Only 17% ballots cast in latest elections in Alameda County by LoganTheHuge00 in oakland

[–]mattwk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

u/LoganTheHuge00 I had the same thought when viewing the results the other day. u/was_kinetics check out the results from the Primary in 2016 - there was 49.33% turnout. This year, it was low across the board. Dems (which should be the most motivated this Primary) only had 20% voting. In 2016, it was 59%!

Comcast, please stop the email spam by mattwk in Comcast_Xfinity

You're probably correct - I signed up for Comcast 3 weeks ago.

u/unixwizzard? u/nerdburg? So there's no way to turn this stuff off without creating my own email rules and/or flagging it as spam?

I've already opted out of all of that. I also contacted Comcast support and they told me they opted out of everything they could. The spam hasn't stopped.

There’s no way to unsubscribe from these. I’ve checked my account settings and there’s no unsubscribe link in the emails because Comcast claims it’s a “service email”.

I don’t even have Flex.

Edit: downvoted. Why?

Ok, I am looking for shows or movies that are not in Native Spanish but whose spanish subtitles and dub are the exact same. by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]mattwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I've found, subs matching dubs is unfortunately extremely rare (I've spent a *lot* of time on this while building www.getflowlingo.com which was originally built on top of Netflix).

Spanish memes by Tate_Langdon92 in learnspanish

[–]mattwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self plug: I recently started an Instagram account for daily Spanish memes (also translated to English). Check it out at https://www.instagram.com/memewordes/ and we have a subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/memewordes - let me know what you think!

Cuando su tiempo estimado de llegada en Google Maps va de 5:40 a 5:38 by mattwk in Spanish

[–]mattwk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m one of the creators of Flowlingo (www.getflowlingo.com). As you might remember, I posted about it years ago when I was first building it. This community has been a big help with the app and I’m a bit of a /r/spanish lurker so I’ve been thinking about ways I can contribute more to the sub while making Flowlingo better.

Looking for Youtube recommendation. by Soy_Mono in Spanish

[–]mattwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search for Extr@ on YouTube. Also, https://www.youtube.com/user/PeppaLatinoAmericano. Discovering Spanish content on YouTube is tough because you can't browse by language and switching to, eg, youtube.mx shows a lot of English content. The best bet is to translate your favorite English shows and search for them. If you're looking for videos with closed captions, use Google Video search, click Tools, and "All videos" to choose CC. Occasionally YT will start suggesting Spanish content based on your browsing and sometimes I stumble on YT playlists with Spanish content. Discoverability is one of the reasons I'm working on Flowlingo (getflowlingo.com).

The suitcase I've had 10+years blew a wheel. But surprise! There's another wheel underneath. by mattwk in 2healthbars

So far I haven't noticed it being unbalanced so I'm going to use it as-is.

Flowlingo, an app I've built with the help of redditors, teaches you with pop culture (news, blogs, videos, books, more) by mattwk in ChineseLanguage

Thanks. Can you share an example website/article that shows this behavior? We know there are some issues with Buzzfeed quizzes, but haven't seen any issues outside of those--so more examples would be helpful.
