Why would the color of this bot matter?

It'll never cease to amaze me how many people struggle with this very specific spelling error!

PSA: The difference between “ROGUE” and “ROUGE”

 

rogue /rōg/

noun -An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal. -One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp. A rogue is a playable class in Dungeons and Dragons.

———————-

rouge /roo͞zh/

noun -A red or pink cosmetic for coloring the cheeks or lips. -A reddish powder, chiefly ferric oxide, used to polish metals or glass. -Rouge is not a playable class in Dungeons and Dragons. It is either reddish tinted make-up or reddish tinted polish.

Thank you, I thought it was spelled the same.

You're welcome, and my new favorite random internet stranger. Not only did you take my pedantic correction without throwing a tantrum, you even corrected the post title! King.

I sometimes say rouge purposely to troll people like you in world of warcraft.

Also, that spelling error pains me just as much, which is probably why it's funny every time

LOL, I like the cut of your jib!

Every voice matters: about time the pedophile war criminal voting bloc got represented.

Post needs accessibility.Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

  • usability
    • we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
    • text search is unavailable
    • the system can't
      • reflow text to varied screen sizes
      • vary presentation (size, contrast)
      • vary modality (audio, braille)
  • accessibility
    • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
    • some users can't read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
    • users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
    • systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
  • web connectivity
    • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
    • we can't explore wider context of the original message
  • authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
  • searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
  • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
    • image breaks
    • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

I'm on my smart phone, I can't type as well on the virtual keyboard.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 2 months ago

Nothing a link to source in the post's URL field can't handle: smart phones aren't that incapable.

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Stealing this for piefed posts!

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not sure I should be giving this person the benefit of the doubt, but anyhow: Best way I can interpret this is as some form of sunk cost fallacy: they keep supporting Trump/MAGA no matter how ludicrous it gets.

I suspect there's quite a few people like that these days.

Of course some of them are merely full mask off - i.e. they actually like the hate, and the suffering this admin causes.

They're just fascists. My guy is right by virtue of being my guy. No need to over think it, they're just assholes.

Sounds like a normal American to me, or there would be open revolts at this point. Weakest, most souless people on the planet right now. Fuck you guys.

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I wonder if leaders like Carney bowing to Trump voluntarily is a better or worse than the average American. They have whole armies and do jack all.
