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.

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

Be careful.

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

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.

Tell me you're new to Linux without telling me you're new to Linux.

Is it just me, or are the more active posters here actually Windows refugees who haven't used Linux for too long?

A world where all humans are autistic.

It wouldn't solve everything, but at least there wouldn't be room for chronic reification, useless charismatic narcissists, Cartesian dualism, etc to become big issues like they are in our world.

I think the only reason Windows users are afraid of terminals is that they're not used to them. They're not that bad. Most terminal programs have a -(-)help command that shows you what you can do as well, in case you get stuck.

I don't get why more people don't just use ad blockers. The Reddit staff wouldn't even know what's happening until it's too late.

Stuff that's helped me so far:

  • sudo paccache -r
  • ncdu ( you may have to install it first )
  • pacman -Qqdt
  • Konmari'ing my computer occasionally.
