Esperanto is not a particularly easily learnable language to most of the world. It’s a very parochial language made by someone whose exposure to language was all European and very strongly focused on specifically East European languages both phonetically and grammatically. English, to take a horrifically terrible language at random, is not much harder to learn for, say, a Chinese speaker than Esperanto would be, but it would be a million times more useful given the rather pathetically small number of Esperanto speakers out there.
If you’re going to use a constructed IAL (as opposed to de facto lingua francas like have been historically the case), make one that isn’t filled with idiotic things like declension by case, by gender, by number, by tense, by … Or you’re going to have most people in the world ignoring it. Like you already have for Esperanto.
Ĉu vi scias Esperanton? Esperanto ne estas perfekta, sed la Angla estas pli granda malordo. Mi vere dubas ke la Angla estus tiel facila kiel Esperanto.
Esperanto is ignored for political reasons, not because its bad.
After digging around a bit, these sites offer free .flac (lossless) music, the first link even offers free movies, books, software & images too:
archive.orgJust search for FLAC, click the audio file you want to save. Find ‘Download options’ & download the music file.
www.2l.noThis is one of the best free lossless music download sites. It provides free hi-res music files that are available in DXD, DSD64, DSD128, DSD 256, MQA, ETC. Visit the 2L website and click HiRes Test Bench. Then you can download hi-res music for free without registration required.
I don’t think so. Some people would surely grumbled, after all reading newspaper to breakfast or sitting in comfy chair is something many people still do, but digital media made rapid advancement in last decade.
Though things outside strictly “news” papers, like illustrated magazines will probably exist regardless, even if in diminished form. Anyways as far as i know they are still very popular, there is very many of them.
On my NixOS, nix sets the environment variables XDG_DATA_DIRS, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, etc. Maybe these contain what you‘re looking for? Do you have a path ~/.nix-profile/share/applications?
I have this line export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.nix-profile/share:$HOME/.share:“${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}” Do I need to add anything else? I do have the directory you have mentioned.
Which one in specific? There are some packages which maintainers did not bother creating xdg desktop specification… you can look into nixpkgs source code to see if they are specified there or not.
I do not know if Debian is able to pick the desktop files though
Adding those lines to .bashrc, helped with the flatpak commands. I can run them without having to type “flatpak run”. I did this for nix: export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.nix-profile/share:$HOME/.share:“${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}” However, I still cannot see the entries in rofi. The package is Chromium browser.
I mostly installed the lists found on firebog.net, that’s it.
From my experience, the only way to get rid of YT ads is Brave browser. Firefox with uBlock Origins is not enough, or maybe I just misconfigured it. I haven’t tried Librewolf… but I think it’d be the same.
lemmy.ml is definitely not for you, but you will most surely find another instance accepting you on https://join-lemmy.org/instances. If you don’t find anything that suits your needs you can also run your own instance.
Nothing to say about the last two arguments, but this:
It is technically theft
…is just bullshit. Theft is illegaly taking a property or service from a person with the intent of depriving them of it. When you’re pirating, you’re essentially making a copy for yourself. In doing so, you’re not taking the original book, nor are you depriving the original owner of said book.
“Piracy is theft” is just some heavily regurgitated nonsense from the early 2000s that has been debunked many times over. It needs to die, because it is just objectively not true.
Not to mention that people that pirate that material are still going to talk about it, so even though they’re loosing one sale to piracy they may be getting an extra 10 sales through word of mouth.
If that would be possible, how would you moderate comments, seeing how random things can get? Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)? What if you keep your blog, then push every post you make there to your solo-community on a finstance? You can engineer your comment section on the blog to pint here or fetch the comments content from fediverse to your blog…

I don’t know what you mean? If I am the admin of an instance or the moderator of a group, I could delete comments or is this just not possible?
Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)?
Why doing this? Wouldn’t it be enough to block the illegal instances and those who are explicitly against your topics?

I am trying to be as green as possible. Having a blog on one server and the comments on another sounds like an inefficient way of using resources. Why not just put the articles where the comments are?
With Mastodon I had the same idea, that I will publish an article, post a link with short description on Mastodon and then use the Mastodon post as the comment section, then edit the blog article and put the link to Mastodon on the end of the article with a simple text link like “Comment section”.
But even this idea felt a bit odd and more unprofessional.
Lemmy looks like a really good solution to this atm.
