The word 'lana' (wool) in languages such as Spanish is etymologically related to English 'wool'.
For words to be related, they don't have to look like each other.
Instead, you have to be able to trace them back to the same ancestor through regular sound changes - and that's what linguists managed to do with wool and lana.
The infographic shows the Germanic and Romance family trees of these words.

To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:
"I don't care, I use Linux"
Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?
This is a systemic problem.
You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

Most people likely know me as a musician first and foremost.
Recently however, I started a podcast with my wife about various topics, none of which are music-related. A different side to me, and a side to my wife I didn't know existed until a few weeks ago.
I found out she's an incredible speaker despite being mic-shy.

How to avoid falling foul of AI voice scamsChristian Rowlands (TechRadar)
Tamas G reshared this.
"What else do we forget about the pandemic? We forget how mesmerised we were as nature rebounded, how clean the air was in the absence of industrial scale human activity. We forget that carbon emissions fell at the sort of pace required to avoid cataclysmic climate change. We forget that no-strings cash payments saw child poverty in America plunge to record lows, that the UK slashed homelessness with schemes that found homes for people sleeping on the street.
We forget that there really was a sense of global solidarity, that the reflection demanded by a pandemic opened up spaces for us to consider truly radical and permanent change. Remember build back better? There really was a sense that the coronavirus, as we all knew it then, could be the catalyst for a better word.
It couldn't last because of capitalism. This isn't some glib statement, it is literally why such promises could never be fulfilled. Because such promises required redistribution and structural shifts to economies that billionaires don't want shifting."
