This is because you are not Italian. If in Italy you find a wall writing with Dux on it, there is 100% only one thing it can mean. To me this sounds as weird as someone naming their project Führer

Gestern ging ich mit einem Führer auf den Berg.

Der Führer war sehr nett und die Menge bedankte sich mit einer Geldspende.

No need to freak out.


Nice try, but not convincing... . If in Germany you find a wall writing with Führer on it, there is 100% only one thing it can mean.

This isn't graffiti on a wall though, its a Linux desktop environment. Surely you can understand the difference.

Italy really let fascists permanently own the Latin word for "leader"? That's pretty weak. Reminds me of the OK sign.

In any case, this isn't graffiti in Italy, it's a terminal emulator.


Every language in the world beyond German let fascists permanently own the German world for "leader".

This looks very interesting, but the Italian copy on the website is poorly translated. For instance, nobody would write an explanation of what you need to do speaking to the player in the courtesy third person (Perquisisca i luoghi, Smascheri la bugia). Other sentences are written poorly, for instance "Nel gioco, «Segnalare» sotto una battuta ce la invia direttamente.". I haven't played the game, but if the translations are not up to par, it might be worth to publish it in English only for now

Thank you so much for your feedback. To be honest, I am a solo founder and dont speak Italian natively. So I have to base on the translation by AI completely. Once I have more players and more financial backup, I'll have those texts verified by native speaker.

I think that passing the copy from your site to whatever recent model and asking if it sounds native would already catch a lot of issues

Just imagine that all the margins on your site are misaligned and text overflows the elements. Buttons still work, but it all looks ass.

That's the feeling bad translation gives.


The French one is not bad, except for some elemnts (namely the last sentence on the page which I did not understand). Funny coming from a French company, 10 km away from my place :)

It's not that the writing style is bad; in fact LLMs write actually pretty well. It's just too much overfitted. And even a style that, in itself, is pleasurable to read, becomes annoying when the same figures of speech are used over and over again.


For one thing you can use VC money to pay for ads


But for a paid social network you can do that too. All you need is for CLV to be higher than CAC.


If you want to launch a big viral marketing campaign, you also need someone who's willing to trade your predictions of future revenue for cash today, and VCs are by definition the people interested in making that trade. For something that depends on network effects, slowly trickling out one new ad every time you get 10 new signups isn't going to work.


In fact, this is an opportunity to anticipate what is going to be written. I studied maths, so I am not sure how it would work for other fields of study. But one thing that worked very well for me was to write everything, spoken or written, before it was said, or to try to stay 10 seconds ahead of the lecture. This would keep my attention and it would require an active comprehension, like continuously doing exercises. I was then able to recall what was said much better. And I could take advantage of the pauses to get a little ahead so I would not get lost in the next difficult passage. Of course, this only works in fields where there is a strong logical connection between the various parts of the lecture, so that you can indeed try to figure out yourself, it would not work where there is a lot of memorization


Yes, it must be more than 17k and less than 18k


Grothendieck did not have a comprehensive view of mathematics, nor he ever claimed to. There are vast swathes of mathematics (e.g. PDE or probability) that never fell under Grothendieck's radar


Computational mathematics may have adopted conventions from computer science, but I assure you that the alphabetical order convention is definitely the standard in most pure mathematics (with some exceptions, such as the Ascoli-Arzelà theorem)


I'd be curious to try it but I don't understand from the site whether it is mobile only. It claims that there is a utility to sync with desktop but then it doesn't run on desktop?


It's both desktop and mobile. If you're browsing on mobile it will show you screenshots of the mobile app.

The sync app is separate, free app just used for serving files to the mobile app for syncing though.
