An example of a post set in English but written in another language (French, in this case).

The result: you cannot understand this post (if you don't speak French) within Mastodon.

Replies also inherit the language setting, and therefore become impossible to understand without third-party tools (browser translation, copy/paste into online translators, etc.).

More examples in the screenshots (with explanations in the ALT).

It's important to know, also, that unlike the visibility of a post (Public, Unlisted, Followers-only, Private, etc.), you *can* edit the language setting of a post. So you don't have to worry about losing an ongoing conversation.

PS: Please note, this is not a criticism of the post linked, or the person making the post. I simply came across this and decided it might be easier to understand what I meant a while ago, by using it as an example, with regards to not properly setting the language of a post.

Screenshot taken from my instance, from Mastodon's interface on a PC/desktop browser.

Two replies within the linked post. One user replies to another, who replied to the main post. The main post is not in the screenshot, but it is written in French, but set to English.

The reply to the main post is automatically set to English. The content is in French.

The reply to that reply, below, shows a "Translate" button because it is set to French. (This reply, however, only has the thumbs-up emoji.)

Screenshot taken the main post's instance, from a Mastodon Glitch interface on a PC/desktop browser. This interface shows the language setting of replies. (I do not have an account there so I don't know if that instance provides translation.)

Two replies within the linked post. One user replies to another, who replied to the main post. The main post is not in the screenshot, but it is written in French, but set to English.

The reply to the main post is automatically set to English. The content is in French. On the top right corner of the reply, the language setting is shown as "EN".

The reply to that reply, below, shows that it is set to French by having "FR" on the top right corner.

"Disabled people are often the canary in the coal mine. Things that will ultimately impact everyone - hit us hardest and first."

I've been saying this exact same thing for years. Word for word. I'm really glad others are starting to get it.

Hey, peeps, a question.

My favorite mouse has a glitch in which middle-click (scroll wheel press) will get triggered twice, not always but frequent enough. It's annoying because I middle click constantly.

What I think would work is setting a delay in which the system ignores middle clicks after the first one within >=500ms ? But I'm not sure where to go, which files could hold this config.

For the keyboard a while ago I found out how to use a custom .XCompose, and was hoping this could be as easy as that.

I ran `xev -event button | grep button` and I can see that the wheel is button 2 and it's double clicking from time to time.

Edit: Well, I kind of solved it in a dirty (Windowsy) way. I booted up a VM with Win10 and the mouse's brand software, did a passthrough, and set up the button functions through there. It's apparently one of the few things that works within the mouse and not an OS, thankfully. So once I left the VM, the mouse is doing what it's supposed to.

In essence: through its software I disabled the scroll click and set the wheel tilt clicks to scroll click.

I really hope peripheral brands start making their stuff officially compatible with Linux now that it's gaining popularity in gaming. (Maybe peeps like @system76 could help convince them, yes?)

Both, especially together.

They look like they could have their own 90's Nickelodeon show, where the evil little bunny is always trying to kill people, but the good big scary monster stops it but is misunderstood by the people it saves.

I really wish people wouldn't self-censor words in their toots, as it breaks the filters.

For example: if I don't want to read about Musk and someone writes it as M*sk it breaks my filters and I end up seeing it.

I want to think they're doing it because they think it helps, but the beauty of Mastodon is that people tailor their own timelines.

The cookie popup thing is 100% done on purpose for that end.

Every time there's a measure capitalists don't like but it's intended to protect the consumer, they make it annoying and intrusive so we have that association and become less supportive of regulations.

That it's not about being a good person or not. There's plenty of examples where people did nothing wrong, but a privacy invading "feature" completely disrupted their lives.

Mine is a single tier system, but she has more continuity.

She lets everyone in the building know that someone has entered or left the building. Or some specific person is walking on our sidewalk... or the sidewalk across the street. (And it's not every person, she randomly selects them. I haven't found a pattern yet.)

Neighbors never say anything negative, but sometimes I'm a little embarrassed.

Also very important: set your post language properly. You (general/plural "you") can only have one main language and it is used automatically for every toot/post, but if you are bilingual (like me) you can make sure that every one of your toots/posts is properly set to the language you are using for that one toot/post.

This ensures that translation services work correctly (most big instances seem to have it enabled). And this is useful because we can speak to each other in any language, and it will be translated to the one we personally know.

I could write to someone in Spanish, get a reply in German. The other person can't speak Spanish and I can't speak German, but we would understand each other anyway.

It was great. I got a copy of FrontPage Express in one of those shareware CDs that came with tech/gaming magazines.

I used it to create a lot of fan sites. When I learned about frames, it was awesome.

I was never good at design, though. Shortly after, I learned to code in PHP and that was even better.

I admit, for a time, I fell for the idea of "dialoguing" and making concessions.

But it's like a saying we have here: "You give a hand and they take the whole arm off."

Never again. And if that makes me "radical" or "far left" or "annoying", so be it.
