Would you think of words that you don't know, ending with "phile" as something sexual (or negative)?
  • If you created a page called "Wugphile" I would totally think it was about linguistics :D

  • @Bonehead Luke 1:38 "'I am the Lord’s servant, Mary answered. 'May your word to me be fulfilled.' Then the angel left her." / Luke 1:46-48 "And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed,"

    Does not sound like she didn't know what was going on, or that she didn't consent...

    Do Huawei phones have a secret backdoor that the Chinese government can access?
  • @fishos It is emphatically not common knowledge. I'm reading everyone asserting that such and such governments have backdoors on phones or whatever device, but you're the first person to cite an example. If you have more, I would appreciate you sharing those.

    Amazon is raising free-shipping minimums for customers without a Prime membership
  • Might I ask where you buy from? I'd like to make the switch, but since I live in another country and get my items here through courier, getting everything I need in one or two packages is significantly cheaper for me.

    Emacs rule
  • It's rather easy to get modal editing in emacs, such as the famous evil-mode or the less famous but easier to learn and customize modalka, which I use. Note that I'm not a programmer, so I use org-mode and LaTeX editing mostly.

  • I've used SMS exactly 3 times in my life, all 10+ years ago. My phone plan doesn't even include SMS anymore. It boggles my mind that people use SMS in the US, and I mean that seriously.

  • If you live in most of Europe or definitely Latin America, yeah, it is so popular it's kind of inconceivable not to use it, or at least hard to imagine. I genuinely don't understand how people in the US communicate.

  • Modalka for me. It has exactly what you want and no more, which also makes it a lot easier to learn: useful for me that I'm not a programmer.

    Visual Novel Recommendations~?
  • @Ingrid_Skovgard If you like Ace Attorney, then the recently released love letter to the series called "Attorney of the Arcane" is a great, great next target. The characters are captivating and the gameplay offers a few good twists on the standard formula. It gets pretty hard at the end, but not in a way that you can't solve by just paying close attention to the case. It's gotten several updates since its launch fixing typos and bugs, so the experience should be top-notch now. If you do try it, do tell how it goes.
