  • Neither.

  • I'm hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today's technology. I'll only allow it if it's reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it's consentual.

  • I plan on eventually boycotting English as much as I can. Both because of what global English represents, and to counteract the massive international pressure to do everything in English and its consequences.

  • In my experience, most Windows-exclusive games work just fine under Wine. It's not that big a deal.

    This thread isn't even about Windows games per se, but about a few games whose anti-cheats are screwing over Linux users.

  • Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Are there really that many people in here of all places who think gaming is just triple-A games from companies that don't respect their players and nothing else?

    Edit: wording

  • The fact that you don't know what Grimm's Law is means you don't actually know English.

  • That our memories are all we really know and have. They're also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

    Be careful.

  • SVP pas downvoter un message juste parce que ce n'est pas en anglais. Qu'on ne fasse pas un mal exemple.

  • Backups of my old computers.

  • Force all social media to become non-profits.

  • Depends on what "existential dread" means.

    Think you're tough? Try being vulnerable.

  • I stand corrected. Still gross asf though.

  • Same. This place has serious "I use Ubuntu btw" vibes for me.

  • Why is Archland (btw) so small? Where's Manjaroland, EndeavourOSville, etc?

  • What specs do you have that makes GIMP load in 2 milliseconds?

  • Ugh, Chrme. Disgusting.

    Distinguishing dentals and palatals in the Latin alphabet

    I'm indecisive about how to best distinguish dental and palatal phones in my WIP Indo-European cloŋ in the script of the Romans. The full consonant inventory and their current orthographic values are in the image above.

    Some options I'm considering:

    • t̪ c d̪ ɟ θ ç n̪ ɲ - The phonemes in question.
    • t tc d dg s sj n gn - Their current assignments.
    • t tj d dj s sj n nj - All Js. Looks nice and intuitive, but a bit monotonous.
    • t ć d ǵ s ś n ń - The choice of diacritics is another matter. Looks clean, but they might fall victim to English speakers treating them as meaningless decorations.
    • p t b d f s m n - Quasi-etymological. Looks okay, and makes it easier to spot cognates, but misleading and unintuitive.

    Edit: I have no idea how to get tables working in Lemmy, so for now I've replaced the table with a screenshot from the Reddit thread.
