  • After about a year of dabbling with selfhosting I have to disagree. Some do have decent UIs but UX for FOSS is often really bad, you can tell the person coding the apps is a really good programmer but has no concept of UX, I wish I could help them somehow but any suggestion is often met with “uh? Why explain that in the UI? It’s already in the documentation!” or similar

    I lived in the US for couple of years and I would curse every time I forgot order small not medium. They are saying its all ice but here in Brazil there is quite a bit of ice too. When I ordered medium in the US I had to carry it with me for a couple hours while sipping on it cause I couldn’t finish it in one sitting.

    Bonus: their clothes are also bigger. I’m an L in Brazil but in the US I had to buy M.









  • Oh yeah, I suffered with poetry in school too. Tho my story is quite different, what happened is that I was quite active in the fantasy community in the old site and one day some author was giving away her book to a few people in exchange for reviews on amazon (ebook). It was quite frankly terrible but I got it for free so I felt like I owed it to her to read it all. When I reached the end I didn’t even review it because I could not bring myself to rate it higher than 2 stars.







  • Oh, you would suffer here in Brazil too, we have no concept of middle names, every name is either a given name or family name.

    I was surprised too! Keeping only 2 of my 5 names and saying that is ok felt weird but was quite convenient haha and felt a bit xenophobic too ngl, western names seemed to have no value to them when compared to japanese ones!


  • Funnily enough, this is an issue for me everywhere BUT Japan. I have 5 names, 2 first names and 3 family names, so I run out of space with most forms. But the thing is that I’m half Japanese and when I was in Japan they would just let me ignore my other names and write only my Japanese ones, one of my first names is Japanese and one of my family names too. For example: when my name didn’t fit in my flight ticket, they just told me to write only my Japanese name and throw away the rest lol
