mi scivolas, ke kiel grupo esperantistoj havas iomete alian preferon por tiparoj pro la gramatiko de ties lingvo

ekzemple, en la nederlanda, la duliteraĵo "ij" estas oficiale traktita kiel unuopa litero, kaj multaj logotipoj (ekz. tiu de "rijksmuseum") kunigas la literojn "i" kaj "j".

en esperanto, "oj" kaj "aj" estas tre oftaj finaĵoj de vortoj. pro tio, ĉu esperantistoj pli ofte preferas tiparojn, en kiuj la literoj "J" kaj "j" etendiĝas sub la linibazo kaj havas agordojn de kunŝovado, por malpliigi la distancon post "Aa" aŭ "Oo"?

congrats @nprofile1q... #Smithereen

(for everyone else, afaik it's a fediverse server application that is styled after old versions of VK)

"you call yourselves 'the gang', but you barely even commit any crimes, what's the deal with that?"

random thought: names that are also regular words (like "jade" or "beryl") are useful for fantasy works, because they are familiar to the audience, yet imply the least about the language or culture of the fictional setting

the biggest problem with programming in C, Java or Rust is the risk of wearing out the keyboard, due to them all being strongly-typed languages

i like how #esperanto has a word "ulo" that functions a lot like the informal word for a person (so, like "dude" or "guy"), but also isn't gendered

cynicism is absolutely poisonous to politics

if you don't expect any of your local politicians to stand for anything, and just treat them all as interchangeable corrupt douchebags, the end result is going to be an environment where corruption and cronyism runs amok

and we already got plenty of that, alright?

i don't want every country's politics to turn into a variation of early 20th century u.s., where instead of running on a consistent set of ideals or at least practical concerns, parties just draft random communities in order to get their votes (apparently, back then you'd have, as an example, the democrats in some city pledging support to the local irish community and the republicans to the polish community, and the only reason to vote for a party would be so it would benefit your community specifically)

so, what alternatives to the nvim-treesitter plugin exist now that it's archived? and isn't neovim supposed to have built-in tree-sitter support? #neovim

i once again express my belief that, much like a lot of places have laws forbidding employers from firing someone due to absence if said absence was due to a hospitalization, there should also be similar laws for cases of absence due to being arrested/detained by law enforcement, at least if said person wasn't convicted of a crime at the end

i have a question for speakers of different languages regarding how the software you are using expresses the concept of "an action is currently happening" (examples in english: "Downloading updates..." / "Saving report.doc, please wait...")

so far i see the following options, please correct me or provide with additional ones, or info on languages i have not mentioned

#german / #deutsch: passive voice with phrases such as "wird heruntergeladen" (is being downloaded)

#french / #français: nouns corresponding to verbs, such as "lecture" (reading), "téléchargement" (down-/uploading) and "enregistrement" (saving)

#russian / #русский: likewise verbal nouns, such as "чтение" (reading), "загрузка" (loading/uploading), "сохранение" (saving)

#italian / #italiano: verbal nouns ending in -aggio

#japanese / #日本語: verbs ending in 中
