  1. The Google's Advanced Protection landing.google.com/advancedpro
    page starts its description with the phrase "Gmail blocks over 10 crore phishing attempts every day.".
    Yes, it is a perfectly chosen wording for a globally targeted text to use Indian-adjusted numerical term.

  3. Mein neues Debian schreibt nach

    % man sed

    Zeug raus wie:

    BEZEICHNUNG
    Sed - Stromeditor zum Filtern und Umwandeln von Text

    Find ich gut, dass jeder das in seiner Sprache haben kann. Aber wenn man seit 40 Jahren mit dem englischen Kram zurecht kommt, liest sich das einfach nur komisch.

    Und nu bin ich mal weg um rauszufinden, wie ich die englischen manpages zurück bekomme. 🧐

    Viel Spaß mit dem Stromeditor beim unterdrücken des Musterbereichs.😉

  9. Dear Americans, in french we put a space before double punctuation. So please stop showing me an emoji panel each time I type " :".

    It adds a random emoji and I have to type escape each time.

  11. Une initiative qui vise à améliorer la gestion de la traduction d'applications.

    Il s'agit d'un écosystème d'outils et de plugins réunis autour d'un nouveau format de fichier ouvert.

    La promesse est assez séduisante, à tester.

  13. L'API JavaScript `Intl.Segmenter` peut être utilisée pour compter le nombre de caractères visibles dans une chaîne de caractères, et non pas le nombre de caractères unicode comme ce que fait `String.length`.

  14. Hello fediverse!
    I guess a short #introduction is due: I am an architect and academic trying to avoid other social media and eager to see the fediverse grow. I wish all universities would have their own instances but they don't (yet), so thanks a lot to the @FediverseFoundation for hosting me.
    I teach #architecture , #construction and #BuildingMaterials but I am also engaged in #UniversityManagement and #internationalisation .
    I will probably post about all this and many other random topics in both English and German, sometimes Spanish, eventually Italian. You can filter languages in your preferences in case you don't want a Babel in your timeline.
    Give me some time to get started and see you out there in the 'verse!

  16. [screenreader users, the following contains a lot of non-alphabet characters]

    Fix/Workaround for me - still interested in info:
    SendEnv LANG LC_* in my *local* .ssh/config

    ls output is now 'Árstíðir - Hvel' etc etc

    Update:
    I am going to point towards #tmux and #WindowsTerminal here too, I can paste "Árstíðir - Hvel - 12 Unfold.flac" but touching a file with UTF-8 characters causes the same issues.

    #PuTTY displays it correctly! The only difference I can see is that LANG="en_AU.UTF-8" is exported.

    #Linux friends, what do I do with a filename like "''$'\303\201''rst'$'\303\255\303\260''ir - Hvel - 12 Unfold.flac'"? (arstidirsom.bandcamp.com/album if you're wondering)

    The correct, or original filename from the zip file is "Árstíðir - Hvel - 12 Unfold.flac"

    If I set LANG to something with UTF-8, I get _rst__ir - Hvel - 12 Unfold.flac, but ls *12\ Unfold.flac does not find it.

    What's the equivalent of hexdump for filenames? This particular example is on ZFS but I have seen the same on ext4 and btrfs so I am sure it's not (entirely) filesystem specific.

    If you search for this answer, what keywords did you use? I am having trouble here.

  20. En ce moment je m'occupe de l'#internationalisation des textes d'une #codebase américaine. C'est passionnant de voir toutes les constructions hyper langue-centrées quand une #app n'est pas du tout pensée pour la trad dès la conception.

    Exemple spécial US: ils utilis(ai)ent la librairie #inflection pour pluraliser des noms de ressources dynamiques dans l'UI. Le·a dev qui a fait ça s'est sans doute senti très malin sur le moment, sauf que non.
