If you created a page called "Wugphile" I would totally think it was about linguistics :D

I'm mildly proud of how I categorise my games on Steam and interested to see others' methods in c/steam@lemmy.ml

@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...

@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.

What's currently your favorite consonant sound? in c/conlangs@kbin.social

[–] GadolElohai@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The voiced pharyngeal approximant/fricative [ʕ], though it does compete heavily with the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative [ɕ]. In the former case I really love the mouth feel, while in the latter case I love how it sounds more than all the other sibilant fricatives. Unfortunately, I am somehow unable to pronounce the former's voiceless version [ħ].

Do you prefer digraphs or diacritics? in c/conlangs@kbin.social

[–] GadolElohai@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I like chaotic orthographies (for conlangs only), so I prefer digraphs with a generous serving of historical orthography.

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.

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.
