Ategon showed interest in the chat on making the notification chime configurable. So you could for example have it chiming when it's full, or for any number of pixels.

Brace yourself: it is about to get worse. r/RedditAlternatives has some interesting posts saying how Reddit is about to ditch their modmail in exchange for their “chat” function (that has never worked correctly… ever).

*rolls eyes* "Great".

I might be wrong, but I think this whole issue boils down to four vices brought from Reddit: assumptions, decontextualisation, genetic fallacy, oversimplification. Those four on their own already make social media hostile, but if you couple them with political engagement (otherwise a great thing), you'll get people who genuinely see no difference between "they euthanised a 11yo dog with cancer" and "they kill puppies".

Or between "free Luigi" and "$CEO_name needs a Luigi in their life". Both show support to the same cause, but only the later can be reasonably understood as a call to violence (to the point it'd bring the admin troubles.)

It sounds like a good idea, if you have the time+skill+money to do it.

Odds are that your instance won't be big. But at the same time, you'd have an easier time moderating it, specially if you only federate it with "cleaner" instances. (With "cleaner" meaning "that don't post content you'd remove").

We're in the same fart!!.

I'm still laughing at that. Sneaky!~

Good-looking dark elves >> homunculi 100% of the time. Plus Takuto got some great early game bonus, research tends to be a big deal in this sort of game.

I use DuckDuckGo for that. Seriously. It's good enough for my purposes, and I don't need to create account.

Those flatearth weirdos would rather admit that the Earth is hollow than that it's a normal (albeit flawed) full sphere.

"What's your favourite magical girl?" "Frieren, of course."

Cute chicken! Great idea to put it on the tree. Also, thanks for the help with the tree!

The link doesn't load for me, it shows an error page. Thankfully the archive has the text in question.

Interesting run-down of the history of the expansion of the language. I must admit that I know practically nothing about Africa's linguistic landscape (specially not for modern languages!), so for me it was highly informative.

But in the mid-19th century, as demand for ivory and enslaved people expanded, local trade routes in central Africa became incorporated into a global network centred around the Indian Ocean.

This reminds me Nahuatl and Tupi in the Americas - due to colonisation they also expanded a bit, over other local languages. But unlike Swahili their expansion was short-lived (eventually the Iberian crowns enforced Spanish and Portuguese).

I also recommend people who are interested in the language to give the Swahili grammar Wikipedia page a check, IMO it's fascinating.

That's a great summary. It covers practically all sources of inconsistency (sound changes, internal variation, etymological and fake etymological pressures, cosmetic-O).

Additionally there's a small less-known rule that content words typically have 3+ letters, so sometimes you see "spurious" letters being added in. The link exemplifies it with ebb, add, egg, inn, bee, awe, buy, owe.

Julie and their son are démodé - Juma shows us the future! Glory! Fashion! Grass in the butt!

EDIT: what am I saying, mon Dieu? I didn't realise Julie was going for a retro look!

Such acclaimed design deserves to be celebrated for more than just a fade!
