@grainloom My sister argued with my mom about how her middle name is spelled for *years* before my mom finally got her birth certificate and showed her, and now she still complains about it.

@TheHottestPotato @grainloom wait wait doesn't Python actually have a conditional expression? 'won' if won else 'lost'? Or is there some other ternary operator and I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do?

@grainloom I 100% thought that was the intended joke

@leip4Ier @grainloom I would like that too so I actually submitted a feature request to the Tusky app for a way to do that a few days ago, but so far I haven't gotten a response

@codesections @solder_on I believe it's the GNU Image Manipulation Program, more commonly known under a different acronym, and recently forked under the name "Glimpse"

Look at how adorable this kitten is. Also extremely annoying when she decides to climb the windowscreen and walk on my keyboard. But mostly adorable. Her name is Scout and I'm watching her for my sister. #caturday #mastocats

@Jas I think it's a fairly common anxiety trigger, but I mainly do it as a 'when in Rome' thing because none of my followers have specifically asked me to do it so I dunno really.

Me: I'd like to get to know people on here more and make some friendsAlso me: *almost never posts anything or replies to anyone because social anxiety makes me have to spend 20 minutes on drafting any toot that's at all conversational to make sure the tone is right and that I'm not reply guying and etc*

@PastaThief I don't know, using an extra tool seems like it'd add friction, especially since I mostly use mastodon on my phone, but I'll take a look. Thanks

@schratze @thor There are a lot more than 12 T/A combinations in English (although the majority of the technically possible combinations are only useful when talking about time travel). Because in English it's not just on or off, every aspect marker is an auxiliary verb can have further T/A applied onto it, so you can say that you "will have been having gone daily for two months tomorrow" and "will have been having" is something like "past progressive of future perfect".

@schratze @thor and then there's the further problem that "will" is not actually a future tense marker, but a *mood* marker for future intentionality (notice that "I turn 25 tomorrow" is semantically in the future, but there's no "will", and you can also say "I am going to turn 25 tomorrow", which is semantically similar but grammatically quite different.)

@schratze @thor plus also the detail that perfect != perfective and in fact English simply does not have any way to express a general perfective, though the simple past can be used that way. ("I went to the store", 'went' is viewed as a single indivisible action, which is perfective, whereas "I go to the store" is actually habitual instead, because aspects mean different things in past and nonpast.)English's TAM is fiendishly complicated.

@calculsoberic honestly most of the time I'm searching for a page I've already been to, so I use Firefox's built-in history and open tab searching way more often than I actually use any search engine. But when I do need to use one I use DDG because of bang searches.

@BenAveling @DreadShips @RobertJackson58585858 fun fact: the british actually tried this, except on a train, called the APT. Even after correcting for the tiny time lag, it still made everyone nauseous because it was *too* stable around corners at high speeds despite being able to see out the windows that tilt was happening. They had to dampen it so much in testing that it turned out that, at the speeds they were going, just standard tilting of the track itself (called superelevation) was sufficient, and then just went back to conventional train cars. There was a WTYP podcast episode about this a while back, I recommend it if you don't mind a bit of crude humor.

@BenAveling @DreadShips @RobertJackson58585858 Other, faster high-speed trains do continue to use (improved) tilting systems though, because there is a practical limit to superelevation that the APT was already close to. Just not in the UK.
