This got me. I noped out of the article because of it

Nostalgia Nerd did quite a long video on this

I have random issues with youtube subtitles in general. I often watch foreign language videos, occasionally for learning. Except sometimes whilst they work in the video’s language, the translations don’t…until I reload the page, or quit the browser. Or on specific computers which never have issues. 🤷‍♂️

Crows are the reincarnation of ravens?

Garmin?

https://pronouns.page/ has some good information for pretty much every language.

Technically surtitles?

I always knew it as “the beef walk”

Are bell peppers in Japan Blue?

If you need to use adb to set a flag once that’s not too bad I suppose…

I saw the photo with a person for scale and I thought…why?

Something about not eating the seeds whilst Hades is about, right?

Berlin Hbf. They have a single set of toilets about half the size of what you’d get in a shopping center which cost €2 with turnstyle access for a station the size of a cathedral with something like 20 platforms. 🙈

I don’t know why you would want to do that? Just drink less beer?

And you don’t even need to do that. Press “Reject all and subscribe” and then go back in your browser.

I’ve tried it. Can’t really see much difference from not using it. As others have said, being a personal user you’re not much of a target - being smart about what you run on your computer has much more of an effect on security.

In the future I probably won’t bother

I found a personal tutor and I spend an hour with them every week (online). Outside of that I watch YouTube videos (with English subtitles) and practice with friends who I have who know the language too. I have tried Memrise, Duolingo and others in the past and I have made considerably more progress this way.

Basically: find someone who can actually make sure you’re getting something from it and find a good way to practice too

I have an original reMarkable (not the 2) and whilst it’s a but slow for big fancy scanned PDFs it is generally pretty good for what I want. It does also run linux so you can ssh into it and do everything locally away from their cloud services which is nice

It makes me sad when I see the name because Kagi used to be a payments processor for shareware and essentially a predecessor to modern app stores…but before enshittification.
