I haven't ever touched a steam deck either, but I would assume that games on the steam deck just work without any tinkering with the shell.

Offtopic, but do you think it's better to use HTTPS for non-public web services that must be accessed through ssh?

因噎廢食 (īnyēfèishí)

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%9B%A0%E5%99%8E%E5%BB%A2%E9%A3%9F

This is a Chinese proverb meaning "to avoid something essential because of a slight risk of making a mistake." Literally it means "to not eat due to the risk of choking on food."

I only speak a very tiny bit of German so apologies if I get this wrong, but this reads like English forced into German.

No. That is time for German learning. Then you can shitpost in two languages make.

Oh wow I just realized that there's the weird make in the end so maybe it was proper German after all?

I just looked it up, and apparently "impregnate" isn't in the list either. Yes, the word isn't offensive by itself, but I think they remove quite a lot of words that might cause problems in the what3words address. There is way more than enough words anyway.

This is from their FAQ:

How do you handle offensive words?

A what3words address is made up of 3 random words, and they are not intended to convey any meaning to a location. However, we know that the nature of using words means that unexpected interpretations can crop up.

For each new what3words language, our team consults a broad range of native speakers. We then work together to remove rude and offensive words from our word lists, navigating cultural sensitivities wherever we can.

Some users feel that certain words in our lists are unsuitable or inappropriate, so we always take feedback onboard. However, one of our key features – that our addresses are permanently fixed – means that it is not possible to update the word list. Instead, we can look for opportunities to adapt our approach when developing future languages.

Tip: if you’d rather avoid a certain what3words address because of a particular word or combination of words, we’d suggest you use the next square along.

unfortunately the people at What3Words excluded words people might find offensive from the word list, so that place does not exist

Cool guide. Btw, they call road signs "traffic signals" there in Europe?

Remove text on TPE phone case? (lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hi. When I got a new phone a couple weeks ago, it came with this really nice, name-brand (not giving names here) phone case. It's really rugged and feels great on the hands. It's also one of the most premium phone-case options out there.

Unfortunately, the case is plastered with the text: Pixel. The only phone engineered by Google. I really don't enjoy being a walking advertisement for Google, but leaving such a great case lying around is quite a pity.

So I wanted to ask if there's a way to remove the text that would not damage the case itself?

The case is made of TPE plastic according to its packaging. I thought about just scratching it off cause it does seem to be some kind of layer on top of the case, but I'm worried it won't be removed cleanly and might even leave behind scratches.

Is there another way? Is there some kind of solvent able to do this job?

Here's a closeup if that helps.

Thanks!

Edit: I have decided to uncensor the words.
