No, I sent this off to TheDarkroom, in LA/Socal. But they were so underexposed that their scanner didn’t handle them well, so I rescanned them at home.

Love the creativity here. This is the kind of stuff I hope to see more of on lemmy

If you’re looking for anti-neuclear skeptics and fear mongering, I don’t think this is any more the place than reddit was. I hope rather than seeking out those echo chambers you look into this a bit more. I don’t have any good stuff to link you too off the top of my head, but maybe someone else in the comments will

This is the one I had seen before

I was a fan of the version with the tricolor, but I think this interpretation actually makes me okay with the one they adopted

X with serifs, but only on the right side

I agree with what other people have said about using the command line more and the gui less, that will make you have to learn about utils like find, grep, sed, and maybe awk.

Try learning vim (or emacs). Use some command like tools for stuff you’d do in the gui. Try some basic scripting for common tasks. Maybe write some short python/ruby scripts if you need them. I’ve found that writing code has given me a need for learning more about how the command line works, and other “power user” features.

If the win is out of reach for me, I at least try and make them earn the rest of their victory. The more you make them have to actually work for it, the more they’ll enjoy the win. I guess I kinda think of it like a D&D game where I’m the DM: now my job is to facilitate the other player(s) having fun.

Either that or I’ll ask questions and try to learn, so I can come back stronger next time.

Their writing systems have their own cool histories. Japanese technically has 4 writing systems (kinda 5 if you count the original purely chinese-character based system). Korean used to have Hanja, a Chinese based system, but then some emperor just decided “nope, this sucks, I’m making a new thing”, and came up with hangul. Imo hangul is one of the coolest systems out there.

Baltic languages are awesome. I only wish I could master those case systems!

Chinese did influence a lot of east Asian languages, but it’s more like the relationship between Latin and English - lots of borrowing and influence, but it’s not an ancestor.

Linguistics. Did you know English and Bengali are related? They share an ancestor about 5000 years ago. Russian, Latin, Farsi, and Greek, and lots more are in that family too.

Do you know what languages are not related at all, absolutely 0% aside from borrowings, even though if you know a bit about em they seem like they should be? Japanese and Korean.

Just read The Dispossessed last month. It’s a good one for sure 👍

Not right now, but I will tomorrow I promise

So I noticed this in the user settings (at least here in Liftoff, not sure how it looks elsewhere), but you can set a “display name”. Seems like a cool feature.

It’s a must if you want secure passwords. My gf doesn’t use one - her passwords are all re-used variations of l33tsp34k that are pretty easy to guess (I can get into her accounts in a few tries if I need to). But also she forgets them often.

Ever tried a bidet? I can never go back to just tp now. Thinking about getting a travel one too

Yup, exactly this for me too. Been done a thousand times before by companies like them. Plus the fact that the fediverse is not run by any company is just really nice - we don’t need them.

I definitely did. A lot of the communities I’m interested in are even smaller here, so I can actually post without just falling off the ‘new’ feed. Plus I’ve been commenting more too, and it seems like I’m not the only one. Got some local restaurant recommendations lol
