  • What kind of Telemetry do you allow?
  • Clipper152 Clipper152 1y ago 100%

    I'm hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today's technology. I'll only allow it if it's reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it's consentual.

  • What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended?
  • Clipper152 Clipper152 1y ago 25%

    I plan on eventually boycotting English as much as I can. Both because of what global English represents, and to counteract the massive international pressure to do everything in English and its consequences.

  • online anti cheats are the worst thing

    In my experience, most Windows-exclusive games work just fine under Wine. It's not that big a deal.

    This thread isn't even about Windows games per se, but about a few games whose anti-cheats are screwing over Linux users.

    Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Are there really that many people in here of all places who think gaming is just triple-A games from companies that don't respect their players and nothing else?

    Edit: wording

  • The fact that we aren’t aware of every process in our body means our brains aren’t fully connected with our bodies.

    The fact that you don't know what Grimm's Law is means you don't actually know English.

  • Whats the least fun fact you know?
  • Clipper152 Clipper152 1y ago 100%

    That our memories are all we really know and have. They're also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

    Be careful.

    SVP pas downvoter un message juste parce que ce n'est pas en anglais. Qu'on ne fasse pas un mal exemple.

    Which is itself based on a much, much worse pyramid scheme: individualism.

    Distinguishing dentals and palatals in the Latin alphabet
    https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/43856104-e0f1-491a-bead-bba65b1a97f1.webp

    I'm indecisive about how to best distinguish dental and palatal phones in my WIP Indo-European cloŋ in the script of the Romans. The full consonant inventory and their current orthographic values are in the image above. Some options I'm considering: * t̪ c d̪ ɟ θ ç n̪ ɲ - The phonemes in question. * t tc d dg s sj n gn - Their current assignments. * t tj d dj s sj n nj - All Js. Looks nice and intuitive, but a bit monotonous. * t ć d ǵ s ś n ń - The choice of diacritics is another matter. Looks clean, but they might fall victim to English speakers treating them as meaningless decorations. * p t b d f s m n - Quasi-etymological. Looks okay, and makes it easier to spot cognates, but misleading and unintuitive. Edit: I have no idea how to get tables working in Lemmy, so for now I've replaced the table with a screenshot from the Reddit thread.
