Then it's probably a case for a complaint to your local consumer protection org. It's not about calling it "sausage" without a qualifier. To most people sausage only describes the shape and you need to read the ingredien

Same discussion in Germany and I wouldn't say we have a strong (food) culture, surely not to the same level as France. This is simply protectionism by the food lobby, I know zero people who take offense at calling oat milk oat milk.

Now that distinction is definitely lost on this non-native speaker. Mostly because we have burger as a loan word and a sandwich is simply not defined in German, and only used sparingly. (Except a classic Club Sandwich, I guess.)

Not sure this is a good example because those "fancy words reserved for thing from specific origin" has nothing to do what most people want.

Yes, and sorry if that sounded too confrontational. I didn't take a lot of new things from this and I know many people here read the comments first, and in this case I prefer the source material.

Can we normalize people posting a readable link like https://nitter.net/travisgoodspeed/status/169871524959395856... as we do for paywalls?

Not everyone thinks purely in how good of an investment it is. While there are of course downsides, there are advantages, like just decorating and building out stuff just how you like, and not having to ask your landlord. Also people who ar

Interestingly my number #1 killer feature for N++ seems to be "having multiple unsaved files open and they are transparently saved and restored after restarting the app". In the past I've judged people who did this with a &qu

I didn't get that _at all_. If you are interested in stuff that is not related to your work (so learning on the job is out), what else would you do? To me this sounded like the author likes to read and learn about things, but these jus

Can't help you, in this age of current flux I'm just pointing out that what had worked easily for 10+ years is now not so great, and if you are still an active logged-in Twitter user you might not notice. (Sorry for the aside, but

You do realize that a twitter thread is about as useful to many people as posting an internal Facebook link these days? To my surprise I can see the post and not a login window as most days, but there are no replies.

I was a bit surprised that Luxembourg is actually quite a bit bigger than I had thought, especially as I wasn't too far off with the population. In my mind it wasn't SO much bigger than the other small European countries it's

If it's worth the money you could look for a cheapish keyboard with support for QMK or any other custom firmware and map some buttons to either F13-F24 or hard to trigger combos like ctrl-alt-shift-P or the like.

That is the other end of the spectrum. I'm not really complaining about public transport here in Munich (hey, one of the biggest cities in Germany) but only some subway lines go every 5 minutes, most buses and trams go every 10 minutes

Now I'm curious how you think it is non-representative? If we're going off waiting times for government stuff it seems to be 10x better than Berlin but 3x worse than any small town where I have friends.
