That’s why everyone learning English should also learn basic IPA to be able to read phonetic transcription and pronounce words correctly.

Just knowing the symbols for all English vowels/consonants is fine, no need to study IPA more than that, unless you find it interesting, like me.

I recommend reading this Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology.

Just look up consonant and vowel charts here, you don’t need to study the details unless you really need to. Especially given that this article is full of linguistic jargon, and you probably won’t be able to understand any of this unless you have elementary knowledge of phonetics/phonology.

When I was in early 20’s it was much easier for me to chat with people much older than me than ones of my age, unless they shared my hobbies and interests.

Now in my late 20’s, I still find chatting with people of early 30’s easier, but I think that’s reasonable.

Matriks404 ,

Absolute Chad.

That’s great unless that person’s files get corrupted/deleted or hard drive fails. Then having backups in the cloud or at least ona a device on a local network is a good idea.

The fuck are Copilot+ PC’s? Are they regular PC’s with Copilot+ branding?

To be honest as an Android user, if Apple makes their phone less locked down and give more affordable choices for phones I may try an iPhone, as I am a bit fed up with Android, and there are no other real alternatives.

Matriks404 ,

Isn’t Apple one of these companies that actually does not sell user’s data?

Matriks404 ,

It still costs nearly as much as minimal wage in my country (OK, ~$200 USD less), I am not going to buy it anytime soon.

This meme is posted so often, some people may actually believe that Chrome uses a lot of RAM. And it uses about the same amount of RAM as Firefox.

Matriks404 ,

2 coffee and french fries. And gimme back my $10.

Matriks404 ,

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was illegal in EU.

Matriks404 ,

I don’t think I’d be happy if all my savings were reduced to $15.

First OS: Windows ME (shudders)

First Linux distro: Some random one designed to run on Netbooks (Couldn’t get wireless to work if I remember correctly)

While I don’t really like to play newer Doom games (still would rather play original Doom or Doom 2), they really look great and metal as fuck.

Matriks404 ,

That’s why I only code as a hobby.

Frutiger Aero was best. Not only for beautiful design, but also there were standards people followed on making UI’s. Now everything goes. Last time I wanted to register on some shitty website it didn’t provide me any feedback that I wrote “weak” password (I copied it from KeePass), except literally green button that you could click like a madman and it didn’t do anything but went gray when password was “strong enough”.

I am always fucking nervous when somebody leaves a child for a minute near me and my dog. And let me tell you: My dog is even more nervous. Just don’t.

Matriks404 ,

I wouldn’t. But of course I wouldn’t want to see that dog ever again, no matter how much “good boy” he was.

Matriks404 ,

Exactly, that’s why I am watching modded Minecraft playthrpughs instead.

Matriks404 ,

It had its lows and highs in my opinion. But yeah Firefox on desktop is a great experience right now. Sadly I can’t say that about mobile version, it’s frustrating to say the least.

Matriks404 ,

I am already learning to use FreeBSD. I definitely recommend reading the official handbook, it is even a pretty great introduction to Unix overall.

Matriks404 ,

I find that green-text hard go believe. But let me go straight with this one - If I worked my ass to buy not only one PS5 but 2 and they got stolen or some other shit I’d probably never touch video games again and find some other hobby.

I once played EU4 too much as I’ve continued to “play” it in sleep, and later wondered why didn’t it save.

Matriks404 ,

computers, geography, language learning

Are you me?

Matriks404 ,

I like how they end support for OS without providing an upgrade for a lot of people. Might as well put a Linux ad in their “Your PC is not supported” bullshit.

Matriks404 ,

I am not a materialist but nothing catches my eye that is good enough, so:

  1. 3 million dollars.
  2. A shoebox of like the rarest material that I could sell, but not something that can kill me or which half-life causes it to “evaporate” in a second.

I have YouTube Premium for a while, and I have never seen these badges.

Somebody should make a map with most hated music genre/artist per country.

Matriks404 ,

Weren’t versions for 95/98 7.0 and then for ME 8.0?

Matriks404 ,

I wasn’t aware of this term, but I just checked it in wiktionary. Looks like a perfect normal word to me.

Matriks404 ,

Start menu 🤮

Matriks404 ,

Everything. I don’t have time for accessing it and searching for what I am looking for.

Matriks404 ,

huh

Matriks404 ,

sudo is a bloat su - for life.

Matriks404 ,

It ws only like a decided ago when I had multiple amazing ideas for games and other software, only to have nearly none when I actually started to do some programming for fun.

I think there’s only one game I would like to try making where I see it may have some success, but the idea is very vague and devil is in the details and execution I guess.

Matriks404 ,

This extension stopped working correctly for me some time ago. It just stopped redirecting to breezewiki correctly.

Matriks404 ,

Is this the most reposted greentext?

Matriks404 ,

I don’t even understand what the point is of this product. Seems like e-waste at first glance.

Matriks404 ,

How is Poland a shithole? Did a person who wrote this crap have seen this country at all? We had literally one of the biggest economic growths in Europe during 90’s/00’s.

Infinity is a concept that we made up for the purpose of explaining some math. Prove me wrong.

Matriks404 ,

In Putinist Russia an article deletes you!

Matriks404 ,

No it’s all bits and bytes all the way down.

Matriks404 ,

It was. And it is called Sapir–Whorf hypothesis.

Matriks404 ,

I am pretty sure a phone from 10 years ago could do about same shit as my current one as long as it still had working battery, supported OS and non bloated shittified apps. Pretty much the only thing that needs better specs are more modern games, but I don’t really like to play games on my phone anyway (except old-school RPG’s and emulated games I guess).

Neither being pro-life or pro-choice has anything to do with science but more with morality and social values some people believe in.

Matriks404 ,

What if every part of my body is replaced by computer part continously. At what point do I lose my consciousness?

I think this question is hard to answer because not everyone agrees what consciousness even is.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

How hard is it to make a decent OS Microsoft? Haven’t you got enough of our money already?
