• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it rude to reply using English under posts in a language you can’t speak?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you answer in the language you know best, it’ll be easier to others to understand or translate, especially if it’s English.

  You could translate your message to match the language of the comment, but if you don’t know the language, how can you know if it conveys your message correctly?

  Overall, I’d say it depends on the specific community. If you try to inject yourself into a conversation in a Japanese language community, it may indeed come off as rude or ignorant.

  The best solution may be to post in both languages?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I reckon this is the usage distribution of Lemmy servers that we'll end up with.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing about email is that the software is proprietary. Each of these providers has their own implementation of the interface, features, and integration with their tools (Google drive, photos, etc).

  As long as lemmy servers run lemmy software, this won’t happen, or at least won’t be an issue as you can move to another server and not have to change your usage habits.

  However if some server owners decide to fork Lemmy and develop their proprietary server, overhaul the UI, add features and attract users, it will start to become a problem.

  Hi, what do you like about boox nova? I have the Paperwhite (2022) and wondering if there’s a better alternative that isn’t Amazon. I do enjoy the page turn animation, does boox have it too?

  I love my 9 pro! The size is perfect, and i didn’t have to sacrifice on camera this time.

  Pixel 9 yes, but Pixel 7 didn’t have the telephoto camera that 7pro had.

  Like that time they made a giant hole in the screen and called it ‘dynamic island’ 😂

  It’s the iBump, it’s a haptic invention gently letting you know you have passed to the other half of the screen. They also made it visible to give you a gentle cue as to where the middle is.

  Idk, he popularized electric cars, it has to count for something. But yes, net loss.
