@ossington ported the `ambiguously proper #name' problem from #German to #English: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/5561
-
@erkanyilmaz, yes—exactly that sort of situation.
-
you mean like: "Kohl mag ich nicht" (I don't like... where Kohl can mean cabbage or Hemut Kohl) ? cc @question
-
How does one know whether #words are proper #names in #German?
-
I think I'd probably regard deletion-requests in #OStatus exactly the same way as I regard them in #email....
-
I at least would like to think that I'm pretty agreeable, and at least more approachable than a big faceless corporation like twitter.com.
-
I guess I could imagine your twitter.com account disobeying you at some point, though--being less agreeable than friends you federate with.
-
On the other hand, if *you* (not just your server) asked me to take down my copy of something you'd said, I may well oblige.
-
Probably easier to convince your twitter.com account to delete something you posted; if your server asked me, I'd probably refuse. !vivalafederation
-
You give me a copy of your notice w/ #OStatus #federation. #Bridging to twitter.com, you give *your twitter.com account* a copy. ☺
-
Bridging is just re-posting notices on another site *using an account you own there*. Like #GNUSocial's "mirroring", which would also let you delete the re-posts from the re-posting account. Not #federation.
-
(/me goes back to check other instances for my deleted messages) Hmm… You're right… Since deletions *do* work across the #Twitterbridge I figured they would work across federated instances too. !TIL
-
What happens when someone who uses only #webmail clicks on a "mailto" link on a website?
-
And, if it's not straightforward to fix an #l10n bug by just patching a new langauge in, then *that* (broken #i18n) is a bigger #bug.
-
@kuro, the point was that we should be baking #i18n in wherever we can—that users having to fumble through a website because they have difficulty understanding English is a #bug that affects many users.

#q "30% of the code in our new release was written by kids" #lp2014
-
#q Walter Bender "I have 2 modest goals for kids: I want them to learn to write, and I want them to learn to write code. And the first thing we do is take away their keyboards?"
-
At Walter Bender's talk in room 141 at #lp2014.
-
#q "like 30% of the Internet speaks English as their native language. We shouldn't just exclude the other 70%." #lp2014.

The man in the parking garage asks, "how may I help you?"; I say, "I'm looking for a place to park...."
