    In this case of my first comment yes, it’s just that i have way too few hours of sleep in me right now to come up with a more encompassing example.

    The only one that comes to mind right now is “they are too old”:

    Masculine form: lui è troppo vecchio.

    Femminine form: lei è troppo vecchia.

    In this case in italian the higher register/more polite way of saying it corresponds to the femminine form.(i know talking about age isn’t that polite, but just bear with me). in that case it is correct regardless of the gender of the one you are speaking to. If it is someone you don’t know it is also less strange to default to a higher register of speech. So it is more “hidden”

    Italian, but i feel like other neolatin languages should have something along those lines Ex. Lei è molto gentile.= You are very kind. It’s more complicated than in English, because in italian stuff like adjectives are also gendered.

    Tbh, when i don’t understand someone’s gender i just default to genderless pronouns, the fact is that in my main language genderless pronouns are used in formal settings, so it has the side effect of the fallback sounding more polite than usual.











  • Thanks. I know that my code is bad, but it shouldn’t be THAT bad. The reason why i am worried is because to use the program, the user needs to change a the UMA framebuffer size. And i am afraid of people changing for ex. The cpu voltage offset and nuking their device. All the program does in of itself should be fixable by just deleting the container. So i am not worried about it that mutch.
