Bidet is puzzling enough. Then there’s modern portmanteaus like bussy (really, any word that has a more well-known P-word, like blot, will work) and NATO PA soundalikes like bike. And words with stress on other syllables that make the B less distinct, especially evil ones are before and benign for sounding like B4 and B9.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•different kinds of cheesecakesEnglish
2·1 day agoIt’s from a trashy Czech cooking TV show. None of the contestants knew what cheesecake meant, only the last one translated “cake” into Czech, said “Cheesic Cake” and felt smug about knowing a thing.

Technology@lemmy.world•Some Weird Things Are Happening And The Grid May Never Be The SameEnglish
3·2 days agoNice, especially with a solar panel at the top. But street lamps near roads are prone to accidents, and I’m sure a big block of Li-Ion in the base would make these way more risky.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is it that when the graphics driver freaks out in your browser when watching a video, the page always turns this specific shade of green?English
2·2 days agoSometimes when part of a keyframe is missing it’s filled with gray instead of repeating the previous image. That makes sense since it can get lighter or darker with delta, but IDK why out of bounds is green (and yes, the video decoding can overwrite some of the green if an object travels out of frame, for example).

3·2 days agoI know a video capture program that used a very dark purple for the card to fill in with HW-accelerated video. In Microsoft Office 2003, Clippy uses a pure magenta and other assistants pure cyan. This fails to turn transparent because of desktop compositing in the Aero theme of Windows Vista and 7. So I think it can be any color but software I know uses those unlikely to appear in real video, but in hardware decoders the background of the video decoding buffer is green.

9·2 days agoThis happens when I try HW decoding on VLC on an old AMD card, the video has extra letterbox bars of this color (can be cropped manually by pressing
C). At first I thought it’s some default in the ITU-R BT.709 (YCbCr) colorspace used in most video codecs but those RGB values map to an uneven55, 106, 100…
Damn, only now did I realize I’ve only read one book in a series
Is that stardust? And why is the top and bottom ⅙ half the resolution?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When I die maybe they will also stuff me and put me in a museumEnglish
4·4 days agoTechnical Museum Brno has some 2000s stuff on display… Portable CD player, compact digital camera and a desktop inkjet printer, the same model that’s been our family’s primary one until 2019 and we still use sometimes. Of course, it’s just a minor part at the end of the consumer electronics section.
They also have a mini DOS SBC you can use (there is a
C:\FEMBOYSandC:\UWUdirectory) and make extensive use of Raspberry Pis for web-based touchscreen infokiosks and emulation of Atari and C64 games.
Many streets are not like this, unfortunately. On some sidewalks it’s impossible to pass a person in the other direction just so that cars can drive and park all the way to Prague Castle. At one spot, the sidewalk is completely blocked by a vertical “citylight” billboard, thankfully there’s a dirt path around. And Magistrála (inner city highway) was the biggest planning failure, ruining valuable land around the main train station and dozens of streets. Also, there’s at least two road-legal, almost stock Cybertrucks for some reason. In short, Prague is one of the most car-brained cities despite the very dense tram network. This is unlikely to change in the next 4 years, since the Minister of Transport and Minister of Environment is a Motorist party member now (one person because the party couldn’t produce another that would pass a basic sanity check).

Are floating ice cubes interesting enough? Also, don’t they get brain freeze?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can you also do this with languages that use the Latin Alphabet?English
1·17 days agoI don’t think German Stichwörter (compound words) count because it’s just switching which is the adjective and noun part of the compound.

1·6 days agoAs for single-character swaps: Czech has interní (internal; mostly in professional settings) and niterní (core, inner; mostly psychological, spiritual), both of which are synonyms to vnitřní (internal; general use) in their own ways. It’s a coincidence, the etymologies are completely different.
