- Comment on What is the Best way to migrate Google-Photos to Immich? 2 weeks ago:
no really, no. because what you want to keep is subjective. like @Cerothen@lemmy.ca said, which is what i did, you just dump and import. but any curating is a manual effort.

- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 2 weeks ago:
yeah, i think ppl just need to remember: everything about society is made up. these things aren’t handed down by God. they are not eternal.
they were made by man, and they can be replaced. all we lack is the will to do so.

- Comment on Is there desire for Capt. Una spin-off? 2 weeks ago:
does it have to? SNW is ending. we won’t have a ship based, traditional Trek show. it would continue on that spirit with Una and any of the new characters from SNW.

what i would like is a followup with Capt. Una, so we can separate ourselves from TOS.
- Comment on ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯: Come and learn the Shavian alphabet 3 weeks ago:
i wanted to revisit this after spending more time with Shavian and Quikscript.
while i was initially more favorable to Quikscript as the “latest improved revision,” i’ve actually come to prefer Shavian overall in the end. this is due to the following:
-
I find an elegance to the way the Shavian alphabet uses mirroring for similar sounds. At first I was concerned it would be confusing, but with more practice I find it helpful because it narrows down the sound range I should be thinking of. Much of this is lost in Quikscript due to prioritizing different goals for handwriting flow.
-
Quikscript indeed is primarily about handwriting flow. This is not an issue in an age of computers, and even when writing i’m perfectly happy with Shavian “print” as opposed to a cursive Quikscript.
-
Quikscript has many more unique characters and alt-characters to facilitate cursive flow. That means many more unique symbols and rules to memorize.
At the end, it’s the elegant simplicity of Shavian that i’ve come to value the most.

word, i’m with you. thanks for reigniting my interest in this! it really is so cool, and English could really use an update. XD
- Comment on ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯: Come and learn the Shavian alphabet 3 weeks ago:
right, i think the intent is to simply write it like you say it, even if it is different dialect. so the spellings won’t match, but they aren’t meant to. in this way they will more accurately convey what is being said.
i hear you on the unicode support, and communities online seem good. there’s also an Esperanto variant of Shavian which is cool.
i may start with Shavian, and maybe do some quikscript for more artistic fun since it’s also geared for writing cursive.

So, is Shavian good? I have no idea how to judge a new phonetic alphabet script, if it is practical, functional, well fit for purpose.
Certainly cool!
