No, I sent this off to TheDarkroom, in LA/Socal. But they were so underexposed that their scanner didn’t handle them well, so I rescanned them at home.

That’s how it used to be. You asked questions to people who were believed to be wise, and then their answer was what the truth was. And most of the things we “knew” were just wrong.

Not that it’s less complicated now…

Love the creativity here. This is the kind of stuff I hope to see more of on lemmy

If you’re looking for anti-neuclear skeptics and fear mongering, I don’t think this is any more the place than reddit was. I hope rather than seeking out those echo chambers you look into this a bit more. I don’t have any good stuff to link you too off the top of my head, but maybe someone else in the comments will

This is the one I had seen before

I was a fan of the version with the tricolor, but I think this interpretation actually makes me okay with the one they adopted

This concept actually makes me want to have AI take my job

My c++ is pretty rusty, but I hopped through the changelogs. I think this is the source for it here https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/components/antitracking/URLQueryStringStripper.cpp

X with serifs, but only on the right side

I agree with what other people have said about using the command line more and the gui less, that will make you have to learn about utils like find, grep, sed, and maybe awk.

Try learning vim (or emacs). Use some command like tools for stuff you’d do in the gui. Try some basic scripting for common tasks. Maybe write some short python/ruby scripts if you need them. I’ve found that writing code has given me a need for learning more about how the command line works, and other “power user” features.

I still have my Eee 901 sitting around with my collection of old tech. It actually booted up a couple years ago when I last checked it! Used the crap out of it back in college for computer science classes, since all I really needed was a terminal.

In a similar vein, I’ve been rewatching TNG and find myself thinking that they really should have put a cctv camera in engineering. Could have saved them a lot of trouble.

If the win is out of reach for me, I at least try and make them earn the rest of their victory. The more you make them have to actually work for it, the more they’ll enjoy the win. I guess I kinda think of it like a D&D game where I’m the DM: now my job is to facilitate the other player(s) having fun.

Either that or I’ll ask questions and try to learn, so I can come back stronger next time.

Poor Tiny Dinky Daffy

Their writing systems have their own cool histories. Japanese technically has 4 writing systems (kinda 5 if you count the original purely chinese-character based system). Korean used to have Hanja, a Chinese based system, but then some emperor just decided “nope, this sucks, I’m making a new thing”, and came up with hangul. Imo hangul is one of the coolest systems out there.

Baltic languages are awesome. I only wish I could master those case systems!

Chinese did influence a lot of east Asian languages, but it’s more like the relationship between Latin and English - lots of borrowing and influence, but it’s not an ancestor.

Linguistics. Did you know English and Bengali are related? They share an ancestor about 5000 years ago. Russian, Latin, Farsi, and Greek, and lots more are in that family too.

Do you know what languages are not related at all, absolutely 0% aside from borrowings, even though if you know a bit about em they seem like they should be? Japanese and Korean.
