Sorry, could you explain what this means "this one actually renders a lot of web content decently."?

fersarr··on DeskHop – Fast Desktop Switching
Very cool! Take my money :) In my case I would like to share mouse, keyboard and monitor. So, just switching between two laptops.
fersarr··on Oculi Mundi collection of rare and ancient maps
I was trying to look at ancient ones but the "early maps" filter isn't working for me or there aren't any on this website. Does it work for you?
fersarr··on Building an app to learn languages with short stories
thank you! I had a look at readlang, very interesting. Definitely let's connect, I'll reach out.

Hey! thanks for having a look and for dropping some feedback :) Yea, "gnocchi" is questionable ha but some people do write gnocchi to respect their origin, for example in restaurants. But yeah, fair, probably better to use the real Spanish version.

>> "Hendrik nunca le gusta los gnocchis de nadie más" will add the "a" at the begginning! thanks for spotting that.

>> "Siempre dice que faltaba algo" This is a common way of saying things, at least in my region. That makes Spanish harder, there are so many "versions".

>> "he well-known LLMs are surprisingly bad in languages that are not English" So true.

Oh I see! sorry dang, athanks for removing it. Noted for the next.
fersarr··on Building an app to learn languages with short stories
thank you! I will have a look at LingQ, it does look interesting. Some other people also asked me to add the vocabulary list for Webbu too, so that should be coming soon :).
fersarr··on Building an app to learn languages with short stories
Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully at some point we can add more stories, quickly. I'm also looking into other methods of learning, we should have a few more soon.

Thank you! I just updated the typo, sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the eagle eyes.The DB issue was just wordpress not being able to handle the traffic. It's back now!
fersarr··on French regulators order Apple to halt sales of the iPhone 12
Yea this should have been acted on faster. I wish we had more of this data easily available for everything. Ear buds are directly next to our heads.
fersarr··on Fairphone 5
Yea... my last 3 phones died because of water.
fersarr··on Fairphone 5
Noob question perhaps: is there a way to maybe root the phone but have system profiles that are/look unrooted?
fersarr··on The Lost Script of Rapa Nui
thank you! just ordered it :) I would recommend "gods, graves and scholars" from my side. Any others?
fersarr··on Show HN: LearnLingo – Converse with an AI-powered language tutor
We'll add more languages soon :)
fersarr··on Show HN: LearnLingo – Converse with an AI-powered language tutor
The landing page looks slick! Congrats on the launch. Shameless plug: we also have a german tutor at Webbu: https://webbu.app/l/german/mentor
fersarr··on Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?
Looks nice. Is it foldable so that we can carry it on trips abroad?
fersarr··on Show HN: Virtual mentor for learning German (Bottom-right)
In case anyone's interested, I'm using OpenAI's 3.5 model for the Webbu language mentor and seeding it with instructions to answer as a language mentor and also to output whether it thinks the question is about German or not. This is so that I have an idea on whether the service is being abused or used in a weird way. Although I will probably not catch everything .
fersarr··on Ask HN: Is there a good camping chair that is comfortable for programming?
They look nice. One question though, they seem to be mostly tilted back, do you think this would be comfortable if I use it with a desk?
fersarr··on Ask HN: Is there a good camping chair that is comfortable for programming?
That would be nice. It would also probably work as a chair for small houses that you can stow away when you are not using it.
fersarr··on Passkeys: The beginning of the end of the password
Cool idea about the NFC ring. Is there anything like that now? Any application?
fersarr··on Show HN: Learn German with Short Stories
I have just improved the word translation so that it doesn't send you to Google as the first option. When you have a chance, let me know what you think :)
fersarr··on Show HN: Learn German with Short Stories
