let me janitor the id3 data or the metadata or whatever the gently caress instead of just having a good filename or idk some peice of software that analyzed the waveform or whatever and pulls it down that way if your particular brand of autism requires it. listen to the radio. gently caress off

I hate the specific people who made the Honda head unit software. that they are Japanese is not relevant to my hatred of them, but by their clear disregard for the English language they are very likely anti-American.

Last Chance posted:ive always wondered if the vast difference between the written languages is responsible for what we perceive to be poo poo UI when it might be fine in japanese That is a fair point and I've never even thought of that before. But I'm going to go with Japan (not people of the Japanese race, the culture of the country of Japan) likes lots of weird poo poo that is the complete opposite of what the entire rest of the world likes, and because they have such a unique culture that is known for not giving a gently caress about anyone else, they simply don't give a gently caress about anyone else as long as they can monetize and have bankrolls of ¥en.

Soricidus posted:well it might be if it was true books are right to left, but in columns not lines. it took a long time for computer peoples to figure out how to automate that kind of text layout reasonably. true right to left languages are also completely hosed by most software, as are languages with complex spacing and ligature rules, so Arabic is doubly hosed. I bet Linux doesn't even try, just renders it as boxes. (this is why Swift is right to not directly allow direct indexing into strings. that doesn't stop the "why can't I treat a string as an array of char?" questions of course.)

arabic looks fine on linux, in most typical scenarios. it doesn't fall down until you try to monospace it. arabic is not well-suited to monospace fonts. good-ish:  oh god my eyes:

I bet Linux doesn't even try, just renders it as boxes. but wait, there's more! picture if you will an arabic paragraph that contains an embedded latin string. the user clicks at the left-hand end of the latin string, and then presses a key. where are they expecting the letter to appear? it depends! maybe they thought they were clicking at the start of the latin string, or maybe they thought they were clicking at the start of the arabic string that follows it! and there's even more! suppose you have an arabic sentence with a number in it. the user places the cursor at one end of the sentence, and then holds down a cursor key to move it. where does it go when it hits the number? does it go through the digits in the visual order or in the logical reading order? the surprising thing is that linux actually handles all this pretty well. as well as anything does, honestly. it can move through the text in visual or logical order and it can display multiple cursors to indicate where the next character typed will appear depending on if it's a ltr or rtl character. it isn't even slavishly copying windows, windows is pretty bad at arabic. i don't know how macs handle it, maybe linux is copying that instead. eschaton posted:(this is why Swift is right to not directly allow direct indexing into strings. that doesn't stop the "why can't I treat a string as an array of char?" questions of course.)

Soricidus posted:arabic text handling is the worst clusterfuck ever because it's literally bidirectional: regular text runs right to left, but numbers within that text still run left to right! No, numbers in Arabic are right-to-left, but little-endian. It was always like this - this is why they are called Arabic numerals. If anything, it is the western languages that messed it up when these numerals were imported in the middles ages, since little-endian is supposedly easier to read. Blame 500 year old mathematicians for forgetting to convert from the network byte order.

If anything, it is the western languages that messed it up when these numerals were imported in the middles ages, since little-endian is supposedly easier to read. Blame 500 year old mathematicians for forgetting to convert from the network byte order. wrong. try it: switch to arabic input and type a number. observe how the first digit you typed goes on the left and the last digit on the right, because the number is being laid out left to right. this is not poo poo anyone would put up with if it wasn't how the language works. you may be being misled by the fact that for 2-digit numbers, the arabic way is to say like "nine and sixty" instead of "sixty-nine". but that only holds for 2-digit numbers, 420 is literally "four hundred and twenty", big-endian, just like in english.

Mr Dog posted:linux handles this using HarfBuzz and Pango, ya yeah, all bets are off as soon as you start mixing programs that run on different toolkits, it's the usual linux problem. of course it's not purely a linux problem. i'm on windows right now (sorry!) and it looks like in internet explorer, the cursor keys move through arabic text back to front (right arrow moves cursor left), but in firefox it's the other way round. it's a totally inconsistent user experience. i'm glad i'm not an arab because it must suck pretty bad having to deal with this stuff all day every day.

I knew I should be be able to play pandora and spotify over bt but it just would not work until I found some forum post somewhere that gave the recipe. it's just the basic sync, not the mytouch thingy but touchscreens in several tons of high speed metal is loving dumb anyway
