Finnish doesn't have umlauts. Characters ä and ö are entirely different and separate from a and o so it doesn't make sense to add the letter e signifying a-umlaut or o-umlaut when writing in Finnish. German has umlauts so it makes sense to write either ä or ae when writing in German.

I agree it's best to write Maatta if letter ä is not available. I suppose the vocal harmony makes it easy to distinguish whether a is supposed to be a or ä and if o is supposed to be o or ö.

Why would you pay for a car to not drive it but instead collect the refunds? It would be cheaper to not have a car. I think it would incentivize driving more as the premiums are low and when that causes premiums to rise higher it would disincentivize owning a car.

No trench too great.
No ditch to dig.
No shovel to break.

If you can piss six feet in the air straight up and not get wet, you get no down payment

I still have rif on my phone for it's sentimental value. Two years ago it took a while to get used to opening Connect for Lemmy instead of rif.

Goodness gracious. I hope you eventually got rid of the popup.

I sometimes wonder why some programmers don't use vim. Aren't they lazy enough to be bothered about unnecessary work and "friction" you have to deal with when using ordinary editors. I'd rather do the interesting parts of the job and command the computer to do the rest. Of course the communication with the computer has to be as concise, as effortless, and as easy as possible.

There are a host of other deliberate annoyances Amazon has created to make sure the tablet is used for their purpose rather than your own.

Do you have some examples? Sounds both horrible and interesting.

 

Although Linux is just used to run superior OS in VM. Same as using Internet Explorer to download Firefox.

 

There seems to be many lemmy apps available. I already tried few apps though I don't even know where to find most of the others. Instead of trying every single one of them I'd like to know if there's anything similar to RIF. Here's some key features of RIF:

  • Simple. Mostly text and no complicated UI elements.
  • Information density. I can see a list of eight posts on my screen. Again, it's just text with no UI decorations.
  • One handed browsing. As I hold my phone with right hand I can easily access both linked url and comments of a post with my right thumb (buttons on right side of the screen).
  • Comment navigation. This is not as important but in larger threads it's useful to navigate between parent comments.

If there's nothing similar available, maybe these could be added to an existing implementation. I could even try to help as I am programmer, though I don't know much about mobile app development.
