American English wasn't the only option for asserting our independence in the minds of some of the Founding Fathers. They also considered making French, Greek, and other languages the "American" language.
Learn about that and much (much!) more in this week's Grammar Girl interview with Gabe Henry, author of "Enough is Enuf" about simplified spelling.

I stopped using Reddit because the company was feeding my words into a large language model, and I stopped using StackOverflow because the company was feeding my words into a large language model, and I will stop using Discord if the company starts feeding my words into a large language model
Discord has become the place for gaming communities on the internet. It just celebrated its 10th anniversary. But as it tries to grow, one of the big challenges it faces is that it isn’t a good replacement for forums.
At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.
Si hoy podemos seguir respirando aire, bebiendo agua y comiendo alimentos es porque países como Uruguay, Indonesia, Nicaragua mantienen una relación con el mundo mucho más responsable que todos los países ricos, y porque les robamos sus recursos naturales.

Penguin colonies emit gaseous ammonia that enhances new particle formation processes in Antarctica, according to online observations of gaseous ammonia and aerosol particles from a coastal site in Antarctica.
@rholas na githubu psali, že na tom teď dělají, aby to z CSV šlo přímo z Wallabagu, tak uvidíme. Třeba to bude umět i časy vytvoření, které teď přes API bohužel nejdou.
Ahoj, nejsem si úplně jistý, ale mám pocit, že import z Pocketu do Wallabagu dřív fungoval – asi tak před dvěma lety. Pamatuju si, že jsem to s někým řešil. Každopádně obrovské díky za to, že jsi dal dohromady ten skript! Teď, když Pocket končí, se to bude fakt hodit víc lidem. @rholas

We received almost entirely AI slop reports that are irrelevant to our tool. It's a library and most reporters didn't even bother to read the rules or even look at what the intended purpose...
I can not wait for AI to start sending pull requests to projects on GitHub and starts collapsing the whole ecosystem below a pile of non-sense. I feel sorry you end up having to close those otherwise very helpful programs 😕
perhaps programs offering a monetary reward should require a submission fee. Submitting slop sends the fee to the maintainers. Have the program run by a trusted arbitrator.
It's wild how everyone jumped on pre-alpha level of quality Ai models to deliver production level output products thinking it would work because all they care are insane profits and shareholders always jump on it with full force when profits are involved. Until shit starts crashing down and no one will have any god damn clue whats even going on in the generated bullshit code with made up comments/labels on it. I'm a script kiddo level of "coder" and I know none of this can work.
Question: do you really have control over your data? Depending on the formats you use, that answer might be no. Here's why the Open Document Format (as used by LibreOffice and other suites) is important: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #openstandards
Consider the history of control over user files, whether for organisations or individuals Think about all the documents you have created in your lifetime: School assignments. Work presentations and reports. Household budgets. Letters.
hell yeah! I've been using Libre office and ODFs for years! I just set up collabora CODE on my nextcloud instance so now I can edit documents on my tailnet on any device 😎

Snímky pytlů těl domnělých zavražděných farmářů, kterými chtěl americký prezident Donald Trump upozornit svůj jihoafrický protějšek na údajné zabíjení bělochů v JAR, jsou ve skutečnosti fotografie z Konga. irozhlas.cz/zpravy-svet/trump-…
„Trump před zraky celého světa použil můj snímek, to, co jsem natočil v Kongu, aby se pokusil přesvědčit prezidenta Ramaphosu, že černoši v JAR zabíjejí bělochy,“ řekl reportér Reuters.
Aktualizuju firmware na svém Garmin radaru, koukám do release notes a nestačím se divit. Oni ve Francii zakázali zadní blikačky? #WTF 🇫🇷 🚴forums.garmin.com/sports-fitne… #cycling
@stepan Ty co rozhodují o pravidlech obykle nejsou příjemci důsledků. Ty co dělají pravdila nejezdí na kole, ale určitě jezdí v autě, takže to nemusí vůbec pomáhat cyklistům. Podobně jako o MHD rozhodují politici co nikdy MHD nejezedí a mnoho dalsích příkladů.
@wvi tipuju že to bode kvůli oslnění? Každopádně proč se vůbec bliká? Podle mě primárně protože se tím šetří baterie. Druhotně protože to lépe upoutá pozornost.
@stepan @wvi Kvůli šetření to jistě není. Chceš na sebe upozornit, aby tě nepřehlédli a nesrazili. Jak už jsem psal, mě to jako řidiče auta neoslňuje a vítám to.
@stepan Je to líp vidět než neblikat je hlavní důvod. Přední neblikám a nabíjím ćastěji, mohl bych stejně nabíjet zadní, ale i tak blikám. Zadní světlo na kole je výrazně slabší než na jakýmkoli autě nebo motorce, takže oslnění atd mi moc smysl nedává, ale třeba je nějaký fyziologický efekt na oko, který to hodně zhoršuje, ale pohcybuju. Ve městě kde je večer/v noci fakt hodně světel to blikání hodně pomáhá. Ja to preferuju i jako řidič auta aby cyklisti blikali.
Zkusím to. Pro všechny, kdož poslouchají #radioBeat a vůbec rockovou muziku. Založil jsem Discord server a jste vy, i všichni vaši známí, srdečně zváni. Tady je odkaz s pozvánkou: discord.gg/WTNVUcGbh2
