Do you believe in God?
  • Neither.

  • What kind of Telemetry do you allow?
  • 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.

  • What kind of Telemetry do you allow?
  • I prefer to avoid any and all telemetry. I'll tolerate some mandatory telemetry as long as they're honest about it and it's not invasive, otherwise it's just spyware.

  • What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended?
  • 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.

  • online anti cheats are the worst thing
  • 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.

  • online anti cheats are the worst thing
  • 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 we aren’t aware of every process in our body means our brains aren’t fully connected with our bodies.
  • The fact that you don't know what Grimm's Law is means you don't actually know English.

  • Whats the least fun fact you know?
  • That our memories are all we really know and have. They're also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

    Be careful.

  • Un smartphone Android sans Google, c’est possible: qu’en pensent les utilisateurs?
  • SVP pas downvoter un message juste parce que ce n'est pas en anglais. Qu'on ne fasse pas un mal exemple.

  • What is the most valuable digital data you own?
  • Backups of my old computers.

  • What do you do to make the Internet a nicer place?
  • Force all social media to become non-profits.

  • How often do you get existential dread?
  • Depends on what "existential dread" means.

  • Think you're tough? Try being vulnerable.
  • Nice whataboutism.

  • The more you look, the weirder it gets
  • I stand corrected. Still gross asf though.

  • Till the Ubuntu nation attacked
  • Same. This place has serious "I use Ubuntu btw" vibes for me.

  • Till the Ubuntu nation attacked
  • Why is Archland (btw) so small? Where's Manjaroland, EndeavourOSville, etc?

  • GIMP (credit to mrAnmolv)
  • What specs do you have that makes GIMP load in 2 milliseconds?

  • The more you look, the weirder it gets
  • Ugh, Chr*me. 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.
