minus-squareasudox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months ago Looks like we forgot to add this option in the frontend. I thought they failed to add the checkbox: We failed to add a checkbox for this parameter to lemmy-ui.
minus-squareSorteKanin@feddit.dklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·10 months ago… What’s the big difference? They failed to add it cause they forgot, no?
minus-squareNotJustForMe@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoProbably language barrier. That figure of speech is not the easiest for Germans to grasp. The first thing coming to mind is “we tried to add a checkbox, but failed, it just wouldn’t work” To my German mind, failing means “trying and not managing it, giving up in the end.” Failing to so somehing by forgetting doesn’t really make sense. :) How can you fail something you’ve never attempted. It’s just a figure of speech, I know.
