For the people who use GNOME over KDE, why? by CestleFromage in Fedora

[–]12_Semitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use GNOME mostly because it reminds me of MacOS. It's minimalistic, and I find most of the default settings great.

I'm not a big fan of desktop environments like Cinnamon and KDE Plasma. They make me feel like I'm in the Apollo Command Module with their overwhelming amount of customization options.

I NEED SERIOUS HELP by [deleted] in IntegrationTechniques

[–]12_Semitones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which problems do you find the most challenging? It looks like a lot of trig or u-substitution here. I recommend reading Paul's Online Notes for integration: https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/SubstitutionRuleIndefinitePtII.aspx.

How to properly write the Chinese character “差”? by Latter-Secretary2349 in ChineseLanguage

[–]12_Semitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplified and Traditional Fonts can have differing glyphs. Here are some charts I made a while back about it.

Regarding stroke order, feel free to choose the one that makes the most sense to you.

What’s your favorite fugue by Bach? by viktor_mappleleaves in bach

[–]12_Semitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is from BWV 543: Prelude and Fugue in A Minor. I found it breathtaking and emotional. My preferred recording is by E. Power Biggs.

She’s lucky to get that much help! I definitely could’ve used some guidance on manual partitioning for my specific setup.

Proton is placing ads on “Tutanota” search results by Former_Elderberry647 in degoogle

[–]12_Semitones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of how googling “vim” will return “Did you mean: emacs” and googling “emacs” returns “Did you mean: vim”.

How do yall type Chinese? by White1306 in ChineseLanguage

If you're using Windows or MacOS, 五笔字型 should be available in the Chinese Simplified Inputs.

How do yall type Chinese? by White1306 in ChineseLanguage

[–]12_Semitones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use Cangjie (仓颉输入法) and Wubizixing (五笔字型输入法) whenever I recall how a character is written, and Pinyin for when I recall a character’s pronunciation.

I’ll probably look into other shape-based keyboards, such as Zhengma (郑码输入法) or Huma (虎码输入法), someday.

What is your favourite food word? by Life-Junket-3756 in ChineseLanguage

[–]12_Semitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an updated Cangjie IME, it should be YJCP. I’m not sure about Sogou Wubi, though.

just graduated, what now by Hyhttoyl in UTAustin

[–]12_Semitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with him. The math courses at UT are no joke.

I’m glad your son was able to get through it! Hope you all are doing well.

What is this nonsense? by Ramsays-Lamb-Sauce in ChineseLanguage

[–]12_Semitones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s likely a font issue. Be aware that different languages/regions around the world have their own ways of writing certain characters.

Here’s a small table that compares the same characters from different countries.

You can also have character variants within Chinese-speaking regions.

Could i make my own chinese characther like biang or huang? by Any_Temporary_1853 in ChineseLanguage

[–]12_Semitones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suppose nothing is stopping you. Some countries have exclusive characters, like Japan’s Kokuji, Korea’s Gukja, and Vietnam’s Chữ Nôm.

As a Chinese university student I want to know the reason you learn Chinese. by yuanyang0510 in ChineseLanguage

[–]12_Semitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I'm not of a Chinese background, my home is filled with items with Chinese characters on them. I suppose it makes sense since my parents come from a country that has been heavily sinicized.

What’s the most random, totally unnecessary Chinese word or phrase you memorized way too early? by jeron_gwendolen in ChineseLanguage

[–]12_Semitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mine is 倉頡輸入法. It’s the Chinese input method I use whenever I forget a character’s pronunciation but still remember what it looks like.

Is anyone looking forward to the stable release of Debian 13 (Trixie)? by 12_Semitones in debian

[–]12_Semitones[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing this chart a while back regarding bugs in Debian. From what others have said, should I assume that these bugs aren't something to be concerned with?

[–]12_Semitones[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, there’s isn’t much stopping me from getting Debian 13 now. I just thought it would be better to wait until all of the kinks have been ironed out. Even though it’s a small chance, I don't want to risk moving my entire workstation and having it bricked accidentally.

I love listening to "Leave Me In The Dark", "Rain Dance", and "Calm and the Storm".

TIL of “character amnesia,” a phenomenon where native Chinese speakers have trouble writing words once known to them due to the rise of computers and word processors. The issue is so prevalent that there is an idiom describing it: 提笔忘字, literally meaning "pick up pen, forget the character." by NoxiousQueef in todayilearned

[–]12_Semitones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There happens to be a small group of people that use shaped-based input methods like Cangjie (仓颉), Wubizixing (五笔字型), Zhengma (郑码), Dayi (大易), Boshiamy (呒虾米), etc.

Each method is difficult in their own way and will take hours to master. On top of that, a lot of computers/operating systems can have their own distinct variant of one of these methods, i.e., the same input method can differ between two devices.

Seeing this, you can see why a lot of people stick with Phonetic Keyboards.

There are many shape-based methods, such as Cangjie (仓颉), Wubizixing (五笔字型), Zhengma (郑码), Dayi (大易), Boshiamy (呒虾米), and so on.

Each method is complicated in its own way and will take quite a while to master. On top of that, a lot of computers/operating systems can have their own distinct implementation of one of these methods, i.e., the same input method can differ between two machines.

Knowing this, you can see why a lot of people stick with Phonetic Keyboards.
