duckduckfedi what is the best hardcopy german-english dictionary, langenscheidt or oxford or something else?

taking into account readability of font and coverage of the compound words.

i would like a fullsize one not the small pocket one with 35-40,000 words as it will just stay at my place not get carried around.

i think that goes in the 'too hard' basket for most ppl. better to switch to something that does not use llm, netbsd, haiku, openbsd

@drew@social.freebitcoin.gay brian anderson has some streams on the tigerbeetle youtube channel (originally streamed on twitch) doing this with no lsp. but he may be an outlier since he's one the rust founders!

@0x6e6174@catgirl.cloud many older laptops did have air intake on the bottom. i would never buy a hp again for this reason. ps i always tell ppl don't put your laptop on bed or couch, get a thin chopping board and sit laptop on that rather than have laptop inhale fabric fibres.

even microbee basic that i used in high school in the 1980s had a random function. so more sophisticated than rust lol. imagine saying 'our lang has reached 1.0 but has no random simply use a crate'. sorry rustacians but that is a joke. please tell me i'm wrong.

this can't be right? rust random number generator only in experimental/nightly or crates? wat.

pale moon is fash-associated. i think there is no hope for any firefox fork. you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. servo holds more hope.

@askiiart@ck.catwithaclari.net chelsea manning used to go into the army building with a cd-rom labelled 'lada gaga' and sing along to the cd all day playing in their portable cd player wearing headphones. except the cd-rom was not in the portable cd player, it was in the computer getting classified documents copied onto it.
