I'm searching for a fairly old (probably like 2008-2012) YouTube video called something along the lines of "Another Day, Another Dollar." Searching this title, if it is that, obviously didn't bring up anything relevant. It features a guy on a couch using a Sega Dreamcast(?) keyboard sitting next to a skeleton. Another guy walks...
I've been working on #Esperanto lessons on Duolingo lately because I'm fascinated by its prominence and use in early international #leftist movements and want to do my best at reclaiming that in a one-person campaign. Not doing, like, great at retention, but trying all the same!
If you're having problems with retention I would recommend using Anki. Other Esperanto learning resources are available at https://kbin.social/m/learnesperanto.
This does seem like quite the orthographical disaster. As someone who always tries to keep their writing systems as regular as possible, how do you keep track of something like this?
A while ago on Reddit I remember reading about Prolog, and the fact that it "made writing interpreters so easy it was banned in competitions." Is there such a thing as an interpreter or compiler writing competition?
I used to use Ubuntu, but over time I began to accumulate a series of grievances. The final straw for me came when they made Firefox a Snap. Then I did a bit of distro hopping, trying out Manjaro, Fedora, and OpenSUSE, but none of those really satisfied me and they had their issues too. Then I tried Mint and I knew I had found my new home. Mint to me feels like the idealized version of Ubuntu: stable but not out of date, comes with good software, and easy to use. All of this without the corporate nonsense of Ubuntu.
Flatpak allows downloading from 3rd party repositories and is fully open source. It seems like it might have some security issues regarding the sandboxing though according to this. Regardless, I trust it more than anything with proprietary code.
Edit: I've been schooled in the comments, this is no longer a thing, they've relented and allowed more control over the censor list. But hey, it's kinda funny still, so, feel free to keep reading if you like......
From Software games have filters for player names and it often leads to stuff like this. Thus if you put "knight" in your character's name, a common thing that people do given that they're medieval fantasy games, it appears as "k***ht." Likewise "dead" becomes "d***" and "Thomas" becomes "T**mas." Even more embarrassingly, the filter is case sensitive and all the filtered words are lowercase, so you could name your character a slur and it would be fine as long as you capitalize the first letter.
Writing a conlang grammar is pretty hard, especially so for analytic and isolating languages. Most natural language grammars seem to be based off the classical grammars of Ancient Greek and Latin, 2 languages with a lot of complex morphology; something that isolating languages obviously lack. So what does one do about that then?...
Someone here already has 12 subs on his own. We would be inspired to avoid the era of the power mods. Moding should involve an interest, not just collecting rings of infinity like it's a gold rush. How can it be a good practice in the long term?...
@FfaerieOxide I'm definitely guilty of this, but I think of it this way: if I were some user who wanted to post some content related to some magazine that didn't exist yet, I might be discouraged for that reason. If a magazine for it doesn't exist, maybe that means nobody else cares about it? I think if a magazine exists for some topic, that signals to other people interested in that topic that at the very least a place for their interests exists and there are other people who care about it too, even if that place has little content. Maybe this is wrong but that's just my thoughts.

As a side note, does the last part of the 2nd to last sentence look right ("kuragxigataj praktiki siajn lertecojn", intended to mean "encouraged to practice their skills")? I don't know how to do a construction like that yet and I have no idea what it would be called to look it up, so I kind of just assumed it would be the same as in English, a passive participle followed by an infinitive.

Magazine icon ratios
Why is is that magazine icons are only displayed in the ratio of 6:5? Anything outside of that ratio gets awkwardly cropped out.

OC Been trying to generate gods for a story, this is the war god. Very pleasantly surprised by the cool sword it gave him, usually swords end up looking like garbage.
