Tonight I started a discovery course of Hebrew. Just for me
I checked the alphabet
Similar system of consonants and strong vowels on which you append unwritten short vowels
Then I went on with the words that are close to Arabic, which I started to learn 20 years ago (not seriously enough): I still remember though how to pronounce most of arabic letters, and remember some vocabulary
I post my "course", because I recognize many of the words: THREAD will be LONG
AARP has an action item. If you don't like or trust these forms, you can simply use the language they provide to email or call your Congressperson and Senators.
For anyone interested, the kindle editions of The Obelisk Gate by N. K. Jemisin and Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Sword are on sale for $4.99 and $3.99, respectively.
Both books are the second in each series but just the kick in the pants I needed to check out The Broken Earth trilogy.
I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).
Regarding the UI and the look and feel, I can highly recommend catppuccin as a theme in basically whatever you want. I use it on Mint Cinnamon as well, and find it very good looking!
It's been ages since I've visited the hairy elephant! Just ducking in to share this charismatic little toothed mushroom, common name #earpickfungus! Notice how the stem is attached to the edge of the cap instead of the centre! Also this little mushroom is grown out of a Douglas Fir cone. What's not to love? They're so tiny they're easy to overlook. But if you slow down to start taking in the world of the small the world expands.... #mycology#mushroom#mushrooms#funghi#pilze#きのこ#wander
Look, I'm a writer. I know there are too many superlatives in this piece. But there are not enough superlatives in the world for what @neilhimself and Fourplay did last night.
Yep, I’ve done it accidentally before. I replied to what I thought was a mastodon account but it was a Lemmy sub. All the comments on that thread come to me on mastodon as replies.
Since I did it by accident, and they also didn’t know it, we were all very confused for a while.
I’ll sometimes tag Lemmy communities in my mastodon posts. The only thing I dislike about it is how Lemmy displays tags in the post title. There’s got to be some way to fix it so it’s not so off-putting.
