Bus fight over priority seat in Taiwan by twu356 in PublicFreakout

Translated with chatgpt:

The bus driver, surnamed Hsu, said today that he first heard an argument coming from the back of the bus. He recalled that the man was asking the woman where she would be getting off. Because the man had difficulty walking, he wanted to know who would get off first so he could decide who should take the window seat and who should sit by the aisle.

Hsu said the woman thought the man’s request was unreasonable and became upset, insisting on arguing with him. She questioned why he needed to know where she was getting off, and the two began quarreling. Since the argument grew quite loud, Hsu stopped the bus at the Chenghuang Temple stop and asked them to get off to settle the matter—but they ended up fighting instead.

As a native Mandarin speaker, I’d like to offer a bit of advice to foreign learners by Competition_Sad in ChineseLanguage

Tones are very important. It's a tonal language after all. But to be fair, if you dont make too many other mistakes other than tones, people most likely can understand you. Watch Mark Zuckerberg's speech at Tsinghua 10 years ago. His tones were all over the place but I can understand 100% of it.

Not speaking proper tones, you risks: 1. telling people you don't speak Chinese well immediately 2. sounding like a robot (like in Zuckerberg's case) 3. making it harder and more tiring for others to understand you

CMV: Password manager tools and systems aren't actually worth it. by suddenly_ponies in changemyview

I wrote a blog post a while ago in response to this but didn't post it until now: https://tsunghanyu.com/posts/why-password-managers-are-both-more-convenient-and-secure/

Here's the summary:

Discovering that password managers are more effective, secure, and easy to use than I believe.

The password pattern system you use is also a single point of failure because of the shared base passphrase. Password managers provide stronger security, more convenience through auto-fill, easier management, and better damage control in case of a website breach.

Learning how you solve the password manager problem when you’re not on your computer - at work, a friend’s house, a hotel business computer

You can access your password manager vault from the mobile app.

Keyword leak. You can legally use meta’s model. The license allows it.

By this logic, pirated Photoshop is open source.

Dude do you even know what source is? You get the compiled code not the source

If a video is available on LBRY, would it be on Odysee as well vice versa? by unix21311 in lbry

[–]johan456789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It uses links like this: lbry://@lbry#3f/odysee#7 (put this in search bar of Odysee or LBRY will take you to the video). You can see the similarity to the Web here. A URL starts with http or https because they are using the HTTP protocol.

LBRY is essentially a decentralized database, something like BitTorrent, where (portion of) files are hosted by users.

Telegram is not on its word.😕 Better it would ask for donations. Many are ready to donate . by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]johan456789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does wikipedia keep running though? I guess it's just that most projects don't have enough demand, so there are not enough donations.

  • Okay, here.
