they are collecting it to protect it, like a British Museum

Thanks. I have seen this and I thought it was all lemmy since it looks like devs wanted it that way for everyone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622

Is this not clear enough? Slurs are against our code of conduct and the goals of this project. Go to voat or gab if you want to use racist or sexist slurs; we don’t allow them here.

If you dont like it, fork it. Stop bothering us about it, we will never fully remove the slur filter.

yep, this time I have read the thread to the end :P

My objection is just based on you being in the wrong place. This is RetroGaming.
Else, good luck.

Well, I believe brainwashing can only happen when there is no access to information. Adults make choices, and this is part of being held responsible.

Mention dynamic pricing then

That’s very beautiful, but do you feel that way too when Trump says vaccines cause autism, Elon Musk goes on rants about the woke virus, and then that racist uncle who likes to drunk-drive and catcall mentions them as beacons of morality protecting society from transexuals?

Regardless of nature and nurture, at some point people must be responsible for the things they do and say, else we are going to have to excuse everyone for everything, as nature and nurture is no one’s fault… and I don’t believe that. One can understand all the context of why they are like that, and still want them to fuck off.

There are insults that I feel like are moralistic, majority seem linked to non-marital sex but the root overall is trying to shame someone for sexual activity that “should” be shameful. From those aimed at women like removed (lol lemmy, I’m saying the female dog here), slut, removed (ugh, the way devs treat everyone like children is ridiculous… it wouldn’t prevent a troll from writing wh0re, just prevent adults from having a conversation), etc, to homophobic insults, and even some more “neutral” like bastard… I don’t feel like people talk about bastard enough, like, you are trying to shame that person for their mother not being married? Like, single mother = bad person? (like son of a removed, bastard is pretty misogynistic)

However, when someone says something really dumb, and you try to come up with an insult to his intelligence, I think inevitably someone will try to link it to people who are mentally impaired. Even the word “dumb” here, it’s used for people with speech impairment, and people believed they couldn’t talk because they were idiots, which meant mentally impaired as well… given enough first-world-boredom, someone will make the fight against “dumb” and “idiot” their cause too.
What about when there is data and evidence to something and the person refuses to see or hear… you gonna call them blind/deaf? You will have a hard time finding an insult that first-world-boredom won’t try to link to shaming people with disabilities… even calling someone crazy, insane, demented, deranged, etc, those are all used to demean people with real mental conditions, it’s ok to make them the butt of the joke?

I’m all pro using insults like asshole, piece of shit, etc, instead of moralistic stuff when you are trying to insult a person’s character… but what if you are trying to insult a person’s cognitive ability? People dead set to be offended will find a way to say you are being prejudicial towards people with cognitive impairment.

I can confidently say the computer found it hot.

edit: nvm, thanks for the answer.

Once I stuck my finger in my computer’s cooler.

Sorry that I can’t recommend you any brand, mine is old and bought from a local security company that bundles it with their own software - if you connect it to the internet you can get a live feed through their ddns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS#DDNS_for_security_appliance_manufacturers but the security is probably shit :P
I hope someone here shows up with good modern options.

It seems like you are looking for a DVR. I have one with 1tb HDD and eight 1080p cameras, because they only record when there is movement I can save over a month of footage before it starts rewriting.

A take I had from this is that a non-phonetic written language works like cached memory (and you might have a lot to cache), while phonetic is like real-time rendering. I was reading about how Vietnam changed to its current script, and just like Korea, and also Paulo Freire’s view of language, seems like the change made the language more accessible.

“… have an alphabet like a functional race.” no, wait, I actually said “… have an alphabet like a functional language.”
Making fun of the writing system of a language = making fun a race (which isn’t even the people who created that writing system…). Yeah, I’m basically Hitler.

I don’t know about a lot of those points. I can read French quite well, but can’t speak it for shit, I don’t know how much I have to “convert” in my head since its phonetics are irrelevant to me (and as English became a main online language, tons of people everywhere in the world can read and write it, but not really speak it since we are all communicating primarily through text - my English pronunciation sucks btw)… but anyway, about stability and adaptation, China has 120k+ different characters in its language, the vast majority got out of use because other ways to write the same thing became more popular, so I don’t think it works like you described.

Have you ever heard about Paulo Freire? The guy developed a very interesting literacy method, he tested it out with adult rural workers from poor regions and in just 2 months he was able to get those people to read and write (even if with grammatical mistakes) because his method is phonetic (well, there’s quite more to it, but the reading/writing part is phonetic). For learning to read/write other languages, the “no sounding out” might be an advantage (like a lot of netizens writing in English without really speaking it), but for your own language, well, from what I understand they expect that only by high school the kids in Japan and China should be able to read their local newspaper because of the amount of characters they need to know for it, meanwhile Paulo Freire got adults, who have very low mental plasticity, able to do it in 2 months… phonetics and alphabets ftw :P

edit: We both know we are talking about Chinese and Japanese when talking about logograms, so great for them they have the same root and symbols have the same meaning even when sounding different. If there were other languages using logograms but with different roots, the positive point of symbols having the same meaning wouldn’t hold. But something happened with the Koreans that made them break away and build from scratch what seems to be the best and most logical writing system around.

I mentioned logograms specfically, but this made me racist toward Japanese people. So hey, congratulation, you now hate latinos.

In alphabets you learn a small set of letters. Using those letters you can logically form syllables. With those syllables you can write and read every single word in that language (yeah, through historical processes most languages fucked up the connection between syllables and phonemes, but that’s a different matter).

Meanwhile logographic systems have no logical way to form words (unless they are compound), as lots of words are their own symbol. In current logogram languages you are expected to learn from 2000 to 4000 different characters (compared to an average of 20-something letters in alphabets) just to read most publications - and odds are that if you try to read something from an area you have no expertise in, you are going to stumble upon several words you can’t even read (difference between ability to read and knowing the meaning. One may stumble upon a word they don’t know the meaning of while using an alphabet, but they can still read the word. While if you don’t know the right logogram for a word, even if you know the meaning of it, you can neither write nor read it).

I find the distinction even more clear-cut than imperial vs metrics, as imperial just uses very confusing conversions. Logograms are way more unnecessarily complicated.

Oh no, now you are being bigot towards *whatever ethnicity I belong*

- if I was to use the logic going on here.

“The belief that the imperial system is worse than metric is not unreasonable”
Is the belief that the logographic system is worse than alphabets (and abugidas, for that matter) unreasonable? You seem to suggest that, arbitrarily, for this case it’s not just unreasonable, but also bigotry…

“It’s time for the Japanese to drop their system” - racism.
“It’s time for the Americans to drop their system” - not racism.
Ok, whatever makes you feel better about yourself. I will still say logograms and imperial units are awful.
