A good rule of thumb is to set each machine/website to its original language (English in most cases). Because when you set your devices to english then sites and apps will also try to change to english and that usually sucks for government websites for example.

This might have been a link, not a search but still, enjoy.

Haha well the English have already butchered that name with the new spelling. They can have their pronunciation

Pretty sure that's Aristotle. But apparently the plural in Nahuatl is axolomeh so it doesn't work either

True, cause that's not how you pronounce axolotl

 

Final page with all the drawings. Strangely enough there is still some space left. Good job to everyone who participated!

Turns out this required much more space (or a smaller pen) but oh well.

 
 

Burn it all

 

Realized I didn't know what this word meant but this was the first thing that came to mind and it still kinda fits.

 

Last prompts have been hard to combine

I prefer to use a photo I took and then build the rest of the desktop theme around it. Then again you end up looking at the desktop very little so it doesn't matter too much.

And when there are lights it takes so long to pass through them because you have to take a huge detour around the cars and wait at multiple lights.

To be fair the same happens in Spanish with most acronyms

 

There was an attempt to draw shadows that clearly didn't go very well.

 

Got a bit lazy and didn't post every day. This is the page so far

Just finished Nation by Terry Pratchett and it was one of the most intense books I've read this year. It's supposed to be YA so didn't expect it to be this dark but it really pulls you in. If you like Terry Pratchett definitely give it a read.

From what I remember it's backwards compatible on lower levels but can you easily run a Windows 7 app on Windows 10? Windows 11 was a smaller change but then they force you to upgrade hardware which is the opposite of compatibility.

People are used to their workflows and windows makes it a big deal to update from one version to another. Especially if you've made particular setups or used hacks they're pretty much guaranteed to stop working. Linux doesn't usually do this but I'm getting the same issue with android where every update breaks something and it's worse because here there is no option to not upgrade.

Reading UIs is definitely a skill, I can navigate most menus regardless of language. But it makes it harder to design stuff for the average user.
