  Is Powerline ethernet based off of the same tech?

  Finally

  Language dependent maths

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t the “inuits have dozens of words for snow” thing kinda disproven? Afaik they only have like 5 or something, the reason people were saying there were so many is because Inuktitut, Greenlandic, etc are polysynthetic languages, meaning you can pack a LOT of information into one word (it’s possible to make complex one-word sentences for example). This does mean that there are a lot of words based off the root for snow, which is where people got the idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's learn some words in the Finnish language⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first part works better with a polish ESL accent compared to a more native one btw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's learn some words in the Finnish language⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the polish words for luck is “fart”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s photoshopped, it comes from an earlier picture posted here with pierogi

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A little known fact that may describe YOU⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for telling us a joke is a joke

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just give it up you’re not winning this argument 😭

  Anyone sane would have realised this is a useless thing to fight over

  Either that or you’re a troll

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Devolving to linguistic prescriptivism just proves you don’t have an argument anymore lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If only we knew...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have faith that it’s possible to reform at least some of them, even if it’s not everyone

  A lot of what gets people into these beliefs is environmental factors and the beliefs of those around them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people using the "þ" character?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my bad, I didn’t know that was the actual reason

  Most other thorn-users I’ve interacted with were doing it out of an attempt to reform English spelling so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people using the "þ" character?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not an anti AI thing and I have no idea why people keep repeating this misinformation

  It’s an internet phenomenon, called Bring Back Thorn, which has been around since before LLMs became popular

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helpful guide⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently the sun’s spectral absorbtion lines were discovered 4 years before the song was made

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks like hell to clean

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, yeeeees, YEEEEEEEES⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a “big main instance” effect that seems to form unfortunately

  And the barrier to transferring instances is quite high

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"United States" in French (États-Unis) would have made a very confusing acronym⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Polish, “United States” is Stany Zjednoczone, but the acronym is USA, even though that doesn’t match up at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poor doggo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  EXACTLY, English has diminutives like many other languages

  Also, slang terms are as “correct” as any other words, the only difference is the context where you use them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan faces UK ban after refusing to pay ‘stupid’ fine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not banned, but some ISPs block them anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A roundabout⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a real thing that happened in the town of Rąbień in Poland, a drunk driver was speeding down a road, hit a roundabout and flew through the air, before landing in a graveyard

  Miraculously, the driver made it out alive, but the car was totalled

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  people exist here though :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sunlight special⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fried egg is more common, no idea why they did boiled

  There has to be some kind of limit, otherwise a single atom of plutonium would ruin an entire mug

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s weird, I briefly participated, and that was before the LLM boom, Lemmy is the first place I’ve seen thorn be explained as an LLM avoidance measure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s an internet movement thing called bring back thorn (which is NOT an AI circumvention thing, as others have said) that aims to bring the letter þ (thorn) back into English

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crap, not again!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like something a cereal killer would do

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JFC, who did this?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JFC, who did this?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s this meant to be? Imgur’s just saying it’s unavailable in my region
