We actually have the same issue with our « quotes » and accentuated capital letters in French, so « l’État » sometimes becomes “l’Etat”.

Doesn’t work on a phone/tablet

Yeah, there are quite a lot of exceptions but “-e is female, otherwise is male” works most of the time. Then if you want to be more precise you can remember some generic exceptions like -age, -isme are male and -tion, -té is female. You’ll still have some exceptions like une souris, une vis, une dent, un câble, un graphe, un cône, une image (exception to the exception) but it probably works in about 80-90% of cases.

(Also “icône” is actually female in French)

In French we have a similar problem. Currently the most popular form is “citoyen.ne.s” or “citoyen.nes” (besides the good old “citoyens” or “citoyennes et citoyens”), which sometimes gets rendered as a website by some text displayers (e.g. les habitant.es). It’s technically supposed to be a middle dot (citoyen·ne·s) but nobody has that on their keyboard (I literally had to copy-paste it from wikipedia) so people use the point instead. We used to use parentheses like “citoyen(ne)s” but these have vastly be replaced by the dots.

This is the same in french, the gender of words is generally determined by their ending. (Which is not pronounced.)

In 10 years the poop post will be up there remembered as one of the legendary old asklemmy posts

I don’t know what Plato is either.

Your translation is correct btw although I’d translate it as “games and group chats” but it can mean both. And indeed “Chats” can mean cats but doesn’t here

Meanwhile in France

and OP

Actually OP’s meme is literally about taking a screenshot… that’s what the white bars are representing

What’s wrong with blockchain exactly beyond the fact cryptoscammers gave it a bad rep ? To my understanding blockchain has the same goal as the fediverse : decentralisation, and we should support it (the system, not the scammers using it).

Edit : Thanks all for the resources, I’ll check that out !

Same. Now leaving Reddit again

Or, ironically, looking right in the middle of the canvas. (Though you could have ended up in r/save3rdfartyapps).

So, you prefer letting those who stayed on reddit running the canvas with those “fuck spez”'s that will do absolutely nothing against Reddit traffic ?

I had pretty much never heard of it either till this morin, maybe one or two mentions on lemmy.
