@dmcahill Thanks for sharing. Good article. Even though I live in a different country, have a different gender and a different job, this text could have been mine. So many stories of those identified later in life are quite similar to one another.
Sergej Sergejitsj woont in een dorp in de grijze zone in de Donbas, aan de rand van Oekraïne. Aan de ene kant vechten de separatisten, aan de andere kant soldaten van het Oekraïense leger. De meeste dorpelingen zijn in 2014 al gevlucht. Er is geen winkel, geen postkantoor en geen stroom meer. Drie jaar later wonen er nog twee mannen: Sergejitsj en Pasjka.
@technology Oh, for sure, they mention the App Store fees and extensive review process, but in my opinion involving the price of the iPhone and past history of Apple is strange (and seems to make the case weaker).
Eeeeehhhhhh… you can’t really fault a company for a previously unknown hardware defect going against their stated principles. That’s like faulting the devs of OpenSSH for their principle of security because CVE-2023-38408 existed for years.
Hate on Apple for legitimate things, of which there are many.
TL;DR Putin is a MGS character: anticom russophobes miss that he doesn't get the USSR+thinks orthodox christianity can magically boost birth rates+stonks, criticism of Russian elections has to be insane because is it is broken the same way as western demo
@OldGermanicGuy@linguistics
Auf Helgoländisch sieht das ein bisschen anders aus; z.B. altfriesisch 'bām' und 'strām' wurden zu 'Booam' und 'Strooam'. Ich weiß aber nicht, wie 'ooa' auf Helgoländisch ausgesprochen wird, wie /ɔ:ə/, /ɔ:/ oder etwas anders? Ich verstehe, dass das Nordfriesische sich aus dem Altostfriesischen entwickelte: könnte 'ā' im Altostfriesischen wie 'ō' im Altsächsischen ausgesprochen worden sein?
(#Halunder).
@simonwilliamson
tja, und ich suche jemanden der Halunder spricht. Mir fehlt Übung und die Sprach CD nützt mir nichts ohne das passende Buch was selbst gebraucht vergriffen ist und nicht in der Bibliothek verfügbar. So verstehe ich nicht mal ein Drittel. Mit dem üblichen Platt habe ich keine Probleme, aber Halunder ist wirklich speziell. @linguistics

The Who taught me the word "sack" in Substitute. The Stones taught me "politesse" in Sympathy for the Devil. Those guys didn't even have the internet. They were facile enough with those words to rhyme them.
My fellow #ActuallyAutistic folks; do you cycle through your fixations? Right now I'm fixated on gaming so much with all these special in-game events that I've put aside language learning. I've also been really into my writing/editing, which is very awesome. But sometimes I'll switch tracks, and I'm all like, "Learn all the languages! Make all the musics! Crochet all the blankets! Read all the books...at once!!" 🤣

In this ground-breaking book, Distinguished Professor Aileen Moreton-Robinson undertakes a compelling analysis of the whiteness of Australian feminism and its effects on Indigenous women.
@rowlandm it's a great book. If you're interested, I created @indigenousauthors so people can share/discuss books like this one. And I made another auto booster @auslit for Australian literature, in general
