should give them another chance


reminds me of the time, a Malaysian newspaper mentioned him in a story an converted his name to local currency: 1.50 Malaysian ringgit https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=3915


That or a similar occurrence elsewhere is probably the inspiration for this.


awesome, would be nice to stream this to a screen on the wall in my home office ... even with low volume sound. project for the weekend :)

I once toured an elementary school in one country that was "twinned" with another elementary school in another country.

One of the classrooms (4th grade, maybe?) had one wall that was entirely a projection from a camera set up in a classroom of the other school. The other school had the opposite setup.

The effect was of one large classroom, though the projected one was naturally a little dimmer, fuzzier, and de-saturated. But I was told that even though there was no audio link between them, the children of the different classrooms got to know each other on sight, and formed social bonds.


I have regularly done just that! a projector on a big wall, and a portal to the namib desert... 100% recommend

see my other post with the full-viewport waterhole, that was what I used to get rid of YouTube chrome.


We did this in a project where, due to reasons, we used a windowless, dull, claustrophobic meeting room for 6 months. Every now and then our daily was interrupted by the sight of an elephant on the screen


I had exactly this thought looking at this camera's feed. Put it on a huge screen in a classroom BUT only turn it on as a reward. Otherwise no one would ever get anything done.


How about time shifted so you are at the same time of day as the video? That would be nice.


think it's a fair point. but it still triggered this in me: "only way to prevent more of my data from being stolen is to give Android more of my data"


>> Fair enough, you’re right.

read both of your comments and was wondering what happens if both of you were correct.


thanks, this reddit thread doesn't inspire confidence in proton's story :/ at all


what makes Latin difficult in your context? My focus isn't Math and fwiw found many very good, free, entry-level[1] self-study[2] books (Hans Orberg and others), and even Latin podcasts. There is even a fun Latin track on some of the popular language learning apps.

Thanks for the links.

As for difficulty, well, even English is not my first language. So Latin would be quite a stretch for me.

What makes things more difficult (this is not specific to Latin) is that Maths, Physics has its own language. Domain specific words, such as curvature, torsion, divergence, curl, force, power, action, moment, momentum do not translate in a way that is linguistically obvious.


this will end badly. for the US.


The eagle will eat itself once there is no one left to hate but themselves.


didn't it clearly say in the final paragraphs that, with KDE the taskbar is a mess. I for I, will continue to recommend Sway. /s


I'm a diehard i3/sway fan.

IMHO the 'desktop environment' is supposed to get out of your way. I'll admit that sometimes having a widget that makes it "easier" to connect to random wifi, or bluetooth devices is handy; but that depends on your use-case.

My hardware changes once every 5-10 years, and I never use bluetooth so these features are not helpful to me.


maybe an opportunity in crisis: move to Zulip, and self-host it.
