  • Hard disagree. The title isn’t shitty. The worst harm that could’ve come to you is that you spend 30 seconds watching a video that you realise isn’t for you. This horrible fate is a risk you run when browsing the interwebs.

    Yes it might be annoying expecting a concise lecture about domains, but you only need to spend 30 seconds to realise it and you can avoid map men forever if you wish.

    Your expectation seems to be that video titles should be there to provide all context before watching, and while that may be true and desirable for fully educational channels, this isn’t one of them. You’ve got the wrong expectations coming into it.

    What do you think is a better title? “This is a humorous video about country codes on the internet. Please watch only if you are willing to be amused and not thoroughly educated.”

    Translation of developer utilities themselves is the final layer of hell. I’m not hearing anybody out about this kinda stuff - after microsoft decided to TRANSLATE THE EXCEPTION MESSAGES IN .NET WITH NO WAY TO BYPASS IT making them unclear, unusable and ungoogleable, I realized what a terrible idea it is to fragment developer knowledge by language.

    Let’s just stick to a lingua franca, please.








  • I didn’t downvote you

    The way I parsed your earlier comment was that the solution to making a resolution like 4k usable on a laptop was just to lower your resolution. My point is that if instead of lowering your resolution, meaning you’re not utilizing the full potential of your screen, you can instead use UI scaling to make the resolution usable while still benefiting from the higher resolution in terms of sharpness in text, games etc.
