Everybody loves cake!

Don’t forget lying and defaming one of the most prominent third party devs.

Like Bluetooth and IoT before it.

I hate this so much. There are plenty of aesthetically pleasing ways to avoid it. Windows 8 was particularly bad, my recollection was they literally looked exactly the same there, no difference at all. Luckily I only had to use it for a very brief unpaid internship.

It’s viable, StackExchange as a company is just shit. See: then never listening to meta, listening to random Twitter users more, and defaming their volunteer moderators.

Nobody here is suggesting for you to use Yahoo Answers.

Like I said, I’m not talking about specific sites, I’m talking about moderation style.

My questions weren’t homework problems with 500 duplicates. Maybe that type of shit being the most common in the vote to close queue is why fuckfacerubberstamper can’t be bothered to actually think about what they’re closing as dupes.

Like Lemmy? The site we’re all using?

But no my point wasn’t about a specific site, it’s about the moderation approach. Do you really think there’s no middle ground in approach to moderation between Yahoo Answers and StackOverflow?

Never said we shouldn’t be translating the names of countries, only that there is a reason to think we shouldn’t. Because the comment I was replying to said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.”

Never said it was correct to not translate country names. Only that there is a reason to think they wouldn’t be.

You don’t think there’s any middle ground between the two? None whatsoever?

The humans of StackOverflow have been pricks for so long. If they fixed that problem years ago they would have been in a great position with the advent of AI. They could’ve marketed themselves as a site for humans. But no, fuckfacepoweruser found an answer to a different question he believes answers your question so marked your question as a duplicate and fuckfacerubberstamper voted to close it in the queue without critically thinking about it.

Finally we can get into Eurovision!

Your name is your name. Things like Jack versus Jacques or Matthew versus Mateo exist, but those aren’t your name.

Thanks, fixed

But they specifically said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.” Which there absolutely IS a reason to expect that.

In Spanish it’s Estados Unidos which seems like a translation of the words.

No… I have a name. Someone talking to me in a different language doesn’t make my name different. It’s intuitive to think country names are the same.

In Spanish Germany is Alemania. Just to add more confusion to this topic.
