wait re-toots (boosts) on Mastodon are not visible on Firefish?

Not to defend Twitter, but if by “dead” you mean “dying,” well yes, gradually. If you actually meant dead “dead,” not really.

Wow, you actually changed it! I was kind of shocked when I came back to my feed seeing UTC+2 in the title. Thanks! :D

Minor suggestion: write your time zones like UTC+2 and not CEST. I’m pretty sure most people outside Europe don’t know what the time zone CEST is. Yes, you provided a link that helpfully converts the time to the users’ local time zone, but sometimes it’s nicer to be able to know something without having to click into a link.

The “John Smith” in Chinese is 王小明 (pinyin: wang2 xiao3 ming2), the 王 being the family name and 小明 being the given name. The 王 is a very common family name (like Smith), 小, small, is a diminutive prefix often added to nicknames, and 明, bright, is a commonly used character in given name. I should note that this is only used for males and there isn’t really a “Jane Smith” for females.

There is one way OpenAI can be near 100% sure whether a piece of text was written by or with the help of ChatGPT. They could compare the piece of text against every conversation ChatGPT has ever had. (not saying it’s a good idea)

Trucks the same size as the right one are the norm in East Asia. Trucks like the left one are basically non-existent. (There are trucks of the same size or bigger here, but they don’t waste so much space on the passenger seats.)

Agreed. Trying to find answers for questions probably already asked on Discord is impossible.

I believe the 0, 1, 1+ reply counts is a setting available to your instance admins. Mine actually does count.

I’m not colorblind and see 74, but I can see how it can be read as 21. The bottom part of 2 is a less saturated orange.

Me too. I often post stuff before going to bed and wake up to dozens of reply the next day

Good afternoon from Asia! (UTC+8)

I think the admins deliberately chose not to censor “fuck spez” because it makes people think they are a free platform

Well I think if teleporters actually do get invented one day, the law would make the clone legally the same person as the original

Non-US gang

Why is the trans community listed separately from LGBTQ? Isn’t the T literally for transgender?

why is this somehow disturbing lol

thankfully Chinese has always had a singular they, “他.”

for your convenience:

• 我: I, 我們: we
• 你: you, 妳: feminine you, 你們: plural you
• 他: he or sing. they, 她: she, 他們 plural they

by the way, 他 used to be he, she, or sing. they. the usage of 她 as she and 妳 as you (for females) is relatively recent. even now, you could replace all the ones with a “女” on its left with its “亻” counterpart and no one will say a thing. they are also pronounced identically.

I’m pretty sure plenty of singular theys have been invented in your language. It’s just that it’s not widely used at all and people would never understand you if you try to use it in a sentence.
