@BeAware I'm neither a power user nor a UX expert, but usually I am better than average at doing stuff with UIs. The fact that I failed to intuitively do it well, and failed to figure out it was a thing after more than a year, is an illustration of an opportunity (and my imperfections too of course).

It may be solved through marketing via #fediTips , or through automatic language detection, or something else I didn't think of. The button color seems perfectly fine to me..

@BeAware for reference, looks like this in Tusky. Now that I see it, I can't think of an excuse I never tried it, but here I am admitting to it 😅

@BeAware I didn't even know if I set the language of this post properly, and I was pretty sure there's nothing in the (Tusky) ui right now that allows me to do it in a way that I wouldn't consider prohibitively difficult... I was wrong, but still...

I don't think it's fair to put that all on the user. So improving ux to set the language is also part of "fix your shit", imho.

… technology: 🤷

Here's a game we could play: point me to any law that prevents you to work from somewhere, and I'll point to a tech to work around it. Not sure I could beat any law, but I feel pretty confident.

@futzle ensure a vacuum around the building, put the measuring tape at the bottom, in view of a high speed camera. Chuck the barometer off the building such that it is filmed. Measure the speed from the footage. Calculate the height through kinetic energy (t0)=potential energy (t1).

@netbsd not sure if a specific policy is needed here.

1. The committing member is already responsible for copyright issues.
2. Whether code is generated by a technical system, or a natural neural net, doesn't make much difference on it's own in the suspicion of the code.
3. There are more tainted sources like stack overflow that would beg for a specific policy as well. Clarity and conciseness would suffer.

I think it should be a hiring policy instead.

@goatsarah I can happily confirm that not all heterosexual women are insecure like that 😇

(Now is one of the best opportunities you're likely ever to see to call me a wanker, which I'll then neither confirm nor deny, obviously) 😅

@goatsarah 😂but please don't ok?

They're kinda funny and cute when you just leave them be. Had to teach this to one of the kids who _always_ did _exactly_ what you described upon seeing any gathering of birds. Except for the "Dinner" part, unless "AAAAHH" is some language for that.

Even got hired by a dairy farmer to protect the grass. I shit you not.

Thanks for the memories 😁

@goatsarah but the amount of people with such diagnose doesn't match the amount of gluten free produce sold by an order of magnitude, right? I think the joke is targeting the gluten free shopper that also has saitan in their basket. (Really happened, I was there trying to keep it together 🤣).

@feditips thanks for being awesome, and I hope you don’t mind me asking you directly, but **is there a good writeup somewhere on character limits?**

I find character limits, obviously, limiting when writing. But I can also see the advantages when reading. Hoping to read the thoughts of others smarter than me on the subject before moving instances, or changing tactics. Any tips? :)

@bwh @rogward @MicroSFF no it isn't. I've seen and used this idea without attribution a decade before.

@goatsarah I never got why it's ok to refuse someone to use a toilet based on their gender. It should be about being polite and leaving the space safe and clean for the next person, instead of all this gender stuff. Where did the idea for gender based toilet access come from anyway? Isn't it just daft and ignorable?
