Is “the vast majority of your users” your display name or something? I have those turned off in my client settings

It’s an ENUM and other people have to read this fucking codebase too, Brian!

Vast yes. Deep, no. That’s what you’re experiencing; the actual game loop is about as complex as Farmville

Bit silly. In this scenario, you’re not measuring the speed of the truck. You’re measuring the time it takes to complete a lap. And we are the ballerina rotating, and as we are a miniature plastic ballerina with no outside frame of reference, our own regular rotation is the only consistent measure we have.

Yes, Wales is generally divided into North, Mid and South (and Corner, as in Cornwall).

South Wales generally corresponds with the former Kingdom of Deheubarth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deheubarth?wprov=sfla1

Deheubarth was punished for rebelling against Engkand in 1282 by being divided into the three counties of South Wales. Referring to it as South Wales rather than south Wales is a miniature act of rebellion in itself; the Welsh government styles it capitalised to emphasise that historical distinction; the Britsh government uses lower case to erase the distinction.

I swear to god if this is Schleiswig Holstein again I’m giving it back to Denmark

Edit: of course it is. Ok it’s Sønderjylland again now. Prusssians out.

Sure it is. Short and straight.

Go on, lecture an Irish person about cultural genocide. I so wish we had a culture but we don’t speak Irish anymore so of course we are a grey blob that nobody would recognise as distinct anymore 😪

Edit: downvote and run when “we just observe 💛” college rhetoric meets physical reality.

The reason most Americsn linguistics students equate language and culture is because a foreign language is the only different culture they’ve ever been exposed to.

The irony of someone named Soggy telling me about data preservation on paper is wonderful.

It’s not even really the change, it’s the rate of change. We are accelerating towards mutually unintelligible dialects at an outstanding rate, and at the same time do-nothing linguistic graduates are pleased to denigrate the idea of at least having a single widely-understood vocabulary so that a Malaysian can speak to a Scotsman without having to carry a dictionary.

For me it’s adjective/superlative escalation. Hey, this bagel is awesome. It fills me with awe. It’s much better than this soda which is terrible, it strikes me with terror how bad it is. It results in having to throw in intensifiers, which we’re exhausting as well. Wow this movie is so fucking good. It was worth leaving the house for.

I’ve also been both a second language teacher and second language learner. It is really hard to teach a language where 50% of the words are culture dependent and old texts are completely irrelevant. It’s very hard to learn simple language and be told it’s wrong now.

People talk about descriptivist drift like it’s 100% inevitable or even good, ignoring that we have finally reached an era of long term preservation of text and speech, and of global communication. We could be the first generation to be understood plainly for millenia. And what we are deciding to do instead is to make language from 100 years ago sound like Chaucer.

Is there still a market for anything in the middle ground between phone camera and mirrorless/DSLR?

How many times are we allowed to post articles about this tiny bit of stolen Danish swampland changing to LibreOffice?

Everything else is “a hack” in the sense that it is literally just the way to get Jellyfin working outside your network too.

Remote access via their servers.

Oh I get it. In this scenario you’re not solving a real problem, you’re committing fraud so you can run a robocall farm.

There is still no way to take triangulation out of ths chain, so OP is asking Proton to explicitly be a known facilitator of crime.

If you are connecting to the Internet without a mobile network device then why would you involve a SIM card? Do you understand the point of this post?

What.

There is a physical SIM or an eSIM (which registers with the device and network) in every cell-connected device.

You can interact with a SIM over the Internet, but you still need to, y’know, connect to the Internet.

Ok but have you tried using Jellyfin?
