I want to learn stenography, but haven’t really got to buying a keyboard designed for it. I also want to host an EteSync server, but the HTTPS thing has been a bit of a headache for me and I’ve mostly just left it sitting there.

Sabine Hossenfelder - they have positions that cause hurt to people
Can you elaborate on this? I haven’t really watched much of her content, so I am not quite sure how she’s causing hurt.
Did you get a phone case with your pixel? I didn’t when I bought my pixel 6a.
The phone case was a complimentary gift from the e-commerce platform I bought the phone from. Not from Google themselves. My guess is that they wanted to get rid of these 2023 H2 Limited Edition Pixel × Rhinoshield Phone Case Pixel 8 - Black that no one wanted to buy, so they decided to just give it away. Pretty thoughtful gift actually.
Thanks! Will try this.
I should point out that I got a phone from the notorious Google for GrapheneOS.

Aluminum has always been my favorite element and metal. I feel the urge to punch this anon in his aluminum-hating fuckface.
openSUSE Tumbleweed, because real life got a little too much and I wanted something that just worked.
So that’s why some vegetables sometimes have that wasabi taste to them.
What do you mean “the world isn’t getting better”? It definitely is. I mean, just look at, well, uhh… well uhhh… nevermind.
Probably the 20-year-old microwave.
These two pages outlines the reasons pretty well:
The latter seems to be dead, so here’s a copy on the WayBack Machine:

I wanted to add a summary to this comment, but I’m too sleepy to do that right now. Maybe I’ll come back to add it tomorrow.
Am I missing a joke here? How is “dey eat da poopoo” racist?
I don’t speak Bân-lâm-gú unfortunately. I just looked up those words, and they do sound slightly different!
(For Chinese learners reading this, please note that the tone markers in the romanization of Bân-lâm-gú (Southern Min, a group of languages including Hokkien, Taiwanese, etc.) is different from those used in Pinyin for Mandarin.)
I also looked up how these words are pronounced in Cantonese. They sure are really different! Mandarin really does have a lot more pairs of homophones and near-homophones compared to other dialects.
On a semi-related note, I think it’s really sad that the majority of Chinese dialects are slowly being replaced by Mandarin.
I never knew that there was such a key! Thank you! It’s really useful.
I’m a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese from Taiwan. Some people often mix up 在 (zài) and 再 (zài) in writing. It’s a bit hard to explain their definitions since they are merely function words (words that have little lexical meaning and express grammatical relationships among other words within a sentence), so I’m just gonna copy and paste their definitions from an online dictionary:
在: to exist; to be alive / (of sb or sth) to be (located) at / (used before a verb to indicate an action in progress)
再: again; once more; re- / second; another / then (after sth, and not until then) / no matter how … (followed by an adjective or verb, and then (usually) 也 (yě) or 都 (dōu) for emphasis)
As you probably have noticed, their meanings don’t overlap at all. The only reason some people mix them up is because they are homophones.
Another typo some… let’s just say, less educated, people often make is 因該 (yīn’gāi). The correct word is 應該 (yīnggāi), meaning should; must. 因該 is never correct. You can think of 因該 as the Chinese version of the much dreaded “should of.” The reason is that the distinction of -in and -ing is slowly fading away in Taiwan (it is still very much thriving in other Chinese-speaking societies), and some people just type too sloppily to care.
By the way, I should mention that 在, 再, and 應該 are very basic words, probably one of the first 500 words a non-native speaker learns.
Thank you! I often feel the urge to use “less” before a countable noun despite knowing that I’m supposed to use “fewer.” Good to know that it isn’t just me.
it really does suck. mine started since I was 14, like wtf
