But 'trans-' (and 'cis-'!) is also a prefix. cf. "transnational", "transalpine", "transcranial", "transcode", etc. To be clear, I'm not saying we shouldn't insist on the space, but implying that it would otherwise be malformed or ungrammatical is a bad argument.

    put a specialized micro replicator that just makes bullets in place of the magazine and you essentially have an infinite ammo cheat.

    I may be a little fuzzy on the official version of how replicators work. Do they not need feedstock?

    I've always kind of assumed that they were basically transporters, pulling raw materials out of storage to be materialized as the requested thing. And the similarity in the special effects for the two seems to support that.

    Either way, I can't help but think that an emplaced continuous-fire beam weapon would be more energy efficient and less prone to failure than a replicator-fed slugthrower.

    I just looked into it and it seems Kirby uses the first-person pronoun ๅƒ• (boku), and is referred to in the third person as ๅฝผ (kare) both of which have masculine connotations. It's true that neither is exclusively masculine, but the Japanese language in general is a lot less concerned with gender than European languages.

    That said, official art has depicted Kirby participating in traditionally gendered activities for both men and women, so there is definitely at least some intentional ambiguity.

    I'm trying to write a package for the Zen Maru Gothic font, which is available on Google's font repository on github. (https://github.com/google/fonts) It's a huge repo with thousands of fonts, so I'm trying to use sparseCheckout to grab only the part I need:

    src = pkgs.fetchgit {
       url = "https://github.com/google/fonts.git";
       rev = "v0.4.9";
       sha256 = #snip long hash;
       sparseCheckout = [ "ofl/zenmarugothic" ];
    };
    

    I was originally using fetchFromGitHub pointed at the same repo. In both cases, what's actually being fetched into the store seems to be the root directory of the Google Fonts Axis Registry repository (https://github.com/googlefonts/axisregistry) which has a different url, name, and owner.

    I feel like I'm going crazy.

     

    Example of behavior: https://discuss.online/post/35408836

    In a browser, the post body contains two spoiler tags, the first is some text, and the second is an additional image. In the app, the image gets combined into the gallery, but the text is nowhere to be found.

    Also the "Combine markdown images to gallery" setting doesn't appear to do anything; even with it turned off, the image gets combined into a gallery and the text is still missing.

    Describe the issue: The post in question:

    https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/53330380

    That's the url as connect copied it from my feed view in Connect, but I imagine my experience actually involved the federated copy on Beehaw. [Edit: the tchncs.de link crashes also.] A couple of attempts looked like the app was trying to throw up an error message of some sort, but it crashed back to the launcher so quickly I couldn't read it.
