    I have the device in Spanish but set the app to English cause the majority of content I consume is in English so that way it doesn’t auto-translates audio and titles into Spanish.

    However now is the other way around, the few Spanish creators I follow are auto translated into English.

    Is it too difficult to set a list of languages I understand and don’t translate the ones in the list?




  • I saw a video about a support group for NK defectors in SK.

    The main reasons for some people regret leaving NK were:

    • They were born and raised in a rural environment without any technology and in SK you must know to use a digital device for almost all jobs.
    • They miss family, friends, their environment, etc. They are now in a very strange place without the people from their lives.
    • Some are treated as second class citizens, targeted cause being tech illiterate and having a noticeable different accent.





  • As other mentioned, lack of physical buttons.

    Minimalistic interfaces in software:

    • In websites they waste a lot of real estate on the monitor.
    • They make harder to find things navigating menus and submenus that should have the settings you are looking for but they decided that it should be better to bury it somewhere else.

    Apps and websites copying the designs/colour scheme of popular ones. How many Slack looking websites are too much?

    Copying IKEA furniture design, I don’t like most of IKEA designs and the sensation of making your personal space identical to thousands of other people personal spaces. I don’t have an issue with IKEA itself, my issue is that you try to find alternatives looking elsewhere and is the same thing, sometimes inspired, sometimes a clear copy, and most of the time even worse quality.

    I’ve been looking for a wall shelf for almost a year and it seemed that every company, every store had the same ugly designs varying a little and with different prices. I’ve just bought one that it was the less ugly I could find, it was expensive and the materials quality is crap.










  • Usually the arguments I saw in favour of decriminalisation instead of legalisation are:

    1. Taxes, nobody wants to pay taxes
    2. The introduction of licenses, regulations, bureaucracy and any other burden that having a business or being an independent contractor requires.
    3. The government knowing perfectly who is a sex worker in the case that it decides to ban it again and go against them.

    I’m in favour of legalisation and proper regulations (I think in professional porn industry actors/actresses are required to be tested periodically), however I also worry about the point 3.


  • Not the one you replied to.

    Decriminalise (the proper word) is to stop prosecuting people, it still illegal but not criminal charges would be presented to people breaking the law, maybe civil fines at most.

    Basically, the system turns a blind eye on the topic.

    Legalise is to change the laws to not only no longer to be a crime, but also recognises that is legal to do it. Usually it involves regulations on the topic.

    Take alcohol for example, let’s imagine if you have a store that sells alcohol and the police pays you a visit.

    Scenario where is illegal to sell alcohol: The police arrests you and you could face prison.

    Same scenario but selling alcohol is decriminalised: The police ignores the alcohol.

    Same scenario with being legal to sell alcohol: Police asks four your license, checks that the bottles came through the proper channels (no counterfeit and product of dudose procedence that can pose a health risk) and questions people about if you sell to minors.

    People are usually in favour of decriminalising prostitution rather than legalisation cause they want to be left alone. Legalisation would make it like any other job, requiring a permit, pay taxes and probably a license, however it would bring the same protections as any other business (for example, a sex workers could call the police without fear in case is assaulted by a client).
