Maybe I should try Emacs, the problem is, it's made to be use with the gui client, and I like my terminal apps better, as they work over ssh and in a tty if I need them too, I know emacs has a tui version but that's not the main way to use it afaik

there is no main way to use it. the tui version is perfectly fine.
pretty sure the gui version is just some kind of wrapper around the tui version, many ui elements are just text

0x4c756e61 OP ,

@Haijo7 Oh ? okay thanks for the explanation, I remember someone (i don't remember who) saying that it was mean to be used with the gui client, granted it was doom emacs

Ik ben op zoek naar een paar (luister)boeken voor mijn vakantie. Genres die ik leuk vind zijn reisverhalen (meeste al gelezen), historische romans en spannende boeken (geen thrillers) die in andere landen of andere periodes spelen.
Auteurs die bekend zijn: Anya Niewierra, Judith Fanto, Paolo Cognetti, Sylvain Tesson, Frank van Zwol.

Tips zijn welkom.

@jeffjarvis Thank you for calling attention to linguistic issues. As a longtime bilingualism researcher, I was surprised to see code-switching mentioned in a political context, as it means switching languages syntactically in a conversation, which I often do between English and Japanese strategically.

The video you shared clarifies that people switching ethnic dialects, registers, or accents should not be called code-switching but rather some alternative like style switching. As she emphasizes, everyone does it. Here in Japan where identity forefronts a person's role more than what they identify with, someone like my wife can have a different voice with each individual or type of interlocutor, like a bicycle with 50+ gears.

My publications on bilingualism are accessible and easy to understand, with my educational background also in journalism: https://japanned.hcommons.org/bilingualism

@SteveMcCarty @jeffjarvis @linguistics @academicchatter I have seen 'code-switching' used for more than 30 years to refer to dialect and register switching based on social contexts. I think that ship has sailed long ago, and trying to narrow the meaning is just going to cause confusion in non-academic contexts where the broader use is general.

During the Wars in 1912 and 1913, military hospitals for wounded soldiers were opened in all bigger towns in . Most hospitals were in where several thousand wounded soldiers were treated.The number of hospitals in Belgrade increased during the Second Balkan War with the Bulgarians (June-July 1913), even thirty-six in total; two permanent and thirty-four emergency hospitals.

The last XXXIV emergency hospital was located in a onetime tavern Smutnikovac at the Topcider hill. The owner of the private hospital was the industrialist, banker and philanthropist Djordje Vajfert and it was run by his nephew, the lawyer and industrialist Ferdinand Gramberg.

Analysis

"The US political system was created to restrain democracy, not protect it.

"The founders essentially placed a ticking time bomb at the heart of our political system—and this could be the year it explodes."

They worked within a system that concentrated power in the hands of an elite, propertied, white male minority.

200+ years have "increasingly vested the majority of political power in the hands of a reactionary conservative white minority."

Imo, the "four threats" are interconnected aspects of the intentional foundational anti-democratic system.

I know many autistic individuals (myself included) who (on the whole) are not assholes.

on the contrary I find the vast majority to be very concerned about "doing the right thing"

unfortunately all you need to be an asshole is a desire to be said asshole.

As such, echo the sentiments of others here and say ditch that person.

The "Oh I'm not an asshole/racist/sexist/etc ... I'm autistic!" argument didn't work for Musk and it won't work for others.

he can still be autistic AND an asshole.

DoctorDisco OP ,
@DoctorDisco@mendeddrum.org avatar

I should add, for completeness sakes, I am not without my own periods of assholery.

I do constantly strive to avoid it.. but occasionally, it rears its ugly head(s).

However, I go on record to say I've never been a major asshole.. just a minor garden variety asshole.. espousing my strongly held opinons over trivial matters blown out of all proportion :) hehe
