4·3 天前Which part of them did you date then? Just out of curiosity…

World News@lemmy.world•Australians could soon live and work in EU freely, with the same rules applying for EU citizens in Australia, as part of long-awaited trade dealEnglish
7·9 天前It already is—it’s been much easier for Australians to move freely round Europe for some time. We have friends with dual uk / au passports, and they always use their au docs when travelling in Europe.
Don’t worry—they’re all assigned to B ark.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Human em dash users, are you still afraid of being mislabeled as "AI"?English
32·4 个月前The character was created specifically because when we write we use different length dashes to mean different things—subtraction through to a pause for thinking.
The automated test will have no difficulty telling them apart. Are you saying it’s hard looking at the results of this tests? You might need to use a font that makes that easy (I agree many monospaced fonts don’t, but that’s not the character’s fault. Or include a step that replaces en with 2 hyphens and em with 3.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I created the weirdest political compassEnglish
1·5 个月前Among this chart’s many other issues raised elsewhere, Ada is in totally the wrong place. Probably more system than Rust right now, and definitely not obsolete.
Yeah, my eyes are so perfect, I read that as ‘cartoonists’ and spent a good few minutes confused.
Geez did they build that page with asp? Is janky-scroll a default setting?
