Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology.

Remember the old days when you just used cash and ATMs? Yeah those days are still available actually

We've got

Entomology

Etymology

Philosophy

Psychology

Geology

Astronomy

Maths

Sciences

Cookery

Painting

Dancing

Music

Guitars

Architecture

Geometry

Linguistics

Etc

And some people still are bored and have no interest in anything

Is it depression?

Is it stupidity?

Is it narcissism?

I'm at a loss

A reminder:

If it's not a resounding "yes", it's a no.

People: "Windows is perfect, you nor a team couldn't improve on it if you tried"

Me: *kills dwm.exe cos things are laggy*

Dwm.exe: releases 8GB+ of RAM

Mmhmm sure, Windows couldn't be improved upon https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a859fbc13b98e89b499e0040c809a4945a9489621601f479f34e5a28a9270f3/74a3178afb22f90c4d402569955b7c46b2d3ccaf67c46737ac1818aff671ea77.webp

If someone seems to be being stubborn about something, perhaps ask them why (with genuine interest and desire to understand) and listen to them and believe them and don't try to change their mind (unless it's like life or death or an intervention is necessary)

There's probably a reason.

Alternative to meditation!:

1. Learn a new language. The more different it is from your native language, the better.

2. Speak it a lot. Get fluent, but don't learn much vocabulary.

3. Don't speak your native language much.

4. Voilà! After several months your mind will struggle to echo thoughts.

The endless battle between the "normal" and the practical

For anyone who claims this is a new problem under Trump — it's not, he's just made it easier to be open and brazen about it.

"Police in Sacramento, California, in 2018 worked with neo-Nazis to pursue charges against anti-racist activists"

Recently my octa core 12 GB ram phone has been unbearably, unusably laggy.

This seems to be directly caused by the Proton Drive app, trying to do file encryption and backup in the background.

This is Yet Another Nail In The Coffin, stacking up against Proton overall, as a service and as a company.

They're not Zionists.

They're Babylonyists.

They're trying to build Babylon.

Oh, happy summer solstice blessings. May we bring peace to this world — starting from within. As within, so without.

Warning for Windows update kb5058499

When it rebooted, it randomly decided to boot a different uefi boot entry.

No idea why, and I couldn't test it further.
