll use it.
It's a general pattern someone noticed and then rhymed, that ⟨ie⟩ is more likely to appear than ⟨ei⟩ in English, except after ⟨c⟩. But it is not a real rule, there's no orthographic restriction behind that pattern, not even an underlying phonemic reason. So you're bound to see exceptions everywhere, to the point the pattern is useless as a mnemonic.
I made Siegfrieda a cardboard tank:
She loved it.
(I'm planning to redo it later on, to make it better-looking for humans. Plus build Kika a house, it'll be called "le Chat-eau".)
She's in deep reflection, regretting her last Tonitrus bolt.
...not really.
It was also full of things a few people would love, and most would hate. Eventually replaced by things that are bland, unoffensive, "one size for all"; nobody hates them, but nobody loves them either.
I live in a temperate region, so sub-zero temperatures are already kind of uncommon, even in winter. So it barely snows here - last two times were in 1975 and in 2013. (It does hail sometimes, though. Bloody hail last year killed one of my pepper plants ;_;)
That said I'd probably shape and pack individual blocks. Perhaps even glue them together with some water, if it's cold enough for that.
Corporations. The matter is how: walled gardens, exploiting the commons, EEE, creating new barriers of entry, etc.
I think AI could be used to check ones work so we don’t get typos in translations
It's great you mentioned this, because I forgot to do it: AI is a great proofreader. Specially if you're going to send the stuff to an actual = human proofreader later on; it means they won't need to pay attention to spelling or grammar, they can focus better on meaning and style.
Based on file modification dates, it's this drunken cow:
It's from October 2004. Initially I doodled it in my lab notebook; back then I was a Chemistry freshman, and I always doodled my stuff like this. Then I redid it in a computer.
(Her name is Vaquetila. Vaca = cow, etila = ethyl.)
“It's a real, serious failing of human beings that we take 5 years to translate [Ascendance of a Bookworm,] a series of 33 books, while AI does it in an afternoon,” he said.
If I had to guess, most of those five years were spent on a handful of specially problematic chapters, while the bulk of the books was relatively straightforward.
Quof said he does not take MTPE jobs because “I think I have enough skill in Japanese and English that MTL tools do not currently improve my output. It would make my workflow harder because, as one used to providing 97% or higher accuracy, I would feel compelled to fix the AI's errors up to that high standard, and that would slow me down dramatically.” But over the years, Quof has had a habit of checking his own translations against AI tools.
My experience pretty much matches Quof's: it takes longer to fix a shitty machine translation than to do it by hand. It is however useful to check how ChatGPT or Google Translate would do it, specially for the problem bits.
I spent 2 hours trying to make the RAM follow the color scheme
Dunno if you had the same issue as I did, where OpenRGB didn't detect the RAM sticks, and they simply used the default colour scheme. But, just in case this helps anyone here, here's how I fixed it in my computer. (I'll explain how through the terminal, for my own convenience, but do note you could use grub-customiser instead. Also, note that in my case the system is installed, not running through a USB stick.)
- Open a terminal. Then type
sudo nano /etc/default/grub, Enter, type your password, Enter. - This will open a text file in the terminal. Look for a line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. It'll have a few words after it, likequiet splash; after all those words, addacpi_enforce_resources=lax. Save (Ctrl+O) then exit (Ctrl+X) the file. - Still in the terminal, update grub, through the command
sudo update-grub. - Restart your machine, then open OpenRGB and tell it to "rescan devices". Now it should be detecting the sticks properly.
With that out of the way: Linux is not to blame for either issue, but Apple and mobo manufacturers respectively. Both love some vendor lock-in, and do everything they can to prevent compatibility between their own junk and competitors. (You can be pretty sure iTunes wouldn't work with Windows if MacOS market share was higher.)
I regret not posting it before Canvas 2025, but hopefully it'll be useful for people playing it in 2026. All letters are 5 pixels tall, and most 3 pixels wide (some 4, a few 5). I've also included a few Cyrillic letters and the digits.
I tried to make it even smaller, but it gets really funky.

You got me curious, so I checked it.
I downloaded this wordlist with 479k words, and used find+replace to count four strings:
cie,cei,ie,ei. Here's the result:ievs. 5649 (25%)eicie(74%) vs. 302cei(26%)So the basic rule (i before e) holds some merit, but the "except after
c" part is bullshit - it's practically the same distribution.Of course, this takes all words as equiprobable; results would be different if including the odds of a word appearing in the text into the maths.
