people have a very hard time with the idea that language in general […] evolve[s] over time

Writing is not language. Speaking is language (edit: in this particular case), and there’s no phonetic change here. If a spelling is due to another language that the parents, or really anyone, speak, that’s fine. But if your language (read: English) has such a terrible spelling system that people can do these things completely arbitrarily and the spelling is still somewhat readable, there’s something wrong with that writing system (not with the people!)

It says “strawberry morning”, lit. “morning of strawberry” (might be misspelled??)
It’s a variation on common Arabic morning greetings, “good morning”, “morning of roses”, “morning of light”, etc.

Floor/door and poor might differ depending on dialect

And the whole point of zoology and cooperative is that they aren’t digraphs (hence why some super posh people write coöperative)

Definitely. East and Southeast Asia, the entire Indian subcontinent, most of the Middle East and parts of Greece and (maybe) Italy?!

So unbalanced.

Ctrl+A, Ctrl+E

Many more basic Emacs keybindings work, actually! Including C-f, C-b, C-p and C-n (if you prefer them over arrow keys) as well as M-f and M-b to move by words, C-k, M-d and C-y for killing/yanking (but not M-w) and C-SPC, C-w, C-x C-x for region manipulation (tested in Bash and ZSH)

Not necessarily of two-party systems or FPTP, I think this is a property of single-member districts in general. If you have multi-member districts (say 4 or 5 representatives per district) this becomes much less effective. Statewide PR solves this by removing districts, which for most people isn’t ideal.

Are H and J compatible?

I can see the instagram version with yt-dlp

I interpret this being more about how GNOME apps function in general, also on other desktops, which is fair criticism.

That’s an Arabic loan word if I’ve ever seen one

Found the Haskell programmer

Why doesn’t a spectrum imply total ordering? Seems like an ordinary one-dimensional line (of course in reality, sexuality is not just a spectrum either, it’s some high-dimensional space, but I digress…).

Or do I just not know the word spectrum properly?

You’re right. In fact, I think the easiest OS to install is probably some sort of Linux distro. But most people don’t install their OS. And Windows is shipped built-in on many computers (even though we’re starting to see some Linux options as well).

If you want, you can also compile everything with Nix!

The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

If you self-host Bitwarden you can also get the paid tier features

Left foot

I’m the exact opposite: I always try to end on the right foot!

Is that mpv 👀

As far as I know, it’s literally just Linux, so anything is possible

Fortunately, browsers have safeguards against this sort of thing (activating the camera without user interaction)

…right?
