Yume Nikki (and maybe Yume 2kki?) playthrough + analysis? I played the game a couple years ago... but I always thought it was about being a hikki and looking out into the world without being able to escape. Great game. There's so many ways to interpret it

It's redolent of its age, but drives me nuts. Personally, I'm thankful for orthoepic reforms.

English is certainly less wild and wooly than it was, but the French would rightly sneer at this notion that our (frankly demented) orthography is especially consistent.

Oh it drives me nuts too. Maybe that's why I dig it. It's an intellectual exercise. Is that a long s or an f? Yeah.

I tried to read Canterbury Tales in its (semi-reconstructed) Middle English years ago. Your longanimity exceeds mine by leagues.

It's really interesting to compare the evolution of our languages across the ages, I think the earliest de facto Portuguese text I found was from the twelfth-century and it's completely readable, especially if you also know a bit of Spanish. I would say that Galician it's pretty close to what Portuguese was at that time, I mean, we were Galician-Portuguese after all

and even before that we had vulgar Latin which is also surprisingly understandable

What's also remarkable is the persisting mutual intelligibility of those, along with Fala and Eonavian. Then compare them (and esp. their grammar) to Catalan....!

Considering that its incomparably immane lexicon eventuated mostly from amalgamation and agglutination, the convoluted developments of English diachrony seem almost modest. After the slow merger of Anglo-Saxon with Anglo-Norman, vast lexical influxions from 20+ languages over not quite a millennium resulted in less inflectional reduction than that of simpler languages (as Mandarin) over half that span.

All latin based languages are in a certain way highly mutually intelligible, at least textual form. with the exception of Romanian I think, that became a Slavic romance language of sorts. I was reading about this interesting constructed language called Romance Neolatino, It sounds soooooooo good and it's highly intelligible for romance speakers. I hope it gets some attention

Admittedly, Neolatin is appealing and agreeably dulcet -- much better than Esperanto! Romanian's grammar (notwithstanding enclitic definite articles) and verbal vocabulary are impeccably romance, but that Slavic influence in its nominal vocab. and phonology is unshakable. Nota bene: Romanians only fully jettisoned Cyrillic a century ago.

Your mention of mutual intelligibility reminded me of an amusing moment from "Sleuth," which I recently reviewed. Late in the third act, Michael Caine proffers a clue in Italian to frantic Laurence Olivier, who despises Italians but is conversant in Latin, by which he fenziedly deciphers the hinting epigram by tracing its cognates. >:P

They made internet a service where we are the products for advertisers, doesn't help google basically monopolizing the internet as well with their engine

Let's give total control of the WWW to an ad company. What could go wrong? It's my belief that this all started with the WHATWG and the development of HTML5; this is the vital moment that gave g**gle its dominant role on the WWW today. They were developing the standards, so it's obvious that they'd make the best browser! They know how to play the long game.

We control what you see: Search engines. We control how you see it: Standards and web engines. How are you going to go against us?

yeah, still, that's the mainstream web, the web still a protocol everyone can use and improve upon, obviously, if we go our separated from the mainstream we will lose the benefits that made us too accommodated but at the end of the day it's us vs them, fuck big tech. I would rather have small circle just like the early web than what we have nowadays

A quarter-century ago, corporations and the subhuman marketers who they employ determined that the Internet should be like teevee: crammed with obnoxious and ubiquitous ads, and all manner of trashy glut. The results speak for themselves.

The W3C is so brazenly perfidious that I'm stupefied that anyone is still using their shitty, needless validators. Use weblint.

Otra sugerencia, es que ademas de poder cambiar el fondo, poder agregar otros estilos al fondo, como una con bajo brillo otro que literalmente vez la luz del cielo, otro con sombras... cosas así

Neocities CDN is a bit lacking, it goes nuts requesting anything above 6+ hq images if you are not particularly close to their servers (Any person that isn't in North America)
With all of my photo galleries I would exceed the 1gb limit in a few months even with thumbnails alone. Though I do use it for everything other than photos.
For capacity (inter alia) remitment of 5bux/mo is actually a much easier option, esp. considering that I host a mirror here....
@ongezell I understand, but people are using cdns for icons, buttons, and the like... is it really worth it?
@saint-images yeah your use case is completely understandable. To think that without a 3rd party host we wouldn't have your photography...
dunno, I myself host all the assets of my main page on github (It loads REALLY fast) and on top of that I also use cloudflare. it works for me, whenever I want to add new stuff I just place the files on a local folder and push it to the repo
