One thing I can tell you with confidence about the Netherlands is that people there almost invariably overestimate their proficiency in English, so adverts and public announcements and the like in English often have embarrassing mistakes, so I’d put money down that they’re not going to hire a native speaker or perhaps even a chartered translator to check the translations.

If I took a shot every time someone said “language evolves” on Lemmy, I’d be fucking dead.

I thought Manchester United.

I don’t think you could get the speakers of all the European languages to agree on which one is normal.

I’d grin and bear it to be honest. Perhaps try and look at it like time you won’t be spending money on utilities to warm your house and stuff like that.

DAVx5 came bundled with e/OS when I changed over but I’ve had no luck getting it going and I struggle to follow the guide. Would you happen to know of like an idiot’s guide to getting started with it? Or could someone perhaps briefly summarise how to get going with it?

I don’t know much about coding, but I know Cuneiform isn’t an alphabet.

What’s HEMA if not the Dutch department store?

I thought it was in the morning.

Precisely! I see it as a stopgap.

That’s true, but the annoying thing about it is that while it’s an easy and obvious solution, dragging yourself out of the hole to get up and actually do it it much easier said than done.

That is daft, but it does tickle me when someone’s ringtone is set to that “warning! It’s the wife!” one.

Well, I don’t agree that making an offensive joke is necessarily being an arsehole, but I suppose you are right in principle.

Now he’s Sitting Straight, I suppose. Sorry, that’s in awful taste.

That’s a real twat of a hole.
