Hell yeah. I don’t play Minecraft anymore but I just set it on my character anyways :)

Pretty much only games that were made pre-permission restrictions on Program Files because they try to write to the install folder. I think that was added around XP/Vista. Anything remotely recent shouldn't have this problem (especially if it's the default install directory).

(The error code 0xc0000096 (Privileged instruction) also doesn't indicate this at all but hey, there's been weirder cases of errors caused by completely unrelated seeming conditions.)

Came out to long time friend couple days ago. Turns out he’s queer too which I absolutely didn’t expect.

I don’t want to say I have found a new name yet but I have pretty much found one.

2 months on HRT and my hair has just visibly started regrowing. Crazy honestly. Still needs a while before it stops being sucky though.

Getting better at trans voice, I can get something down pretty consistently now even though the way it sounds is still questionable (though that might be because it’s really hard to tell with my own voice, getting feedback from someone in a bit).

So yeah pretty great I’d say. At least in terms of transitioning.

Posts incel tier meme and gets instantly defensive when called out in the comments. Classic

It's normal macOS behavior, programs usually ignore the first click that activates a window for UI actions unless it's something easily undoable (such as opening a dropdown menu). This means you don't first have to look for a free spot on the window if you want to focus it. (That's my interpretation of the reason behind it at least.)

I don't know if you can disable it. You can use the media control keys though, or ⌘` and then click which might be more comfortable than clicking twice.

Absolutely, I hate this shit. It feels incredibly fake and overbearing if it’s an automatic/“broadcast” message.

Sometimes it’s designed so that it’s actively dangerous too. I said “Siri, kill me” to my phone and it started calling emergency services. Are they trying to get people fined for abuse?

It really doesn't hurt to know a bit of the IPA, at least the characters for your own language… I see so many horrible phonetic "transcription" "systems" people use when describing how to pronounce a word, it's crazy

Since you mentioned Chinese, there's also an interesting thing in languages that have Chinese characters as their writing system origin and use names based on it (Chinese languages of course, Japanese, Korean and I think also Vietnamese) where names of historical or important people are translated via their written form and not their pronunciation. For example, the Japanese prime minister Ishiba Shigeru 石破茂 is called 石破茂 (shí pò mào) in Mandarin, written with the same characters. (Been a while since I read about this so I forgot the examples where the name is pronounced significantly different and in all of these languages but this is a good enough example)

Highly recommend this game!

I periodically sort them into different albums. Usually from my Mac where I have an "Uncategorized" smart album which shows everything that's not already in an album (plus a couple other criteria).
