@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.
@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.

For your enjoyment: Pride and Prejudice with Androids, an interactive read-write text adventure from the Library of Unwritten Books. In a future where automation provides for all, many live lives of leisure similar to the landed gentry. Play here: https://libraryofunwrittenbooks.org/?text=pride_and_prejudice.txt
FWIW, if you’re new to The Library of Unwritten Books, I suggest reading the Tips page before jumping in. See https://libraryofunwrittenbooks.org/tips/ Successful “game play” only happens if you embrace the role of reader-AUTHOR. ;)
Spoiler alert: I gave up eating mammals largely for environmental reasons. So, I’m sensitive to folks who throw out AI’s environmental cost without asking compared to what. I think the objection to AI is something deeper. That’s what I struggle with in the above talk.
Warum beschäftigt sich die DGUV-Information 215-450 "Software-Ergonomie" u.a. mit Informationsaufnahme und -verarbeitung beim Menschen, geht aber mit keinem Wort auf Neurodivergenz ein?
The German statutory workplace accident insurance publishes a guideline on software ergonomy, addresses human information intake and processing in it, but doesn't mention neurodivergence at all. WTF? @actuallyautistic@actuallyadhd

#AllStarTrek There's this, the episode with the giant telepathic stomach in space (#Bliss), how many #SevenOfNine episodes are there with just this one character? Does any other character get this kind of solo-episode attention?
I use paid search engine kagi.com; search results with no ads or “promoted” crap.
Seeing search results without all the advertising is shocking the first few times you do it. It’s amazing how much advertising pollution has crept into Google’s search results.
