Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Canada should ditch English as an official language and become 100% francophoneEnglish
1·8 days agoI’ll concede the whole argument because you’re well informed, but you’ve kinda just been an asshole from moment one. Do you want information exchange or do you want to be right?

1·8 days agohello!
- you are right, but i think we can agree that calling attention to the difference between a linguist and a polyglot who made an auxlang is pedantic.
- all nouns in esperanto end in “o”, unlike in spanish, where “libro” (book) is masculine and puerta (door) is feminine (there are less obvious examples like “lapiz”, masculine). I think its fair to say that esperanto has un-gendered nouns since you cannot delineate a gender from just looking at the noun itsself. any source on esperanto will corroborate this.
- i dont neccesarily disagree with you about this, but esperanto does have fewer moods than spanish, so id call it easier than spanish on that front. it also has fewer declensions than russian (to my knowledge)
- i say the french did it beause Gabriel Hanotaux was the one league of nations representative who didnt want to adopt it for international relations. esperanto is notably easier to learn than french on account of the ungendered nouns, fewer moods, etc. I think it would make sense for politicians to learn it and we avoid all the translator BS.

4·11 days agoI can see why you’d think that, but I see Esperanto as Spanish with fewer steps. No grammatical gender, two less tenses, fewer moods, and verbs don’t change form depending on the subject. “I/he talks” in Esperanto would be mi/ni estas, whereas in Spanish it would be Yo/El Hablo/Habla. Esperanto was manufactured by a linguist to be easy to learn, for use in global politics, but the French really liked being the main language used in trade/diplomacy at the time, so it all kinda fell apart.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Can Anubis and Iocane be linked?English
121·29 days agoThis may sound like a weird thing to do, but I realised that many crawlers and golems are somehow still able to get past my Anubis. I presume they have gotten smarter and are capable of using Runes.
To counter this, I want to ethereally link my Anubis to an locane setup such that:
Ether > mage tower > Anubis >Iocane > my orb
My hope is that two different filtering mechanisms one of which will actively poison and waste the golem’s energy) will protect my realm better.
I thought I’d ask before actually trying out something like this.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How much proof is there that smart tvs and phones listen to you?
21·1 month agohttps://www.howtogeek.com/you-can-still-buy-a-dumb-tv-but-should-you/ This article outlines the situation really well. your two options to not be spied on out of the box are to buy a terrible TV or to buy a commercial one. They dont make “dumb tvs” anymore. I wonder if theres a way to implement one’s own firmware n all that to turn a nice samsung into something more private.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Which Firefox alternative do you guys recommend?
21·2 months agoKinda depends on your preference. A lot of people are proponents for librewolf, but it hasn’t been great for me in the past. Privacy is probably top notch, but I have zen browser a try and I’m not hating it. Could also be a move for you.
