Back in his day, yes. In modern greek it is sisero and in modern latin it is Chichero. Similarly, in Julius Caesar’s day, his name would have been pronounced Kai-zar and in modern latin and italian, it is Chai-zar.

Cent as sent + taur as tor. We pronounce most greek c’s as s in english as is cicero or cent being pronounced with an s sound instead of a k sound. Tor is the same as in taurus. Mine is not the only correct pronunciation, my explanation is just the justification for my specific pronunciation

Is tower 1 or 2 syllables for you?

I have been liking river lately after switching to it from hyprland. River is much more similar to my previous one which was xmonad.

Oh, I didn’t even think of Metas Threads. That is annoying.

What corporate entity is supposed to own the term “threadiverse”? It’s simply a portmanteau of fediverse and thread.

Thanks, don’t know why I didn’t see those comments before.

Why does the USB port say no USB?

nixos and guix are immutable and two of the only immutable distros I like

I’ve seen right wing liberals, left wing liberals, marxists, stalinists and anarchists just to name a few. If anything there is more diversity here than other platforms as it isn’t just various shades of liberal.

How would you even play operation without the cards? How is it scored, who wins?

Each player gets a hand of “specialist” cards at the start. Each turn a player draws a “doctor” card and attempts to retrieve the part on the card and if they are successful are awarded the money listed on the card. If they aren’t successful the player who has the specialist card gets to attempt it and wins the (larger) sum of money listed on the specialist card. In some versions of the game, there air no “specialist” cards, only “doctor” cards

I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me

Yeh, no shit… So am I. https://aiatsis.gov.au/explore/map-indigenous-australia

which country do you live in? I live in Noongar country, they also use 6 seasons and I think it is a much better system. The Noongar seasons are an ecological system based on changes in nature

There are three popular reckonings for the 4 season model. The meteorological seasons, astronomical seasons, and solar seasons. The solar season places the solstices and equinoxes in the middle of each season. The meteorological seasons are based on temperature but these days are aligned with the months with summer/winter (depending on hemisphere) starting at the start of December and ending on the last day of February. The model the US uses is the astronomical model of seasons and makes the least sense to me, it places the start of each season on the solstices and equinoxes which means that midsummer is actually the start of summer there.

try it yourself. 160 is interpreted as 1 minute and 60 seconds. 200 is interpreted as 2 minutes and 0 seconds. Both are equivalent.

I don’t have a lot of energy so please excuse the dot points

• Overpopulation is a myth that goes back centuries and has been used to fuel racism and genocide.
• We currently produce enough food and water and have enough shelter to sustain the whole human population.
• 1% of the worlds population is responsible for 15% of the worlds carbon emissions and nearly 25% of growth in emissions since 1990. The number of people is not the cause of the climate catastrophe, it is the people on top.
• The majority of all crops grown is used to feed livestock instead of people. We don’t need this much meat to survive.
• It is capitalism and the 1% that is the cause of all of this and not the majority of people. It is not the number of people that is the issue but the system and the people on top. Daniskarmas points about how much resources we require and how much we pollute are just false when you look at the cause of those issues and how much disparity there is between the majority of people and the top 1%. We currently produce enough food to feed 10 billion people and could easily produce enough to sustain the same amount with far less emissions, water, and land use if we didn’t produce so much meat. To summarise, it is not overpopulation that causes climate change, death by starvation and thirst or pollution but the capitalist system that prioritises profits over the planet and life
