    What kind of Telemetry do you allow?
  • I'm hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today's technology. I'll only allow it if it's reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it's consentual.

    What kind of Telemetry do you allow?
  • I prefer to avoid any and all telemetry. I'll tolerate some mandatory telemetry as long as they're honest about it and it's not invasive, otherwise it's just spyware.

    What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended?
  • I plan on eventually boycotting English as much as I can. Both because of what global English represents, and to counteract the massive international pressure to do everything in English and its consequences.

    online anti cheats are the worst thing
  • In my experience, most Windows-exclusive games work just fine under Wine. It's not that big a deal.

    This thread isn't even about Windows games per se, but about a few games whose anti-cheats are screwing over Linux users.

    online anti cheats are the worst thing
  • Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Are there really that many people in here of all places who think gaming is just triple-A games from companies that don't respect their players and nothing else?

    Edit: wording

    The fact that we aren’t aware of every process in our body means our brains aren’t fully connected with our bodies.
  • The fact that you don't know what Grimm's Law is means you don't actually know English.

    Whats the least fun fact you know?
  • That our memories are all we really know and have. They're also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

    Be careful.

  • Distinguishing dentals and palatals in the Latin alphabet

    I'm indecisive about how to best distinguish dental and palatal phones in my WIP Indo-European cloŋ in the script of the Romans. The full consonant inventory and their current orthographic values are in the image above.

    Some options I'm considering:

    • t̪ c d̪ ɟ θ ç n̪ ɲ - The phonemes in question.
    • t tc d dg s sj n gn - Their current assignments.
    • t tj d dj s sj n nj - All Js. Looks nice and intuitive, but a bit monotonous.
    • t ć d ǵ s ś n ń - The choice of diacritics is another matter. Looks clean, but they might fall victim to English speakers treating them as meaningless decorations.
    • p t b d f s m n - Quasi-etymological. Looks okay, and makes it easier to spot cognates, but misleading and unintuitive.

    Edit: I have no idea how to get tables working in Lemmy, so for now I've replaced the table with a screenshot from the Reddit thread.
