During covid we were much more mindful of these things 😅

Based on your tweets today, it really looks like you've been living your very best life today! 😃 Well done!

I'll wait for the proper release! But I like what I'm seeing!

It works really well! Super fast, and the experience from Vim also seems to be really good. Nice work!

I found a nitpicky small issue that I'll report on GitHub, but it's definitely not a showstopper.

Now I have to decide whether I'll update my blogpost, or just write a new one 😄

Sounds very similar to my recent problem with YouTube... I hope the setting that solved my problem, solved yours too...

My "smart" tv is translating YouTube video titles to Dutch and I hate it.

The phrasing feels awkward. More importantly, it suggests the videos are in Dutch, which they're not.

Happy birthday @tomcools.be! 🎉🥳

Also, these things are real issues, not GitHub Copilot hallucinations.

Would it work the other way round, too? Weil mein Deutsch leider sehr schlecht ist... 😬

I did find a fix!

It turns out the YouTube app on my tv was set to Dutch, and I could change it in the settings.

I set it to English which fixes my problem! (And probably introduces the new problem of translating all Dutch videos into English...but we'll cross that bridge when we get there)

Thanks @bjeaurn.com !
Youtube setting! I assume it carries over to TV and other devices.

I think it’s achieved by setting your Youtube’s language to British English.

Yes, I can see the accessibility benefit. It could have been a good feature. But implemented like this it sucks, because I don't want it and didn't know how to turn it off, and somebody who needs it might not even know the feature exists in the first place

Dubbed or subtitled? Please say subtitled...

Dear lord

Oh that's good to know!
Would that be a YouTube setting or a tv setting though? Or a YouTube-on-tv setting?

What's next? Translated song titles?

Would you like to watch "Wou dat je hier was" by Roze Floyd?

Next up: "Ik loop de lijn" by Jantje Contantje

Please no

In C#, == delegates to .Equals() which you can still override in records. Same as with Java records btw.

EqualsVerifier has become less needed since the introduction of records in Java, but people still find it useful.

When I worked in C# my coworkers even asked if I could do a port.
